Heads up: This blog post was actually written last Nov 15, 2015, I just reposted it from old blog site because these are three of my favorite products before. Well I dont have them now only bc I cant find them anymore. I still buy my lip tints from the Faceshop but it's from their faceshop x Disney collab and I cant seem to find my luck in Etude Lip tints naman because it's always out of stock. I'll soon post a review of my lip tints and lip moisturizer im currently using, but for now.. here's a review for the products i was using before.

I always wanted to cure the dryness of my lips so I decided to end the agony (naks!). I researched for the possible causes and cure. For the last week of my sembreak I used petroleum jelly. Okay, stop saying ew because it actually works! Plus its label says ‘soothes chapped skin and lips’ so it’s safe. But to tell you honestly, it doesn’t taste good. Not that I actually lick it, I just have this habit of licking my lips most of the time (which is actually bad bc it’s one of the causes of having dry and chapped lips. Yup, it’s true.). So after sembreak, I immediately spent my allowance for lip moisturizer and lip tints.

The first thing I bought is Nivea Med Protection with spf 15 (which I mistakenly thought as a lip balm) is a good moisturizer plus it doesnt make your lips look shiny and glossy. I apply it before I sleep and after I wash my face in the morning. It smells and taste good so you don’t have to worry if you unconsciously lick your lips all of the time. For 1 week, chapped and dry lips no more.

ps. I dont know if it is a lip balm but it doesn’t state that it is so.. yeah.

Second item on the list is The Face Shop’s Aqua Tint. I bought this because I’ve read a good review about this product. Yes its color is nice and it dries easily. But wont stay long on your lips if you often eat or drink a lot of water (as for me since I eat from time to time). So I tried applying it on my cheeks (since I think I wont be using it on my lips) and voila! It’s not that bad after all. Lip tints tips (I found out myself): if it doesn’t suit your lips, put it on your cheeks. Haha! It’s nice on my lips but it is way better on my cheeks.

The last but definitely my favorite is Dear Darling Tint from Etude. Why is it my favorite? Well it stays longer than any other lip tint I’ve used. Probably the best in my list. Its stays longer than your ex. Haha kidding. I apply it for like once or twice a day (only). I really find it hard to remove it while washing my face at night. Kailangan ko pang i-rub yung fingers ko sa lips ko para matanggal sya totally. If you’re one of those girls na tamad mag apply ng paulit ulit (like me) I recommend this lip tint :). It comes with three shades (mine is number 2).

Both of the lip tints smells and tastes good. If you want to try I suggest you buy (woah! it rhymes) directly on their respective branches to avoid fake and unsafe products. *wink*

Here are the list of the product and their links. check it awt :)
