What are you feeling today?

Update - NYX products can now be bought at Colours Cosmetics if you are from Malaysia and Singapore!

Is it moody?

Is it happy?

Is it sad?

Is it disappointed?

Or maybe... I quote from Jackie Chan from The Tuxedo, "This is constipated look!"

LOLX!

Whatever that you are feeling today, hopefully all of you are healthy.

Today, I'm gonna be a little more lame than usual... Since our moods vary from time to time, in order to hide those mood swings, girls, we are lucky because we have lipsticks of different shades to give different moods to those who are looking at us.

I'll be showing you one pretty neutral eye make-up that will basically go with or without glasses.


It can even go with any dresses or occasions depending if you wanna dress it up or down.

What I did to the eyes was just to apply generous amount of Lancôme Hypnose Waterproof Mascara. Seriously, this mascara is GOOD! I like my Maybelline Pulse Perfection so, so much but since it is a limited edition mascara, I don't think I can get more of them. I'm almost done using my third Pulse Perfection and honestly, I am sad but well... until I discover Lancôme Hypnose Waterproof Mascara! Shall rant about it in another entry soon!

Anyway, we were talking about different lipsticks and lipglosses of different shades today. Can different lip colours give different moods?

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!


First, I brushed and moisturised my lips for better and smooth application.

Then, I picked 6 of my favourite lips' products as below.


From drugstore to high-end lipsticks... I guess every girl has that, right? It's just personal preferences.

If you wanna know the names of the lipsticks, here goes...


I will list them down for you just in case you can't see it clearly in the picture above. The names of the lipsticks and lipglosses will go by number from left to right.

  1. Stage Wondergloss Lipgloss in Persephone
  2. NYX Round Lipgloss in Ballerine Pink
  3. NYX Round Lipgloss in Whipped
  4. NYX Ronud Lipstick in Honey
  5. Lancôme L'Absolu Rouge in #6
  6. Christian Dior Voyage Collection Lipstick in  #255

So, they basically go from opaque nude to nude to pink to very red.

Here are several pictures of the different lipsticks and lipglosses on my lips. Please do not quote me for anything I have mentioned above because the shades that I like may not be the same shades that you like.


Stage Wondergloss Lipgloss in Persephone is basically a red lipgloss. It is very pigmented so you might wanna go easy on it. I'd say, I love this red shade because it is suitable for dinners, glamorous events or even well, Christmas! Have I told you how much I love Christmas? MOOD - ROMANTIC.

NYX Round Lipgloss in Ballerina Pink is basically near to the shocking shade of pink if you look at it from the packaging but once applied on your lips, it gives you the girl-next-door look. Seriously, you can never go wrong with this shade. I'd say it is suitable for your girls' day out with your best girlfriends MOOD - SWEET.

NYX Round Lipgloss in Whipped is kinda a peachy nude shade which goes really well with smokey eyes. If you wanna play it down, it goes well with neutral eyes. The shade doesn't show up much but it does give you a more plumped lips in pictures and all. Well, this shade is pretty much wearable to all the occasions without have you screaming, "Look at me!" MOOD - LAY-BACK.

NYX Round Lipstick in Honey is well... you can see in the picture - opaque nude which may turn out looking scary especially if you have darker skin tone. It looks scary even on my skin tone. I don't think this is the shade you should be wearing on it's own. Instead, it would be better if you wear it with a pinkish lipgloss or if you wanna neutralize your lips' colours, try this shade, then, apply another lipstick on the top! MOOD - NEUTRAL.

Lancôme L'Absolu Rouge in #6 is a free gift I've gotten when I purchased my Lancôme Hypnose Waterproof Mascara. This lipstick is one of the best long-lasting lipstick ever! I wore it for an interview the other day at Singapore, in which, I sweated terribly because I was wearing high heels and my blazer while walking under the sun. The shade is something like rosey pink and it is quite neutral. You cannot go wrong with this shade too - formal occasions, dinners, celebrations or simply anything! This is a go-to lipstick for me! MOOD - HAPPY.

