I will try my best to explain what AHA, BHA, and PHA are in the easiest way for you to differentiate. And now, I’m going to expect for you guys to not be bothered if my explanation isn’t very detailed since I don’t want this blog to be too long and boring. It is not my point for people to get bored and leave before knowing what I want to explain (and look, I’ve been talking way too much out of topic now). There are way more detailed explanation and articles out there that is very informative and I want you to read them if you need more explanation about these. Ok, let’s start explaining this topic :D.

So, what are AHA, BHA and PHA?

AHA, BHA and PHA are acids that will help exfoliate your skin to have a smooth surface and brightens up. For quite sometimes, people love to use chemical exfoliation as a way to exfoliate their skin rather than using physical exfoliation. Why? It is because sometimes physical exfoliations can lead to micro-tear and we don’t want any of that on our face. Please do not worry since micro-tear only can be seen under a microscope and look like a rough surface (so, it doesn’t sound that extreme like how they’re called, but still need to be avoided). You can get micro-tear from large particles of scrub, usually made from fruit pits and nut shells. But there are also many other physical exfoliators that have smaller particles that is a safer option but have less effect than the chemical one. So, that’s the reason why people usually choose chemical exfoliation than the physical one.

That’s enough explanation about types of exfoliator for now, so let’s move on to what they truly are for ^^.

AHA

AHA stands for Alpha Hydroxy Acids which derived from sugar cane, milk, and other natural resources. Many of them usually called fruit acids since they can be found from fruits (like Apple, Lemon, Strawberries and etc.). Ingredients that have AHA in them are Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, Citric Acid, Tartaric Acid, Malic Acid, and Mandelic Acid. But the most popular ingredients that usually used by companies are Glycolic Acid (from sugar cane) and Lactic Acid (from milk).

They are made of small molecules so it helps on penetrating the skin better. They are also water-soluble and this help absorption of moisture so much better than the other acids. Hence why they are great for dry skin since they will help moisturize your skin better. But, the downside is AHA only works on outer skin since they can’t penetrate oil and won’t be that effective for oily skin.

BHA

Which is why we have the other acid that will solve that problem and it’s BHA. BHA stands for Beta Hydroxy Acids which only have one ingredients that contain them and that is Salicylic Acid. This acid is an ingredient that derived from Aspirin and Willow Bark which is why they have anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and soothing effects. BHA is oil-soluble which suits people who have acne-prone and oily skin since it can penetrate oil that usually clumps your pore and that’s why they can also help on reducing blackheads, whiteheads, and excess oil production. And I’ve also read this somewhere that pregnant women should consult their doctor if they want to use BHA since they derived from Aspirin which is not a good option to do. They are slightly better for sensitive skin since AHA can be irritating for skin (causing redness and make your face burns for a while). If you’d like to try to put PHA onto your skincare regime, look out for Gluconolactone and Lactobionic acid on the labels.

PHA

PHA stands for Poly Hydroxystearic Acid which have the same benefits like AHA but more gentle on the skin. It has larger molecules than AHA and that’s why PHA cannot penetrate deep into the skin like how AHA does. But since PHA cannot penetrate deep into the skin, it is less likely to cause irritation and makes it a safer option for people who have super sensitive skin. It is said that it can holds up more moisture for almost 10 times better than AHA.

So, what are the benefits and the concerns of using AHA, BHA and PHA for chemical exfoliator?

Please note that some of the information under this section will repeat the information above since I will explain further on what makes them different and what is their benefit to each type of skin more detailed.

AHA

If you have aging, dry and sun-damaged skin, it would be preferable to use AHA. And since it is a water-soluble acid, it will give this boost for your skin to absorb more moisture and make it more hydrated. But, it is not an oil-soluble and cannot penetrate through oil and that’s why BHA came into work. And please be careful for using AHA in your skincare routine since it is made up from these tiny molecules that even though helping to penetrate skin deeply, it is more likely to irritate skin than the other acids (sensitive skin is not preferred for using this type of acid).

BHA

For you guys who have acne-prone and oily skin, BHA is an oil-soluble acid which makes it perfect since it can penetrate through oil. It will help removing those dirt and gunk inside your pores while helping reducing those nasty whiteheads, blackheads and your sebum production. Reducing sebum productions will also help on reducing those blockage of Sebaceous Gland duct which usually leads to acne as well. So, I really recommend for you guys who have acne problems to use BHA in your skincare regime. By the way, while it is said that BHA is less likely to irritate skin more than AHA, I found that some BHA skincare can also causing redness and the burns feeling as well just like how AHA did. Because of that, I really hope for you guys who have sensitive skin to be careful choosing skincare which have this type of acid as well. Another notes for you guys, using BHA will dry your skin, so don’t forget to moisturize your skin after exfoliating.

