Nanny Rose's Queen Bee Lip Balm in Raspberry Cheesecake

When i received a sample kit from Nanny Rose, this is actually the first that i opened. The words "four slices of raspberry cheesecake" on the box just screams at me! haha!

Everyone likes cheesecakes, ne?
Oops! I remember, i know someone who doesn't like cheesecake. hehe

Let's get back...
Presenting Nanny Rose's Queen Bee Lip Balm in Four Slices of Raspberry Cheesecake.. boy! that is long!

Feel free to read the description...

Hmmm.... honey & raspberry sounds like something that would be able to send you to the land of sweet treats!  It is a non-colored balm on a tin pot.

When you pop it open, you'll be greeted by the scent of raspberries bagging you to quickly apply it on your lips. I did, closed my eyes & inhaled it & was entranced by the sweet scent of raspberries!

I'm not sure about the cheesecake though but at that point, i don't care the pure scent of raspberries are engulfing me on a quick trip to a raspberry farm! There i was, imagining myself happily humming & skip-hopping with a basket of raspberries just by the scent of this.

OMG!
I highly recommend this to whoever like their lip balms scented. I am not really a fan of scented lip balms but this one is something that i could forgive. It stays on your lips but not something that would give you a migraine. If you pout your lips every now & then you might get a whiff of it.

It's not that waxy, which is ok.
It has that little waxy feeling but since you get to control the amount you put on your lips so it's not that big of a deal compare to tube balms.

As for it being moisturizing... i'm not sure. I have said before that the reason why i never did like using lip butters & a few selected lip balms is that it doesn't really provide any "moisturization" on my lips. What it does is locks in any moisture that was on my lips, making sure that it won;t evaporate leaving my lips dry. I think this is the same with this product.

It locks in the moisture on my lips, sealing it in place, but not really hydrating it.
Here are the ingredients:

No colorants, parabens, phthalates & sulfates free!
Yay for products that are natural!

I never did like lip products that are in a pot. I find it unhygienic all because you would have to use a separate lip brush just to get it. You can use your fingers but i think you risk contaminating it if you have dirty hands. But of course, this is just my personal preference.

If you like raspberry scents, natural products & do not mind balms in pot then i would recommend this for you.
I'm sorry but i'm not sure how much this is. i'll check it once i go to Watsons, but i'm sure that it will be worth your money since you don't need to apply much. A pot contains 10g of it compare to ordinary tube balms which would contain less.

PROS:

• locally made & easily available in Watsons
• the scent is nice & not overwhelming
• tiny packaging but boasts 10g of product!

CONS:

• not hydrating enough for me
• a bit waxy but not disturbing
• no spf

Will i buy it?
Nah, i think this pot is enough for me.
A little goes a long way for this product. it lasts for a long time even with you drinking & eating.

They have a waxing kit too. I also have it & has been testing it.
I'm not sure if i like it though so it will take me a while before i can have my final say on it. I'll do a post about it sometime soon.

Hope you all are having a great Monday!
Jaa ne~!

Etude House Apricot Sticks Review

First product review for this year.. albeit, a short review. hehe

I got this when i won Milk & Cookiie's giveaway.
I have been seeing this on Etude House because of the packaging though i have to say that i wasn't really interested to start with. But it's not that bad once you start using it.

The packaging is so cute,right?

It comes in a twist-able pen that reminds me a lot of my "crayola" jumbos! haha. The kid in me is still very much alive because whenever i pass by the school supplies section of the bookstore i would squeal with all the beautiful colors surrounding me. Actually i love the scent of new crayons... same with new books... new lunchboxes & everything new!

hahahaha!
That's why i'm always excited about the first days of school.

Moving on, the shades that i have are # 8 (red) & #2 (pink). I know that it has 8 shades in all. You'll see the shade on the sticker label on the cap so you might want to keep the sticker for future reference.

I won't call these as lipsticks because they seem more like a tinted lipbalm. It doesn't feel waxy which is good & it has a nice fruity scent.

I'll start first with the pink one... #2.
Here is how it looks like when swatched. It is a cute bubblegum pink!

Unfortunately, since my lips are pigmented the colors doesn't show that much but if you have pale lips then this would look great on you!

Then this is the red one.. #8
Here's how it looks like when swatched. Doesn't that look nice?

Now this is more like it!

It's pigmented enough to give my lips a nice flush of color with just one swipe!