Christian Dior Voyage Collection Lipstick in #255 is a gift from my aunt few years back and yeah, I know it is yucky but well... it smells good and why waste if it's still in good condition? Initially, I was feeling so sad that I had to use it because I know for sure I won't be able to get more of these babies since they are limited edition. This shade is something like sweet baby pink and if you're into all cutesy stuffs, this may be the shade for you! It goes well with any eye make-up giving it a touch of sweetness and demureness. LOLX! MOOD - INNOCENT.

So, what do you think?

Do all the different shades of lipsticks you have give different moods for different occasions?

Sorry, no picture of constipated look though!

TGIF, people!

Stage After Party Calming Makeup Remover

You know know how obsessed I am with my Bioré Makeup Remover, right? I'm almost done with my first bottle and gonna purchase the second one real soon! Oh, I can't wait for more cosmetic hauls! I've been refraining myself from even talking about it for more than half year!

*proud of myself*

Besides my Bioré Makeup Remover, I do have other makeup removers in possession but due to having too many products, like always, I end up forgetting I have them. Girls will always be girls...

Anyway, as I was ransacking stupid sister's collection of makeup removers, I found this - Stage After Party Calming Makeup Remover.


That is a pretty hefty name for a makeup remover. If I ever own my line of makeup products, I'll name the makeup remover, Strip it!

LOLX!

Okay, what is this calming makeup remover about?

According to the BCs, this makeup remover comes with calming effect especially after partying through the night. I believe there is aromatherapy goodness incorporated to it because it does smell good, something like lavender or rose. I am bad at describing smells.


Anyway, it doesn't matter.

I thought the packaging of this product does look quite posh - take a look at the picture below!


When you get the product out of the black box, you'll see two separated layers in the bottle. I'm not sure if they are oil and water or whatsoever but you've gotta shake until the two layers mix before using it.

The bottle, although is made out of plastic, but it is a damn-solid plastic! LOLX! I tried squeezing it but the shape wouldn't budge at all! Magic! Hahaha.

Oh, this is how the cap and opening looks like.


Honestly, I don't like the opening at all. You're supposed to press downwards until the cap pops up.

I got annoyed with the cap upon my first encounter with it. I have the this feeling that the product is gonna spill everytime I touch it.

Perhaps I am just paranoid.

Okay, let's look at it's effectiveness despite having nice aromatherapy smell to it.

This was what I wore on my face on the day I first used the makeup remover.


Bright purple and light brown on the crease together with layers and layers of waterproof mascara!

I love trying out makeup removers on my eye makeup to test it's effectiveness. So, what you have to do is soak the cotton pad filled with the makeup remover on your eyes for a few minutes to let the makeup dissolve.

Behold... this is what I get...


Looks promising because of the smell and also the amount of makeup it removed!

So, I happily walked over to my dressing table and to my horror... I saw this...


Mascara stains on my eyebags!

OMG... I actually hate stains like these especially when I expect the product to work well.

I have issues with something like this!

I prefer makeup removers to completely remove all the makeup, especially on the eyes but no, they cannot leave stains anywhere near my eyes!

At the end of the day, I guess this might not be the best makeup remover after all. Yes, it does remove your makeup but not all.

Pros
Nice fragrance with posh presentation. Solid packaging.

Cons
Cap isn't up to my expectation. Leaves mascara stains on your eyebags. Needs more product to remove waterproof makeup.

Price - Not sure but I got mine for RM25 only

Stage Photo Pro Foundation

 Okay, my bad, my bad... I guess I haven't really been discussing about beauty products, health or fashion lately. Yes, too many things happened and believe me, given a choice, I really don't want to be myself either. Maybe I will choose to become Kim Kardashian or maybe Fan Bing Bing.

Oh, you don't know who Fan Bing Bing is?

Well... if you're familiar with L'Oreal, she's the ambassador.


A true Asian beauty and I get jealous over it... I guess in this case, we girls are eligible to drool over her beauty, right?

Anyway, craps aside because I can never be her so, I have to face reality as of now.

Reality as in... bah...


