Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet Hot Pepper

i love lip creams. so after seeing that Bourjois has a matte finish lip cream in hot red, i just had to get it!

this is 03 Hot Pepper

it is a bright red with more of an orange tone. it dries to a matte velvety finish, true to its name.

small and easy to apply applicator

♥♥♥

the texture is nice and non-drying

the color pay-off is great

it stains very well and lasts after a meal

convenient to reapply

xxx

the lipcream is not scented so it smells a tad weird

overall

i feel that at around $20 a pop, it's definitely worth a try!

Eye bag Makeup

FINALS HAVE ENDED. this semester was insane. yet it is the first semester which i felt i actually learnt anything of use. so that's good i guess. (●´∀｀●)

one thing from it was also eye bags. insane eye bags and dark rings.

so about eye bags, there is a new(?) trend in japan where makeup is actually used to enhance eye bags rather than conceal. and i was wondering why. how could eye bags possibly be great? so i tried it out.

Eye-bag Tutorial:

add off-white highlighter across eye-bag, creamy ones are better.

using a brown shadow that is about 2 shades darker than skin tone, swipe it on the crease. blend a bit but not too much else it just looks like eye rings.

since i already have eye bags, not that much of a difference. though strangely the eye bags which make a person look more tired does create the illusion of bigger eyes? (●￣(ｴ)￣●) since eye bags are part of the natural eye area, so extending/emphasizing the eye bags does make the eye proportionately bigger compared to the other features.

one side with one without. the left side of the picture is the side without, but uhm. i naturally have bad ones from the past month so yea.

with the lines drawn, it is quite significant! (」゜ロ゜)」

ok, end of post. hahaha. was just bored and curious about the trend. as strange as it sounds, it does make the eyes look bigggerrrr.

can't wait to read the books i just borrowed from the library. do you know the loan quota now is 12 books?! i went insane. lugged back 10 super heavy books with my groceries but so happy. hehh.

Black Nails

pastel nails got boring after awhile so i went and got some black polish! downside of black nails for me is that i look like a emo/goth kid since i wear black mostly to begin with. hahaha.

from black french which got boring in a day. so i added the zebra stripes. it was from a nail sticker, kind of an instant manicure with art. then the bling joined.

when the previous nails started chipping, i painted them full black. which looked dreary so i added some gold stripes. ahhh. i miss long nails!

Nail Polish Review - Liole (Blue Purple) & Etude House (Kiss of Fire)

so i bought a few new polishes from korea a couple weeks back and they finally arrived!

the Etude house - Kiss of Fire gradation set! my nails are quite short so i couldn't do more distinct gradients. i like that it took only 20 mins to get the nails looking more dressed up! i only did a coat each but i should most probably do 2 as they didn't show up too well. though the shine and glitter from just 1 coat was not too shabby!

3 mini bottles in a box. extremely portable.

the light peach was pretty on its own. so was the shimmery pink. the glitter didn't stay too well and needed repeated application though.

the Lioele - Blue Purple. the actual color is darker by a shade. extremely smooth application and it looks so creamy! i love these finishes. just 2 coats and its perfect. i was expecting to use 3 or 4 coats!

close to the actual color.

bought the Lioele - Mint Green one too! i suspect i will end up buying the entire series of pastels that they have since good pastels are hard to come by. hahaha. OPI has some which i like from the Shrek collection but OPI's consistency can be too thin at times. and i'm too impatient for >2 coats.
