Napoleon Perdis - Mauritius Peach

I bring to you Napoleon Perdis' Mauritius Peach lipgloss.

I am still deciding whether I like this lipgloss or not. The colour is amazing but it is hard to get this smoothed out on your lips without having that strokey look. I tried butting my lips but then I found the cracks in your lips stood out and also that it doesn't even out on your lips. I feel that you do have to paint this lipgloss on to achieve the look you want. And, by paint I mean lap it on.

I think if I perfect getting the lipgloss on my lips, I'll post a video up or photo up LOL!!

Here is a picture of it on:

I really hope you can see the colour but it's a soft peachy shimmering lipgloss with gold glitter or alternatively it is a gold shimmery lipgloss with a peachy glitter through it. It's both really! Haha :D I love the colour but still figuring out how to wear it.

I think it's a great summer lipgloss if you're heading to the beach or a summer party. It's definitely a great lipgloss for going out and if you're wearing a gold sparkly dress, it would add a nice touch. To be honest, I don't think this would suit any dark coloured outfit at all. It's too softly toned to go against anything bold in colour.

I bought this for $23 from Big W and Ebay sells it for the same price. There are many Napoleon Perdis counters at the shopping centres, so you can definitely have a test with the make-up artists also.

Have a nice day!

Hello Kitty Magnetic Gloss - Girly Lip

I've been wanting to post this for some time but it got lost in the never ending ideas for my blog.

I bring to you Hello Kitty Magnetic Gloss in Girly Lip.

20120724-175632.jpg

It is a fuchsia, shimmery lipgloss that is bold and strong in colour. Upon wearing this, I found that it did not fade nor did it feel heavy or oily. I like how this colour stands out as its quite bright but fun enough to wear during day time as well as night.

As you may or may not know, I like wearing all sorts of pink lipglosses and lipsticks. I like the Hello Kitty range which according to Beauty Heaven, is only available in Priceline in Australia! This costs $13.95 from Priceline. Sorry international peeps, the only other site I found that sold Hello Kitty make-up is Sephora.

I believe it is called magnetic gloss because of how strong the glittery parts of the gloss stand out without drawing away from the colour. For me, it really shines as the picture depicts. Shiny gloss makes your lips look amazing! I captured the lipgloss in natural light because I feel those pictures never lie.

Here is another pic I took in natural light as the other pic was taken in my car LoL

I feel that both pictures do really show the tints of the lipgloss and both pics are correct in the shade. On one hand it can be really Glittery and holochrome but on the other hand it is fuchsia and bright pink. It really depends at what angle you look at and how the gloss will shine towards you.

I like sparkly things as much as the next girl and pretty much wear this lipgloss whenever I feel like it. I think with any girl, if you find some form of make-up that you enjoy wearing then it can really make your day because you'll feel happy.

Don't under estimate the power of make-up.

Revlon Colorburst Peony Pivoine

So, went shopping for my cats but found that the make-up stand always offer something valuable that catches my eye. This time I found a lot of promotion for Revlon's Colorburst range with Emma Stone front lining the campaign.

I always look into the lipsticks and lipglosses because I love wearing these everyday! I didn't want to go for any bright colours, so I found this Peony lipgloss that was soft pink with a nude tint and gold sparkles through it. The picture up top shows the slight glitter through it but not to worry as I took a pic of my lips for a closer view of what this looks like.

It is very light in shade when glided on your lips. I find that the gold glitter really shines through with this lipgloss. Because the actual shade blends in with your natural lip colour, the gold sparkles make your lips extra shiny. This lip gloss is also non-sticky and I do not get that gluggy feeling. I also feel that it is moisturizing at the same time.

This costs about AU$23 and can be bought from any pharmacy or beauty store. I can't say I found it anywhere cheaper online because it can be found at your regular retailers. Found lots of reviews for it. I would probably going to your chemist/pharmacy outlets to see if they have this for cheap.

lipgloss is great for every day wear or for special occasions. Right now, I am wearing it with just simple make-up of black eye liner. Easy done! I even took pictures! It's simple and sweet!

Loreal - Glam Shine Reflexion

Had an amazing day today with my bestie and we went to a local market - Conventry Square. Lots of stalls selling make-up and accessories and we found a place selling cheap cosmetics.

I found Loreal's Glam Shine - Reflexion in Sheer Watermelon for $4!!

20120429-192919.jpg

The brush on this lipgloss is amazing! It's so soft and glides on like a cushion to your lips :) It is probably the weirdest feeling because I am used to sturdy, hard lipgloss brushes but this was smooth and spongey - probably why it's called reflexion because of the way the lip brush flexes to the shape of your lips. It leaves a glittery, light pinky colour on your lips with a non-sticky texture and wet shine look. Perfect for everyday wear or when you're out and about. It also leaves a fruity scent which is refreshing but I couldn't say it was watermelon (probably my sense of taste and smell failing me).

I only bought the one lipgloss because I wasn't fond of the other colours on sale. This lipgloss usually retails for about $10 from regular cosmetic shops and pharmacies.

It was a great find and I wanted to share it with everyone :)

Update: This what the gloss looks like close up

Sorry for the bad image with my bad skin. As you can see its very subtle in colour with a pinky orange tint. It has a soft glitter finish and good for wearing everyday to plump your lips.

20120430-221704.jpg

In this pic, which I took at work, you can see it's a bit more reddy pink. I guess it depends on the lighting and how many layers you wear but it's not that bright in colour. It's a very soft and natural colour. I like the gloss because you can match it with any sort of make-up and outfit because it's not that bright. It appears like a pinky coral colour in the gloss pot and is not over the top in appearance. Hope my pics give you an idea of what the gloss will look like against your lips and skin tone :)
