I am fond of things that are "ALL-IN-ONE" type or multipurpose. They save space, practical, worth the money, handy, and multifunctional. My mom knows this and this is what I got from her last Christmas---one of Natasha Beauty's latest product, Lip Palette - Precious Lips.
Let me give you the details why I love this sooooooooo much!

Natasha Beauty Lip Palette- Precious Lips is one of the two lip palettes launched on their December 2012 Catalogue. Natasha combined all their bestseller lip colors in 2 palettes--- Precious Lips and Tempting Pout.

| Natasha Precious Lips and Tempting Pout Palettes for comparison |
PROS: I prefer this palette compared to Tempting Pout, because I like to have a tangerine, red, fuschia, candy pink, peach, and light pink lip colors that suit my skin color. Just imagine buying all these lip colors individually that may cost Php150.00 and up depending on the brand. This is very impractical for moms like me who prioritize family expenses rather than personal wants and needs.
For Php 270.00 (paid by my mom of course), I am able to get six lip colors in one instead of one or two individual lip colors only. I also like its size. It's only 4" x 2.5"x 0.5" that makes it very sleek and small that can fit a cute purse even a small pocket. It weighs only 5.8 g that makes it very light. It has two small lip brushes that I use one for the lighter shade, and the other one for the dark shades. They are like professional lip brushes. They are not too soft nor hard. The tips are pointed that they can perfectly spread and line my lips with lip color. The packaging has no mirror but if I am in a well-lighted room, I can see my reflection on it's cover just like I am in front of the mirror. All shades are highly pigmented and true enough, they fit my fair skin. A small amount of lip color is enough to cover my entire lips. I can even mix and match the colors to create a new color. They also stay longer on my lips and I don't have to retouch often. It has the right shine that gives glow to my lips. They are non-greasy too.

Lip colors in this palette may be used as substitutes to the following:

CANDY LUSH- Mac Cremesheen Lipstick Creme Cup; Revlon Wink for Pink
MELLOW PINK- Any peach or very light pink tinted lip balm
CONS: For those who have very dry lips like me, putting lip balm 30 minutes before applying any of these lip colors is a must to maintain the lips' moisture much longer. The lip colors tend to dry fast on my lips or become matte finish if I don't do this. Why 30 minutes before? It is due to clumping of the lip color when you immediately put it on right after applying lip balm. The lips should be able to absorb the lip balm first to avoid this. The lip color may serve as the sealant to lock in moisture.
Pros outweigh the cons! This is highly recommended especially to those women who want to try wearing different lip colors while on a budget. This is another proof that buying cheaper and affordable brands doesn't mean getting less quality.