I have to say that compare to the ordinary lip balm packaging, this would be bigger but the color selection for this line is better. I won't say that this is actually moisturizing because i have not really found a lip balm/butter that is actually moisturizing but this locks in moisture so you're sure that your lips won't chap/dry out once you use it. I would recommend this over ordinary colorless lip balms though.

Sadly, this one doesn't have sun protection but is still a nice product to try.

It's priced at Php 198 each & is available at Etude House.

PROS:

• not waxy
• smells nice
• locks in moisture
• you can easily tell the shade based on the packaging
• locally available
• different shades available

CONS:

• no SPF
• packaging is a bit bulky as opposed to the usual balms

Will i buy it?

Sure, I'll browse the selection of Etude House for this line to see what colors would look good for my pigmented lips.

Have you tried this?

What's your favorite tinted lip balms?

Hope you are enjoying your weekend!

Ever Bilena Pro Longwear Lipstick in Polish

It's no secret that i'm a lipstick whore.
If there is one make-up that i can't live without it would, no doubt, be a lipstick.

There's just something about having your lips all dolled up even if the rest of your face is not yet even 'done'. I'm not a brand snob, though i admit that i do love mac lipsticks... actually, only 2 finishes from them, the amplified cremes & satins. But it doesn't mean that i do not check out other lipsticks out there because i do.

This is one lipstick that i am currently loving at the moment. I'm really glad that the color really suits me! I have to thank Maggie because i wouldn't have known that they already have pro longwear lipsticks until she made a post about it.

 Let's get to know my current favorite!

You can just click that to read the description from the packaging.

I can't remember how many shades they have in the pro longwear because i can't find any info on their Facebook page. The only info i can find is about the Mutya ng Pilipinas & other pageants....

Geez! I don't have anything about posting their events but i just hope that they would at least put information about their products/collections at least.
*sigh*

The only album that they have that i think really focused on their product is the EB mousse album!
Tsk!

I remember that they have shimmery ones, this i think is the only one that has the least shimmer so i decided to get it. I'll edit this post once i go back to the mall to ask their sales ladies again.

Then this is the ingredient list....

When they said designed to be worn on it's own, i did try wearing it without any lip balms & i'm happy to report that it didn't gave me that 'numb' feeling, unlike how i felt when i first tried MAC Red. So it already made an impact from there..haha!

Well, the packaging looks nice at least & it's sturdy.
It's light but not too light that it would fly out of your hand by just merely blowing air on it.

I like that it really seals shut when i put the cap. You can hear the "click shut" noise that indicates that the cap would really stay. It would be a pain if the cap would fly out accidentally while inside your purse, drawing half the contents of your bag (& worse your purse too!) with your very own lipstick.

I got the shade in Polish & this is how it looks like in the tube.

Looks gorgeous,huh?!

Here is how it looks like when swatched....

Maybe you'll asked me what is the one on top. It's the same swatch that i applied 24 hours before the newly swatched one (which is the one at the bottom, of course!).

My thoughts on Pro Longwear...

I think it just depends on what activities you really do before you could say that a certain lip product is long lasting. I mean, if you keep on eating & licking your lips, then there's no way that a lipstick could last on you even for 2 hours. If you don't do a lot of 'lip action' then it would last long on you. That's it.

There are some tricks that you can do to make a lipstick last so if you will be able to really take your time in applying your lipstick, i think anything could last (except sheer & glossy finishes) for a while. Drier lipsticks would tend to last longer than creamier/wet ones so i can understand why the consistency of this lipstick is somewhat thin.

But you will just ask me if this lasts longer than others, yes, it does.
Why?
One thing, it's really pigmented.

The swatched that i did was just swiped once. See how gorgeous it already looks like with just one swatch, to think that this is not really a frost finish but i like how "buildable" the color is. The more you pack it in, the more likely it will stay on your lips.

It has shimmers but not too shimmery, at least it doesn't really feel too chunky on the lips though which is good. I guess im just used to Mac lipsticks because mac has that creamy-feel to it every time i use it, which i like because it feels like it's locking in the moisture on my lips. While this one, is not really waxy but it just feels flat on my lips. But it doesn't look flat, ok? The hint of shimmers that it has gives the lips a dimension.

Forgive me, ladies, i just can't quite describe the texture. It's a bit thin & waxy but not the bad type of waxy feeling, because if this is waxy there's no way i would be using this no matter how beautiful the color is.