PHA

It is rare to see skincare that uses PHA as their ingredients since it isn’t that well-known (probably because PHA too late joining the AHA & BHA trends) in skincare world. PHA have the same benefits like AHA and also a water-soluble acid which really makes us wondering so what is the difference between PHA and the AHA then? PHA have larger molecules than AHA, that’s why it can’t penetrate deep into the skin like AHA but less likely to irritate skin than the other acids. “Well, if it said that it can’t penetrate deep into skin, why don’t we use AHA then since using PHA would be kind of pointless, right?” Maybe some of you will think about this. In some way yes, I think AHA from the bigger look would be more effective in exfoliating because of the small molecules. But, they said that PHA will gradually penetrates and will less likely to cause irritation. This is why it is a recommended acid for those who have super sensitive skin. It is also said that PHA can hold moisture almost 10 times better than AHA, so please try this if you have dry skin and cannot use any AHA products.

In some way, I think PHA truly is a remarkable acid that can substitute AHA. But, there’s still little products that have PHA in them so, I’m sorry guys if I can’t give any good recommendations for PHA skincare products :(.

What you need to know before using any AHA, BHA and PHA

These are all the ingredients that you, without any guidance of a dermatologist should not mix. But try to alternate the usage if you really need to use both of them. Maybe you can use AHA today and Retinol tomorrow. Please also note that this is important since it can cause irritation to your skin. So, here are the list :D.

AHA + BHA

It shouldn’t be used together actually since both of them are acids and over-exfoliate isn’t good for your skin. “Huh? So why are there so many companies creating products using both AHA and BHA in one product then?”. Okay, a dermatologist said that under a guidance of a dermatologist sometimes product that contains both of them can be used and create a good result. This doesn’t mean that you alone can combine different products of AHA and BHA and use both of them in one time. They are created for one purpose only and you didn’t know how much concentrate that you need for each AHA & BHA to be combined since miss-calculate formulas will only hurt your skin.

Retinol (Vitamin A) + Acids

Retinol is known for its anti-aging effect which reduces fine lines, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. Sadly, it does exfoliate your skin and we don’t want to over-exfoliate our skin by adding acids.

Vitamin C + Acids

Same like Retinol, Vitamin C exfoliate your skin because of it's acidic properties. That's why we don’t want to mix them with the acids for the same reason (not over-exfoliate).

                           

Benzoyl Peroxide + Acids

Since Benzoyl exfoliate your skin like the other ingredients that I list above, it would be preferred to use them alternately when you use acids. Benzoyl Peroxides also can over dry your skin if combined with acids. 

Most of them have the same reason for why we shouldn't mix any of those ingredients to our acids. We shouldn't over-exfoliate and over-drying our skin since it will only irritating it more and more. 

And that's all ^^, are you still with me until this point of the blog? If you are, OMG! Thanks guys, I hope this post will help you who are new to AHA, BHA and PHA. And I’m very sorry if this gets too long and probably boring, but some of the information need to be shared so you guys would understand better. 

I’m going to write more post like this which will inform you guys too and not only reviewing products. So, if you guys have any critics or comments on how I write this informative post, please do comment below. Like maybe you think this is boring, too long or anything, please do tell me so since it will help me on improving better at the future. But, I’m sorry if some can’t be change since it is important for you to know, and you can skip to other section that interest you if you already know about it. Some people though, they want to know and it is unfair if I’m explaining it shortly and they didn’t get any information out of it. I hope you guys understand about this matter :D.

Thanks guys for reading this blog, I’m going to see you later at the next post. Have a good day everyone! Cheers!

