HAUL : LIPSTICKS I AM IN LOVE WITH !

Hello guys ! 
I's back again to share with you all on my recent HAUL and I have to admit all of which are LIPSTICKS!
I found them really amazing and wanted to share with you all as well!






















LIPSTIIICCCCCCCCKKKKKKKSSSSSSSSSS !!!!!

Doesnt the photo tempt you so much ? Yes, lets proceed with the review of my recent haul.


1. BRAND : MAC COSMETICS
    COLOUR : RUBY WOO


(TOP: WITHOUT FLASH, BOTTOM: WITH FLASH)


My thoughts : THIS WAS HIGHLY RAVED BY MANY MAKEUP ARTISTS! Thiis is actually my second time purchasing it as my first one finished. ALL I GOT TO SAY IS, THIS IS THE BOMB !!! As you can see, this is a MATTE lipstick and as such it comes off without any sheen. The moment its on your lips , the lipstain is there for more than 8 hours, trust me! I loved how pigmented this lipstick was and I think this is totally perfect for all skin tones. Its been a trend nowadays for women to apply bright bold lipsticks and I would highly recommend each one of you to carry one of this in your handbags!


2. BRAND : NYX
    COLOUR : LSS 612, LALA


My thoughts :  I bought this from a flea in Tanjong Pagar Exchange, Singapore. It cost roughly $5 - $6 and trust me, it glides on so smoothy that you hardly find it thick on your lips. This shade is really suitable for tanned skin. It carries a very plum-coloured finish.. This is not matte and as such, it carries a little sheen on it. But the color is AWESOME !




3. BRAND: NUTRIMETIICS PRESTIGE GOLD LIPSTICK
    COLOUR: ORANGE FIRE



My thoughts: I actually purchased this from a Malaysia Catalogue for Tupperware stuffs. My mum helped me get this. I really thought that this had a BRIGHT CORAL TONE colour and its really orangey red. Totally loved the finish and it glides smoothly across your lips actually. Its highly pigmented that the first time I applied it, the stains did not go off even the next morning when I woke up. Totlly amazing product and I want to purchase the other colours available in this BRAND. This cost SGD 22 if I am not wrong.


4.  BRAND: CHANEL ROUGE ALLURE
     COLOUR: LIP COLOUR 93



My thoughts: THIS IS MY CURRENT ADDICTION. REALLY LOVEEEEE THIS SHADE A LOT. My loved one got this for me as a gift/surprise gift. I was really falling in love with it each time I wore it out and I received really good compliments on tthis shade. It has this very pinky red shade and it glides on really well on lips. Does not make the lips dry but instead adds some vibrance to the lips.Totally loved the texture of the \product as well. I am definitely falling in love with CHANEL LIPSTICKS!! My loved one got this for SGD 44 if I am not wrong. Might be a little pricey but it is really worth all your bucks! I created some recent looks with this lipstick too. Look out for the swatches below..!

Real Techniques CORE COLLECTION Brush Set Review

REAL TECHNIQUES 
CORE COLLECTION BRUSH SET


FROM THE PIXIWOO SISTERS

Hello guys !

I am back again for a new REVIEW ! As most beauty addicts would have already known, PIXIWOO is a popular name heard all over youtube. YES ! They are the PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP ARTISTS + BEAUTY BLOGGERS + YOUTUBE GURUS & THEY ARE THE BEAUTIFUL SISTERS WITH GREAT TALENTS. One of them is named Samantha(Sam) and the other is Nicole (Nic).

One of them started with this line of professional brushes for makeup  purpose and they named it REALTECHNIQUES. At first before getting any of their brushes, I realised that they were highly raved products among makeup addicts. Since I was also one, I couldnt resist the temptation but instead went to purchase my first brush from them ie Stippling Brush. I totally loved the texture of the bristles and it was really made out of fine bristles. Then, I decided to try the CORE COLLECTION this time round as I thought it will definitely become one my most loved brushes. I ordered the CORE COLLECTION brush set as seen in the image above and I FELL IN LOVE WITH THEM THEREAFTER ! <3

I always loved watching PIXIWOO makeup tutorials in youtube and totally enjoyed all their videos. I have never failed to miss even one of them out of the many. I was in fact very much addicted into watching it everyday. Just in case, some of you are wondering, where can they be found on YOUTUBE, CLICK HERE !  They have tons of videos uploaded where they have re-created many looks from celebrities and they have created really interesting looks themselves too. I just had so much to brag about them because they are MY ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE, INSPIRING & TALENTED MAKEUP ARTISTS  EVER!


Now, for the part on the REVIEW of the CORE COLLECTION Brush Set from (REAL TECHNIQUES) PIXIWOO... SCROLL DOWN...

  Totally easy as it seems right ? Yes it is!
Lets move on to the brushes !

BRUSHES in "CORE COLLECTION SET"

BUFFING BRUSH



USE : For full coverage application of powder & mineral
foundation.

MY VIEWS : TOTALLY LOVE THIS BRUSH ! its super soft
and you could feel the texture of a feather touching your skin.
The bristles fof the brush are way to soft that they penetrate the
product they pick up through the skin very well indeed.


CONTOUR BRUSH



USE : It applies highlight to contour or create sheer,
soft-focus finish

MY VIEWS : This is really good for contouring or even
applying highlighter to your cheek areas. They have a very
fluffy dom-shape that allows them to work well into the areas that
need contouring.


Pointed Foundation Brush


USE : To be used when applying liquid foundation
to build custom coverage.

MY VIEWS : I find this a very useful brush when it
comes to blending and building up foundation on
skin when you need more coverage. The bristles are 
very delicate and the brush has served its purpose!


DETAILER BRUSH


USE : It gives a precision cut to effortlessly conceal
problem areas,or use with lipstick for long-lasting shape
and definition.

MY VIEWS: This brush is good applying lipstick. I have
tried it once and I feel that it applies lipstick so smoothly
that the lipstick sets on your lips so well. It is also good to
use it to apply any concealer at problem areas.

I totally feel that this CORE COLLECTION SET is a good buy and a value for money set! I never regretted purchasing this as I always felt the PIXIWOO sisters just knew what we makeup lovers need. If you want to place your orders, please direct yourself  to their WEBSITE (click).

Hope you enjoyed my review and I'll update you guys when I do a look using these brushes !

Till then, xx

With love,