Anyway, that is when worn alone. But i guess that you will not really wear this alone,ne?
It's still preferable to prep your lips by moisturizing it before hand. Apply lip balms before anything else.

That's the only 'con' for me, but, again, i can easily solve it by just simply applying a lip balm before application.

I love how this color lights up my face without even putting any foundation on. I just have to fix my brows & im ready to go!

Let's summarize it
PROS:

• locally available
• very affordable - Php 155 each
• different shades to choose from
• very pigmented
• nice packaging - looks very professional

CONS:

• feels waxy when worn alone
• not available internationally

Will i buy it?
Yes, of course!
Im not a fan of shimmers so if they have shades that are not too shimmery, i will definitely buy it!
^_^

So, have you tried the Pro Longwear line of Ever Bilena?

Hope you all are enjoying your thursday!
Jaa ne~!

Pucker up~! Red Lips please!

I know a lot of girls who shy away from red lipsticks thinking that it's too lethal to be used...haha! LOL!
Seriously?!

I know that most men also have an aversion to red lipsticks... how can that be?!... when they revere Megan Fox, Dita Von Teese & Marilyn Monroe?!
What the?!

They keep on saying that "it looks so slut-ish"...
*rolls eyes*
It's because they always equate it as RED LIPS=KISSING. They find it too sensual & since men are visual creatures, the color just drives them over the edge thinking of carnal thoughts.
Tsk! mga lalake talaga,o! (Tsk, guys really...)

It's all in the mind, peeps!
Just count 1 to 1000000000000 so that you'll be able to stay away from bad thoughts..hehe.

Good thing that Walter doesn't mind if i don red lips.
Anyway, i asked him before about it & he said even if he doesn't want me to wear reds, will i stop?
I said "NO!"...he said "I figured, so i just didn't bother to say so. Anyway, you look good in red lipstick."
Hahahaha! LOL!
Napilitan lang ata sabihin yun e! (Looks like he was just forced to say that!)

I personally love red lipstick.
I think every woman has to have at least one red lipstick.
It's just like a black dress... It's a classic & will never go out of fashion!

Since i love them, i do try to wear it as much as i can.
I learned from experience that applying red lipstick could be quite tricky & very unforgiving. Depending on how you apply it, it can make or break your look. A tiny red flick above your natural lip line can be very obvious so you have to take proper care when you go all-out in using red lipsticks.

I personally don't use lip liners.
I find that there are some lip liners that look quite different with the lipstick shade that i have. I just use a lip brush in making sure that the edges are equal.

I'm sure that everyone has their way of applying lipsticks. This is just how i apply mine...
Step by step tutorial of how i achieve red lips without using lip liners. I'm not a professional, i'm just a red lipstick-lover sharing a couple of things that i think might be handy for some girls... a couple of tips that i picked here & there might be helpful.

Let's start...

This is how my bare lips look like.

Pretty pigmented & it's quite hard to figure out where is the exact edge of my lip line that's why i can sort of play with my lip shape. I can make my lips a bit wider by extending the color just a bit or make it smaller by applying lip concealer for a more defined/clean look.

But it's not easy...it's almost always a hit or miss so i take a long time trying to achieve a perfect lip shape.

Lip Balm is very important especially if you are planning to use a matte lipstick. It will zap the moisture from your lips so make sure you prep your lips not just before lipstick application but hours before.

MAC Lip Conditioner 

In my case, i moisturize my lips every night by applying lip balm after i brush my teeth or if my lips are extra dry then i slather in a thick coat of Nivea Creme over my puckers. Always works like a charm!

Apply a thick coat of lip balm because it will help make the process of exfoliating the lips easier.

Just use wet tissue & gently rub you lips with a circular motion to remove any remaining dead skin.

I prefer to use wet tissue compare to toothbrush because there's not risk of accidentally poking your lips with any bristles that might result in nicks or any wounds. I am clumsy so it's better to cut any risk of a lip wound...hehe

Then apply lip balm again to prep your lips.

In this case, i'll use a concealer so that it would be easier for me to decide how i want to shape my lips. I also make sure that i blot the excess out because it could result in lipstick bleeding. I would just want to create a nice, even, neutral base for my lipstick to adhere to.

If you already have a well-defined lips then good for you! You won't have to go to the trouble of thinking how you want your lips to look like & taking a long time just defining it.

