What's your purple?

Hi there!

It's been a while and I haven't written anything. I have some on draft, most are lengthy ones. So, I decided that I'd write shorter posts. Just so, they get finished and published before my excitement dried out.

So, there you go. I posted a picture of these lovely lippies on my facebook:

Of course they are yours truly's kissers.

For the matte look, I used Excel Paris Matte Lip Cream, given to me as a present by my sis-in-law. She well knows that I'm daring enough to wear that shade.

I wore it with this look:

After a while, I smoothed on a coat of the luminous Dior Addict lipstick in #499 Mystic Mauve. Well, this particular lipppie is expensive and I was just lucky to get it free from a Dior product seminar when I was still with Beauty walk.

It has been one of my favorites, although not very wearable.

And this is how it looks like with the rest of the makeup:

Bold colored lipsticks goes well with simple eye makeup but can be paired with bright high fashion ones, too. And because I missed my favorite palette, I opted for the latter. 

To create this look, I used my beloved brand name treasures, as well as my new found local products that are affordable yet trustworthy ones.

Here they are:

Branded products used

Dior Addict lipstick 499 Mystic Mauve, Lancome Le Crayon Khol black eyeliner, Elizabeth Arden Color Intrigue eye and cheek palette in Cool. Dior 5-color eyeshadow palette in Extreme Blue and Clinique Quick Blush in Peach in-a-pinch.

They've been sitting in my drawers for a while so I'm not sure whether they are still available on counters since some of them are limited edition.

affordable yet trustworthy finds

As for those inexpensive products used. I have found these lovelies rather easy on the pocket but with good and satisfying results too. 

Here they are: Kokuryu Summer Cake in Orange Blush, Myra Vita Smooth pressed powder in Light, Avon Metallic liquid eyeliner in Starry Black, Nichido brown eyebrow pencil and Excel Paris  matte lip cream.

It is good to invest in a few expensive products especially that our face deserves them but it won't hurt trying on some things that will save us money. Just make sure to cleanse thoroughly and moisturize afterwards.

Hope I'll be writing more of these kind of stuff soon.

Many thanks to my dear kumare Rose for the Nikon Coolpix camera. I can snap anything anytime for my blog and my facebook as well.
