Imagine my excitement when I heard about their re-branding (sort of) and launching of their new product: The Careline Kiss Sticks! If you wanna know my thoughts about all of these products, just keep on reading! 🙂

Let’s start with the Kiss Sticks recently launched together with their new TV Commercial feat. the young actress, Andrea Brillantes. Click here to watch.

Careline Kiss Sticks – P175

It comes in 12 shades. It’s matte, retractable and has a built in sharpener! I got four shades: Vacay, Pinch, Martian and Native.

Built-in sharpener

It weighs 1.3 grams which is a pretty good amount!

Here are the swatches:

Thoughts: I loooove it so much! It is pigmented and has good color payoff. It is matte but it’s creamy and non-drying! It is easy to apply and it glides on your lips well. Pinch and vacay are my faves among the four. It compliments my Filipina skin tone. Native is a nice shade too but I’m not into red-ish shades. The shade martian is not for every day use but I can see myself wearing it on an event in the future so still keeping it! Haha. The only downside is that it transfers so for sure, it will be gone after eating. But we can re-apply right? It only takes a minute or two! 🙂 And oh! Did I mention already? It has a sweet fruity scent. Uhh so gooood!

Rating: 4.5/5

Matte Liquid Lipstick and Melted Metallic Lipstick – P210 each

Thoughts: I am impressed! Both are easy to apply, glides easily. But, both are not that pigmented so a second coat must be applied to cover the original color of lips. They are transfer-proof which I like. I love topping them off with the lip gloss for some oomph! It’s my first time to try metallic lipstick and I love the vibes it gives to the look! The downside is they tend to be drying so make sure to apply lip balm before them. I also didn’t like the shade of matte liquid lipstick I got but I’m looking forward to try other shades! It doesn’t have a sweet smell like the kiss sticks and doesn’t have a chemical smell either so it’s fine. For an affordable price, I think it does its job well! 🙂

Rating for both: 3.5/5

Extra Shine Lipgloss – P85

Lip Balm: P60

Thoughts: These two are my OG makeup faves when I was just starting to venture into makeup. I love putting lipgloss on top of my matte and metallic lipstick when I’m feeling extra. Lip balm is nice too. I use it everytime before applying my lipstick or liptint. Both have a sweet scent! ❤ Most affordable lip gloss and lip balm I knew.

Rating: 5/5 for both

Oil Control Blush-on – P100

Thoughts: It comes with a sponge but I can’t blend the product evenly using it. It is best used with a brush. Tje shade that I got, the Starlight Shine, is a dark burnt coral shade. I don’t like how it looks on my cheeks cause it makes me look haggard. But I’m willing to try other shades, probably the lighter ones. It has a nice pigmentation and it is not chalky. At the middle of the day, it starts to fade so re-application is needed. It doesn’t have a sweet scent nor foul smell. For a price of 100 pesos, it has a good amount of product of 3.5 grams.

Rating: 3/5

Go Big! Mascara – P185

Thoughts: Another impressive latest product of Careline is this Go Big! Masacara. When it comes to mascara, I’m looking for that doesn’t clump, gives enough volume, and holds my lashes up for a long period of time. All of these criteria was met by this mascara. Imagine for less than 200 pesos, yoy can get a decent mascara. I also love the unique design of the brush. The only downside is it’s not waterproof. So make sure to use a special makeup remover intended use for the eyes to cleanse it thoroughly and doesn’t give you a panda eyes the bext morning because of excess product that weren’t removed.