Benefit Gilded 

I, then, apply a highlighter on my cupid's bow & also on the center of my lower lip line.
Highlighting this area will give an illusion of a rather 'pouty' lips. I prefer to apply my highlighter under my color so that it would look natural.

I blend it downwards using either a brush or just my finger...

Beauty Treats Matte Lipstick in Hot Gossip 

Using a lip brush is the key point in being able to achieve a well-defined lip without any lip liners so make sure you keep a lip brush,ok?

I trace the line of my lips using the brush, also on the inside of the sides as well using light feathery strokes.
This is something that i notice when i watched Moulin Rouge & Nicole Kidman has that very obvious space between her upper & lower lip. I think it just breaks the over all look of donning red lipstick.

I find that tracing the shape by not smiling works a lot better because i get to see the shape of my lips as to how it's supposed to be. If i line my lips by stretching it, i tend to have uneven shape when i pucker up or when my lips are just relaxed. So i trace my lip shape while my lips are just relaxed.

When you are done defining your lip shape, then it's time to fill in your whole lip with the color remaining on your brush. You won't need to dip your brush again on the lipstick.. anyway, you'll be blotting it out so it would just be a waste.

Just lightly run your brush back & forth on your lips while smiling so you get to fill in any crevices with color. The point of this is to give your lips a nice even stain from the lipstick. It would serve as a foundation for the color & will make your lipstick last longer.

With a tissue, blot your lips.

Taking out the excess color of your lipstick...

... leaving you with a very nice stain.

Time to reapply your lipstick!

In this case, you can apply it straight from the tube if you want to.

Trace the shape of your lips once more using your lip brush.
I think light feathery strokes would be the best way in achieving a well-defined shape. Most often than not, a straight application tends to not be straight so it's better to just do it gently.

Basically you are done.
If you want your lipstick to last longer, a couple of women apply a powder on top of their lipstick.

In my case, i'll finish mine with gloss for now...

MAC Dazzleglass in Stop! Look!

Instead of applying it with the applicator that's included, i just put it on the back of my hand then use my lip brush. The thought of putting the applicator back on the bottle with red lipstick from my lips is not appealing.
It's better to just use the lip brush that you used since it's harder to sanitize applicators compare to brushes.

Think you're done?
Nah-ah!
You have to do the most important part of all....

You don't want to ruin your look with horrendous lipstick stain,right?

Smiling with lipstick stain is just plain ugh!
Major turn-off!

So what do you do?
Do the finger pop!

This is something that you always have to do whenever you go on with bright lipsticks!
You'll save yourself from any embarrassment caused by lipstick stain.

Once you are done with everything it's now time to flash your brightest smile & dazzle the people around your with your sexy red lips!

I am not in the mood to do a full make-up now so i'll finish this post with 2 of my past pictures with red lipstick on.

I used MAC Red in these pictures.
I love it so much that i can't believe i'm almost out of it!
I sure hope that this shade is not limited edition because i fairly remember not seeing it on the rack of MAC stores here....

Red Lipstick definitely speaks for itself.
There's something about red lipsticks that can make you feel sexy. You ought to try it to know what i'm talking about!

Extra tips:

• If you want an extra oomph you can apply highlighter not just on the cupid's bow but also on the plump/center part of your lips too! (lower & upper lip)
• If you don't have a lip concealer, then i think applying foundation just on the side of the lips can work as well. You're not really concealing your lips but more on just creating a neater base for your lip shape.
• I find that gently patting on the lipstick over & over straight from the tube on the second application makes the lipstick stay longer. It's just like packing the color on your lips!
• If you don't like that too-defined shape look then lightly smudge the edge of your lips for a softer look.
• It's been said that if you apply your lipstick vertically it would be able to hide your lip lines (i'm just not sure about this)
• Your red lipstick is too bright for you? Tone the color down by applying a bit of brown lipstick on it.

Don't be afraid to wear reds.

It's made for you!

In fact i think it makes the teeth appear whiter if you put on red lipstick. I have naturally yellow-teeth but i feel that my teeth gets hundred times whiter with red lipstick on unlike pinks.

So pucker up & unleash the inner vamp in you!

What's your favorite red lipstick?
Mine is still MAC Red...

Have a great day!

Etude House Miss Tangerine Follow Me Tint

A long overdue post!