Produk yang bakal aku review hari ini merupakan Lip Glaze dari BLP. Nah, tadinya aku mau review duluan si Lip Gloss kolaborasi Lux Crime X Titan Tyra karena lip gloss ini lebih dahulu aku beli daripada si Lip Glaze BLP. Berhubung lip gloss ini sudah termasuk barang yang lumayan lama beredar di pasaran, yaudah yang ini dulu kali ya :D. Sayang sekali sih aku hanya beli satu shade yaitu Poppy Jam dikarenakan lip product aku sudah cukup banyak :(. Namanya cewe ya susah banget gitu jaga mata, suka jelalatan kalau liatin lipstik baru hahah. Dan lagi salah satu shade mereka yang aku pingin banget juga cuma merupakan bentuk lip gloss dari matte liquid lipstick mereka yang sudah aku punya yaitu Maple Waffle. Jadi ngapain juga kan ya beli yang warnanya sama persis? By the way, kalau kalian kepo dengan review aku mengenai Liquid Lipstick Maple Waffle dari BLP silahkan baca disini ya. Nah yuk kita mulai sekarang reviewnya <3 

Packaging

First of all, botol si lip product ini berbeda dengan botol Lip Coat BLP yang biasa. Kalau botol Lip Coat BLP semuanya berbahan plastik dengan lapisan doff, si Lip Glaze ini berbahan plastik yang bening dan gampang banget untuk dilihat shadenya dibandingkan botol si Lip Coat. Jujur sih aku lebih suka kemasan si Lip Glaze karena bening, mudah untuk dilihat warnanya dan terlihat lebih oke aja gitu dibandingkan lapisan yang doff. Tapi si kemasan doff BLP juga aku suka banget :( jadi bingung deh saiaa.

Lip Glaze dari BLP ini dijual seharga Rp 139.000,- untuk produk seberat 4 gr. Jadi cukup banyak ya untuk harganya BLP termasuk affordable sekali untuk kualitasnya yang oke :D. Nah, Lip Glaze ini memiliki 4 shade yaitu Sparkling Rose, Spiced Masala, Poppy Jam dan Cranberry Cobbler. Menurut aku warna-warnanya super cocok dengan kulit Indonesia, jadi warna manapun yang kamu beli bakalan aman.

Catatan untuk kamu-kamu yang belum memiliki Maple Waffle, nah kalian bisa coba versi Lip Glazenya yang Spiced Masala. Cantik dan cocok banget buat kalian yang suka lipstik nude coklat gitu.

Claim

A delicious mauve pink shade, Poppy Jam is inspired by the subtly romantic Lavender Cream. The shimmering formula easily suits all skin tones, giving your lips fresh, healthy, kissable look.

Ingredients

Diisostearyl Malate, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Synthetic Wax, Caprylyl Methicone, Polybutene, Isostearyl alcohol, Paraffinum liquidum, Isononyl isononanoate, Glyceryl isostearate, Cyclopentasiloxane, BHT, Cera Microcristallina, Tocopheryl Acetate, Fragrance (Parfum) Components and Finished Fragrances, Dipentaerythrityl Hexahydroxystearate/Hexastearate/Hexarosinate

May contain

CI 15850, CI 77499, CI 77492, CI 77891, CI 77491, CI 42090

Texture

Teksturnya berbeda dengan lip gloss yang umum di pasaran, tidak lengket dan ringan. Malahan lebih ke arah oily tapi tetap nyaman. Walaupun terasa oily, tapi warnanya tetap pigmented dan memiliki hasil glossy yang tidak heboh. Masih cocok untuk daily use karena tidak ada glitter di dalamnya. Kalau kalian mau hasil yang lebih glossy dan memiliki glitter di dalamnya bisa beli yang shade Sparkling Rose. Karena lip glaze dari BLP sangat pigmented, kalian hanya bisa menggunakan Sparkling Rose sebagai pelapis lip tint ataupun lipstik kalian. Dan pastinya kalian tetap harus menggunakan lip scrub kalau bibir kalian terlihat mengelupas karena tidak ada lipstik yang terlihat bagus di atas bibir yang mengelupas.

Scents

Wanginya seperti lipstik Vanilla lainnya dan tidak mengganggu sama sekali untuk yang sensitif. Walaupun dia memiliki sedikit rasa (hampir tidak terasa) saat pemakaian awal tapi hanya sebentar, tidak mengganggu seperti velvet lip tint. 

Pros:

Final Thoughts

4/5

Sangat ringan dan tidak lengket, super pigmented juga. Namun yang Poppy Jam ini menurut aku tidak seperti lip gloss lainnya yang benar-benar heboh dan glittery. Namun di satu sisi, lip gloss ini sangat cocok untuk daily use apalagi untuk kalian yang punya bibir kering. Tapi kalian harus tetap menggunakan lip scrub sebelum memakai lip glaze ini ya dikarenakan kulit terkelupas yang tersisa di bibir bakalan kelihatan jelek kalau tidak di scrub.

