The Good and The Forbidden

Wishlist: Lipstick Queen Velvet Rope Lipsticks

September 19, 2014

I think I knew that I’m going to have a serious addiction with red lipsticks the moment I bought my first. There are just tons of reasons why I love these red pouts. That being said though, I do not just buy all the reds that I see. I handpicked them carefully. It’s a curated collection. Well, it applies to all of my lipsticks really, but I’m more selective when it comes to reds. Extra selective.

Comes in Lipstick Queen Velvet Rope Lipsticks, my latest lemming.

Check out the video slash short clip about this beautiful piece. That RED. That pigmentation.

Poppy King, is truly the queen of lipsticks. I can just tell her passion from the way that she talks about her brand and products. There’s an ingenuity, such endearment and yet she remains low-profile. The woman knows exactly what she’s talking about. She knows the history well, did her research and makes these inspirations come to life.

The website almost has an introduction video of every product created. The videos explain every bit of detail why a certain lipstick line is special among others. And I love this about her. I, for one, have always tried to be fair with my reds. They are all special and have their own strong point, otherwise I wouldn’t picked them. To just choose my one favorite, that’s just.. cruel.

From all her lipstick lines, I’m most interested in the Velvet Rope collection.

A pigment-rich yet feather-light lipstick that delivers the drama and intensity of matte without compromising on comfort.

This sounds like the perfect, dream formula for matte-lipstick lovers out there, don’t you think? Feather-light? Count me in! From what I’ve read through reviews, a lot of them said that this has a very unique texture, very different from other matte lipsticks. Something that I can’t wait to experience myself.

Being the nature that I am, I also happen to pick the most expensive lipstick from her entire collection. At $50 a pop, this is not a game. It’s always a dilemma of choosing the first shade to try, in this case I’m actually contemplating between Black Tie, Entourage or go for the pink red in Private Party. It’s even a bigger dilemma because if I like this, there’s going to be a larger hole in my pocket.

GAHH!

Has anyone of you tried Velvet Rope? Mind leaving me comments and possibly be an enabler for me? 😉

    If there is an ULTA near you they have four different shades you can try, but beware. It is instant love!!!! Not only does it feel like you are wearing nothing at all, the color lasts forever. Even after eating lunch it still looked amazing.

      I live in Indonesia, unfortunately. I don’t have the privilege of trying many of beauty brands I keen to try out there. I usually just read lots of reviews before getting them online 😀

This could be the year for @lancomeofficial as the This could be the year for @lancomeofficial as the brand has been releasing great products with stellar formulations lately! After the Rénergie Triple Serum success on me, the Rénergie HPN Cream really becomes the cherry on top 🍒

I’ve been using it for the past couple of months, day and night. It doesn’t take long for me to fall in love with it. The first thing that I noticed is the increase plumpness and firmness on the cheeks down - which is always a good sign in my book. As I go into my 30s, I do notice a decrease in hydration and slight loss of volume. So a product like this will always be appreciated. When I combine the Rénergie Triple Serum and HPN Cream together, I really get a dynamic duo. The brightening, even skin tone is more highlighted.

The texture may look quite thick from the outside, but after blending it into the skin, it has a nice balance of hydration and moisture while still manages to be quite lightweight. I apply a bit more during nighttime or finish off with a sleeping mask for enhanced moisture.

I also think it goes well with other products too, don’t really have to think about ingredients clashing, because it’s a friendly 👌🏼 If you’re like me nowadays and prefer for a quick routine yet still deliver experience and results, put this cream on your wishlist! Stat!

663/1000 - what a humbling honor to be a part of t 663/1000 - what a humbling honor to be a part of the grand launch of The Ultimate S Cream with the special display box.

I am obsessed with the design details. An homage to the historical Korean moon jar, representing the richness and wholesomeness of the moon itself. Clean cuts. Soft, smooth matte to the touch. 

Sulwhasoo’s recent rebranding possesses a look that marriage heritage and modernity. Cleaner facade yet still with shapes & lines of the bottles and jars that remind you of the old times. A representation of the brand’s philosophy in combining heritage, art and innovation.

I don’t like to play favorites, because I think I don’t like to play favorites, because I think every product that I like has its own merits and place in my routine. But, there are certain brands and products that I just keep getting back to. 

@sulwhasoo.indonesia is one of the few. The First Care Activating Serum is indeed the first product that I tell everyone to try if you want to dive into this brand. The 6th Gen indeed boasts newer technology, Sulwhasoo Master Complex™️. And for the first time, there’s Ginseng active in it! It cares for the skin’s inherent ability to renew and take care of itself. It really is a great booster serum!

Gentle Cleansing Foam - if you haven’t tried this, you should. I only need very little for each use, it lasts quite a really long time. If you need a first cleanser, pair it with Gentle Cleansing Oil too. Just like the name, they’re gentle and don’t strip my skin afterwards. The scent? Heavenly.

White Ginseng Radiance Mask - can be used as a facial scrub and mask at one go. The combination of herbals and soft particles soften the skin surface. It’s a type of mask that I will use while I’m showering, so I can wash it off altogether.

If you’re like me and you just want to swim yourself in a luxurious cream, Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Cream should be on the wishlist. I do think this help with “filling” the pockets of my skin, making it denser and firmer. Just apply and enjoy the experience, really! ☺️
