Gone Crazy About Lipsticks!! Givenchy Limited Rouge Interdit Shine Lipstick!

I tested couple more lipsticks while purchasing another YSL rouge volupte 2 the other day and found an absolutely gorgeous "almost-flatters-everyone" nude color. :P

Ok, maybe I exaggerate it a bit but honestly, when I wear nothing on my face, I don't think the YSL rouge volupte 2 would really flatter my skin tone. It is such an opaque color and almost fully covers the real lip color, I would say a little bit eye shadows or eye liners goes along would complement better.

However, this limited edition Givenchy Pearl Shine lip color (sheer pearl shimmer) looks so natural and blends so well w/ my skin tone. This color gives all the attention to the full pout and my face still looks so nature and glowy because of the simmering effect from the lipstick. I would say apply a maroon lipstick to refresh a no-make-up look is just so cliche and almost outdated.... (no offense) lol. Why not give this a try!!!!

The pink ribbon is just too cute!

I should have a mod. shoot tomorrow w/ this pearl shine lip color on.

Every Sunday our whole family have to accompany my older daughter, Abby, to Los Gotes for her piano lesson. And I am glad there is a farmer's market every Sunday for us to kill a whole hour while awaits.

*sigh* Nowadays, all kids are prince or otherwise princess to every parent!!! lol

I seem to wear less and less my Chanel custom jewelry these days.....
well, since they are timeless, they would last then! :)

1. Top:

• RUGBY cotton w/ silk trim on ruffles dress
• Vince leather w/ over-sized collar jacket

2. Accessory:

• Echo cotton w/ metallic trim n' beads scarf
• Chloe orange Sally bag 08 s/s
• Chloe taupe/purple hue tall boots 09
• Chanel 08 s/s 3 pink camellia w/ gold trim necklace

I know I bought enough boots for this season...but there is always something more in my desire.

Such as Burberry lace up boots, or even Alexander Wang's!! :P

But for now I will be good!! In fact, I just turned down a good deal of buying a coveted Chanel 226 matte black reissue for $2300 from couple seasons back. Hum... I am still hoping a little vacation that we'd go Hawaii for Thanksgiving!!

Hope everyone is saving for their next dream vacation!!!! ;>

Fashion Obsession Of The Day: YSL Y Platform Booties

Hi Beauties!

Happy Monday!

Every now and then I like to post about stuff that is not makeup. And, one of my other favorite vain things is Fashion. I work in the industry and I really can't help but to ogle at the latest trends and celebrity styles.

Hence, my latest vain obsession, The YSL Y Platform Bootie! Aren't these the most gorgeous booties ever?!

Kim Kardashian has been spotted quite a few times in these and she wears them so well.












XOXO,

Products I have been loving...

I'm back! I couldn't help myself while I was away and found myself logging onto Chris' parent's computer to try and keep up to date with everyone's blog posts. I just about managed it. I hope you all had a a great weekend, mine was very busy and I kinda feel like I need another holiday!
So, on my return, I just wanted to let you know about a few products that have been getting me through the rainy, cold weather of late... Sebastian Taming Elixir - This frizz tamer contains Avocado Oil to smooth the hair and add shine. This product has been fantastic on those days when there's horrible misty rain and you often get a bit of frizz by the time you get indoors. I have been using two squirts of this elixir on damp hair then blowdrying it straight. It feels completely weightless and leaves no stickiness or residue. My hair looks shiny and smooth, even after being caught in damp weather. It has even sorted out any breakage that was visible at the roots and my hair looks alot healthier.

NUDE Advanced Smoothing Complex - If I had to compare this to an existing product on the market, then it would have to be the cult product from Estee Lauder, Advanced Night Repair Concentrate, which I have tried before. I loved that product but I love this even more because the results can be seen alot quicker and it's also cheaper. I have been using this product after cleansing and before moisturising every night. I always have to take extra care of my skin in winter as it can dry up very quickly. This product has helped to keep my skin super smooth and radiant. A little goes a very long way (one pump is enough to cover your whole face). It's a serum consistency and sinks into the skin immediately. It has made my skin feels silky soft and there are no dry patches to be seen!This is a winter essential for me!
Cosmetics A La Carte Face Final Powder (Vanilla) - This product could be compared to MAC MSF Natural in that it diffuses light to give a soft matte finish with a subtle glowiness. It's transparent and mineral based so it won't aggravate the skin in any way. It feels silky smooth and weightless and my makeup was set perfectly for the whole day without any cakiness at all. It almost creates a soft focus look to the skin which I love!

It comes with a cute little powder puff complete with a small pink bow. As cute as this applicator is, I prefer to use my kabuki brush to buff the product into my skin. The puff would be ok if you wanted to re-apply at any stage though. I used the Vanilla shade which is the medium one available. If you want a natural dewy but non-shiny finish to your makeup then this product is perfect.

Madara Eco Body Nourishing Cream - What with the cold dark nights drawing in, this is the time of year I like to slather myself in a rich, nourishing body moisturiser every night to cocoon my skin. I never have time to apply it in the mornings but by using a very rich product at night and shower oil by day, this seems to balance out my skin and keeps it soft and moisturised. My product of choice lately has been this Madara cream for dry to very dry skin. You know my love for natural and organic products and this cream contains natural plant vitamins, minerals, bioflavonoids and other biologically active substances to keep your skin super hydrated. The cream sinks into my skin leaving no greasiness (which is a pet hate of mine) and that's why it's becoming another one of my winter essentials.
