Wet 'n Wild Mega Last Lipstick in Sugar Plum Fairy Review ♥


908C Sugar Plum Fairy

A dupe for MAC Lipstick in Rebel.


As for the packaging, it is not exactly my type but I love how the packaging shows the lip color when it is standing up. In the bottom part of the lipstick, the lipstick shade, name, and weight are written there. I find that the cap is not that easy to open that makes it secure when inside the bag and bacteria will not easily adhere to the lipstick.


This is the swatch of it at the back of my hand. It is opaque and is very true to color, so I love it and it is perfect for fall.

My eye was caught with the 'Megalast' so I tested it out to see how long will it really last on my lips. It states in the product description that it lasts for 4 hours.

I tested it out yesterday and applied it on at 6pm.
I applied it above a lip balm and it smooths on nicely on my lips. It gives a good color pay off and it doesn't have a bad taste and smell; and I am very particular to the smell of my lipsticks.

It is already 10pm and I have already eaten my dinner and the color is still attached to my lips. It does transfer but my lips are still bright that I didn't reapplied it. It also didn't dried out my lips, which are really dry in the first place. I don't know if it is because of the lip balm or if the lipstick is just not drying. It didn't bleed out either.

Even before I washed my face and went to bed at 1am, the color of the lipstick is in my lips and I am really in love with this lipstick. The only thing I don't like about this is that it transfers, but nonetheless I super love it and I encourage others to buy the Wet 'n Wild Mega Last Lipstick.

PS: I will also be reviewing the Wet 'n Wild Mega Last Liquid Lip Color, so please stay tuned for that. :)

Careline Pimple Concealer vs e.l.f. Tone Correcting Concealer

Careline Cosmetics is a local cosmetic company in the Philippines and a sister company of Ever Bilena or EB Cosmetics. I personally consider it as a cheaper or an affordable version of EB makeup products. On the other hand, e.l.f. cosmetics is a brand based in USA and is known for its affordable cosmetics.

For this particular blog, I will be comparing Careline Cosmetics Pimple Concealer with Tea Tree Oil, which I recently tried out to the e.l.f. Tone Correcting Concealer, which I am using for quite some time now. Both concealer are very affordable and are available in most of the department stores in the country and even supermarket offers it.

I only used the careline pimple concealer once but I found it not concealing really well. It has a light coverage and it has a light liquid consistency. It may be compared to the e.l.f. tone correcting concealer but it differs with the price, of course, and its concealing power.

e.l.f. Tone Correcting Concealer is priced at PHP129.75, while the careline pimple concealer is PHP80. There is a gap of PHP50 but you can see the difference in the coverage. This may conclude that price really matters. I thought careline's concealer will steal my heart from the e.l.f one but it didn't. It has a strong scent of the tea tree oil, and it seems to sting my eye. Both of them have a light coverage but e.l.f. conceals better than the careline. 

In totality, I will not replace the e.l.f. tone correcting concealer and I regret buying the Careline Pimple Correcting Concealer even though it is only PHP80. I don't think I will use it again soon, but I will try it again in the future. I will be updating you through this blog.
