Manhattan Apocalips

Manhattan lip lacquer in Rose & Shine is a beautiful mauve rose. It is super pigmented but a pity it is not a stain. As a liquid lipstick, it does a good job to bring out the color, and glossiness of the product. The applicator has a little scoop. But take a look at the packaging, you will scream Apocalips! Even the scent is the same. Everything about it is the same. I think Manhattan and Rimmel is like Maxfactor and Cover Girl. But I might be wrong. Ok, I've checked. They both are own by Coty, who owns lots of Celebrity perfume, NYC, OPI, Philosophy, to name a few. So it's no wonder the products are pretty similar.


I love the color! It's just so pink. So mauve. So nuetral but it's not boring. It just makes your lips look so much fuller. Anyway, the reason I say it is Apocalips is cause I know Rimmel and Manhattan is something I don't get access to, let alone know it exist until recently. So while Manhattan is in Rose & Shine, Rimmel is in Celestial.

They look so alike. But sometimes I feel they are slightly differ. I don't know if it's cause of the lighting, as when I twist and look at different angle, the shade kind of differ. Well, ever so slightly. So I am not sure if it is my eyes playing a trick on me. If you look at the picture, you'll see a different shade. Rose & Shine is just a tad darker than Celestial. But I really think is cause of the lighting. If you see from the first pic, the swatches - one is more glossy, but that is cause it reflect the light. So I conclude they are the same.

Givenchy Le Rose Perfecto Lip Balm

This is in the shade 201, creamy and a hint of light milky pink. I like that it is pretty, but the shade doesn't really suit me. What I like best is that they can engrave your name on the packaging. So it is pretty.

Beauty Uk Baked Blush

A red blush looks really intimidating on the box but I picked this up cause I want something different for my collection. It's just a cardboard box kind of packaging, secured with magnet, so it's really simple. It's quite big and like all baked product, it's dome in shape. So it's actually quite bulky. I wouldn't bring it for travel that's for sure. The color payoff is good, but instead of red it's more pink. You can use it sparingly and it will be lighter or you can pack on the color which will gives you a really bright pink. In fact, if lightly dust over your cheek it is more coral than pink. It has tiny specks of shimmer, but it doesn't show. I can't remember how much I bought this for but it wasn't expensive. It's not my favorite blush, but I find myself reaching for it a lot. So that's something isn't?
