My Gorgeous Pink Cheeks: LOTD

MAC Beachbound Lipstick

Beachbound (LE) is one of the lipsticks from the recent To The Beach Collection that was released some time this year. It is a sheer golden peach champagne color and is a glaze. It has the feel of a gloss and on my lips, it gives a subtle shimmery light apricot color. It glides really softly and is really moisturizing.

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!

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!

Lazy Day Lipstick From MAC's "To The Beach Collection"

I waited ages for this lipstick. Well, I might be exaggerating but it actually felt ages to me. When I saw the To The Beach publicity ads, this was the only item that I was so sure of getting. Unfortunately, when the To The Beach Collection was launched here, my MAC counters did not have it yet. What a shame. But better late than never, right? I finally have it and that's all that matters. So, here's the last installment of my To The Beach mini haul. :)

Here are some snapshots. :)

FOTD: Using NARS Portofino Multiple On My Cheeks & Lips

One of my lovely followers requested a FOTD using Nars Portofino. So, here's my humble attempt to do one (just please bear with me). Hope this simple FOTD will help you guys appreciate how lovely Portofino is. It's a gorgeous product and I highly recommend it! <3

I will not get tired of saying how I love Portofino on my cheeks. I adore how its color gives me that healthy and glowing sheen! Surprisingly, the color looks good on my lips too. (but it is extremely drying, boo!)

Here's a lip swatch:
