"Are you ready, kids?" It's time to dive into the colorful depths of Bikini Bottom once again with Careline’s third installment of their massive SpongeBob collaboration! This collection is like a day at the Krusty Krab - full of surprises and delightful treats, but for your makeup bag. Whether you're a die-hard SpongeBob fan or just adore playful makeup, this lineup is sure to bring a splash of fun to your daily routine. So, grab your jellyfishing net and let's explore! Here's a rundown of the new products in this latest batch, along with my personal take on each one. And yes, I've included swatch photos for a closer look.
Oh, Puh-Lips Lip Oil (P325)
This range is an actual lip oil, with a mineral oil base so you’re sure to get that moisturizing boost. The Oh, Puh-Lips Lip Oils are not just about nourishing your lips with a rich yet non-sticky formula; they pack a LOT of color too. They can definitely be used on their own without needing to layer other products like lip liner or lipstick to get that color. There are five ultra glossy shades: Pink Star, Fancy Date, Pretty Plum, Chocolate Bar, and Jellyfish Jam which offer a lot of variety. You can’t go wrong with Jellyfish Jam and Chocolate Bar! I highly recommend this to those with drier lips.
Best Blush Ever Powder Blush (P250 / 2.25g)
Now, who doesn't love a good blush? The Best Blush Ever Powder Blushes are true to their name. With a soft, blendable texture, these blushes are perfect for achieving that natural, just-pinched look. Just note that these are pigmented so a tiny amount goes a long way! Always start with a light hand and then build from there. Two shades (Meow Love and Money Money) are matte while the other two (Imagination and Wumbo) have a bit of shimmer. Both finishes look great on skin as they deliver a flush-from-within color! They’re also super long wearing. I’ve worn these for up to six hours and they still look great!
Imagination Palette Eyeshadow (P395 / 7.25g)
Surprise - there are two eyeshaow palettes too! Truly, not enough Filipino brands release eyeshadow palettes so this one is a treat. There are two palettes available: Nude Beach, which has neutral shades for that nude everyday look, and Pink Shore, which has a selection of super intense bright pinks. Both palettes have a good level of pigmentation as you can see in the swatches, though I’d have to say that Pink Shore is especially saturated. Get it if you love colorful eye looks.
Sea Rum Swoosh Water Tint (P325 / 4ml)
For a long-lasting, lightweight lip color, the Sea Rum Swoosh Water Tints are a fantastic choice. These water-based tints offer a natural, stain-like finish that lasts for hours, perfect for those long days when you need your lip color to stay put. They're also incredibly comfortable to wear, which is a huge plus. They don’t feel drying on my lips. They’re also not patchy at all! They can go neon when applied to full opacity so I recommend just dabbing a little bit to get that nice stain.
Dream Cream Tint Lip Cream (P325)
The Dream Cream Tint Lip Creams are all about a creamy, silky formula that glides on the lips effortlessly. They offer a more opaque coverage compared to the lip oils and glosses in this collab and have a satiny finish, perfect for those who prefer a more solid, traditional lip formula. The shades in this range are quite wearable, although I wish they were a bit brighter and more varied.
Tinted Spongegloss Lip Gloss (P325)
Lastly, the Tinted Spongegloss Lip Glosses are a must-try for gloss lovers. These are not just your ordinary glosses; they offer a beautiful tint of color along with that glossy sheen. They're great for layering over other lip products or wearing alone for a natural look. These are surprisingly extremely lightweight, actually more of what I’d expect from a serum tint. I’d recommend this if you love lighter textures on your lips with a bit of hydration.
Each product in this collection not only pays homage to the whimsical world of SpongeBob SquarePants but also offers quality and versatility. Whether you're a makeup enthusiast or a SpongeBob fan (or both!), this collection has something to add fun and flair to your makeup routine.
