Milky Lipsticks

This is a super duper late post. This should have been posted last year. Anyway, here goes.

I’m not a huge fan of matte lipsticks because I have very dry, chapped lips. The doctor said it’s one of those annoying things about my illness. But here are two matte lippies that I really like.

The great thing about owning a store is the ready supply of beauty stuff. These were the last 2 tubes and they’ve been out for so long so I decided to give them a try. Here are swatches:

Number 4 is a peachy shade while number 3 is pinkish. They are both very nude lipsticks.

Milky is a good name for these lippies as they glide on smoothly. I don’t think this will dry out normal lips. My lips are dry no matter what lipstick I use. They also last a long time on my lips in spite of my constant drinking and licking.

These are also from Kiss Me Cosmetics. I will hoard again the next time I’m abroad.

Quick tip: If you have very dry lips like mine, be sure to moisturize first. For a quick scrub, apply a generous amount of lip balm all over your lips. Gently scrub off with a facial tissue or a cotton pad. Then apply another coat of lip balm. If you have a lip primer (I use Etude House’s which I haven’t even reviewed, thanks to a quick search on my blog) use that next. Then apply the matte nude lipstick using a lip brush. For me, a lip brush is a must. I use the brush to outline and fill in my lips. After that,  I swipe the lipstick over my lips then fix it again using the brush.

All About Eyes

Lately I’m finding myself obsessed with skin care products, prevention in particular. I'm not getting younger and nobody likes lines and wrinkles, right? I should have done this in my early twenties but those were hard times and we didn’t have enough to support our daily lives, let alone vanity splurges. So now, I’m on hyper mode. I did not place any expectations on this product. I’ve had it with products claiming they can do this and that. I just tried the product thinking that if it works then great, if not then I’ll just find a new one. I wasn’t expecting a dramatic change but 2 weeks into using this product, I noticed that my under eye area has become lighter. The lines are also not as deep as they were before I used this product. I stopped using the Garnier eye products because I’m allergic to them so that means I’m not using any whitening products for that area. I am truly impressed with this product. I didn’t take a before and after photo as I wasn’t expecting this at ...

Alone Time

My good friend Kitten and I were supposed to go out yesterday but she had some unexpected things come up. I needed to buy some stuff as I am packing for a trip and so I went alone. I actually enjoy going out alone as much as going out with girlfriends or MB. It gives me a chance to eat whatever I like to eat and explore new restos. It’s also nice to take my time when shopping. After paying my bills, I had a late lunch at Toast Box: I love Hainanese Chicken. I sometimes cook this dish but it’s too tedious so I settle for eating out. I’m so happy that there are now restaurants that serve proper Hainanese Chicken. Well, except that one above was sooooo bloody. It was swimming in blood when I pulled the meat apart so I had it changed. You know what Gordon Ramsay says, bloody chicken is poisonous. This is the second time I ate at Toast Box and in both times, the chicken was so bloody. After lunch, I started shopping. First stop was Beabi where I bought these: The Sakura thermos on...
