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!)

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

PAIN. EXCRUCIATING PAIN. A PAIN THAT IMPOSSIBLE TO CURE My heart so tattered that there's nothing more to be torn. He died a sudden death. I won't go into details, at least not now. Our 20 years journey ended abrubtly. there goes our future hopes and dreams. __________________ I begin to questioning the existence of God. We've lead a good life. we&

Dearest,  We both know that we've been through some major ups and downs. There were those hard times when we didn't look each other's eyes.. But also there were those happier times when we laughed together and hugged each other very tight. Sorry cos I haven't make you proud.. :( But that doesn't mean I love you any less.  Deep down inside I'll always be your little girl. Thank you for being the best Dad in the world.. You've no idea how much I love and adore you. Happy birthday! GBU abundantly xoxo

bye bye baby...

bye bye baby... Valentino Rossi's career at Yamaha finally comes to an end after seven years full of bittersweet memories.. Next year, he will be "back home" to Ducati and maybe will finish his motoGP career there. I can't imagine how motoGP would be without Rossi. It will be the end of an era. first kiss, first winning Last week GP at Valencia was very emotional and heartbreaking especially for Rossi who had to kiss his Yamaha M1 for the last time, just like what he did seven years ago at Welkom (first winning with Yamaha). From what I've read in his autobiography book, Rossi considered his M1 as a woman, a girlfriend whom he loved dearly.. Too bad Yamaha finally chosen Lorenzo instead of Rossi (I read somewhere that Rossi would do anything he can to be with Yamaha till the end of his career, he wouldn't mind being a mechanic or else). Geez! Does Yamaha forget everything that Rossi has done for them? Yamaha was a trash back then! Rossi came and raised
