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 I would say apply a maroon lipstick to refresh a no-make-up look is just so cliche and almost outdated....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!!!! ;>

New Make Up + DIY Stranded Necklace !!!

Finally, I decided to make one of my own stranded necklace. I got inspired by a blogger LoveMegan and from reading tons of celebrity wearing it in magazine.

photo from In-style!

I like the longer version on Sandra as well as Lanvin w/ black ribbon at left corner. I started w/ my old 3-string pearl necklace bought at Discovery store and a black ribbon I-don't-remember-where-it-is-from.

Here we go!! DIY fun!!

Starting a fixed length which is flattering on you.


You basically are trying to tangle the ribbon in between pearl necklace!


I want to tie ribbons around my neck so I had to sew two ends on ribbons.
This way, I can always add new necklace or take off one to play w/ a new look by clip on.


Then I went out to Discovery shops again and found this awesome chain necklace for $9.
(Sorry I didn't know the photo is blurring. :( )


I also got some great idea from J Crew!!

Ta Da ~!!


Then I add one 14k gold w/ jade chain and two other necklaces bought at Loehmann's for $44.


One look of my new necklace. I love those cute tassels on one of the necklaces!


For different look, I can reverse to wear it.


I can adjust those inter-chains however I want since all necklaces clip on one and another.

................... Back to this morning!! ....................... Nude make-ups!! ....................

I went a little shopping w/ my girl.
Ilona is so big now and she enjoys to pose in front of camera very much!!


I bought YSL Rouge Volupte 2 n' Gloss pur 47.


w/o gloss, it is matte!



I also tried dash GOLDEN GLOSS 7 (orange glittering one) on upper lip later on.


After I applied Gloss pur 47 at only lower lip, while leaving upper lips alone!


Ta Da!!
My very nude make-ups!!
Eye shadow : Make up Forever color plum!


All foundation I applied today.
I love Make up Forever's HD concealer.
I only dash a little under my eyes and it instantly gives under-eyes a little highlight!

You know you probably see some girls applied "too much simmering or white power" under eyes trying to pop up the eye shadows but sometimes they applied too much. Then the look ends of horrible or too obvious w/ too thick foundation.

Well, this concealer has the same effect except it blends in w/ your skin and give a nature glow under eyes. You should try!!!!! :)

My ODJ!

• Black puffy shoulder dress (mom bought at Shanghai)
• RUGBY double buckle belt
• J Crew rusty rose gold rhinestone necklace
  

• Chanel two layered/two toned hosiery

I wore cuffed boots and carried Hermes Birkin today.


This pair of Chanel two toned hosiery are very strong, and it is very warm for it has two layers.

I probably should say "Good morning, girls"!!!!! :)
