The Lip Tint I Didn’t Use as a Tint… and Loved Anyway

I saw these one day at the BYS gondola in my local Watsons and made a mental note to buy it. I was new to BYS then and I didn’t want to keep buying new things. I was still testing them on my very sensitive skin. Then one day, my Glow Guide Sarah told me that they were on BOGO!

Of course I had to get them right away!

These are peptide lip tints. Now, I don’t know about you, but I like researching terms that they add to makeup. I want to know what I’m putting on my skin,

So, here are a few benefits of peptides in lip tints:

Peptide Lip Tint – Benefits

• Deeply hydrates lips and helps prevent dryness and flaking

• Supports the lip barrier so moisture lasts longer

• Smooths texture, making lips look softer and more even

• Helps reduce the appearance of fine lines on the lips

• Gives a subtle plumping effect for a fuller, healthier look

• Improves how lipstick sits on the lips (less patchy, less cracking)

• Works as both makeup and lip care (skincare + color in one)

• Provides a soft, cushioned feel without heaviness

As you can see, these look like gloss. I’m used to tint that’s thinner. These are thick and a little sticky. So, I use them as gloss over my lipsticks that feel too matte.

The hydration power from the peptides is great for my dry lips, too:

Finally, I use it to tone down a shade that’s too much for the day’s makeup.

I have never tried to use it as a lip tint and will never use it as is because of the texture…and I like it that way.

This shade lives in my going out beauty kit

This shade lives in a drawer on my beauty desk

One tip though, don’t keep the lip tints on the key ring as they pop out easily. You will lose your lip tints or someone might steal them. The idea is cute, but it’s not functional.

Having these in my beauty arsenal has made me more creative with my looks. My lipsticks are now more versatile because of these.

I didn’t need another lipstick. I just needed something that knew how to calm or elevate one down.

Alone Time

My good friend Kitten and I were supposed to go out yesterday but she had some unexpected things come up. I needed to buy some stuff as I am packing for a trip and so I went alone. I actually enjoy going out alone as much as going out with girlfriends or MB. It gives me a chance to eat whatever I like to eat and explore new restos. It’s also nice to take my time when shopping. After paying my bills, I had a late lunch at Toast Box: I love Hainanese Chicken. I sometimes cook this dish but it’s too tedious so I settle for eating out. I’m so happy that there are now restaurants that serve proper Hainanese Chicken. Well, except that one above was sooooo bloody. It was swimming in blood when I pulled the meat apart so I had it changed. You know what Gordon Ramsay says, bloody chicken is poisonous. This is the second time I ate at Toast Box and in both times, the chicken was so bloody. After lunch, I started shopping. First stop was Beabi where I bought these: The Sakura thermos on...

Soft Luxe Travels: Day 1 - The Journey to Vigan Part 1

In this post, we will start our journey to Vigan! The Night Before After packing our things, I did a few things for myself to help me relax and decompress so that I can sleep. I'm a night owl and not used to waking up early nor sleeping early, so I have to be strategic. I painted my nails that night after all my chores, so that the nail polish wouldn't chip. However, I forgot that I needed to make pressed sandwiches for our breakfast the following day! Because really, what’s a road trip mom without freshly painted nails and a last-minute kitchen hustle? 😂 So, I had to do a lot of washing and hoped for the best that my nail polish will not chip! Luncheon meat, eggs, Kewpie Trust me, it tastes better than it sounds at 11 PM while trying not to chip your polish. That night, we also tried the Ube Halaya from Amira's. This was from our trip to Tagaytay . I'll try to make a review of this on my food blog . With everything prepped, I finally let myself drift off—half excit...

Holiday State of Mind

Sometimes, a quick escape is all it takes to reset the spirit. Tagaytay always gives me that holiday state of mind… Even a short drive can feel like a retreat when your heart is ready to embrace rest. My son successfully finished his recital last Sunday and as a reward, my sister treated us to Tagaytay yesterday. Getting Ready for the Trip I decided to use my BYS Golden Hour Palette for today's look. Makeup, for me, is part of the ritual—it sets the tone that today is special. Here are the swatches: From top to bottom: Polaroid, Candid, Aperture, In Focus, Portrait, Panoramic In Focus is slightly wet, like something between a liquid and cream eyeshadow. The color is gorgeous! I love Panoramic, too! Polaroid is a bit chalky and not as pigmented as the shadows in the Queen Bee Palette. Here are the face shades: Highlighter: Illumination Contour: Ambiance I haven't tried Illumination yet, only Ambiance. I used it on top of my BYS Bronzer. It's a buildable powder, a littl...
