R.E.D


No, I'm not going to review that Bruce Willis flick. 

I'm writing about RED literally. As color. 
Ever since the last century, I've been obsessing about red lipstick. Yet everytime I came to the make up store, I'd try it on my lips and refused to buy. Every time. It's like, I don't have enough courage to wear one. I thought my lip is plump. It's full (you know what I mean) So wearing a red lipstick only will accentuate it. That's why I always opt for either nude or coral shades. Well, pink periodically. 

Couple weeks ago, I went to my fave make up dept store, Glow. I intended to buy red lipstick no matter what. Finding a red lipstick is not as easy as usual. Cos it has to match with your skin tone. Red lipstick has to flatter your look without overdo it. And you have to buy a lipstick with fine quality, you don't want a stain of your red lipstick on your teeth do you?
After tried on some shades from various brands, finally my choice goes to YSL Rouge Pur Couture #1. I was such in doubts whether it look good on me. The SA had to remind me over and over that it looked good on my lips. Next thing I know, I stand in front of the cashier and bought it right away, with another beauty purchases. Beauty HAUL! (deserve another blog post!)

IRL

Jumping to the main topic, here's a brief review of my new lipstick. Three words: I LOVE IT.
I went to my friend's wedding on last weekend. So I finally had a chance to wear red lipstick. The overall make up had to be simple, cos I'd look like a clown if I put up too much make up. The application of red lipstick is kinda tricky, moreover I didn't use any lipliner first, cos I don't have it in red. So I used a very thin brush to make an outline and then fill it with a normal lips brush. I must say it really moisture my lips and lasts all night! Well I wore it for about 6 hours and it stays good the whole night without touched up. I even had my dinner and dessert, but it doesn't wear off a bit! I also got so many compliments from my friends :D 

I came home, had some chats with my man, I didn't even want to wash my face. That was so SILLY. But I really love the lipstick. :p


Got help from my sissy to put my make up on.


The overall look, not too heavy on the eyes.


a minute before I cleaned up my face! The lipstick was still ON.

So ladies, if you wanna buy red lipstick, YSL Rouge Pur Couture is highly recommended. But don't forget to try on some other red shades, cos every skin tone is different reds. Good luck xox

tied the knot

The Groom with all the best-men Happy boy happy couple current mood : *sigh* Finally, after the very long waiting and preparation since LAST YE AR week, my brother tied the knot with girl of his dream. They held a morning ceremony at Cathedral Church and then thrown a party later that night at Grand Eastern. I was having a blast, yet exhausted, and starved and weary and all! Since I didn't catch enough time to eat something, and were busy buzzing around the ballroom, cos my friends were all there and I've some duties to do. Well, now the party's over and it's time to "renew" the life. Cos life will never be the same. Brother, sister, I hope your love will last forever, no more assault, no more violence, just PEACE. Don't ever lean on to someone else, cos since yesterday, two became ONE. Just like the priest said, you both have to received each other the way they are, and blend each personality as one. Married life isn't going to be easy (LIKE I KNOW.L...
