Nyx round lipstick

20120706-011205.jpg

I heard so much about this that I had to get one. The swatch on my hand with the tester looks really good. Its nude beige with a little shimmer. Pretty opaque and the name its cute; summerlove, it's just perfect for sunny Singapore. It glides on my hand smoothly too. So I bought it and tried it.

While I loved the color on my hand, it doesn't suit me at all. It made my lips look pale. While it is easy to apply, the color crack on my lips. It just made it like I have dry lips. Plus it became more pink than nude. Like frosted light pink, something Nicki Minaj would wear in her music video or like those girls from the future (where they wear white wigs and white everything).

It's really sad that I can't use this. Especially how I actually like the smoothness of it. Maybe if I got it in different shade. Hmm. Nevertheless, I did try to do something with my make up to pull off using this lipstick. The only thing that work is when I tried the frosted look. Light, tan, smokey and pale. Ok, it doesn't really make sense, but I don't know how to describe it. Well just think futuristic look but more earthy.

So final thoughts, I really like the lipstick but not the color.

Givenchy Le Rose Perfecto Lip Balm

This is in the shade 201, creamy and a hint of light milky pink. I like that it is pretty, but the shade doesn't really suit me. What I like best is that they can engrave your name on the packaging. So it is pretty. 

Yves Rocher Organic Vanilla

Christmas set right here. Love the scent. It's like a perfume vanilla. Not like vanilla extract but still quite good. I don't know, there is just something about it that makes me like it. So this set comes with 3 item. The shower puff, gel and lotion.  Silky Lotion is quite a watery lotion. I so used to squeeze bottle from TBS that this feels weird. The plastic is harder, so can't really clamp between my fingers. But the lotion flow out nicely. It's liquid-like and easy to apply. Sometime it feels like pour out to much. I guess also cause the opening is quite big. Blends into the skin and absorb quickly. Doesn't makes the skin feels sticky. Really good. Really love. Shower Gel is also very watery. It's like a thick syrup. But easy to flow out of the bottle. It lathers quite well. But I find that with shower gels is that it is better to use with a loofah. A bit of goes a long way. It will foam up, makes lathering so much more fun and easier. I guess you can alway...
