Detail Makeover Matte Lipstick in Guilty

Detail has finally made its way to the main market. What makes me interested about this product is that it is a recently launched local brand and is guaranteed affordable. I decided to get my hands on one of their lipstick despite having so much shades to choose from I needed to pick one to try and review. Good job Detail for having a wide range of colors to choose from.

I had Detail matte Lipstick in shade Guilty

Guilty is brownish mauve

From the looks of the package it looks sleek and expensive. The black encasement is made of light plastic with a clear plastic at the bottom to showcase the color of the lipstick

Swatching it onto skin feels thick and pigmented but on the lips the color pay off is not on its full unless you swipe it multiple times. Nonetheless, the final look of the color on my lips looks superb. It says 'Matte' but it seems to me that it more on the satin side than matte.

Lasting power - not much as it transfers easily. Doesn't stain at all

Overall it is a great buy for me. The color is wearable I can use every day and it's a great addition to my lipstick collection. Definitely will try other of its shades

Kokuryu Creamy Pat Review

Kokuryu has been the one of the first line of makeup out there that is why I got curious of their makeup quality. Kokuryu doesn't only sell those summer cakes we usually see, Kokuryu has full line of makeup--from eye pencil, lip stick, blush, mascara, you name it!  So I decided to try one of their pressed powders.

Kokuryu Creamy Pat in Bare Bisque

Now don't confuse this with their Cream Cake foundation, it has the same packaging but it's different. It's a cream type and this one is powder

It has 6 shades actually: Bare Bisque, Earthy Bisque, Blushing Pink, Peach Brandy, Misty Peach and Sun Tan. By the time I was on the stall of Kokuryu only 2 shades are available -- Bare Bisque and Misty Peach

I got Bare Bisque because I think Misty Peach is too dark for me

"It is a cream powder and foundation in one. Used to complete your make-up and give your face that satin smooth finish. Ideal for re-touching make-up."

Directions:

1. Clean face thoroughly  

2. Condition skin with soft lotion (for nomal and dry skin) or Ash Lotion (for Oily skin)

3. Apply base cream

4. Apply cake or cream foundation.

5. Lightly dub on Kokuryu Creamy PAT using the shade suited to your skin tone.

  

Let's start with the packaging: It's elegant black and looks expensive. Sturdy even though it is made of plastic. The label doesn't get erased easily. It has a separator which separates the sponge from the powder and it is attached to the pan itself so the separator doesn't fall off. Looks expensive but you know Kokuryu is very affordable and it retails for about 120+ pesos. I prefer the type of applicator it has than other powder applicators which is just a small sponge

It has super smooth consistency more creamy than powdery. It cakes a little with my foundation and emphasizes the dry patches on my skin. Staying power is fair around 4-6 hours. Light to medium buildable coverage. Good in controlling oil and touch ups but it does oxidize on me

So the downside of this product is it's shade. It's just way too pinkish orange for me. It could pass as a blush. It also has a strong medicated smell that made me feel dizzy and smells like your mom's perfume

Overall it's a good product--7/10 it's affordable and convenient and I would probably buy another if the other shades are available.
