My Gorgeous Pink Cheeks: July 2010

Lancome Chris and Tell Lipstick

Lancome L'Absolu Rouge in Chris & Tell by Chris Benz (LE) is the latest lipstick in the annual Pout-a-Porter series created with up-and-coming fashion designers. It is a beautiful, vibrant coral pink that instantly brightens my face with a swipe. The color is bold, happy, unique and full of character; - in short, "stunning!"

Here are some snapshots:

Chris and Tell is an indulgence! It is bright and opaque which makes it a nice pop of color on the lips. The texture is also smooth, rich and creamy. The pigmentation is excellent and the staying power is pretty decent as well. It also leaves that nice sheen on the lips; - almost like there is a gloss over it. However, I am not quite a fan of its scent. I find it a bit strong and old for my liking. But other than that, this lipstick rocks! :)

Take a look at my lip swatch:

And here's a quick FOTD with Guerlain Parure White foundation as my base, Shu Uemura M Peach 44 on my cheeks and Chris and Tell (of course!) on my lips.

What do you think? Is this the perfect coral for you? Let me know, ayt?

Until then.

Peace and Love!

Sleek iDivine Safari 572 Eye Shadow Palette

I recently got this Limited Edition Sleek palette in Safari 572 and I adore it. Sleek Make Up is a drug store cosmetic brand sold exclusively at Superdrug (and some online outlets) in UK. This palette contains a very good mix of colors; - from gorgeous metallic earthy tones to bright greens and neutral browns. The palette contains four matte colors ( black, yellow-gold, taupe and bright green) and the rest are metallic and shimmery.

Check these pictures:

All the shadows are buttery soft, silky, extremely pigmented and are very easy to blend. The colors are vibrant and they go on beautifully.

Here are some swatches of the top row. The first picture was under natural lighting while the rest were taken under flash photography. Applied dry and without a base.

Now, here are some swatches of the bottom row. Again, the first picture was under natural lighting while the rest were taken under flash photography. Applied dry and without a base.

I really like these shadows. I just really wish that Sleek is available here.

What do you think about this palette? Let me know, ayt?

Until then.

Peace and Love!

Mac Angel Lipstick

Angel, - the infamous Mac lipstick that Kim Kardashian wears a lot! For a Frost lipstick, this absolutely isn't frosty (no metallic ugliness,yey!). It is a creamy nude pink shade that I think will work for a variety of skin tones. It gives just the perfect amount of pinkness on the lips; - nothing too bright or loud. It is such a safe and easy color so if you are one of those people who are afraid of wearing bold colors on your lips, then this lipstick is definitely for you. It's a nice go-to color for that neutral, soft, everyday look. This little guy definitely lives up to its hype!

Here are some snapshots:
