LoTW: Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvets

January 19, 2015

I finally decided to do a review on this super sought-after liquid lipstick. It all started with my friend, Attika, raving about this and she somehow managed to convince me to buy one.

I usually don’t go for drugstore brands, but what the heck, there was a promotion on the drugstore. So I took a chance.

Apparently, my first FOTD post wearing it on my Instagram was noticed by big names like Andra Alodita and Lizzie Parra. Before we know it, people were practically go to different ends of the city to find this. It is sold out almost everywhere in Indonesia***.

No need to guess further more, it’s the epic Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet.

Well, if you have read yesterday’s review, you’d know something terrible happened.

♫ It’s the most wonderful time of the year.. ♫ ♪

Ooh yeah, I get to enjoy every little bit of Christmas whenever possible/available. The music, the decorations and installations are some of the things I wait for every year. Well, I could never get enough of Christmas songs so I usually play them from time to time. Same goes with wearing red lipsticks. While I can certainly sport them everyday, wearing them on the holidays feels so much more special.

Enter, the one that blew me away, Burberry Lip Velvet Military Red.

LoTW: Lipstick Queen Velvet Rope – Private Party

November 27, 2014

Be prepared, this is one lengthy post.

From a wishlist to reality, that’s how I (try to) roll. It wasn’t an easy decision, you know. I don’t just buy a USD 50 lipstick in a snap like I have a money tree to pick onto. I need to have that sizzling chemistry going on before taking the plunge. After going back and forth, I (finally) decided on a shade.

Without further adieu, Lipstick Queen Velvet Rope in Private Party.

October 30, 2014

When there’s a chance of getting a bright lipstick, I’ll raise an eyebrow. When there’s a chance of getting another Givenchy Le Rouge, I’ll take it anytime of the day. Without a doubt, the formula is one of my all-time favorites. The color selection is STUNNING, perfect for me who like that punch of colors.

Presenting, my new addition to the collection, Givenchy Le Rouge #313 Fruit Défendu.

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.

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.