Nah menurut kalian bagaimana soal lip glaze ini? Ada yang sudah mencoba juga mungkin shade yang lain? Apakah menurut kalian formulanya sama tiap shade? Silahkan tulis komentar kalian di bawah sini ya, jangan lupa juga untuk rekomen produk terbaru yang mungkin lagi hype dan kalian ingin aku review. Karena sebenarnya aku kurang update dengan produk-produk makeup dan skincare lokal yang oke. Pastinya aku bakalan review produk-produk yang menarik lainnya jadi jangan lupa untuk di follow ya di sebelah kanan page aku. So see you guys at next post :D. 

I haven’t found any mascara that quite works for me and all of the mascara that I bought seems like it doesn’t do anything to my lashes. And you know that mascara can be really hard especially to people who have short and sparse lashes like me. As a result, I always got stain under my eyelash area easily and you know how hard it is to clean them without ruining your makeup.

I do some research first before buying and I found these two benefit’s mascara that is raved by so many beauty gurus. The first one is Benefit They’re Real and the other one is Roller Lash. From what I see, the They’re Real mascara looks clumpy and messy or people can say it’s spidery which I don’t really prefer. On the other hand, the Roller Lash looks natural and less clumpy even though they apply it like two times. So, I bought this mascara from Sephora and hoping to see what they can do to my Asian eyelash.

They sell this mascara for about Rp 370.000,- or 24 US$ that includes 8.5 g/ 0.3 OZ of products inside. Please mind that you shouldn’t use mascara too often since the cleaning part will be quite harmful for your lashes.

Packaging

Well, you know Benefit. They are one from many brand that create the cutest and adorable packaging that you will ever see. I never hate their design and packaging, my collector’s heart wants to collect all if my wallet can buy all of them :(. And by the way, the Roller Lash look cuter than the They’re Real mascara LOL. It is also one of the reason why I pick this mascara. I know you guys also pick makeup and skincare by the packaging also :p.

Claim

It’s a roller for lashes! The eye-opening Hook ‘n’ Roll brush grabs, separates, lifts and curls…while the instant curve-setting formula holds for 12 hours. Contains provitamin B5 and serin, ingredients known for their lash-conditioning benefits. Available in two stunning shades, original ink black or brown.

N° 08408/A

Swatch and Textures

I really really love this mascara! It is not clumpy for maximum two times application, not spidery and volumes my lashes just like how I want it to be. All of my mascara before just doesn’t do anything to my lashes, they don’t look longer and I didn’t see any volume (exclude Maybelline, they have bunch of good ones but I don’t like how spidery they look to me). This mascara though, I can see why people raving so much about it. 

[After - Soo much better :DD]

From the name and claim, you should have already known they are marketed as a curler mascara. It means that they will also curl your lashes without using any lash curler. Sadly, it doesn’t hold curl so much because of my straight lashes. It is because I have monolids which you know, all my lashes are turning straight down to earth. It still holds curl for about 30 minutes I think if I am lucky. Sad isn’t it? Should I buy a heat lashes curler for it to do the magic?

Still, if you got problems like me you can curl your lashes before applying any mascara. I’m lazy though, just because it takes so much time to curl them up! Even though it doesn’t hold curl, it is my lashes problem, not the mascara that is problematic. If you have double eyelids or easy to curl lashes, I bet you can use this easily and the curl will last long because this mascara is waterproof.

The only thing that is unfortunate for me is, I cannot use this for the under eyelash part. The applicator is too big since my eyelash is quite short, it will only stain my skin around them. That’s why I bought another skinny mascara from Innisfree that I only use frequently to do its job.

This roller lash is waterproof and doesn’t smudge at all. Very recommended for you guys who bothered with smudging mascara.

Final Thoughts

4.5/5 

Favorite mascara since it does look voluminous, long and very natural. You can even build it up to make it more voluminous, but you need to be careful since it will clump up after applying more than twice. Still, I love how it looks and it is also waterproof :D, highly recommend if you cannot find any good mascara that doesn’t look spidery.

First of all, healing pimple and reducing the scar takes time and dedication. It won’t be easy but the results are there. My routine consisted of 3 to 4 items (one of them is used if the scar isn’t going to heal anytime soon), here they are:

Innisfree Volcanic Pore Toner

From all of these product, toner is very important for me because they are removing dirt and dirty oil that is staying on your face. I only wash my face twice a day with cleansing foam, but I frequently clean my face and the acne itself with toner (wash your face too much will affect the natural face oil production). "So how do you know how frequently you need to clean up your acne with toner?" I always checked my acne patch every time before I clean them. If the patch already extracted some adequate amount of pus from the pimple itself, I will remove the patch and start to clean it. After cleaning it, I will patch them again and you need to do this until your acne is flatten out (usually it will take 1-2 days for little pimple and 3-4 days for a bigger pimple).

