NARS soft matte complete concealer http://www.narscosmetics.com/USA/soft-matte-complete-concealer/999NAC0000045.html?dwvar_999NAC0000045_color=7845012801#start=1
BURT'S BEES LIPSTICK http://www.burtsbees.com/product/lipstick/792850894495.html#q=lipstick&start=1
NARS SOFT MATTE COMPLETE CONCEALER
Php1650 ( 0.21 oz 6.2 g) at the Rustan's Nars counter. Also available in any Nars counter/store in the Philippines. It comes in a glass pot.
FINAL THOUGHTS
I got the shade Medium 1 custard (I'm an NC35). This has the same shade with their radiance concealer and probably their only similarity.
This concealer has no smell and has a creamy consistency. It is not cakey and does not crease under eyes. It covers all my dark spots and it lasts all day. You don't need a powder to set this. I still prefer the Nars radiant concealer under my eyes but this is still good and will do its job of concealing the darkness under eyes. This is also feels light on the skin. This is my new go to concealer when I use minimal makeup (concealer, brow product and lip product). Highly recommended and will repurchase.
BEFORE (took a picture of my dark spot on the nose)
AFTER (decided to zoom in the camera phone)
BURT'S BEES LIPSTICK
Php795 (0.12 oz/3.4 g) at Beauty Bar. Also available in Rustan's Burt's Bees counter and any Burt's Bees physical store in the Philippines. Comes in a very lightweight plastic packaging. I find the packaging really attractive.
FINAL THOUGHTS
I got (and so in love) with the shade Sunset Cruise (corally shade). It really goes well on my warm skintone and just brightens my face when I use this.
It has a subtle sweet scent with a creamy consistency. This is really lightweight and doesn't feel like a lipstick. It feels like a lip balm. I have tried tons of Burt's bees lip balm and I actually prefer using this than their lip balms. Don't get me wrong, their lip balms are great. Can you imagine the greatness of this lipstick now that I mentioned that their lip balms are great too? This has a sheer finish that gives hydration and moisturizes the lips. Never experienced dryness! Don't expect it to last long (since it is sheer) and this also transfers. Highly recommended and will definitely repurchase! Will also try other shades.
I'm sorry, my camera phone didn't give justice to this amazing lipstick. I also decided to zoom in the camera (which I think is a big mistake ✌). I wanted you to see how this suited my skintone (Mac NC35 for ref)