No perfect skin... Look at my dark circles, wrinkles, pimple scars as well as uneven skintone... yucks... so not appetizing. Most of the times, I would let my hair down and wear a glasses to hide all my imperfections. What to do? I did not started out taking care of my skin when I was younger. Hence, Imma gonna teach my kids the proper way of skincare if I ever have any. LOLX!

Anyway, I'm gonna share my two-cent on Stage Photo Pro Foundation.

This product has been around for quite some time. Yes, it is available at Stage Cosmetics, Midvalley. The packaging looks something like the picture below.


Nothing spectacular because it is very MAC look-a-like in black. When you 'undress' the box, you'll get a squeeze tube foundation containing 30ml worth of product.


The time when I bought this foundation, I was a shade fairer. Due to to my hectic life and having to be on the go most of the times, I grew darker. FML... darker is not always a good thing!

The shade I had gotten was 04 Take 3, which in the Picture Perfect Foundation series, it is equivalent to the shade, Doll.


For your information, if you're a newbie to Stage Cosmetics, Photo Pro Foundation is meant for those with oily skin whereas the Picture Perfect Foundation is for those with dry skin. If you are unsure of which to get, you can always ask the beauty advisers. I'm sure they'll assist you because for me, I did and I got to know a wonderful BA cum friend, Charmaine. If you're looking for Charmaine, I am so sorry because she is not working for Stage Cosmetics any longer. She switched to another company.

Upon opening the cap, you can see that the opening of the tube is sealed with a layer of aluminium to avoid leakage as well as for hygiene purposes.


The foundation itself is quite runny. Yeah, runny is the right word. The word next to it should be liquidy but be careful not to be over generous with the application or else you'll end up looking like a pontianak! Hahaha...

~ Runny, liquidy foundation ~

After I squeezed out a small amount of the foundation, it flowed like mad because of the texture. Just take a look at the picture above. My advice is to be extra careful while squeezing it out. I'm sure you wouldn't want to waste the product.

The only downside of this packaging is that since the product is quite runny, this packaging doesn't do any justice especially if you're gonna be travelling with it. It tends to get messy after quite some time.


04 Take 3 when blended onto the back of my hand seemed to disappear. This is a good news to indicate that the shade matched the skin tone on the back of my hand.

Since the texture of the foundation is too liquidy and runny, I will advice you to use a stippling brush or sponge for application to create less mess.


For me, the only stippling brush in my possession is ELF Powder Brush. LOLX! Yeah, powder brush but I use it as stippling brush instead.

Life is all about breaking the rules and to be different.

Another reason is that application is quite easy with a stippling brush since the texture of the product is quite runny. You don't need to drag the product across your face like mad so, less worries on tugging on your precious skin.


I've told you earlier in this entry that I've grown a shade darker than my initial shade so... this foundation looks a little bit off for me.


All in all, it covered my uneven skin tone quite well. Broken capillaries around the nose were gone. Pimple scars could not be seen, wrinkles and dark circles diminished!

Since the foundation is a shade fairer, I had to contour my face. I worn it for 3 to 4 hours during application days and surprisingly, it worked quite well. Minimal greasiness and as long as you don't go and rub your face, the foundation will stay put.

Pros
Medium to full coverage depending on the amount of foundation you use. Easy and smooth application. Product lasts probably 5 to 6 hours.

Cons
Tube-style packaging is not good due to it's runny texture. Difficult to get for those staying out of KL since a lot of Stage outlets have closed down over the last few months.

Stage Picture Perfect Liquid Camouflage

Update - I freaking HATE blogger even more now - why does it keep on re-adjusting my picture when I want it horizontally, it automatically adjusted it to fit in vertical mode? Fucking hate it! I tried re-uploading but it didn't help at all!

Okay, first thing first... I was really busy doing some Christmas shopping for the past few days because, yay... I am done with my thesis and after some editing here and there, Imma gonna be free for the rest of my life! So... I spent my weekend doing some shopping, hence, the MIA from cyberworld.