Cosrx Acne/Clear Fit Master Patch

I already explained on how frequently I use the patch and it is not easy and not very cheap either (because I do need a sheet of 18 patches that I will used all up for 2-3 pimples). But, I mean it is quite effective for me after doing this for some time and I’m okay with it.

The other thing that you also need to know is, if you didn’t really need to use makeup then you will need to cover the acne with the patch which is very important. Or, you can use the clear patch which is very thin and suitable under your makeup. Do not let dirt stay or touch your pimple guys.

Just a reminder, this patch is useless if your acne haven't got matured yet. You can use the ampoule until it got matured, then you can use the patch to extract them. There are 2 kind of this patch, the acne and clear fit master patch. Get the one that is more into your liking, I usually get the clear one since i can use them when going outside. But, the acne patch is worth your money since it have 24 patches rather than the clear one which only have 18 patches.

Cosrx Centella Blemish Ampoule

“I already clean my acne with toner and cover it with the acne patch every day. When will I use the ampoule that you mentioned here?” The answer is after your acne has flatten out. If you use any ampoule before using patch, it will disturb the process of the patch extracting the impurities/pus. Try to use the ampoule two times a day after cleansing your face with cleansing foam or soap. You can also use it under your makeup because it is light weight. Do this until your acne scar gone. The patch will not be needed anymore because they won’t help at removing scars from your face.

St. Ives Blemish Control Apricot Scrub

Sometimes the acne scar doesn’t really want to go away and it shows up even though you’re using foundation. I always try to exfoliate using this scrub about once a week. Careful though, it is quite gritty but they do work wonderfully (try to get the mild one if you have sensitive skin). Do not try to scrub when you’re having pimples, they will irritate it much more. It do take time to fade away those big scar from big pimples, but they do work :D.

There, these are the products that I’ve been using for fighting off these pimples and acne scar. Aren’t they quite easy to follow? But, even though you are following my routine, it wouldn’t do anything if you do these things:

Touching your face after doing or touching something dirty

This is the most important point that changes everything for me. I didn’t care of what I was touching when i'm still in high school and I still touch my face after that. But now, it grosses me out whenever I’m touching my pc or my phone that are very dirty and wash my hands or have some hand sanitizer before touching my face. After not touching my face with dirty hands, I rarely got any pimples anymore.

Didn’t drink water that much

Seriously, you’ll need to drink water to cleanse your body. A clean body system will show up on your own face and skin.

Always eat oily foods and not veggies nor fruits

You need to do diet after eating bad foods that are oily and consist of only bad ingredients. I always eat less the day after I eat so much. I also try to drink more tea to help comforting my stomach and detoxing my body.

Didn’t change your bed sheets frequently

It won’t do justice if you’re already taking care of your face so much but you didn’t change the bed sheets. Bed sheets can be as disgusting as a phone and a computer. You’ll need to change them frequently and try to sleep facing upward so your face didn’t touch the sheets.

Lack of sleeping

Everyone knows this, you need to sleep at least 7 hours to let your skin regenerate. It is hard to keep this schedule though nowadays, but try to get more sleep whenever you can, it does helps.

Not moisturizing your face enough

You always need to moisturize your face even if your face oily or too dry. If you’re not moisturizing enough, the sebum production will be a mess.

And that’s it, the holy daily routine that I always do whenever I am having pimples. Try to follow my routine or my tips and I hope that your pimple will go away. This should work from 1 week to 1 month regarding on how you avoiding the points that I already explained and how big is the pimple. I hope this helps and I will try to make these post more. Please do comment down below if you have any idea on what topics should I write next time.

It is sold for Rp 129.000,- same like the other shades and includes of 4 gr of products inside. It also got expired notice for you guys that are worried about them. And did you know? Sociolla is having collaboration with BLP for their third anniversary and BLP releasing one liquid lipstick that is called Peach Soda which I already bought and I’m waiting for it to be delivered. I’m sorry that I will post the review maybe at the middle of April because I will go to Taiwan for 8 days starting from tomorrow. That’s why do not forget to follow my blog to get notification on that BLP’s Peach Soda review. Now, if you are curious how this lipstick swatch and how it looks like, do not go anywhere and keep reading :D.

