Merry Christmas!

So another year is coming to an end. I have no idea where its gone or what I even did this year. I had an awesome Christmas party with my close friends, it was amazing, I cooked for nearly 2 days straight.

New purchases:
Rimmel Lasting Finish lipstick in #124 Bordeaux
Revlon Double twist Mascara

Milani Minerals Blush in Mai Tai

I am completely obsessed with this blush, its like the perfect matte combo shade of pink, berry and peach. Its so smooth and big and I'm not scared to wear it because its a mineral blush which makes it amazing. I've worn it almost practically everyday since i've gotten it.

Failed blogger alert!

So its been five months since I've written to the online world anything beyond 2 sentences. I apologize profusely.

I've bought and got to use so many items since then, so major bonus, I can do proper reviews. However, I think I should list down some things that I purchased so I don't forget

1. Elianto Duo lip tint
2. Elianto -random lip gloss
3. Elianto- black nail polish
4. Etude House- milk screw : berry and pink
5. Hiroscar Gel
6. Loreal Hairspray
7. Rimmel Lasting finish lipstick in Alarm
8. Loreal - Hair wax


And some random clothes and books. Before I forget, I chopped off the majority of my hair. Yeah, I use to be a super hippie, with long Loooooong hair. Now its right above my shoulders, kinda shaggy bob. But I kinda like it, I'm sorta getting use to using hair products and my boyfriend really likes it, so that's enough for me right?

Been away

One of my friends gave birth to a gorgeous baby girl and I've been trying to help out, so I haven't been able to blog or go on a crazy writing spree. I really need to get a laptop!

Etude House: Milk screw review

I really like this.



Packaging:
Smooth plastic redish-orange body with a long white cap. Twist up format. Not the most glamorous looking but still a cute girly looking product, it has kind of a flimsy feel to it at times, but it works pretty well for me. The product itself is probably the same size as a normal chapstick, its a flat top design like chapstick.

Smell:
It smells sweet and maybe a little citrusy. Its not like cookies vanilla sweet, I wouldn't describe it as mangos though, maybe there's a hint of mango that I'm not really detecting. I do like the smell and it taste alright too, the smell does go away once on the lips, atleast for me I can't really smell it.

Color:
Its a sheer pretty color, but I think it differs with skin tone and how pigmented your lips are. The packaging color the actual product color is very similar. Since it was the darkest color of the lot that I chose, its a mix of orange and red, leaning towards red more. On my skin it looks orange but on my lips it looks red. I love the color, it looks like I've been eating strawberry popsicles all day. Its a juicy delicious red, not too dark and it goes great with my skin tone. I think its perfect for those who are too scared to wear red on their lips, I think this is the perfect amount of red without looking to garish, because its so sheer it still looks like your natural lip color.
My boyfriend perfectly described it as makeout lips, you know after an intense makeout session, blood rushes to your lips giving it a deeper color, yeah this would be it.

Texture:
It says its a lip balm, but I'm not so sure. Its not completely moisturizing, it doesn't seem like its healthy for my lips, it has a waxy consistency. It feels better than gloss in the sense it doesn't slip and slide everywhere, but not as good as chapstick and regular lip balm. It does have a sheen to it, but not crazy glossy, it does feel better than lipstick, there are no sparkles or glitter, which I like.

Staying power:
2 hours max and it gradually fades away. Sadly it is not a long lasting product, especially if you're the type that licks your lips.

Overall:
Its a nice simple product for only 12-13 ringgit, I think its worth it, although I did buy it on sale for 10 something. I use it when I need color on my lips and lipstick would be too much for the occasion, I definitely think it's worth trying out.

Wandering KL

My friend was in town a few days back, and we did our usual round of shopping and eating and gabbing. I got a new Charles and Keith bag from her. Its black and bigger than what I usually tote around in terms of bag wear, but I actually like it, I prefer to wear it slinged, I think because it looks less posh and professional that way.

I'm not the type that walks around in pencil skirts and formal shirts, I think I own like 2 formal button down shirts, its not really me. I do like getting dressed up, but not in work wear. Anyways, so she was in town and we were eating up a storm, I probably haven't ate that much food in such a long time. But it was fun, she likes my rabbit, I think my rabbit is way too friendly, if that is at all possible. He goes up to strangers and licks them, not knowing whether they're dangerous or not.

I bought a few things whilst in KL. I went to the Face Shop and bought a bunch of nail polishes, since they were ONLY RM 2.90, so I think i bought like 5 of them. And I got some Pure Water Facial Mist from them too, it was like half off and I couldn't help it. I've been looking for a facial mist for awhile and I was looking for something that smelled good and the one I got is called Jeju flower, it smells pleasant and fresh. I was contemplating on getting the apple hand lotion, but my hand barely ever get dry, so I guess it would be silly of me to purchase it, even though it smelled sooooo good.

I saw the new Revlon Colorburst lipstick at Watson's but they didn't have any samples or try me pieces, so I just admired the pretty packaging and moved on.

I got 2 bikini bottoms from Warehouse for only 13 buck each, their original price was 78 and 89, so I'm really excited about them, sometimes Parkson's can have such great sale items.

I got a really cute cable knit short sleeved cardi from Forever 21, its so cute and it was on sale and it was beige, my favorite color.
