Lipsticks are my recent favorite ever since I grew apart from lip gloss. Within a short period, I manage to purchase more than a dozen of lipsticks (some were given).

But a girl can't have too many lipsticks, right?

But I will not make a whole review of my entire lipstick collection. 

Instead, I will be listing my top 10 most used lipsticks throughout December. 

I can't really choose my Top 1 or whatever as I love them all so equally that they are like my babies. I love purchasing lipsticks from all sorts of brand so it really depends on the quality or finishes for me to like/love and be convinced. There are days I want a peach look or nude but on some days, I bring in the darker shades to reflect my mood.

Here are the swatches :

Under flash -

Under normal light -

M.A.C Russian Red ; Matte finish

This is a universal red for everyone and it is blue-toned which makes your teeth whiter. Even though it's matte but it is so creamy and non-drying at all. I would choose this over Ruby Woo. 

M.A.C Kinda Sexy ; Matte finish

It is a nude-pink shade which I purchased it because I wanted a nude but not too pale nude and it seemed perfect. Sometimes I apply the littlest amount for a hint of color

M.A.C Impassioned ; Amplified finish

It is a hibiscus pink that I didn't purchase but was given by a friend. Normally, I don't enjoy pink lipsticks but this is quite subtle that I do apply little amount as a tint to class and it gives me that natural flush. Love the amplified finish that it's quite moisturing.

Yves Saint Laurent #13 Le Orange ; Rouge Pur Couture collection Satin finish

To be honest, I didn't choose this color but it was bought by my brother and surprisingly I love the color. It is so creamy and moisturising PLUS it smells like fruity-ish. This may be quite pricey but I wouldn't mind purchasing it for the quality. 

N.Y.X Snow White ; Satin finish

It's somewhat like a dark brown-red but it is so beautiful! It is very pigmented even with just 1 swatch so I would recommend if you want to go darker reddish brown and it doesn't put a hole in your pocket.

Avon Hot Pink ; Satin finish

This reminds me of purple-pink but not as light as lilac but still! I would say it gives a very creamy finish but not very long-lasting.  Overall, I don't mind re-applying every single time it fades anyway.

Avon Matte Merlot ; Matte finish

This shade reminds me of burgundy-red and I love how it compliments my yellow, olive-skintone. It looked so scary on the tube but rest assure it isn't. Moreover, it is quite affordable as well.

Avon Berry Smooch ; Totally Kissable Collection in Satin finish

This lipstick collection is by far my most favorite lipstick ever that I purchased 4 shades from this collection alone.  I would describe it as hot purple berry but not too overempowering. It's very moisturising, creamy and more importantly, it is very pigmented as well.

Avon Red Embrace ; Totally Kissable Collection in Satin finish

The only reason I purchased this is because it was reviewed by Teen Vogue (surprise! surprise!) and I thought, WHY NOT? It is a bright orange-red more on the warmer tones. It's so affordable as well so I would highly suggest you checkout this color. 

Avon Make Out Red ; Totally Kissable Collection in Satin finish

This lipstick was given by my mom because she thought this color would suit me. It actually did. It is described as a pink-red but more on the rose-pink. If I am feeling girly that day, I would slapped on this lipstick.

That's all for my blog review! I hope this helps :D

Hey lovelies!

I just got back from my usual window shopping. I didn't really purchase as much as my boyfriend whom went nuts almost at every male departments.

 I love Typo's journals that I couldn't resist grabbing a few.

& I finally got myself a lipstick case. 

Whilst getting bored in the clothing department ;

I did take a few non-professional shots in the fitting room (sorry, not sorry)

Factorie's fitting room is the bomb yo!

Lightning wasn't perfect but the decor is quite interesting.

I thought the beanie is quite a statement for a plain ol' casual look.

Sleveless Crop Top : RM19

Cardigan : RM59

Beanie : RM19

Shorts : Own

Shoes : Own

They're having sales so do check them out!

Meanwhile I was waiting for my boyfriend to shop, 

I love how my lashes stand out with Mega Impact and Super Magnify mascara.

Lipstick by YSL Rouge Pur Couture #13

After he was done, we decided to try Wondermama X Cafe.

It was our first time and we were kinda taking a leap of trying new things nowadays since I have always been so spontaneous and I am trying to convert him into it.

They have a Cafe and Bar section. 

I like the old fashion menu!

Love the décor, too!

Iced Milo (RM6.80 before tax)

It's not too thick nor thin but pretty refreshing for tea time.

Surprisingly, he was hungry so he ordered this Salted Egg fried rice. (RM14.90 before tax)

 It actually taste good but pretty pricey for a fried rice, no?