I also like to know your opinion on how should I write my blog? Should I write it in English or Bahasa for local products? Since I know some products didn’t sell it to people internationally like BLP. Would it be better and easier if I write it in Bahasa only? Please put down your opinion in comments down below since it will be very helpful for me to review local products, thank you <3.

Packaging

BLP is one of my favorite local brand because they always have good design packaging and good quality products. Their new packaging looks sleek, expensive and just better than her first formula release. Both of these shades have the same bottle, only the boxes that are different because Caramel Champagne is a limited edition shade. I hope their new limited edition shade will be great like this one also.

Claims

A shade for celebration and festivity, Caramel Champagne in mauve pink with reddish undertone and glittery accents is back to bring out your inner sparkle. This versatile color can take any look from day to night in an instant.

Ingredients

Isododecane, Castor (Ricinus Communis) Oil, Ozokerite, Beeswax, Dextrin Palmitate, Flavor, Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate, Silica, Phenoxyethanol, Squalane, VP/Hexadecene Copolymer, Octyldodecanol, BHT, Tocopheryl Acetate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Methicone, Aluminum Hydroxide, Isopropyl Titanium Triisostearate, Methicone Copolymer

May Contain:

CI 77019, CI 77491, CI 77891, CI 77120, CI 77489, CI 77007, CI 77492, CI 77499, CI 75470, CI 77510

Swatch and Textures

First of all, I think that there is something different in the formula of this shade compared to the others. It is quick to dry and not taking longer time like the other shade. Both formulas aren’t smudge proof and waterproof, but the pigment stay there. They also aren’t kiss proof, so you will find kiss mark on your cups or glass sadly. Even though it is quite quick to dry, you still can use it as a liquid eyeshadow just fine. I have seen so many beauty blogger and vlogger use it as eyeshadow and they look pretty.

(Comparison - The upper one is Caramel Champagne and the bottom one is Maple Waffle)

The liquid lipstick feels very comfortable and I do not feel any stickiness at all. It is also not cracking which is a plus point, because who wants to see cracks on their shimmery lipstick? It is the worst nightmare. Even though it is not cracking, I’m still suggesting you to scrub or applying lip mask before using this lipstick. The shimmers will accentuate some of your lip texture and it will not look good if your lips are flaky. Beware, it will fade in areas where you are eating something hearty. Any drinks will be okay though.

So, if you’re trying to find a totally matte liquid lipstick that won’t mess anything, maybe BLP wouldn’t be a good choice for you. But, if you’d like a comfortable liquid lipstick, it is a good option because it doesn’t turn completely matte. It is also easy to remove on one swipe, but there will be some residue of the shimmer/glitters left. It is okay for me since I love how it is very easy to clean them and reapply after eating.

The shade also looks good for daily look if you want to use them, both as day or night eyeshadow and lipstick. For me though, I don’t really like it as an eyeshadow because it is a bit too dark for my liking now. Maybe I will try them someday when I feel adventurous, and maybe that someday will be soon enough. So, they are also good for travel because you can use BLP’s liquid lipstick as eyeshadow too like Rollover Reaction. Too bad I haven’t tried any products from Rollover Reaction. People always said that they are good, should I buy some too? L

Scents

It is much stronger than how the Maple Waffle’s scent. Maple Waffle got this light vanilla scent like Vanilla sponge cakes or ice cream. The Caramel Champagne on the other hand is so much sweeter and got heavier Vanilla’s scent, it just smells like heavy vanilla buttercream cake. Am I crazy? I really can smell some buttercream or something else there and it is not only Vanilla.

But, if you are quite sensitive on heavy scented product especially when it is really sweet, it will annoy you when you are applying it for the first time. After it dries, it won’t smell that strong anymore.

Final Thoughts

I am in love with this shade and the texture. It is very comfortable and very easy to use considering that this is a shimmery liquid lipstick. I love how it still looks good even for daily use, you only need to be a bit more daring and anyone can kill this look. It looked even better in important events like wedding party or any party that you can think off. And even more, every skin tone would look good using this lipstick <3.

I recommend you this lipstick if you want to try shimmery liquid lipstick. Because it is not messy, easy to apply, very beginner friendly and not easy to fade. Seriously, try this shade if you haven’t!

Thanks for reading my review and do not forget to follow me and read other reviews if you’d like. I will try to post more and I hope my review is helping you guys before buying anything :D. Anyway, have a good day and see you at next post, XOXO!
