Kiehl's Lipbalm #1 original .

Despite my busy schedule, I'd really want to share this product with you girls today.

Because I find this lipbalm extremely goooooooood (:

Because I am a lipstick sucker, lips to me, is an important deal.
 I mean you wouldn't want ugly looking dry cracked lips when you have your lipstick on right?
So this is where lipbalm comes in.

Previously I have been using Burt's bee lipbalm which I've blogged about before and I really loved it. 

Yet when I started using  Kiehl's , I fell in love with it immediately.

But , both of them works differently so I'll definitely still be using both of them !

My boyfriend's sister gave this to me. 

I googled and the price is more or less 13 SGD ? (15ml)

From what I've read, this comes in different scene, mine is the original.

Palm sized tube.

Back .

It's colourless.

Applied.

Well, this lipbalm is MADNESS !

I love love love love how it feels on my lips. 

It's so so so moisturizing.

However, it feels more like a lipgloss than a lip balm as it's glossy ( you can see from the picture above).

But the glossiness doesn't last very long as I guess it would eventually be absorbed into your lips !

That's how you get hydrated and moisturizing lips (:

I love to apply them before bed, and trust me,

you'll wake up having kissable baby lips.

Yes seriously.

I do sometimes apply them before lipstick, 

but only for those lipstick that are tend to be kinda drying like the Revlon Pink Pout Lipstick.

But I still love the lipstick and it's colour though !

If not, I'll still stick to my burt bee's lipbalm because it's waxy it goes better with lipsticks.

Overall, I LOVE THIS LIPBALM. 

You should try too if you have dry and cracked lips all the time !

Would I repurchase?

Definitely.

Good luck (:

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick ; Matte in Pink Pout.

As I've said I'm a absolute sucker for lipstick, 

I got myself another matte lipstick from Revlon last night .

Actually it was my boyfriend who brought me shopping cos I was under huge stress due to school :/

#bestboyfriendever (:

I've been deciding either to get Primrose or Pink Pout, both from Revlon.

I wanted to try something pink this time.

The colours for both are somehow similar but then Pink Pout is matte.

So I went to Guardian and I could only see Pink Pout available and it was the last one already!

In a way it's good because I was still very undecisive on which to get.

So, I got my Revlon Lustrous Lipstick , Matte 002 in Pink Pout from Guardian for $13.90 sgd.

Pink Pout

Matte 002 .

Looking pretty isnt it.

Swatch

Close up swatch

Let's get started first.

And as always, prepare your lips with a coat of lipbalm !

As usual, I always prefer to dap on it, instead on swiping the entire stick over lips.

Done dapping. This gives a very barbie pink yet appears kinda nude at the same time.

I think it's because my skintone is kind of fair, 

and pale looking lip colour isnt really my thing

so I added some tiny llittle tony molly lip tint on it to give it more pink.

( Scroll down to the left side bar to see my tonymolly liptint review)

After some liptint mixed , appears to be slightly more vibrant.

Pros

A very sweet barbie pink and sometimes appears nude ! 

( If you have ton skintone, it'll probably look great on you )

It's matte !

 ( I love matte lipstick)

Opaque , very rich in colour.

Creamy consistancy, very easy to apply.

Best to wear with heavy eyemakes.

Cons

It might be a lil drying to the lips.

Will accentuates the lipline if too much is applied.

Don't think it'll look very nice on people with very fair skintone 

( doesn't really compliment your skin)

Would I repurchase ?

Most probably not. 

But no doubt it's a really nice colour.

Because I think I've come into conclusion that vibrant colours suit me more as I have quite fair skintone.

Etude House Color Me Nude & Gradient Lips tutorial

Hi there !

 I'm still as eager as always to post my review everytime !

So recently there's this very In-thing among the koreans

called the " Gradient Lips " or they call it " Bitten lips " too.

which looks somehow like the pictures below ( Not mine )

O M G Isn't it gorgeous?!?

 I fell in love almost immediately.

And so I went youtube and watched some videos .

Some people make it so complicated with sooooo many layers to apply.

Oh come on ! 

 I'm telling you now, 

All you need is 3 simple steps.

But before we start, 

there's one thing that is very important to make the gradient lips a success 

which is a Lip Concealer !

So what I'll be reviewing today will be the Color Me Nude from Etude House.

What is a lip concealer ? Why do I need it?

Basically a lip concealer is like a cream to cover up your natural lip colour 

in order to really bring out the colour of your lipstick. 

Or some girls like nude lips 

so they can just wear this and coat it with a gloss and they're ready to go.

( I once wore just the lip concealer out and my friend thought I was sick because I looked so pale lol )

The funny thing is that I actually bought this product like 4 years ago
and I used to really hate it ( due to wrong application and I really didn't now when to use it)

And only now I'm starting to fall in love with it. 

Anyway I got it for about less than RM20 if I'm not mistaken ???

Alright let's get started first.

The bare lips ( with lip balm applied )

Very lightly dap the lip concealer onto your lips . Then , blend it with your fingers ( this is super important )

Done. You can see that the coverage is pretty good.

Okay now proceeding to the tutorial of the Gradient lips.

I'm gonne be using the Tony Molly Water Jelly Lip Tint in Pomegranate.

