Revlon Soft Nude Colorburst Lipstick

This is by far the best nude lipstick I have ever tried. A drugstore brand surpassing all my expectations and making lipstick application an absolute pleasure!
I’ll let the swatches do the taking!

This is definitely my new HG Nude Lipstick. It’s so creamy, nicely pigmented and the color is gorgeous. My lips don’t dry out and neither do I look like a dead corpse. REVLON is genius for coming up with this amazing lipstick. I am stocking up on this color and definitely going to pick up others!

Coastal Scents Metal Mania Palette

Hiya everyone. Here’s part 2 of my coastal scents haul review!
I got this metal mania palette as I’ve been craving for a larger metallic range of colors and I don’t regret my purchase one bit. In fact, I much prefer this palette to the 88 Color Palette. The colors of this metal mania palette are smoother and is so much easier to blend.


PALETTE :

* Everything on my eye was from the Coastal Scents Metal Mania Palette ( Except Black Eyeliner- Coastal Scents Dual End Eye Shadow Pencil in Mystery Wand)

IMG_7994  PERFORMANCE:
I LOVE COASTAL SCENTS METAL MANIA PALETTE BECAUSE-
* Easy to blend (with an eye shadow base)
*Nice selection of pinks, orange and neutrals
*Metallic shine is just right
*Affordable –88 colors for 24.95 USD (28 cents a color)
I WOULD LOVE COASTAL SCENTS METAL MANIA PALETTE EVEN MORE IF-
*added more blacks and grey
*did away with some red shades
otherwise i love this palette….

coastal scents Haul

It’s been quiet around here but I have a coastal scents haul for you guys!
IMG_8043
I ordered some Coastal Scents Lip Smacks, Eyeshadow Pencils and the Metal Mania Palette to celebrate the end of my confinement peirod!! I can officially eat chocolate, ice cream and all the good stuff…Yippie! Sheer Happiness on my part! 
 I bought 4 lip smacks- OASIS, SWEET ANNA,  NEAR PEACH AND MONROE A GO GO

Packaging:Size wise, they are longer than MAC Lip  Glass. I like the packaging. It’s sturdy, simple and elegant looking.  Here I am comparing them to my Iphone

Performance:
Coastal scents lip smacks are FUN! Not only do they have a large variety of colors but the color selection is very flattering and pretty IMHO. These lip glosses stay on for 2-3 hours max and what I enjoy about them besides the fact that they are cheap is that it isn’t sticky. It’s very wearable and the packaging is very practical.
On the downside, I don’t like that the color seems to settle into my lip lines and after a while, my lip color shows through. Pigmentation isn’t OCC lip tar standard but for the price, it’s very decent.
I’m looking to add more to my collection because they are so fun to use!

This blog has been pretty much quiet because baby is going through a really clingy time right now as I’ve moved back from mom in law place. Things are crazy hectic with tons of packing and lots of stocking up for baby boy. Well, I wouldn’t be able to do any reviews, much less eat if it weren’t for my PuPSik SLING:-

* Precious Gems *

Don’t you just love going through your jewellery box? I luv to clean up my box every now then as each jewellery item I own, holds a special memory or was a gift or a hand me down from my loved ones.

                                        My box of special memories~ IMG_7556                   This diamond pendent was from my mom in law :)IMG_7555 This beautiful custom made jade pendent was a hand me down treasure from my maternal grandma, to my mom and now it’s mine :) I love it so much because my grandma designed this herself, got it custom made and the jade selected is absolutely beautiful.IMG_7558

Another gorgeous diamond pendent from my maternal grandmother. It’s my absolute most treasured item in the box. She really has exquisite taste in gems.IMG_7560 Pearl earrings from my paternal grandmas. I hope I collect enough beautiful jewellery to hand it down to my children one day.

Some random pendants from my darling hubby. He’s actually given me many more but these are my favourite as  the square ones are from Munich and the diamond ones were surprise gifts.

Hiah…  There’s so much hype surrounding MAC FELINE collection. Felt a little cattish and did this cat eye look!
