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. 03 04 – MAC Playing Koi Dupe 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 moistur...

Talking Palette?

I’m not sure if Stila is the pioneer in talking palettes but they sure are the first one I’ve seen. I got this palette last year from a friend.   This is the smokey eye palette.  It looks like this on the inside: There are 3 buttons, each with a different language for your tutorial.  There are also labels on each pan if you don’t want to listen to the tutorial. It’s basically base, lid, crease and liner. Here are swatches: The darker shades have a lot of fall outs. They’re a bit difficult to blend so I just pat them onto my eyelid and build from there. Some of the pigments hurt my eyes. It felt like I had glitters in my eyes so naturally, my eyes became red. You must have patience when working with this palette. Also, be sure to clean your under eye area after. The cover is magnetic so it doesn’t easily open up. I don’t think there’s anything else that I can say about this palette. I’d give it a 6 out of 10. I saw a makeup ad that was so gorgeous, I decided...

FIX

*Please note that this is a scheduled post. By press time, it has been 3 days since I wrote this My current shampoo is Changpo from The Face Shop. But since it’s so expensive (as my friend Kitten mentioned), I decided to look for an alternative. During my cousin’s Christmas shopping at Bench, I chanced upon this shampoo: I ignored this shampoo before because I didn’t have colored hair. Now that I do, it’s the perfect time to try it. Trying out the fish eye mode of my cam read the label So far so good. I’m not allergic to it which is a big surprise. It does make my hair rough and hard (if you can even say hard). It’s like after you color your hair, it fills kinda stiff, right? That’s how my hair feels after I rinse off this shampoo. The thing with me is, I use shampoo at night and conditioner in the morning so I really have a hard time combing my hair afterwards. I have to be very careful not to ruin my curls nor pull out all my hair! The smell is like a salon treatment but n...