( This was like the first product I did a review on on my blog.

 If you wanna read it, scroll down to the bottom on the side bar on your left ! )

And using this ....

Dap only on the inner part of your upper and lower lips.

Then blend it with your fingers.

Alright you're almost done ! Now add a coat of clear gloss and you're done !

Remember to use a clear gloss.

DONE ! As simple as that .

(:

I am madly in love with this gradient lips thingy, it's like a freaking genius.

Pros :

Color Me Nude has a very creamy consistency ,

making it easy to apply.

No frangance.

Good coverage.

One tiny lip concealer can last you a veeeeeery time long

 because you don't need to apply alot of them each time.

So I guess it's a good investment.

Cons :

Might be drying to the lips.

Will sink into the lip lines 

and it can look so so so ugly.

That's why it's so important to just dap a small amout on your lips

 and blend it with fingers instead of swipping it on like a normal lipstick.

Oh, lip balm prior to it is a must too !

Would I repurchase?

It's a good product , but I guess I won't because I'd want to try something new (:

Hope you've learnt something new today. Good luck (:

Benefit's Cheek and Lips tint: Posietint

I've got my very first benefit cosmetic !!! 

So , I went KL last week ( One Utama) and I saw a Benefit shop ! 

I immediately went berserk and I dragged my bf into the shop . 

I was very welcomed by a young lady who was asking me what I was looking for.

Actually I had no idea . 

I just saw on the Internet before that quite alot of people say that Benefit is famous for its blush !

Then this girl introduced me the Benefit Cheek and Lip tint . 

I was in a dilemma to choose between the Benetint ( redder ) and Posietint ( pinker) .

She gave me a test on the back of my palm and also my lips.

After much hesitation , I finally decided on Posietint as pink is nicer for my fair complexion .

Besides, the sales girl recommended me their star product which is their Primer which when I tested seems super good to use lah.
I think I'm gonna own them sooner or later.

Anyway I've got a 12.5ml bottle of Posietint for RM125.

I took a photo right after stepping out of the shop.
I had a Love At First Sight crush right after the first swipe on my lips with Posietine.

So this is how the packaging looks like.

It's like so freaking pretty laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah omg.

Front.

Back.

The super ultra pretty barbie pink bottle !!!!plus an instruction paper.

Palm size.

It's like a nail polish bottle with the same brush. Looks like a barbie pink here .

MADLY in love with the sweet barbie pink.

Well, let's get started first ! :)

As usual, the naked face.

Powder foundation checked, eyebrows checked.

Naked lips.

So, what the Benefit girl taught me is that to paint a few strokes of the pink on your fingers first,

then only dap it onto your cheeks.

( so as to make sure that you don't get patches of pink on your cheek because

ONE THING YOU NEED TO KNOW IS THAT

it dries out very fast so you need to blend super fast , like within 5 seconds.)

As for the lips, I just directly apply a few dots on my lips and even it with my fingers.

Photos below are my cheek and lips with Posietint .

Done.

Another shot.

Close up.

Me with Benefit's Posietint.

Posietint does stain your fingers a little,but I can totally live with it.

Below are photos when I'm having my lazy day make-up

Meaning no foundation , just eyebrows and blush ( Posietint )

Just applied.

After more than 10 hours outdoor, it still looks very pinkish !

Alright done with the photos, let's get back to business.

Pros:

LOVE LOVE LOVE the pinkish tone on my face,

giving me a very natural blush!!!

Super duper long lasting ( even with sweat and oil ) , 

definitely more more more than 12 hours. 

This is like the best thing already.

No shimmer. 

Suitable for a everyday look .

No fragrance.

Suitable for sensitive skin I guess ?

Doesn't dry out with lips .

Seriously if you're using it as a lip tint, you'll like it because it doesn't make your lips peel !

Cons :

Kinda pricey.

 But however the girl told me that a bottle of that can roughly last me about 8 months ! 

So I think it's kinda worth it.

Need to practice a few times to learn to apply fast 

because when I first tried to apply I realized I'm not fast enough hence I got some pinky patches .

The pink is kinda sheer when using on lips .

Hence you need to like apply 2 layers to really get the pink to show up.

Other alternative,  use it with a lip concealer.

Would I repurchase ?

ABSOLUTELY . I LOVE BENEFIT !

Good Luck (:

Okay back to the main point. 

So , when I reach KL

I realised I forgot to bring my eyelash curler !!!!!!!!! 

So I quickly googled 

" How to curl your lashes without a curler "

LOL. seriously .

 However , according to some websites

it seems that the " Heat the spoon " technique appears to be the best among all ( The most long lasting )

So without further say, let's get started.

HOW TO CURL YOUR EYELASHES WITHOUT A CURLER

What you'll need 

A metal spoon ( preferably a small tea spoon )

A hairdryer

Steps

1. Apply a coat of mascara on your uncurled lashes.

2. Heat a metal spoon with a hair dryer.

3. Use the back of the heated spoon to push against your eyelash so that it is curled upwards. 

4. Wait for about 20 seconds.

5. If you're not satisfied with the results, heat the spoon again and repeat step 3 and 4 .

6. Reapply mascara in order to get the length and volume you desire.

And you're done !