I purchased this way back when the Miss Tangerine Collection of Etude House was released. I almost forgot to do this review because i seem to have misplaced it.hehehe. I know it was here in my room but i just didn't exactly know where it is! LOL! Good thing my mum found it a couple of days ago.hehe

I didn't really have a plan to purchase anything from this collection but i just thought that this one is interesting because this is one of those that changes as you apply, or so what the SA said.

This is the description at the back... sorry if it's blurry. Took this picture ages ago & i already threw the box!

It's good that it has SPF 13,ne?

The packaging looks pretty nice,right?
But all those dots will disappear due to everyday wear & tear. I know because mine doesn't even have any dots left on it!LOL!

This is how it looks like...

That orange balm looks unique. It might look quite scary at the tube but it's quite sheer. It's very wearable that almost everybody can wear it!

This is how it looks like when swatched...

See the color change after 10 minutes?
It really does change! It will be rosier as it sits on the skin but not to the point that it will go red. Just from orange-ish to pink-ish.

See?
The change is quite subtle for me because my lips are pigmented but for those whose lips are not pigmented, this would be very lovely!

I like the texture because it doesn't leave a waxy feeling that is quite gross in a way. It feels quite light. I will not say that this is hydrating but it does a decent job of locking in the moisture & adding a hint of moisture in a way... as long as it's still there.

But it won't really adapt to your lip color because it will just have 1 color.
It just depends on how pigmented your lips are. So again, the more pigmented your lips are the more subtle the change in the color is (like mine). As for it claiming it as "changes shade according to your passion", i think that's just a false advertising.

Mood changing products?!

Will it change to black if i'm fiercely mad?

Will it change to red if i am feeling passionate?

Will it change to pink if i'm feeling happy?

Will it change to blue if i'm feeling sad?

Will it change to green if i'm feeling more "eco-ey"?

I tried wearing this when it's hot or cold, mad or sad, happy or glad but it's just the same so please, give us ,consumers, a break with such claims! We're not daft!

This is not really a groundbreaking product but i think in a way it's quite unique. An orange lip balm? It's quite a novelty if i may say so.

On which, i know Etude House has another Follow Me Tint in Vary Pink which is a teal-colored balm. 

Does anyone know if it's available here in the Philippines as well?

As always, i'll leave the price for you to decide whether it's a cheap or not.. It's sold as Php 298 per tube.

PROS:

• has SPF 13
• no waxy feeling
• cute packaging
• locally available
• really changes color but still very wearable
• leaves a nice stain on the lips

CONS:

• will not change depending on your mood

Will i buy it again?

Nah. One tube is enough. 

But if the Vary Pink Follow Me tint is available here i might purchase it.

Post-acne picture...

told you, i purchased this way back!

June is finally over!

June was a terrible month for me! I'm hoping that July will be a better one!

Hope you'll have a relaxing weekend,hunnies!

Ever Bilena Love That Red & Off Beat Pink Lipsticks

I love red lipsticks!
I think a lot of you knows that. I like how quick & easy it gives you that made-up look without going to the trouble of doing your eye make-up.

When i spotted this on the department store i just said to myself that i ought to try matte lipsticks again. I used to have Ever Bilena in Skin but i gave it to my grandma. Since it's very affordable i decided to get 2.

Matte Pink & Matte Red...

What can  say?
They're matte... They are drying so you would need to make sure that you hydrate your lips before you go to sleep (if you plan to use this the next morning-especially if you have the type of lips that chaps like crazy!) & also use a moisturizing lip balm underneath.

The swatch of course...

Then on the right side of the pic, i applied a gloss over it so you'll see how gorgeous it looks with gloss on. I used MAC Dazzleglass Rags to Riches.

I'm not really into matte pinks because i notice that me using a light colored lipstick in matte formula just makes the chapping of my lips too obvious it looks like a real disaster so i don't really reach for this lipstick as often as i do for the Love That Red shade.

The Love That Red would leave you with a great reddish even tint so even if it's gone it won't too that. Hey, i tried wearing some red lipsticks before without any retouch & it just doesn't look that nice for the edges of your lip would still have color but not the real lip. I look horrendous!

I would like to be able to post a whole face pic but i notice that lately my face has this redness on it & i don't have a green primer at hand to cover it up so i'm sorry ladies.

I'll just use these in my next eyelook posts then i'll link it up.

