Beauty : #MyLipsButBetter

Hey guys! so today i'm going to share with you my TO GO for My Lips BUT.. BETTER kind of lip products!

Literally, you can tag me upon LIPSTICK ADDICT *laughs

I do a lot of lip products, my collection is mainly build up by lipsticks as i tend to stray away from lip glosses. Maybe cause I do not really fancy that texture... or maybe it's the pigmentation. I am not saying that the pigmentation of glosses are really bad, some of it are REALLY PIGMENTED! idk, it's just personal preference. *SMILE*

Basically, 'my lips but better' type of lip colour is the colour of your lips but just slightly more pigmented. I hope that make sense? *laughs

These babies are certainly not my nude lip products, i'll make other post SOON about my FAV NUDES *fingers-crossed*

My lips aren't really pigmented although they're pink and they do get really pale at times when i'm dehydrated..and i do look sick with just my bare lips. My choices for 'My Lips But Better" lip is leaning more to a pale pink, pinky-nude/baby pink!

        #mylipsbutbetter LIST :

• NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Stockholm
• Marc Jacobs LoveMarc Lip Gel in Role Play
• Nars Audacious in Natalie
• Sephora Lip Attitude in G17 (discontinued)
• Nars Lip Gloss in SHADE II. (got it as a gift, I have no idea which collection it was from)

SWATCHES FROM LEFT TO RIGHT

• Sephora G17

Satin, slight shimmery finish. Definitely a sheer lipstick, rosy-brown undertone.

• Marc Jacobs' Role Play

Satin, moisturizing finish! The perfect blue-toned pink for me, slightly leaning to dusty pink. More like a PALE-Dusty pink.

• NARS Audacious Natalie (1 swipe)
• NARS Audacious Natalie (light dabbed)

Everyone knows that NARS Audacious lipsticks are PIGMENTED like BOMB! It's a coral-pink, looks pretty NEON PINK on me with just 1 swipe. Usually i'll just lightly dab it on my lips to achieve that #mylipsbutbetter look! Brigitte is also a good alternative if you're looking for one, and it's leaning more to coral compare to Natalie.

• NARS Lip Gloss, Shade II

This gloss is the only gloss that i love?!?!?! It's a sheer brownish gloss with green and pink pigments! It is so breath-taking i swear.

• NYX SMLC in Stockholm

Again, there's a reason why NYX 's soft matte lip cream (SMLC) is constantly sold out! Despite the price being super affordable, their pigmentation is really good!! I personally own more than 5 in various colours *HEARTS*

Stockholm is my pink-nude, perfect everyday lip colour! Holy grail, you name it.

That is all for my #mylipsbutbetter , thank y'all for reading!!

LUSH Mask of Magnaminty Review!!!

I bet all of you have heard about LUSH! 

They are well-known by the fact that they are cruelty free, fresh handsome products & totally-ALMOST TOTALLY natural! Plus, some doesn't even have preservatives! Which totally benefits those whom has sensitive skins *BIG LOVE!

So here's my review; 

I finally got my hands on these Lush babies online & I've got it in Mask Of Magnaminty, 125g.

It's basically a face & body mask pack, made up of adsuki beans & mint! IF YOU ARE A FAN OF MINT, then this is totally made for you! Clearly, I'm obsessed with mints!

This is how it looks like, mine is shipped from Lush Japan & it's the self preserved version. 

Taa daaaa, when you open up the lid this is what you get! Instantly this minty smell just hits your nostrils and gives a major breeze ❤️ *inserts hearts! 

It is placed in a recyclable black solid plastic container, totally sealed to prevent any contact moisture that might dedicate to any growth of moulds! 

I'll tell you generally what it does : 

Literally, the adsuki beans allows you to gently exfoliate your skin gives it a gentle scrub to remove the dead skin cells. Plus, the mint surely calms your face. Reduce redness, and acne! It certainly helped my breakouts! 

