LoTW: Make Up Store Lipstick Pen Bubblegum

October 22, 2014

I bet most of us have experienced this before: going to a store to get a certain product and walked out with something completely different. Yep, that’s what happened to me not too long ago, for the n-th time.

I was looking to get Make Up Store Microshadow in Masai, thanks to Karima’s stellar reviews. I finally found the time to visit the counter and when I swatched the product, I kind of lost interest. The product is beautiful, don’t get me wrong, it’s just that I rarely contour. And I was much more interested in getting Kevyn Aucoin Sculpting Powder Medium (which I just got a few days ago). I thought that I could always go back to get it since it’s available locally anyway.

Just as I was walking out the counter, I remembered that I had seen pictures of the Lipstick Pen before and wanted to try them. So, I went for for a quick look, picked up one that caught my eye instantly, swatched it, went gaga over it and once I knew the price tag, I went straight to the cashier.

LoTW: Burberry Lip Velvet Bright Poppy

October 8, 2014

I love my Burberry Lip Covers and I wear them a lot. They are my go-to lipsticks. It has been about a couple of years since Burberry Beauty launched the Lip Velvet collection. While I initially got really excited about these, turned out, I never got around to get them! Blame the never-ending lemmings. Well, I finally did and this will be my first review.

Burberry Lip Velvet Bright Poppy. Let me give you the obligatory shot..

Red on Red Tonal Look

September 29, 2014

I’m seeing a lot of red this season. A lot of red on the eyes. I’ve even mentioned the uncanny resemblance here and I had an idea of my interpretation. The inspiration, first and foremost, was by ADDICTION by Ayako. The brand released a Fall Winter 2014 Collection called Tokyo Story. And at almost the same time, the brand releases a limited-edition eyeshadow palette to celebrate its 5th Anniversary.

I mean, come on, how can I not resist that?! Well, I did resist buying it because the neutrals look way too similar to my ADDICTION Sugar Rusk palette and I can’t be bothered by buying something so similar, even if it’s limited edition. Lipsticks, however, are a completely different matter, though :p

I am not ready for an eye-searing red eyeshadow. I am, however, ready for red eyeliners. Now, I should underline it first that you should never try this at home*.

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.
