Lancome -Rouge in Love

Emma Watson has embodied the latest Lancome line of lipsticks known as "Rouge in love". This latest launch by Lancome has driven the market wild and no one can be held account, especially with the lovely hot coral hearts, and little sketches of the Eiffel Tower and the ever so upbeat "oh la-la rouge in love" song!


I went for the promo today at KLCC, luckily as it was the last day and fell in absolute awe of their new lipsticks! While i was their i got some VIP treatment too, lovely sales lady (forgot to catch her name) dolled me up and tried on these incredible lippies and i must say that it was love at first sight! i really liked the colors at first glance but when i tried them on....."oh la-la"they felt like a dream, very hydrating, but not sticky, and gross balm like!


They seem to a revolutionized lip balm -lip stick sort, but just the best of the kind i have ever laid hands on, and the greatest thing about them is that the color is very very pigmented and build able. They have a great feel and texture, lovely sheen, bait similar to having the lightest layer of gloss on and these lipsticks are long wear to top everything off.


Another thing i was drawn in to by the line is the concept behind, they have the lip colors to "moods" so basically they have divided all the shades in to 3 ranges know as, "Jolis Matins" which are the fresh, nude sort day wear lip shades. Followed by those are the, "Boudoir Time" shades which they define as "pop" shades for cocktail hour, these shades are identified with the letter B in the shade card. And lastly the "Tonight in my night" colors, which are vibrant lovely, slightly warmer colors for a night out!


They had a special offer going on at the time i went and i was able to get a cute orange lipstick case which holds two lipsticks and has a nifty little mirror attached, with the purchase of two lipsticks, and needless to say, so i bought! Loving the lipase, so easy to find it in your bag without all the unnecessary digging in the handbag.


I got two nude shades for now, a lighter nude color for the day and a darker one from the night collection, i also must mention that the casing it really great, very cutely done with a metallic cover, feels heavy and very posh.

The porefessional - Benefit

About a month ago i was at sephora  hunting for a new primer when i spotted the porefessional and decided to go for it. Amused by the name of course and the pleased with packaging (benefit always has really cute packaging.. Big fan!!) i trotted back home and of course tried it right away... 

I wanted to get a true feel of the product and see if the claims were true or not so i didn't bother using any moisturizer and just applied the balm directly on to my face. i have to admit that i loved the texture and feel, it felt as if i was applying liquid creamy silk to my face and my skin instantly felt very subtle, smooth and flawless. 

i noticed a difference in my skin right away and overall the texture seemed better and my skin just looked and felt very smooth and clear.. i for one have a lot of redness around my nose area and have some prominent pores showing which really annoy me and this took care of all that in just a few seconds. 

i then applied some foundation and concealer over the balm which went on beautifully and blended in seamlessly. My foundation looked great and felt great, although i do feel like it gets slightly oily after a couple of hours, but then again i do have oily skin and i always get shinny after a while, nothing some good old face powder and a blotting paper can't take care of. =) Overall  i am very pleased and having been enjoying the porefessional practically everyday since then! love it and would definitely re purchase! 

The porefessional claims to be : oil free, lightweight, translucent and silky... Agreed! agreed! agreed and Agreed =) with a big "It really does minimize the appearance of pores" and makes your skin look and super awesome too! 

They also say you one can re apply the porefessional on top of make up to touch and freshen up...i havnt tried that as yet..i really should,  have you?  

Bodyshop

Bodyshop is currently having a sale here in Malaysia so I went and had a look, it was hard checking everything out with constantly being pushed and shoved!! (major rush due to the sale).
But I did manage to check out their home fragrance oils, which were nicely ignored by the public! Yay for me.., and what can I say other then they are really good and so totally worth the buy! Especially if you are looking for something that smells nice and isn't very expensive!
I also noticed that they had quite a range of fragrances which is always nice and helps everyone find something to their liking...
I brought home two, the aloe & soft linen one for our living area, it's a clean fresh crisp scent! Just perfect for the living area and then for our bedroom I got the pomegranate & raspberry one, which is a fresh, girly, sweet and just yummy fragrance! Also very fresh and perfect for the summers, although be warned! It is making me want to go run for some gelato! Mmmm!

I for one am a huge sucker for nice smelling things, be it my self, my clothes, my bath, the house, the bathrooms! Everything just has to smell good! And I just adore candles, especially scented ones! So burning an oil lamp is totally my thing, it looks pretty, and the fragrance due to the oil is a lot more stronger and lasting! And candles just add to the room and lift ones mood!! Ahh bliss!!
Give it try if you have not as yet and let me know what your favorite candles and oils are?
Xx
