Nature Republic Bebe Mango Lip Concealer Review

Hi, dear readers^^

This time I present u my short review about : Nature Republic Bebe Mango Lip Concealer.

I took the pic from the official site

Actually I was looking for Etude House Lip Concealer when I walked in front of Nature Republic counter.
I read many reviews out there about how useful a lip concealer can be. Girls who have pigmented lips like me can wear any lipstick they want.

Etude lip concealer is still not yet available on their counter in Indonesia and I’m not the type of patient person who’s willing to wait for buying via PO. So I bought this instead.

There is sticker label attached on the plastic seal. The sticker label is made of paper in nude pastel colour (near the package colour) with white fonts printed on it. Manufactured and expired date printed on it too.

Product Information on the seal label (some written in Indonesia)

The back label

This is how it looks. The stick has nude colour.

I smell mango scent from this product. The texture is quite creamy and moisturizing. I suggest u clean or scrub ur lips first to remove dead cell on the surface prior to using this coz this concealer won’t work well on dry flaky lips.

This concealer has cream pastel nude color in the package but I can see some whitish nude color when swatched on my lips.

Twist the package to get the product out. Just like most lip product, this can be twisted backwards.

I have Wardah Exclusive Lipstick in Mango color. My problem with Wardah Exclusive Lipstick is their formula tends to clot when applied on my lips (Ind : cenderung menggumpal ketika diaplikasikan ke permukaan bibir). I don’t know if this happens because my lips surface is not smooth enough to deal with this lipstick or the formula in it. But if I apply this concealer under my wardah exclusive lipstick, the finish looks smooth and well blended on my lips. And also this concealer could make my lipstick stays longer. So in this case, I can say that this product is helpful.

I must remind u not to apply too much product on ur lips or the whitish colour of it will ruin the color of ur lipstick.

These are the pics I borrowed from the website

 

The packaging of this product (cap opened)

This is the picture of another lip care product from Nature Republic

I have tried to put it under my Etude Dear Darling Aloha Lip Tint no.4 Orange and I found it’s troublesome to apply the Etude Lip tint on top of this concealer. And then I could see that the finish of my Etude lip tint looks so horrible on top of this concealer. Seems like their formula just won’t fit each other.

I’m sorry I can’t provide swatches pics of this product since I haven’t got my self a decent camera.

Now, let’s jump into my conclusion.

 Another pic I borrowed from the website

Pros :

-Good coverage for pigmented lips

- Quite moisturizing in my opinion, I can skip lipbalm

- Makes ur lipstick stays longer

- Makes the appearance on ur lipstick swatch smoother

Cons :

- Cannot work well with my Etude Lip tint, the formulas just won't blend

- Sink into lines and can’t cover my cracked lips

- The coverage is not buildable

- Does not stay attached on lips after application but it’ll run along the direction u apply ur lipstick

- Make ur lipstick color appear lighter than the actual color

- Quite thick and ‘heavy’ on lips

Repurchase? No. I wouldn’t say that this was a mistake for me buying this product but it just did not work as I expected.

Who may like this?

- Want a moisturizing and creamy lip concealer

- Want a product to make ur lipsticks stay longer on ur lips

- Like the mango scent

Who may not like this?

- like unscented product

- don’t like the thickness and the texture of this product

- need a concealer that can stay on lips and blend with any lip colour product

(the formula won’t blend with my etude lip tint)

Lately I found that lip liner which has the nearest color to my lips can be used as concealer too. Just make sure to pick the longwearing one. Lip liner is lighter in texture than this product.

How about u? Have something in mind u want to suggest me? I’d love to read ur comments^^

Writer’s Spin Off :

My Ied holiday is over and I finally come back to the real life (so I consider my vacation days are not my real life ho ho…) It’s like having a jet lag when u have to do ur routine activity after having so much peaceful holiday. For me, I feel kinda like falling down from heaven to earth ha ha… (did I just too hyperbolic).

But however, I did learn things from my Ied vacation. I realized many things about my self and I learned how to be more relax in doing my daily activities. I have to balance my own life and I need to be more calm down and low profile person. I have realized that happiness is the key for a healthy and well preserved body. Each one of us has different preferences/hobby that can make us feel happy. So do good things for ur self everyday and stay happy^^

I do realize that my review is still lack of many things, my English is not good too (I’m still learning). So feel free to drop ur correction if u find any wrong grammar on my writing.

For all my readers, considering we’re still in Idul Fitri moment so I want to say Minal Aidin Wal Faidzin, please forgive me if I ever said or did something unpleasant regarding my activity as blogger.

Thank U for reading my post^^
