Its the weekend! i always go almost bare during the weekends to let my skin breathe. i need my concealer and blusher, no matter what (ugly acne scars, boo!). i feel so naked without it. I like using my Elf blushes during the weekends because it gives a sheer, light, almost non-existing coverage, which is perfect for my kind of weekend!

Nyx Round Lipstick (Another lipstick post!)

LEFT to RIGHT: PARIS, B25 and LALA

I love the shades (Paris, B25 and Lala) i got. To me they are the perfect every day colour. I want to get more colours but refraining because i dont want my lipstick collection to be just be NYX. I want to have variety! Also, i dont want to them just because they are cheap. (RM 19, say whuuttttttt!!!)

I ~love~ the colours but the dont last. i have to re-apply every hour and by the 2nd hour i would just give and wipe off the lipstick and go bare. I have yet to try them with my Urban Decay Lip Primer Potion. In fact, i will try them on tomorrow, so wait for a review soon!

Nyx Matte Lipstick

I avoided lipsticks for the longest time because i didnt like the sticky glossy feeling on my lips. At the same time, i didnt like that i looked pale when i dont wear lipstick. (but i still used it for vain reasons and brushed off the sticky feeling) Thats when i turned to matte lipsticks. i love bold lip colours and bold colours look best in matte. (to me at least) AND it doesnt have that sticky feeling on the lips.  

Picked up NYX matte lipstick in merlot and natural. Merlot is by far, one of my favourite shades of red lipstick. Its not exactly red, somewhere pinkish wine. Natural is what i describe as your lip colour but better.

These babies can last for quite some time. i put Merlot on after breakfast and went out for a full day of shopping with my mom, sister and bro-in-law. After lunch, i realized the colour faded a little, i touched up. It lasted until i got home for tea. The colour glides on smoothly and its very pigmented.

Sucky thing is, it does emphasize dry lips, so you may want to put on balm before putting them on. 

Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub (Review)

I suffered from bad acne a few years back. My forehead was FULL of acne (i am not exaggerating) I went to see a skin specialist and he put on Roaccutane. It took me about 1.8 years to get almost perfect skin (i occasionally got small comodones).

But ever since i started work, i started breaking out again! I went back on Roaccutane. One of the side effects of the pill is…dry ness. It dries up all the oils so you dont get clogged pores. i dont know about other people, but my whole body gets dry, especially my lips. They get so chapped and urghh ugly.

.......and i found this delicious scrub! Its made out of sugar, flavouring and jojoba oil. Its quite pricy for a small little glass jar and the main ingredient is SUGAR. I got it in Singapore for $20 so when you convert to RM its around RM60. I guess you pay for the brand and the idea of it. BUT after you use it and lick your lips, its worth it. My lips feel so soft and plump.

To use it, take a little bit of the product with a clean finger and gently rub it on your lips to exfoliate the dry skin. You can either lick it of or wash it away. I like to take a wet tissue and wipe it off and then lick my lips. I like it sweet but not too sweet.
