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

still..

current mood : still upset Every children biggest dream would always be make their parents proud. Including me. But how? Many whispers came to my ear that said, "Go ahead and find your place at your Dad's Co.", "Why wasting more time with useless job?", "Don't ever try to work in a -desperately-needing-investment Bank!", and blah and blah and blah. Dude I really wanna show my Dad that I can earn myself money. Now my new car is on its way to my garage doesn't mean I'm fully happy. I mean, I feel very grateful with my Dad's present, but I realize that it will burden me. How long until I can earn my own money? Let's rewind to two years ago, when my friends busy to get a part-time job. This "part-time job" means SPG (Sales Promotion Girl), or Bridesmaid (at someone else's wedding), or Wedding Organizer's crew. That's all we can do for our status as a under-graduate student. Nothing else more and nothing else better...

anger & depression

Have you ever feel that you're the dumbest, stupidest person on earth? I did some terrible mistakes most of my life, feel like I can do nothing right.. I always wrong. Although I always tell everyone my slogan " absolutely no regrets ". But actually, there are several things that I wish I didn't do. I wish I can study more, I wish I exercise more, I wish I'm not a forgetful girl and can remember every single thing that ever happened in my life, I wish I wish I wish.. Many things I've missed in my whole life. I've messed it up and now I regret it. FFS, please forget those trashy feeling!!! back to reality.......... I've two new best-friends right now. It called "Anger" and "Depression". This "anger" and "depression" always track me down nowadays. Especially when I near my deadline, whether it's essay or Pre-Order on my OL shop. It's just... Frustrating. Sometimes I thought, can I do this alone? But than my...

if the house always wins, why gamble?

As we all aware of, every single person I know are busy talking about the 2010 FIFA WORLD CUP. After a huge ceremony last week at South Africa, men in our houses were suddenly disappeared. Either for watch the ball game with their friends or spend the night at the coffee shop, or even just watch at home, they were disappeared. Both physically & mentally. Yes ladies, for one wholly month. I don't know what's wrong with their anxious & curiosity to watch it. But it seems, some of them (or all of them?) are taking too seriously about this issue. Because some of them (or all them?) are gambling! Gamble also known as: –verb (used without object) 1. to play at any game of chance for money or other stakes. 2. to stake or risk money, or anything of value, on the outcome of something involving chance: to gamble on a toss of the dice. –verb (used with object) 3. to lose or squander by betting (usually fol. by away ): He gambled all...