Anyway, perhaps, I am the last to find out but, two months ago or so, when I went out for a shopping trip withe stupid sister, I found out L'oreal Base Magique is already retailing at our local drugstores like Watson, Guardian and Sasa.


I intended to try this one but since I still have my Monistat Chafing Relief Gel and left with half tube of it, I won't be purchasing any primer any time soon.

Another product that is being raved by a lot of beauty bloggers, vloggers, bla, bla, bla... Maybelline The Falsies Volum' Express Mascara.


I don't know if I'm gonna try out this mascara or not because my ultimate HG mascara, Maybelline Pulse Perfection is no longer available as it is a limited edition mascara. FML... how am I gonna survive without it? Perhaps, The Falsies will be my next alternative. We'll see, we'll see.

So, for today, I'm gonna do a quick review of what I think about Stage Picture Perfect Liquid Camouflage.


Before I even got interested with this concealer, I was into any sorta cream concealer because I need heavy camouflage around my dark circles since they are hideous and liquid concealers for me, can never do any justice.

Stupid sister got one of these earlier and out of curiosity, I tried it out and well... decided to love it, hence, I went to Stage to purchase two of them, of course from different shades because well... you know, girls can never get enough of makeup and I love experimenting with new stuffs!


These are the two shades I've bought - Ingenue Genie and Temptress.

Lemme try to describe both of these shades. Ingenue Genie for me, has yellow undertone to it. It is slightly more yellowish and darker if compared to Temptress. As for Temptress, it has more pinkish undertone to it - it looks lighter and pinker. LOLX!


I wanted to mix both of the shades but since I forgot, ah well... you'll just have to bear with me because I'm gonna do a simple comparison between these two shades.

~ See, did I tell you not, I freaking hate blogspot? ~

Upon blending these two shades of concealer onto the back of my hand, I found out Temptress actually melted into my skin tone and boohoo... no trace found. It's a good thing if you foundation works like that but if you have dark circles, its not a good thing.

As for Ingenue Genie - it looked way darker! I thought to myself, "Shit, this stuff is gonna make my dark circles look more obvious!!!"

I was wrong...


It ended up Temptress did nothing to cover my dark under eye circles but Ingenue Genie actually camouflaged it pretty well!

As for the blendability if you're asking me - this stuff works like dream to blend with. It melts into your skin like butter and it's not oily at all - I didn't even use mattifying powder or anything to set it, yet it did not set on my fine lines!

So, I guess I'll be going back for this concealer soon just because I freaking love it and since I'm gonna use up my Maybelline Angel Fit Concealer soon, I'm obliged to prep myself for the use of this concealer. Hahaha.

On the other hand, this product is NOT magic, so, don't expect too much if you have worse under eye circles than mine. Cream concealers would be a better alternative though but if you just wanna cover a little bit of your imperfections here and there with a natural and lighter coverage, this product is good.

Check out Isabel's review on this concealer here.

Pros
Blends like a dream - easy to work with. Coverage is light to medium depending on how much you want it but for a natural look, a little goes a long way.

Cons
Packaging sucks a bit. Since the formula for this concealer is more of liquidy form, if you don't store your concealer upside down, the content is gonna spill like crazy when you open the cap!

Those are my two cents but please don't quote me for anything. What works for me may not work for you. Hence, you've gotta experience with it first.

Price - RM55 but I got it for buy 2 at RM20
Product - 4 out of 5
Packaging - 3 out of 5
Availability - Stage Cosmetics @ Midvalley or Tropicana City Mall
Re-purchase - Yes, yes, yes!!!

Have you tried this concealer yet?

** Product is bought using my own moo-lah, I am not sponsored or anything.

Stage Cosmetics Holiday Look

You know what?

Stage Cosmetics should really sponsor me because I am doing this look using like 99% of the products from Stage. Hands down that Stage Cosmetics is one of my favourite makeup brands ever because their products are wonderful and best of all - affordable!

So, for this Christmas this year, this is the look I will be going for - bet I would be able to attract few attention in the church this year. Haha.

These are basically the products I've used.


Yes, I've used majority of the makeup products from Stage Cosmetics.

