Buttery Lips

ColorBurst Lip Butter is one of the famous lines of Revlon. A lot of the beauty gurus in You Tube tried, tested and love these. And because of its amazing reviews , I tried to use one and whoalla!! I fell in love with these in an instant. These lipsticks are very hydrating with their pampering butter formula. It boosts lip moisture and with their gel formula, it just glides on lips smoothly. ColorBurst Lip Butter gives sheer coverage on one coating, but is build-able to give a medium to almost opaque coverage. I so love them!!!

Here are some of the shades I have in my collection and I am glad to say that my Revlon ColorBurts Lip Butters are more diverse than my MAC lipsticks. That is because I tend to chose what colors I love especially when spending much, but with these lip butters, I was able to explore more and I or we can totally do that because they are very affordable. The only downside about this lipstick is their packaging. I love that it is colorful, however, the cap is too long making only a small space for you to hold the base when opening it. Sometimes it is difficult to open and can be annoying. But then, the total quality of these lippies outweighs the mishap.

Anyway, here are my lovely lip butters!

First on my list is in Shade#053 Sorbet. This is a cool-toned fuchsia pink with a luminous finish. This color is great for summer!

Next, is my all time favorite daily lipstick. This one is in Shade#025 Peach Parfait. The color is perfect for my skin tone. This may appear peachy or orange to a lighter skin tone. It appears nude on me with some gold shimmer. And who would not love a perfect nude lippy?! This is one of them. 

This is a new purchase for me. When I saw this color all I could think is Autumn. It is a perfect pop-of-color shade for Fall season. This is highly pigmented in medium dark berry shade. This could be my new favorite for the upcoming season.

Up next is my new love. This is Shade#085 Sugar Plum. If not for my Lippy September, I will not be able to try this on. This was a free lip butter that came with my purchase. And, I am so lucky to have this shade. I would have not buy this shade off the rack because I was not a fan of its color, but then when I tired it on, It was love in first application, hehe! I love how it looked on me (vain me! nyahaha!) and is very lovely on my skin tone. Love, love, love!

Shade#095 Creme Brulee is a beautiful nude with a warm undertone. Although I looked wash in this color, I feel that this will be beautiful lip color to go with a dramatic eye makeup. 

Shade#080 Strawberry Shortcake is a light pink color with purple undertones. This appears like the MAC's Angel lipstick but with more shine on me. I feel like this could be a dupe of the said lipstick if opaquely applied on me. I love it! This was my lipstick for the Summer. 

To complete my collection is my red lip butter in Shade#035 Candy Apple. This is a warm coral-red that finishes off with a hint of shine. This color may appear bright to light or fair skin toned. Its warm undertone accentuates warm colored skin and I love that it did not came off as bright red on me, as reviewed by others. Not really my favorite lip butter, but I am pretty sure I can flaunt this color for night outs!

So that's it lovelies! I hope you enjoyed this segment of my Lippy September!

Stay beautiful!

MY LIPPY SEPTEMBER!

Hello gorgeous! I am back! 

I am making my whole month of September a lippy one. Everything will be all about our lips and keeping it healthy and beautiful. Also, I will be sharing to you my lipstick collection and my favorites.

So to kick off September, I am sharing some of my favorite MAC lipstick and their swatches so just you would have an idea on how the color would look. 

MAC Cosmetics or was called Makeup Artist Cosmetics, was founded in Toronto, Ontario, Canada by Frank Toskan Angelo in 1984. The company's product were initially specifically designed fro professional makeup artist but are now sold to consumers worldwide. It is now one of the most coveted and most collected makeup of all times.

Here are my lovely lippies...

Obviously, I love lipsticks! hehe! And MAC is one of the makers of some of my favorite ones.

Chatterbox is an Amplified Creme lipstick. This formula gives off a vivid burst of color, flawless finish and very moisturizing. Chatterbox is described as a bright red-pink in color. Being it in an amplified creme formula, the lipstick provided an intense color and opaque coverage upon first application. It easily glides on the lips and gives a smooth, glossy finish. This is one of my favorite finishes of MAC lipstick.

Candy YumYum is a fun, lovely neon pink matte lipstick. MAC is known for their matte lipstick, not only for their lovely colors, but also for their staying power. But, like all matte lipstick, this finish tends to dry lips. So, the trick for this type of lipstick to work, one must apply lip balm before the lipstick is applied. FYI: This is one of Kelly Osbourne's favorite lipstick.

Lovelorn is an emotive pink with blue undertones. It has a lustre finish. This finish is more sheer and very smooth to lips and very moisturizing. It gives some glossy texture as well, but might need retouching for some time. Their staying power is not that great. However, I so adore this color, it is the same color of my lips but of way better texture. This is very nice everyday lipstick. I soooo love it!

Another lipstick with lustre finish is Lustering. It is an outspoken pink, darker than lovelorn. This is also one of my favorites. I love the finish, love the color too!

Please me is a muted-rosy-tinted pink lipstick with a matte finish. You'll get the exact color pay-off you see in the tube. Very lovely lipstick. Even though it is in matte finish, it is not drying at all. This is highly pigmented and longer-lasting, making it a lippy staple in my bag.

This lipstick is my latest purchase at MAC. It is a matte cool red lipstick from their Riri Collection. I have been wanting to get one of this since the day they got released, however, it was immediately sold out. Good thing that they released another set of it and it was worth the wait. This lipstick even has Rihanna's signature (see above pic). I so love this lipstick--makes me feel bold and confident! However, I suggest use of lipliner for a cleaner and smoother edge. This is my go-to party lipstick.