It double acts as a deep cleanser, like DEEEEEPPPPP CLEANSE ! Leaving your skin baby soft & squeaky clean! Well, at least on my skin ❤️❤️❤️

Applying it for the first time, I fell in love immediately! Like IMMEDIATELY! 

It smells amazing, totally reminds me of Chocolate Chip Mint icecream! It does smells like that although 'chocolate' isn't in the ingredient list, opps. 

If you're not a mint lover nor a chocolate-similar scent lover, you may pass on this. But this MOM surely gives this tingly sensation to the face & calms your face to reduce redness! 

Last but not least, after using MOM I do realise that I need to use my toner and then apply a good amount of moisturizer to my skin otherwise my skin will be flakey, especially around the nose area. 

PACKAGING : 10/10

TEXTURE : 9/10

SCENT : 10/10

OVERALL RATING : 9/10

I hope you enjoy this review & there are many more beauty related posts to come!

March.

It's March, the month of my 2nd Semester's Final Examination.

Which means, it's the month of struggles, stress, frustration & whatever you name it. Where as, due to stress our health might be on red light as well. For example, pimple/acne problem (yes, I've 'BOLD' it cause I know a lot of you would have the same issue!) , weight gained/ loss due to appetite & etc. 

Thus, I'm here to share some of my favourites whenever I'm in stress. 

A) Regarding to Skin Condition 

-this is what I will always do. 

1) Figure out your major breakout area. Whether it's due to stress, or your unhealthy diet.

 

2) Reduce junk food & soft drinks such as potato chips! Instead, substitute it with homemade fries, & tea!

3) Exercise. It'll boost up your metabolism & detoxification occurs in your body as you sweat ♥️.

As for myself, I have really enlarged pores around my nose area because I neglected important parts of my skin regiment - Toning & Moisturising. 

I was a lucky girl when I was gifted with a toner that is not selling in Malaysia. The Thayers Natural Remedies Astringment Peach Witch Hazel Toner!

Taa-daa! ✨✨✨✨✨

So hereby, I would love to thank @a_secretwhisper (Instagram) upon all the wonderful & marvelous gift that she gave me. 

Such a effective & wonderful toner, it minimises pores in just a few minutes & it has a pleasant yummy smell of peaches 🍑💕

& this is what I always do. Damp the cotton pad with the toner & layer around the needed area while revising or watching tv 😏✌️

Excuse my selfie, I know it's odd & whatever you name it. 

Just hoping the best for my final exams! Wish me luck ♥️❤️.

xoxo,

What's in my makeup bag?

A quarter of my makeup collection, & part of my normal makeup routine. 

p/s: i'm pretty sure that these products spent most of their time in my makeup bag!  

Some of my favourites :

Urban Decay's Naked2 Palette

- having all my favourite shimmering & matte colours, multiple choices of colour combinations for different looks.

The Body Shop's Bronzer

- my 2nd Bronzer, gives very light & natural effect for contouring simply with a light dust under my cheekbones. 

Benefit's Fake It Up concealer

-the best concealer I've had so far! It's has the just right texture for concealer, not so liquid-ish nor cream-ish. Perfectly conceals all your flaws! Especially puffy eyes & dark circles.

Maybelline's Mascara, Lip Balms & Gel Liner ( Stiletto Long & Hypercurl) 

- the best long & volume-ish lashes I could ever obtain by using this two affordable mascara

-Gel liner ; smudge free, waterproof & easy to apply!

-Lip balms, one of my favourite! Good scent & extremely moisturising! 

Canmake's Blusher

- my only blusher so far. My favourite warm pink toned base blusher, sadly the production line for this particular colour ended for some time now. It's one of my really limited edition collection now.

I posted up this photo in my Instagram as a submission to participate in Maybelline Malaysia's giveaway. While sharing all these in my blog, it's liked the first time.

I hope it was a good-brief-introduction of what's in my makeup bag !

Much love,
