[Dupe Alert! + REVIEW ] Lime Crime Dupe from PAC

Hi y'all!

A week ago i bought Lime Crime's Pink Velvet for my show, thinking i wouldn't have to retouch so many times for when i eat,drink,doing face change, or accidentally got hit when dancing(it happened) also because there are 2 shows in a day, so i thought this lime crime will help me reduce one more thing to re-apply

And?

I was wrong...

Well the color is really pigmented,it really didn't dry your lips, it's also very light i can feel it, but the staying power is only okay, i've been reading and hearing reviews about limecrime velvetines lip stain, that said "the colors will stay even after you woke up from your sleep" well...psh! I think it's overrated, for me the staying power is only okay, max factor's lip stain's staying power is much better, but it made your lips dry though...

Picture time!

The aplicator is a small wand that made it easier to apply the product to my lips

I scraped most of the product, the color is really pigmented even though you only use a little product, nice! The lipstain is water based, but it gradually feel sticky

On dim lighting

After 3 hours (no drinking or eating, indoor lighting)

After 6 hours (still no eating n drinking)

 

After appetizer...sashimi and wakame...is appetizer right?

After finished dinner!

Most of the lipstain is gone :'(

Oh well i guess it is hard to find a perfect lip product hehehehe

I still love the product though, the pigmentation is amazing, it's vegan so it's nice for our skin! The matte result is also so gorgeous

But you know what? I actually had the dupe way before this! Hehehe

I present to you PAC matte lipstick in dare pink!

(Can you guess which is which?)

The color is exactly the same! The finished look is also matte and both product didn't made my lips dry!

As you can see in the picture limecrime(left one) is more pigmented :) 

but sorry lime crime, i'd still prefer to repurchase PAC for it's wayyy more cheaper (50% cheaper guys!)

Tada! The color is really similar, (in these pics the lighting made PAC looked darker but it's not,just bad lighting hahaha while the limecrime one is took near LED light) 

PAC matte lipstick is a little bit shinier while Lime Crime is really matte

Okay... So pros n cons time!

First:

Lime Crime

Pros: 

- very pigmented

- kiss proof(cheek to cheek,not lips)

- gorgeous matte result

- didn't dry my lips

- vegan!

Cons:

- expensive

- hard to get in my country

- staying power is only okay

- not water,oil, and smudge proof 

PAC

Pros:

- cheaper

- easy to get in my country

- gorgeous matte result

- pigmented

- didn't dry my lips

Cons:

- not kiss proof(again,cheek to cheek not lips) nor water,oil, or smudge proof

- not vegan, which means possibility for a person with sensitive skin get irritation is higher

- eh...i got nothing more hahaha

So yea, basically i'll only repurchase PAC because it's more worth my money hehehehehehe so sorry lime crime! 

I hope this review helps!

[REVIEW] Les Merveilleuses De Laduree Rose Petal Blush

Hi guys!

Finally my musical is doonnneee soo happy yay! I'm gonna miss the rush hehehehee~

Today i wanna make a review for Les Merveilleuses de Laduree's rose petal blush!

This suupppeeerrr cuuuuttteeee blush can only be bought in japan or france (for now) i bought it online from @ettusais_cosme 

This blush is sold separately from the case though :( which made it more expensive, but the case can be use for keeping potpourri later :D because the blush is definitely inspired from potpurri (well...i assume...)

This is the case for the blush petals

Voila! Inside the box is a satin pouch that is used to cover the blush petal

This is the case for the blush petals, the manufacturer already arranged them into a rose so cute <3

And that's the case, it's made from plastic, and the lid had no secure lock so we have to be carefull

Zoom into the petal...wow such details!

Btw i expect the petal will be hard like a chip, but it turns out the petal is so thin like a paper! And soft too~ They also have a rose fragrance not too much though, the fragrance is gentle

And tadaa! I tried my best to arrange the petals into a rose...i think i did an okay job....right?

Okay now for swatches and review:

To use the blush it's imposibble to keep the blush in the rose shape :'D because you have to mix your brush into it and hey, surpisingly, the color is more pigmented than i thought! I've read some review saying the blush color is not so pigmented so i assume a faint color but this blush is actually not bad~

I put the blush on in one swipe and the color is nice! Really natural, I love the color :3

I seriously didn't think that the color will be pigmented, of course it's not the most pigmented blush in the world, i'm just surprise because i expect it to be very sheer n faint colored hehehe

And this is me 3 hours after appliying, the color is still there, but i didn't sweat and i used car for traveling today, so i'm not so surprised i'll try using it for work and practice next time mwahahahah~

So the conclusion is

Pros :

- super cute packaging

- super cute design

- the color is pigmented enough(recomended for daily only though...for a show in other hand...it'll be a waste because you have to use a huge amount of blush)

- the formula didn't feel heavy

- the fragrance is gentle

Cons :

- super expensive, especially because you have to buy the case sepparately

- super hard to find outside japan n france(which made it more expensive)

- not really worth it if you're the kind of people who value quality=price hehehe

Will i buy it again?

Well...probably...when i'm getting married in the future? U know, for photoshoot and videoshooting lol not sure my blush will stay a long time considering i've never even had a boyfriend untill now ahahahahaha~ 

Well i'm gonna go have a dinner now, oh btw in the picture i used limecrime pink velvetines, which going to be my next review! Let's see if this lipstain really stay a long time ;D ciao for now!