Angel, oh my! This is a soft pink color in frost finish. A lot adores this lipstick and I totally understand why. It has some iridescent to it making it appear glossy and/or shiny, very moisturizing, glides perfectly on lips and the color is to die for. No wonder it is one of Kim Kardashian's favorite lipstick. I love to wear this lipstick when wearing smokey eyes. Love! Love! Love!

Lastly, but definitely not the least, is Viva Glam Nicki in satin finish. It is a bright pink with yellow undertones. This is a limited edition, with Nicki Minaj, a hip-hop diva, joining forces with MAC in helping women, men and children living with and affected by HIV and Aids. Every cent paid for lipstick with red-color border in the case goes to the said cause. Amazing isn't it?! Us helping while staying beautiful. I do believe in this cause, and for sure this will not be my last Viva Glam lipstick.

Obviously, I love pink lipstick. From my choice of lipstick from above, most came in pink color. And, I did not notice that until I was editing these pics for posting, lol! Oh well, that is good to know, so I would know which color to explore more in the future.

I hope you enjoy reading my blog... as always, this is sealed with a kiss! mwahhh! 

Stay beautiful!

GLOSSYBOX June 2013 - American Beauty

The June Glossybox came late, but I did not mind at all, especially after receiving it. I love it so much!!!

Here are what I got...

This month they gave us a special box. Color is white with an illustration up front by it-girl illustrator and style expert Dallas Shaw. Lovely!

This is C. Booth's Honey Almond Nourishing Dry Oil Mist. I have not really tried this but I am excited to try it. This will really be great for summer. This spray has an elegant, nourishing oils that absorb quickly into skin to smooth and soften while providing hydration. This is supposed to be lightweight for face and body that imparts a light, lasting glow for instant radiance. It is also infused with a sweet blend of honey and almond.

Another product they include is from Philip B. It is a pH Restorative Detangling Toning Mist for the hair.  I have not tried this too. But anything detangling is a holy grail for me. I will let you guys know how it feels when I get to try this.

Next is the Oscar Dela Renta's Essential Luxuries. This is a tailored line of six unique scents imbued with Dela Renta's love of beauty and luxury. All of this smells good, really luxurious! 

Here are my favorites from the box... first is Tarte's Complexion Enhancing Lipstick. I love tarte! I love their eyeshadows, eyeliners and most especially their blushes and I don't mind adding lipstick in my collection. This lipstick is unique in a way that it gives a total lip therapy in a beautiful nude shade. It is so creamy and this have a glossy, tinted core that gives sheer color giving the appearance of a fuller, healthier and luscious lips.

Another favorite of mine is the Sparitual Favorites Nail Polish. Mine came in Kiss the Cook color and it is lovely! I cannot wait to try it.

Overall, I am happy with this month's beauty box. And this makes me excited for next month's box! Weepee!

Stay beautiful!!!

June Favorites

Hello guys! This blog is long overdue, so without further ado here are my favorite stuffs for month of June! I honestly have a lot of things to share to you as my favorite, but I cut it down to seven, my favorite number, which is not easy at all. Still, I tried! 

DKNY bag from their "Poetic Rebellion" line 

I got this gorgeous bag from Marshalls in much cheaper price. I have been carrying it the whole month of june and I super love it! It is spacious, can carry all my musts and most of all I love the summery color. Moreover, my hubby paid for it, nyahaha! Thank you so much langga!

To tame and care for my mane, I am loving this Pantene Heat Protection Spray. Not only does it protect my hair from from using hair dryer and iron, it also leaves my hair soft and frizz-free.You should try this!

I love makeup! And june would have been incomplete without it. For this hot season, BB cream is a must! Not only is it light and gives sheer to medium coverage, but also it has SPF 35 that protects you from harsh rays of the sun. Not only that! It is first and foremost moisturizing! Love, love, love!

Smashbox BB Cream in light medium

Another hit for me is the Milani Baked Powder Blush in Corallina. I am a fan of Milani's baked blush and this color is just perfect. This blush is highly pigmented, finely milled and long lasting. Corallina, as its name says, this color is a beautiful coral with slight shimmer in it. This gives my cheeks a gorgeous glow without me looking like a disco ball, hehe! This for me is a must have for summer!

Milani Baked Blush in Corallina or #08

Urban Decay Lip Junkie in Naked

I am in love with Urban Decay's lip junkie in Naked. This is my favorite among my lip glosses. It gives your lips a shine without the sticky feeling. It is minty too. Very addicting!!! I only have this in sample size that came with their Naked Palette. I am definitely getting the full size of this in all colors (after 2 OTs, nyahahah!).

I was all lippy last june! Here is another fave for my lips. Another must-have is the Lush Lip Scrub in Mint Julips. Love it! My lips have been cracking during the change of season from spring to summer. This lip scrub has been a saving grace for me. This is a minty sugar scrub that keeps my lips perfectly soft at all times. And to complete the lip service, I apply me fave lip balm, the Lush lip balm in Honey Trap. This gives vanilla honey kisses to my hubby, hehe!

So these are my lovely seven! What are yours? I hope you enjoyed my blog!

Stay beautiful!!!

What's in my MUB (makeup bag) for Work?

Basically, I have two make-up bags, one for work, and one for my daily purse or bag. Due to some restrictions at work, we are only allowed to bring clear bags. So, I also got myself a clear makeup bag!

This clear makeup bag is a gift from my hubby. This bag came with travel brushes from MAC's winter collection. So lovely! This has been a staple to my work bag and it houses my fave makeup for work. From my pervious blog, you would see my most used makeups for work, and I bring those with me to work just in case I need it. But for most of the time, I only get to use the powder to mattify my face back and lip gloss during work. I am most of the time busy, no time for touch ups unfortumately. Still, I bring this with me everyday at work.

So, what is in your MUB for work? I would really love to hear from you... Thank you for passing by my blog.

Have a great day! Stay beautiful!