Durian Crepe with Ice-cream (RM9.50 before tax)

I LOVE THIS DESSERT! If you love Durian, order this! It was sprinkled with cornflakes and corn, served with vanilla ice cream. I enjoy this dessert as it is a mix combo of the tradition ice cream with crepe.

Of course I had to take a photo and after so many failed ones (I shall not embarrass myself on this) and my boyfriend finally got it! I look all demure nonsense but it is hard to pose without the front camera nonetheless.




OVERALL, this is an affordable place for meals or desserts so I would probably drop by soon.

Price wise: Affordable
Service: Quick and Efficient
Surrounding: Clean and pretty place to take photos

I hope you will have a wonderful weekend!

Have fun shopping or cafe hopping!

Hey everyone! 

I will be reviewing Pur Rouge Couture and it is one of YSL's best selling lipstick range besides Rouge Volupté. I had to ask my brother to purchase it in duty-free for me and he claimed that most of the shades from Rouge Volupté were sold-out! I was bummed but I had to settle for this collection but I am glad that I did.

Description:

A new-generation lipstick inspired by Monsieur Saint Laurent’s iconic color palette—red, fuchsia and orange—in a collection of captivating couture shades that offer each complexion a customized look. Lips are saturated with intense, stay-true color, thanks to the Coloreveal Technology while natural extracts provide comforting moisture that lasts all day. Provides medium to full coverage with a radiant, satin finish.

The color that I have chosen is #13 in Le Orange .

Firstly, the packaging deserve major points. It feels so luxurious and despite the hefty price, I wouldn't mind, It's light-reflecting so it is easily smeared by fingerprints.

 Thus, it isn't as heavy as I imagine neither. 

I give it 5 out of 5 stars. Hands down to YSL for their creativity.

Without light:

With light:

You can see the YSL engraved onto the lipstick. I don't think that's relative new nor interested but it may be a thing for someone else. 

I take my scents seriously and so far, it smells so fruity like mango and not overpowering. 

I find the texture is creamy so it glides onto chapped lipsticks and leaves it so moisturizing. 

It is good for 4-6 hours if you don't consume meals. Even if you do, it stains on your lips so it is pretty long lasting if you ask me.

Overall, 

It is an expensive lipstick but it is an Award Winner collection so I have no qualms paying it if it is a good quality. For makeup hoarder, just buy! You have my permission!

 I have to give it for the packaging for an attention-seeker. If you wouldn't mind splurging, just get it.

Extra :this collection has one famous shade called #52 that was a trend-settler by a Korean actress. 

I wouldn't say it is a must-have but for a collection - why not?

Since they don't have a YSL beauty store here so it can be quite hassle having to visit neighboring country just to purchase a lipstick. 

I probably will drop by their stores and maybe get a few more shades? I might even try Rouge Volupté collection as well *Makeup hoarder mode ON*

Have a great day!

Price : Approximately $52 - 58 SGD (RM153 approx.)

Hey everyone! I will be reviewing my favorite mascara of all time and that is Eyeko Black Magic Mascara! I purchased it a few months back somewhat in July and I have been using it ever since. Despite most mascaras have the longevity of 3 months, this is the fifth month that I am currently using and it still works like magic. 

Eyeko Black Magic is a waterproof mascara and it comes in 8ml.

The tube packaging is very unique where you can squeeze the product to make use of the entire product. It comes with a so-called guitar pick to curl your lashes but it disappeared even before I could try heh.

The wand is somewhat unique and it has a curved shape which I have never own one before.

Firstly, I don't have curly lashes. Mines is fortunately long but just blunt straight. No worries! All you need a eyelash curler. But please invest in a good quality eyelash curler. Moreover, I hate using mascaras that require 2 coats to look long and full but it only takes 1 coat for this mascara. 

Here comes the testing :

(after curling the lashes) 1 coat  | bare lashes 

As you can see, it makes a vast difference and my friends often thought I use fake lashes. Moreover, it is so jet-black. It may be a little messy as it's a wet formula so I suggest you do it patiently. This mascara often do not separate your lashes well so I highly suggest using another mascara to separate your lashes first then apply this for extra definition.

After applying on both eyelashes :

  

I practically use it for 5 months straight, every single day and I wouldn't even want to try other mascara because it is like my holy grail of mascara! I am quite bummed that it has reached its limit and you can actually feel the substance inside gets lesser and lesser which I find that satisfying when you could actually finish a whole mascara tube.

What I enjoy about this mascara is that it does what it promises to do but it gets dried up pretty quick too. My remedy is to boil it for 5-10 seconds and it will be as good as new.

I believe this mascara is worth purchasing if you want massive 'look-at-me' but it is quite pricey.

It may be a waterproof mascara but it is also easy to remove with makeup remover unlike some mascaras like Benefit They're Real.

Will I repurchase? Yes.

Hope this review helps!
