This product caught my attention right away 

after reading everything about it. 

Sorry for I'm a sucker of the best skin care!  

I got this for Php2,500 from my supplier plus shipping. 

I saw this in some derma clinics and 
it's almost twice the price i got... whew!  

I know it's ok to spend for something worth it 

but if you can look for a cheaper price, why not... agree?

Anyhow, I got this to prevent wrinkles, pores 

(biggy pores, i hate!), and some pigmentation. 

You're supposed to apply this every other night only, 

but i do it every night. I didn't feel any negative side
effects so far. ( I hope not in the future!) 

What I noticed after a week of using, my oily skin 

of mine became less oily... oh wow! love love it.   

Had some micro peeling also but not that visible 
when i put make up...i just need to apply moisturizer 
after 10 mins. of application.

i like the bottle, very hygienic and not heavy...
just like the regular bottle, i think this isn't 
a glass bottle... dunno the name of that kind though.

Also it contains 50ml. of the product, 

so this can really last for monthssss!

but wait... here's what i hate!

it happens most of the time if not always!

i wish they can change the kind of pump they used! 

puhleez puhleez...

The Serum looks like this...

ok i'll give you the freedom to think about the "looks"! lol

i use 2 pumps with that same amount on my entire face,

you only need a very thin layer anyway.

 after  spreading the serum...

it looks like this...feels sticky but...

after 2-3 mins. of application, 

it will dry up... not super dry though!

It's been 7 months since i started using M2...

and I'm so happy I did!

I think this product will stay with me forever...

hoping they won't discontinue! 
(Cross fingers)

RATING: 9/10 (if not of the cap/pump)

you girls, did you ever try this product?

love lots,

FAVORITE PINK LIPSTICKS

Weeeeeh finally, my first post!

Been really wanting to start blogging... 
but i didn't find time for it... argh!

Oh well here's my first! yey!

(Please bear with my first review).

Before anything else, i wanna thank Pammytweet

for motivating me to have this blog workin.

Thank you... thank you... hugs hugs for you! <3

Let's get started...

Kinda addicted to pink lippies the past months, 

here are some of my 3 top faves!

Mac Pink Nouveau, Nyx Matte in Summer Breeze 

and Mac Candy Yum Yum. 

Based from my swatches, Mac PN and Nyx Matte in Summer Breeze 

looks very similar !?! Well it's almost the same on my lips too! ha  

 Mac "Pink Nouveau"

(photo from Mac Site)

Mac PN is described as a bright pink with a satin finish 

in Mac Web Site and costs $14.50 or 950php.

When this first came out, i fell in love right away...

and considered it as my first love pink lippy.

 It has been my only lippy for almost a month...

I'm almost out of it so i really need to get a new one!

Apply using a lip brush, i get the best result.

Pigment is awesome plus lasts almost all day!

 Nyx Matte Lipstick "Summer Breeze"

The newest range of Nyx Lippy is a matte finish, i picked 

Summer Breeze because i noticed it can be a dupe of my Mac PN,

(my first <3). Based from Nyx Web Site...

  Bought this online for only 295php i think, cheapy stuff right?

Compared to some other matte lippys, this is a lil waxy/glossy,

so if you think it can be drying, nah ah... which i think is a good point!

Texture wise, glides on smoothly. Pigment... very good too!

One swipe will really show the color. Lasting? 6-8hrs on me.

Summer Breeze will definitely be a love for me now... 

for its price and quality, who wouldn't?!?

Though i would still love to repurchase my first love...

want to have an emergency back up (which goes to Nyx Summer Breeze),

while waiting for my new PN.

(which is most of the time OOS in Mac Counters here... Philippines!)

Arighty... more swatches for comparison... 

NYX Matte Lipsticks are highly pigmented, richly formulated lipsticks 

that glide on smoothly, stay put and impart a non-glossy, 

high-fashion matte finish as they envelop lips in brilliant color.

Nyx Summer Breeze on me... whoopee! 

~ with flash~

me wearing Nyx Matte in "Summer Breeze" no gloss on top.

Mac "Candy Yum Yum"

 My all time fave, because it really stands the word "matte"... 

Mac Candy Yum Yum, a matte neon pink,

oh it's really a neon pink and almost glowing on my lips.

This can be drying (i didn't experience that so far),

but just to be safe, i put my lip balm before application.

Looks dry coz it's matte but i didn't feel that actually!

This is an LE shade btw. And I'm one of those lucky ones 

who were able to get one. Yay for me!
