Getting into the beauty groove is more fun than I thought it would be. I’m actually enjoying trying new products from Sample Room, the latest being the Colour Collection Ultimate Wear Lipstick in Angelic.

This is a better shade for me as it matches my skin tone and personality better. I still find that its lasting effect is up to about 3 hours. This lipstick seemed to have a very pleasant smell which I didn’t notice with Colour Collection Bellissima.

Plus points for its having moisturizer and being compact and slim.

Now that I have these two shades, I have a shade for casual and fancy. I keep it simple and as where most girls have a shade for every moment of their life it seems I’ll stick to these for now. Maybe in the near future I’ll try more shades and even get adventurous going for those bloody reds.

Aside from mascara lipstick is the other beauty product that I’m hesitant to use. One is that I don’t like the certain taste that lipstick has and the other is that you have to constantly check if you still have some and to be honest I don’t look in the mirror as often as I should.

Lately however, I’ve started to take my beauty routine seriously and so when I had the opportunity to review lipstick from Colour Collection at Sample Room I went ahead and tried it.

I learned a little something from Kianna about lipstick so I chose a color that I thought would go well with my complexion. Having to choose between the shades was a little tricky. They were all so pretty but I knew I wanted something soft and light.

I chose Bellissima, a lively coral shade because I love that word and the color seemed light enough for me. It also goes with my personality, not too loud and blends in well.

This line of lipstick from Colour Collections offers lasting color for up to 8 hours. I tried the lipstick and it lasted for about 3 on my lips. I’m not sure if it’s because I was constantly licking my lips (no dreaded “lipstick taste” ) or it’s because I had attended a cooking class that day! I like that it has moisturizer and was compact and slim. Very easy to bring with me anywhere.

Sample Room has plenty of H₂O products to offer for review. I was excited to try them but as I hadn’t accumulated many points yet I could only get my hands on the Aqualibrium Marine Cleansing Gel.

I’m not a big believer in trying different products on your face simultaneously but I couldn’t pass up the chance to try an H₂O product.

H₂O is known for its use of the marine ecosystem to acquire the elements used for their product line. The Aqualibrium Marine Cleansing Gel is an oil free cleanser that removes make up and impurities.

The key elements of this cleansing gel are Microencapsulated Softening Beads which removes dull cells and softens your skin, Accacia which helps soothe irritated skin, and a Hydrating Marine Blend, a triple-powered synthesis of marine botanicals (Wakame, Sea Fennel, and Sea Lettuce) that optimizes your skin’s moisture balance while bolstering free radical resistance. The Sea Salt gives you a youthful glow.

It’s very easy to use, pleasant smelling and non sticky. After application leaves you with a refreshed feeling.

I’m looking forward to trying their other products soon!