For only Php 99 ($2) a pop, you get a decent matte lipstick with a pretty nice pigmentation. I know that they have a couple of neutral shades but for some reason some color just doesn't compliment me. I think these 2 are the only ones that called my name.

PROS:

• locally available
• affordable
• great pigmentation
• locally made so designed specifically for filipinas!

CONS:

• can make your lips dry (make sure you apply a lip balm underneath)
• might not be available internationally

Will i buy again?
If there would be a nice shade that would compliment me, why not?!
^_~

Have you ever tried Ever Bilena lipsticks?
Any favorites?
How about matte lipsticks?

Enjoy the day,sweeties!

MAC Talk: Creme D' Nude & Speak Louder

I am so excited today because i got 2 new MAC lipsticks. I woke up extra early just so to be able to be take it home with me as early as possible & start swatching. I have heard so much of these shades & had high hopes for them. Well, at least one of them is really great, but not the other one.

Yep, Speak Louder & the much raved about Creme d' Nude.
Speak Louder is L-O-V-E!
I am in love with this lipstick! I'll tell you more about it later.

I have said before that finding a good nude lipstick is hard because what works for one might not work for the other. That is exactly the same with Creme d' Nude. I have high hopes for this lipstick which seems to be well-liked by a lot of girls. Sadly, it just doesn't work for me.

The obligatory swatch...hahaha! That's just one swipe each.

This is how it looks like on my lips...

I think Speak Louder can suit most skin tones. It is a perfect go-to lipstick. If you are not yet bold enough to don red lips, then go for a pink one! It's actually a bit hard to really capture the beauty of this lipstick, MAC defines it as "Clean Poppy Blue Pink" though i don't know what the heck poppy blue pink means.

I know the poppy flower, but i thought poppies are somehow reddish or yellow/orange-ish?! What's with the "clean" word? I mean, i know there's dirty white... is there a dirty pink? Isn't it classified as old rose?! Anyway, whatever the description is, i would just classify it as a bright pink. It's very wearable that you can don it from day to night!

It can give you an instantly brighter look! You don't believe me? Let the picture speak for itself...

This is me without any make-up on my face. I just swiped this on my lips twice & i'm all done!
Yes, my acne is gone now!
I still have a few marks & blemishes left, but i can now go out without applying any foundation on! I am soooooo happy!

Going back, see how Speak Louder made me look almost-ready to brave the world without bothering to apply any other make-up.

Now, Creme d' Nude is a different story...

It gave me that cadaver-look! Eeeekkkkk!!!!! What the effffff???!!!!!

Pardon the pose, i tried taking a picture of it while smiling but it just made me look so fugly that i tried other poses so that it won't look half as bad with the smiling one & this is by far the "best" among the ugly bunch..hahaha! Anyway, what you are looking at is the lipstick,isn't it? XD

I read that this is perfect for NC20 & since i am a NC20 so i got myself one, but then it's one of the worst move that i made in buying lipsticks! This would only be good for those that doesn't have pigmented lips. My lips are quite pigmented, using this alone will result in it looking patchy & awful. I applied lip concealer underneath to show the true color & it's so muted that it even "muted" my lips out!
LOL!

MAC described it as "pale muted peach beige", i agree with the description. It's a pale peach beige that muted my lips out making me look like i don't even have lips for it washed it out! Definitely not for me! The only way i can make this work for me is if i'm going to top it off with a colored gloss, but since i'm not really a fan of gloss as starters, the chances are quite dim.

I said before that i love Dazzleglasses but i don't see myself buying another one to be used exclusively together with Creme d' Nude! *sigh*
Blankety is still THE nude lipstick for me.

These are my first Cremesheen finish & i am liking it. I love Amplified Cremes & also Satins but since i like the texture of Speak Louder, i think i would have to look into Cremesheens more. No more nude shades from Cremesheens or Lustres. I have tried it & it just doesn't work on me. I'll just go into deeper/brighter colors only.

I'm not sure if i am going to keep Creme d' Nude or just add it up on my blogsale though.

Anyway, at least Speak Louder made up for the disappointment that Creme d' Nude caused me. It just made me 10x prettier with it on!hahaha!

Next lipstick on my list now is Pink Nouveau then NARS Schiap...
I have to find the best pink shades!
I think my wallet is already cringing in fear already because of my plans..LOL!

Hope you are enjoying your evening/day,guys!
Jaa ne~!
