(YAY) Multiple Reviews: NYX Lips in Love Angel + Loreal Paris Lipstick in Rose Creme + Maybelline Lipstick in Scarlet Simmer

 

I have been reaching out to these lipsticks a lot recently so I thought I should just do a combined review of these babies. I like to have different shades in my current stash of lipsticks so that I can do different looks with these different shades.

 

First stop, NYX Lips in Love Angel. If you don't know me, I love pink lipsticks more than any other shades so it's not hard to guess that this is my most favourite one currently. I think pink is very wearable on me and I can rock it almost everyday. However, this is super creamy so I apply this with my fingers/brush. Direct application will allow a lot more product on the lips which will be more prone to 'bleeding' out of the lip line.

 

Next is Loreal Paris Lipstick in Rose Crème. I usually find red lipstick really hard to wear. Well, this lipstick is so wearable on me! Probably it's true that red lipstick with blue undertone suits fair-skinned people like me! Thank you blue undertone, because of your existence, I feel like this lipstick shade can be worn easily. One thing I hate the most is lousy packaging. Look at how the 'paint' has chipped off over time, not pretty! So not gonna bring this out of house.

 

Ok, Maybelline Lipstick in Scarlet Simmer is the most difficult lipstick shade to wear currently. It's a bold and deep red colour with fine golden specks. I definitely cannot wear this when I'm in casual outfit, I feel. How I wear this is that I put a sheer gloss on my lips first, then layer this lightly on top of the gloss, and tadah! A sheer red on my lips!

(YAY) Review: Maybelline Baby Lips SPF 20 in Cherry Velvet and Energizing Orange

 

I need to say something out loud before we proceed on to the serious review of these lipbalms. I AM SO DISAPPOINTED THAT SINGAPORE DOESN'T SELL BABY LIPS SIMILAR TO THOSE IN THE US AND NOW THEY HAVE THE ELECTRO COLLECTION WHICH WE CAN'T GET HERE EITHER!!

 

Ok, all better. Let's continue.

 

These Maybelline Baby Lips lipbalms are colourless, one thing that I was quite sad about. I bought Energizing Orange as I thought it would be an orange-tinted lipbalm. Cherry Velvet is a sample given to me. But, they are not to be blamed. Anyway, these goes on smooth on my lips and is moisturizing. Both have nice scents! A sun protection of SPF 20 is a plus point.

Haul: Taiwan Trip 2011

 

As this trip consists of 5 guys and 2 girls (including me), it's hard to look more into beauty products because I wanna do activities that allow us all to do together. That being said, let's get started on the small haul I got from Taiwan!

 

The first beauty product that first came to my mind when I decided to go on a trip to Taiwan is My Beauty Diary Masks. Since there were so many different types to try, why not get a box containing all the different types!

 

Next I came across the travel sized tubes of the Maybelline Pure Mineral 8 in 1 Skin Transformer BB Cream in SPF 26. It was about 1SGD and buy 1 get 1 free. Oh yeah, picked it up of course

 

Ok, Heme skincare for 4SGD each? Hell yeah!

Green - Pore Perfect Refining Night Jelly

Purple - Sparkling Diamond Instant Lift & Contour Firming Night Jelly

Blue - Snow Lucent Whitening Night Jelly

Pink - 24hr Hydrating Detox-White Night Jelly

 

The surprising thing is that Taiwan's 7-Eleven sells quite a variety of beauty products unlike our local ones. All the above can be found at their 7-Eleven stores!

 

Then I dragged my girlfriend into a 2-level store near Xi Men Ding, while the guys went to watch movie. The first floor sells beauty products while the second floor sells products like food, clothes and etc. I think I stayed on the first floor easily for more than an hour.

 

I got myself this Berry Kiss Victoria's Secret Body Mist with notes of Wild Raspberry, Praline and Rose. It's about the same price as Singapore but I've never come across this scent at our local VS stores.

 

The two Skin79 BB products came in a set. The middle one is The Oriental Smooth Sun BB Pact in SPF 25 PA++, while the other one is the Dream Girls BB in SPF 30 PA++.
