Very Cherry
Maybeline Color Sensational Lipstick in Very Cherry. Can I just wear it everyday?! Other than to work of course. I been experimenting with red lipstick lately. So far, I like Lacome's Red Stiletto. But it's expensive for a red lipstick I will hardly wear. So I settled with a drug store brand. Works just as well. I bought it at Walgreens. I been buying alot of lip products. The worst buy is a Loreal one I kinda want to throw out. Maybeline Color Sensationals are pretty good. I have Coral Gleam and Sugared Almond in their pearls collection along with the Very Cherry in their reds. I only have one Revlon lipstick. Here's me with Revlon Soft Nude. It's a very popular color that I found out through make-up Guru's/Bloggers. In real life it goes on real nude-like but in photos, my lip looks pink. Maybe it was fading and my real lip color came through. I love the earrings I'm wearing. I got those from Francesca's. I wear mostly earrings and sometimes necklaces. I hate wearing rings and bracelets becuase it keeps me from doing things. I work with my hands alot and hate for jewlery to be in the way. I finally have a nice make-up collection and organized the vanity in a way I have everything in front of me. All my brushes, make-up, frangrances, jewlery, contacts, and hair products each have their own section on my dresser. I love the big mirror! I want to find an pencil eyeliner that won't smudge. But I need to go through all my eyeliners I have right now before I buy more. Since I'm asian, I think eyeliner and mascara are two items I would spend alot of money on. My eyeshadows are palettes from coastal scents. I used to buy maybeline eye shadows quads. But ever since I have the Coastal Scents, I haven't use the Maybeline much except for traveling. For foundation, I started and stuck with Bare Minerals. It works great for me and til this day, I still recieve compliments of how nice my skin is. It's mostly because bare minerals is so light, it's like I'm not wearing make-up. And to maintain good skin, I used to use Acne Free (generic for Proactiv) But Tien reccommended to me Neutrogena Advance Solutions. I noticed it works much better than anything I ever used. It clears my skin and prevent blemishes really well. I alternate with Philosophy Puirty when I'm not breaking out as much.
Recently, a friend told me her secret to her nails. She buys glue on fake nails. So, I also got some press on french tips nails. Since it costs like $50 bucks to have them done and only 5 bucks for fake ones, why not?! I work with patients so I can't have them on for too long, so why waste all that money to have your nails done for only two days. I thought I'd give it a try. I don't know if I like them too much. It's super long... maybe next time I'll get the kid version. I bought short ones but it's still long to me. I love browsing at drugstores for make up and knick knacks like this.
Flash and big smile!! Honey says he can't kiss me with that lipstick on. LOL!! Last month, I bought a jar of Imperalis from Lush, turns out it wasn't good for me. My dry areas were perfectly moisturized, but my oily ares started to have blemishes here and there. So, I went back to my old routine and sure enough it went back to normal. So I returned it and then they told me to try Vanishing Cream. So far, so good. But I want to give it a good month of use before I give it the clear. I also gave away my Pop in a Bath bubble bar to Tien so she can try it. I'm on my last handful of The Comforter. I want to repurchase, but I also want to try new ones.
