Spotlight | Peripera Pure Blushed Velvet Cheek.

Although it was not my intent to buy a new blush during the Lazada 11.11 Sale, my current obsession with cheek color was just way too strong that I found myself adding the Peripera Pure Blushed Velvet Cheek to my shopping cart before the stroke of midnight.

 Cozy Creamy Rose (middle), and Appealing Dry Coral (bottom).

Inspired by beautiful autumn petals, this new set of blushers was launched a few weeks back as part of the Peripera 2018 Fall Collection, which the brand fondly calls as their 'Pink Moment' line. The colors were gorgeous in photos, and even more so in actual.

My very own Peripera Pure Blushed Velvet Cheek, delivered four days after the Lazada 11.11 Sale.

I got shade number 8 aka Appealing Dry Coral, a muted burnt orange that's suitable for all skin tones and befitting of the current makeup trend. Apparently, orange blush is the 'in' thing this season, and the shade that I got blends right in. (Pun intended, lol.)

I fell in love with this blush the moment I saw it on the Peripera website, and I loved it even more when I finally got to try the product. This blush has a soft, creamy texture that glides onto skin like velvet. Its texture is quite similar to the Airy Ink Velvet lip stains which is creamy to touch but feels light as air when applied on the skin.

I like how this blush doesn't streak nor look patchy even when worn on top of powder, and it doesn't enhance fine lines and pores the way other cream blushers do. Peripera recommends that you tap the blush on the skin to get that translucent, dewy flush, but if you want a matte finish, you can just rub it on your cheeks or apply it with a sponge.

I also love how the blush melts into the skin to give your cheeks a natural, healthy-looking flush, with the color staying put for six to eight hours at the most. This shade is highly pigmented, as you can see, so you only need a swipe or two from the pan to give your cheeks a lovely pop of colour.

And for ethereal, sun-kissed vibes, you can top it off with shimmery highlight!

Had I known these blushers would be so amazing, I would have bought all three in one go. Thankfully, there's a 12.12 Sale coming up - you know what I'm adding to my cart this time! :)

Spotlight | Tupperware Brands Colorfull Satin Lipstick & Colorfull Cheek Magix Cream.

We're currently on a Holy Week break - no classes for an entire week, which means I don't have to worry about Yue's homework or quizzes or projects or what-not, and I have lots of free time to catch up on my favorite Korean dramas and blog backlogs. Yay!

Let's start with my review of these lip and cheek products from Tupperware Brands' Colorfull line. These items were included in the Happy New Me package sent by Tupperware Brands Philippines earlier this year.

Colorfull from Tupperware Brands Philippines.

A trademark of Colorfull products is their fun and playful packaging and kitschy designs. I reckon this makeup line is geared towards a 'younger' audience - as in teens and women in their early 20's.

The price point of these products are one of the lowest in the market, too. These lipsticks, for instance, retail for just Php 109 a pop.

But affordability doesn't necessarily mean that you're sacrificing quality. In terms of pigmentation, these Colorfull Satin Lipsticks deliver intense color payoff with just one swipe.

They glide on your lips like a dream, and leave your lips feeling soft and supple with a lovely satin finish.

Fierce Red.

Fierce Red is a shade that's somewhere in between pink and berry red, while Midnight is a cool-toned plum that looks flattering on most skin tones. There are ten other satin lipstick shades in the Colorfull line, most of which are pinks and reds.

Midnight.

In terms of wear time, Fierce Red is so-so - about two or three hours before the color starts to fade; Midnight is more long-wearing as the color stays in place for up to five hours.

Colorfull Cheek Magix Cream.

The Colorfull Cheek Magix Cream, on the other hand, is a cream-type blush that changes from white to pink as you apply it on your skin. This product retails for Php 149 and is available in just one shade - Pink Spice.

Product description and usage instructions at the back of the box.

It comes in a cute, convenient, and hygienic squeeze tube with a small opening that allows you to control the amount of product to be dispersed.

The cream is mildly scented (it has a hint of berries, which I certainly don't mind), and has a velvety texture when applied.

The key to achieving a natural flush with the Cheek Magix Cream is to start with a small amount of the product and blend it rapidly across the cheeks. Wait for the color to pop before applying another layer until you get the pink flush that you desire.

I like how this product gives your cheeks a gentle wash of color and a subtle, pinkish glow. If you're going for the 'no-makeup' makeup look, this product will give your cheeks a lovely, natural-looking flush. The only downside is that the flush doesn't stay all day. You have to retouch every once in a while to keep that pinkish glow on your cheeks.

The Colorfull Satin Lipstick and the Colorfull Cheek Magix Cream are available at Tupperware Brands branches nationwide. You may also purchase products through registered dealers near you.