My plan is to do a neutral not-so-attention-seeking smokey brown eyes because I am planning to go for BOLD red lips. Okay, maybe just red without the bold word. LOLX!

On usual days, I always do my foundation and concealer routine before applying eye makeup unless I am going for all glittery glitters, then, foundation and concealer will come last. These are my HG face routine products.


Stage Picture Perfect Foundation in Doll
Stage Photo Pro Creme Camouflage
Stage Prime Time Eye Perfecting Base

After those liquidy liquid product, I will set the foundation and concealer with my favourite pressed powder from Clinique - well, not shown here.

The next step is to do my ugly and unruly eyebrows using Stage Eyebrow Pencil in Sesame.


After the brows, I will proceed to the eyeshadows. So, from what you can see in the first picture, I am only using 3 different colours.


Canary as the highlight and also to apply this on the inner half of the lids. I love canary. It isn't exactly a white shade but it has this tinge of yellowish finish to it.

The second shade is Bahamas which is a medium taupey shimmery brown.


I apply this shade on the outer lids of my eyes bringing it towards my crease to give an uummph effect.

The final shade is Espresso, which is like 2 to 3 shades darker than Bahamas - matte brown.


Espresso is used to darken the outer V for a more defined and dramatic look. I don't wanna be the center of attention for Christmas, hence, I'll go easy on it.

Then, it's time for eyeliner!


Stage Liquid Eyeliner is one of my all time favourites. The shape of your eyeliner depends on your personal preferences. I like to give the effect of bigger eyes, hence, I always extend the length of my eyes by using a liquid eyeliner.

After that, using an angled liner brush, dip it into Espresso to connect the eyeliner to the bottom lash line for a defined eyes.


Gah... so many steps just for a neutral look? Girls will forever be girls.

Finally, to get the glittery holiday look, I apply this glitter eyeliner on the lower lash line. Is it called lash line? Geez... I can't remember.


However, if you hate glitters - it's optional. I just thought I could add a touch of a more fun look by adding this into the look.

I always hate curling my eyelashes because they are almost invisible, hence, after mascara, I'll apply false lashes.


I couldn't find my more natural looking eyelashes, hence... well... you know, I know. Hahaha.

Second last step - choose your favourite shade of blush - mine is Snapdragon from Stage.


Finally - I have to fix my ugly hair. Bad hair days, they are always around - hahahaha...

So, here's the final look for the holiday season!


Oh, if you're wondering - I did not edit the pictures at all, so... expect an ugly me. LOLX!

Oh, ya... red lips - I love my Chanel lipstick!

Well... no Christmasy feel yet? How about adding another touch to it?


I stole Santa's hat!

I am pretty sure he's upset in the North Pole now, trying to search for his lost hat.

Smoochie, smooch!

Update - NYX products can now be bought at Colours Cosmetics if you are from Malaysia and Singapore!

It's two more weeks to Christmas and I'm feeling great - feel like going shopping but then again, boh lui to spend because yes, I am saving for my Singapore trip. It has been 2 years since I last got out of Malaysia and I can't wait to visit Singapore!

*whistling smurf song*

Okay, as the title has said, this entry is gonna be all smoochie smooch, smooch!


It'll be an entry on lipsticks and lip glosses, so... if you're interested, read on because I will be adding my personal touch to those reviews you've read online because what I like may not be the same as others. At the end of the day, you will be your own judge.

P/S - Warning! Long entry with lotsa pictures ahead!

I am not particularly anal about lipsticks, lip glosses or even lip liners but then again, it doesn't mean I will put on every lipsticks out there in the market, especially from the night market where you can get tons of ciplak MAC products. LOLX! My lips are forever dry and sensitive so, if I go wrong with the lipsticks or anything, I'll get chapped lips the next day. Still... yeah, as long as the lipstick is moisturizing enough with average staying power, then, I'll be good with it.

I do believe every girl has her own HG lipsticks or anything. Well, I have mine and sad to say, it's kinda wasteful but then again, I always categorize my HG lipsticks into three different categories in accordance of their prices - affordable, average and high-end.

