A Weekend Haul

 Eyeing the makeup shelves while I was getting the necessaries from the store. I feel like I needed something but I just couldn't think about what it is. Finally I figured out it is the heat protecting spray and I was in the wrong section, no wonder! "Well, well, let's just spend some time here since we're already in the makeup section." This is usually what would happen to me when I'm in the store and yes, I ended up bring in home something with me.

For the past two months or so, Revlon's Pink in the Afternoon is almost what I am wearing everyday on my lips. Although it is a gorgeous pink and suits me very well, but I'm tired of putting on the same old thing everyday. Really craving for some new lip colors to wear and here are the ones that I picked up.

NYX Round Lipstick in Pumpkin Pie
Finally a true nude lip color for me!   I rarely buying nude lipstick because I barely use them. They are just not the preferable color for me and I was having hard time finding one to love. So far the nude I'm still using and loving is Revlon Soft Nude.  Pumpkin Pie is a peachy, corally nude color with a hint of pink in it. The texture makes it apply effortlessly, almost like a lip balm. I think hydrating isn't the word for it, I would say it's smooth and moist on the lip. It's a low maintenance lipstick and I could just put it on my bare lip and it would look good without blending or anything on top.

Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter in Strawberry Shortcake
Surprise, surprise, this is the first Revlon lip butter that I've purchased. I know in the makeup world everybody loves it and has at least one or two of them, but I don't know why I never interested of buying them, maybe that it the reason. If I have to pick one among all the colors, I would go for Sweet Tart rather than Strawberry Shortcake, anyway I got one and I like it. I like how smooth that is when applying it and this color just so fun and girly. Luckily this is a blue toned pink but looks quite nice on me.
Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick (Pearl )in Wink for Pink
A rosy pink with slightly coral, this is one of the flattering shade for fair skin to wear. The color, interesting enough, is identical to Revlon Pink in the Afternoon (creme). I say this is a different version of pink in the afternoon, a bit of sheer, quite moist on the lip and with shimmer in it. I found myself always fell for color in this range because they suits my skin color. This one without a doubt will become a stable favorite of mine.

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Pink Pop
Cute and fun would describe this well. This is what I would call a barbie pink, a color that is fun to wear and makes you look cute and girly. I am never a lipgloss lover and lipgloss probably is the least product I would mention. I own a few lipgloss from this line, the color, the texture and even the packaging just got me. I couldn't resist to this beauty and it would be fun to wear at summer times.
NYX  Pumpkin Pie, Revlon Lip Butter Strawberry Shortcake, Revlon Lipstick Wink for Pink, Revlon Lipgloss Pink Pop

Besides all the lippies, I also got the Sally Hansen Nail & Cuticle oil and L'oreal True Match Supper-blendable powder in classic ivory. Haven't been doing my nails for months, I felt embarrassed not because I haven't got any color on but the dead skin and dry cuticles on my nails. I am so eager to get back to my routine now and cuticle oil: a must have for me. On to the powder, I wanted a lighter shade powder to wear on top of foundation and doing touch-up during the day, never tried any L'oreal powder before and I found this one it was on clearance for less than 3 bucks (YEAH~ ).

Hope you enjoyed my haul and thanks for reading.

Revlon Matte Lipstick 002 Pink Pout

 This is the Revlon Matte Lipstick color: 002 Pink Pout. I have it for really long time just recently fall in love with it. Revlon lipsticks are not bad, the texture is not as creamy as Rimmel Lipstick but some of the color are really flattering so I like it a lot, I have a few favorites from different line of Revlon.
(swatches: the left one)

I like to wear a thin layer of this lipstick then blend it with my finger, after it blend the color looks soft and really pretty. It is also a great color for a bitten look by using a lip paint on top.

Rimmel Lipstick: Pink Blush


This is the Rimmel lipstick color: Pink Blush. I pick this one up because it looks very pretty in the packaging and I swatch on my hand, it looks not bad either. (Picture below: the one on the right)  Same line as the Airy Fairy, (love the formula of this line)very creamy texture and the color just looks so good by looking at it, its on the brighter side and I figured it will be good for the warm weather.
After I put it on my lips, the color turns different, still beautiful color but not the color that I want to wear. This is obviously a bright pink color that is not wearable for my everyday makeup look. I think this will be a perfect match with a fun, bright makeup look, it will be the perfect lip color for teenage girls, maybe someone with different skin tone, just not for me. 
I guess because of my natural lip color, certain lipstick just show differently, those looks good in the packaging not always turns out to be good on actual lips. I have couple of lip products that belongs to these category. Do you have the same issue as I do?

Thanks for reading and have a good one!

March Favorites


 ❤Products❤
Naruko Narcissus Total Defense Moisturizing Night Repair
Naruko Narcissus Total Defense Fundamental Serum
Jergens Natural Glow 
ELF Goldern Bronzer
NYC Quick Dry Nail Polish 264 Lincoln Square Lavender
Revlon lipstick Pink in the Afternoon

 Naruko Skin care:

These two Naruko products are mentioned in my skin care post, I have been using this for almost two months now. I really like them because they works very well brightening my skin and also keep it moisturized. Usually I will add a layer of sun protection after I apply them then put makeup on.


ELF Golden Bronzer:
 Love the texture and color from the ELF Goldern Bronzer, I use them as eye shadow and highlight  for everyday makeup look, the texture make it really easy to work with, takes no time to apply and blend .


NYC Nail Polish Color: 264 Lincoln Square Lavender
So far the best color that I had for spring and summer. I'm really shock by how beautiful the color shows on my nails, pink lavender color with glossy finish. I don't even need a top coat with it. Another great thing about this nail polish is I can achieve different finish with different layers, one coat will leave a juicy, pastel color, two coats: opaque pink lavender color.

Last but not least is the Revlon lipstick color: Pink in the Afternoon. Pink rosy color, feels good on lips and looks very flattering.
Thanks for reading and have a good weekend!

Products this week: Rosy, Coral

 Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick 415 Pink In The Afternoon
Estee Lauder Pure Color Gloss Coral Fantasy SHINE

 Another Revlon lipstick that I really liked. This is a rosy pink color, no shimmer, feel nice creamy on lips and very flattering lip color.

Estee Lauder Pure Color Gloss Coral Fantasy SHINE
My first coral color lip gloss, really love this packaging: nice quality and the combination of gold and coral pink color.
It doesn't show much of the coral color on my lips but super high shine, not too sticky and last long. 


I am start to look at some colors that I never try or consider before, because I want to break my hobby of "always pink and neutral ". It feels exciting when I start to try out different colors, such as a hot pink blush or coral lip color.
Cheer me up when I found new things.

Rosebud Perfume Co. Lip Balm



Rosebud Perfume Co. Lip Balm Minted Rose, Mocha Rose

I was browsing Internet and reading beauty blogs the other day(I like to do this when I was bored) and  someone mentioned these lip balms, it suddenly reminds me of my old one which is the original one. Even though I can't find the little tin anymore, but I know I loved it and used it all up. So, as I am getting makeup remover I pick up these two as well: Minted Rose and mocha Rose lip balm, I figured I can have two.( actually is because I like the pink packaging^^ ) 
I have tried both and I love them, nice smells and very moisturizing as the original one. The Mint Rose looks more juicy bitten, has a touch of mint feeling, the Mocha one is pink, smells sweet. 
Even though I don't like to put my finger in it and clean my finger afterwards, but since they are so adorable and works very well, I can bear that.

I have to admit I am a 'packaging person', always love little tins and boxes with vintage print or flowers on it.