Let's take a look at what I have in my affordable range.

Affordable Lipsticks

Anything for me that is around RM5 to RM20 would be considered affordable because well... I don't really splurge on lipsticks since I get them FOC most of the times from my aunt and cousins. So, if I do buy lipsticks of the affordable range, it has to be under RM20!

My first choice would be Essence Lipsticks!


Well, these are basically what I have in my collection. I got two of them to try out initially and ended up liking the formula because they're QUITE moisturizing even though the lasting power isn't long - probably around 2 hours or so, then, you'd need to reapply.


Among the four shades that I have, I dig Frosted the most because it totally gives you the frosted lips that I love whenever I'm going for smokey eyes. I don't know about you but I kinda like frosted-looking lips with smokey eyes. It always gives the uumph effect that I want.

Here are pictures of these lipsticks applied on my lips. Please be warned I wasn't wearing any makeup that day because well... bad skin condition, hence, I've gotta go easy on makeup.


From what you can see in the pictures, there is a tinge of colour in every shade but the shades aren't pigmented enough if you were to compare to other brands but hey, with only RM9.90 for each lipstick, what else can you complain, right?
Essence Stay with Me Lip Gloss kinda does it job the BA claimed when I asked her the other day. She told me, "It'll stay with you as long as you don't eat or drink."

Right... no eating and no drinking will kill me! Hahahaha... but other than that, I'd say the staying power is probably around 2 hours too.


Best deal - it retails for RM9.90 as well.

I'd say this is not really the best lipgloss ever because it does feel sticky upon application and you all know no one likes sticky lip glosses.

Next up are lips' products from the infamous brand - NYX.


Go langgar dinding if you're among the online beauty social circle and you have yet heard about NYX. LOLX!

Those are the only NYX lips' products I own because I sold off my RLS in Strawberry Milk as it looked too pale on me.

Take a second look at the picture above - I can't believe I am almost done with Whipped and Sorbet - I can't wait to finish them. Hahaha. I didn't take pictures of these two lip glosses because Eki wears them all the times and she looks 100 or 200 times better than me with these lip glosses.

NYX Round Lipgloss has been discontinued in the official NYX website but you can still get them from ULTA, Cherry Culture or Nonpareil Boutique for around USD$2 each.

Check out my swatches!


Lemme start with the ultimate love from NYX lips' product - Lip Lacquer Pot. I kid you not when I say I love his lipgloss cum lipstick. I don't know whether this product is supposed to be a lipgloss or lipstick but anyhow, it works great on me!


It delivers the subtle pinkish glow any girl would love if you get the same shade as mine - Sweet Pea. Very moisturizing and best of all - I have yet to regret getting this product although I hate the inconvenient packaging that requires a lip brush to dig out the product. It is kinda not hygienic for lips' products to be packaged in a pot without any scoop or anything.

Have you ever face the problem of not being able to test out the products before buying them? Well... a bad purchase of mine...

NYX Round Lipstick in Honey.


Sorry that I made a mistake in labeling the shade.

When I was choosing the right nude shade, I didn't expect Honey to turn out so damn nude that I almost look like a girl without lips whenever I apply this shade. The shade isn't true to what you see on NYX's official website. It is extremely opaque!

If you're going to nude out your lips in order to prep them for other lip colours, then, this shade will do great but if you're gonna wear them alone, it's a big NO, NO! On the performance, it doesn't really last like up to 6 hours but it does last longer than those lipsticks from Essence. They're moisturizing enough if you have dry lips like mine!


Average Lipsticks

So, average for me are lipsticks that retail for around RM30 to RM50. Anything above RM50 for me would be categorized under high-end range.

My pick would be those lipsticks from Stage Cosmetics. Well, what can I say? I love Stage Cosmetics because they're like... one of the best brands ever in Malaysia.


I actually have more than these two lipsticks from Stage but well... I have yet to officialize them yet. Hahaha... Oh, their lipglosses are wonderful but yes, I haven't started using them yet since I'll finish up my NYX lip glosses before using new ones.


Audrey basically comes from the most moisturizing line of lipstick comparing to it's other counterparts. The only down to this line of lipstick is that it doesn't last and when it actually dries up, it'll leave residues on your lips. I don't know about others but it happens to me.


Other than that, I'm perfectly fine with it - the pigmentation is okay and lasting power is average too - probably around 3 to 4 hours if you don't go around and mess with it.

As for Buff Belle, it comes from Stage's Matte collection and basically all shades from this collection are matte!


On the first swatch, I was petrified with how dark Buff Belle looked on hand but when I actually applied it on my lips - it looked wonderful and somehow, it has this nice vanilla scent to it. Hahaha... I'm anal over scents!

The staying power of the lipsticks from the matte collection is longer than the others. So, if you want something that last up to maybe 5 to 6 hours, try this out.

Both collections of lipsticks retail for RM45 at Stage Cosmetics.


High-End Lipsticks

So, any lipstick that goes beyond RM50 for me would be considered dead expensive because on an honest account, I don't go around purchasing lipsticks of high-end brands but if the products work on me, I might consider to re-purchase them.

Enough say.

I bet ya'll will have this image of maybe this...


It's natural... Whenever I drop by Midvalley, the first ever counter I see in Jusco is Chanel... Never have I thought I would end up with one of the lipsticks.

What I have with me is the Chanel Rouge Hydrabase in Aventure.

Yes, I didn't splurge, okay? I got it as a Christmas present and I am really digging this lipstick so much that I don't guarantee I won't be re-purchasing it.


Can you see the tip of the lipstick? I've been wearing this so much ever since I got it 2 to 3 weeks ago and gosh... I should really go easy on this expensive lipstick.

LOLX!

Aunt said it retails for around AUS$30 so, probably, it'll be around RM70 to RM80.

This lipstick, just as it's name suggests, super moisturizing and bet you don't know, it can last up to 8 hours without re-touching! Hahaha... mind you, 8 hours for me and not for anyone else because I tend to skip food and drinks if I'm wearing red. I guess you could probably say the shade is kinda pigmented too.

Next up is the Christian Dior Voyage Collection Lipstick.



I am sorry if you didn't get it because it was released a few years ago and it was a limited edition. So... my bad if I am tempting you. Hahaha.


The shade I have is 255 and I don't exactly know the name since it doesn't come with the name printed on the lipstick.

All I know is... I love the pinkish shimmery tone of this lipstick even though it feels dry on my lips. It's not moisturizing at all but still, I don't mind using it since the shade is so pretty!

I forgot the price - it could be somewhere around RM70 to RM90 per lipstick. I can't remember. That was like 3 to 4 years ago! Hahaha... Don't worry, this lipstick is still good and it doesn't smell awful at all.

The last lipstick that I have - Clinique Long Last Lipstick in Creamy Nude.


I guess all of the girls can never have enough nude lipsticks! Hahahaha... After my first failure with NYX Honey, I turned to my cousin who was a BA for Clinique, Australia for advice and she introduced this shade to me. Best of all, she got this shade for me and I need not pay a single cent to get it. Hahaha.

If you're interested, it retails for USD$14.50 and please don't ask me about it's price in Malaysia because I really don't know.

This lipstick does last quite long - 6 to 8 hours as well and you are not gonna believe it's moisturizing effect, I tell you! The moisturizing effect is miraculous - it glides like magic and it stays like your faithful doggie. Hahaha.

Anyway, here is a swatch of all the high-end lipsticks I have.


So, what's your favourite lipsticks?

Before I end this entry, just something extra to share. Here's a picture of the products finished in November 2011. I'm gonna gear up to finish all that I own so that I can buy new ones. Hahaha.


On another note, I almost forgot I have this palette already until stupid sister digs it out of my stash few days ago!


Holy cow! It's the infamous Urban Decay Book of Shadows 4!!! Hahahaha... Is it 4 or is it 3? LOLX! I can't remember at all.


The eyeshadows are untouched and I have forgotten all about it because I dig my Naked Palette so much!

Enjoy the rest of the week, people!
