My Perfect Nude Lip Color!

As a girl who loves make up, we're all looking for our perfect nude lip color right? No matter how much you love red, vampy or fancy lip color, nude is a need. It works for any lazy days and all.

So stu*id of me, i own all these products for year and don't even realize how good they're together.

Enough for intro, and here i announce them :

Maybelline Baby Lips
MAC Lip Pencil shade Boldly Bare (full review here, originally from MAC Rebecca Mosses Illustrated Nude Lip Kit)
Benefit Ultra Plush Lip Gloss shade Dallas (featured on my post : for the love of Dusty Rose) 

I have such a dry lips so i need to add lip balm here, even if it doesn't contributing in color/shade. It is completely clear. And any other lip balm will do, it's just the one i currently use.

The picture has show you how close they're in spectrum. No wonder they could work superb together!

 

I was tried to make a step by step but found out that the pictures are too blur to use. Sorry. Please refer to original review of MAC Rebecca Mosses (link above) to see it closely.

 

All i do is :

Put lip balm on

After it's half dry, use lip pencil all over lip.

Add the lip gloss

DONE!

 

Here's how it looks on my lips :

 

 

What do you think?

Not too orange, not too brown, and not too pink.

Goal reached.

(if it just one product rather than 3.. Oh well..)

This combination last about 2 hours with few sip of drink and 3 hours without drinking or eating.

And here's how it look on my face :

Okay, i'm cheating here. I use Samsung's beauty face feature to hide my large pores. The colors still kinda accurate though. Hopefully it gives you better idea about my new favorites ^^~

Thank you for reading me babbling around!

Maybelline Color Tattoo Metal Eyeshadow #70 Barely Branded, Review & Swatch

I guess i'm being out of hype, talking about Maybeliine's Color Tattoo today. However, this is a permanent shade and haven't arrived yet in Indonesian Maybelline Counter (dunno it would be here or not) so i think it's okay ^_____^

what maybelline say about it :

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT

Dare to shine 24/7.

• Ink technology creates 24HR wear shadow for our most intense, long-lasting color saturation.
• Cream formula glides on without creasing and keeps color vibrant.

FOR BEST RESULTS

Using fingertips, sweep all over eye from inner corner and work outwards. For added drama, darken as desired.

Barely Branded (#70) is a warm beige with metallic finish. Being in a natural, beige range, barely branded is easy to love, but in another view, it's pretty standard. You might have one in the same shade in powder form.

I rarely use BB alone, though i think it's simply can brighten your eyes when it's use lightly on your eyes. When it used with powder eye shadow, BB makes the eye shadow apply more vibrant, less creasing and last a lil bit longer. For the last purpose, eye primer will always work better.

*ugh* i'm so sorry for the double blog name in the pic, i think i mistaken it at second editing T___T

Maybelline Color Tattoo Metal Eyeshadow's bottom part is made from clear but heavy and thick plastic jar. You can definately see how the product inside looks like.

Here's the top part, made from thick black plastic. It doesn't have box, like the most drugstore product nowadays, only sealed with clear plastic.

It contains of 4g of product which is generous.

The jar is pretty small, but takes place in my make up bag. I wouldn't carry it in my daily basis.

There it swatch-ed using my ring finger, under the sun light.

And there i show you how maybelline barely branded makes the eye shadow color appear more vibrant. It's even almost solid in my opinion.

This is one of my very first cream eye shadow, and i'm kinda like it.

I also have another shade in my drawer and i like it too!

Have you tried cream eye shadow?

Dreaming about Matte with Maybelline

hi Readers :)

i believe you all have your own Holy Grail product, and here's one of mine : Maybelline Dream Matte Powder in Sand.

Sadly, Maybelline Indonesia doesn't bring this one in, so i have to order from drugstore.com to get it. It's totally worth to wait, the shade is perfect to me, it does what it promise (a matte finish, doesn't clog pores) and it doesn't break me out. Another best things is the price. I got it for around IDR 85.000, i dont remember exactly but it less than IDR 90.000. :)

The Product

Maybelline Dream Matte Powder Compact, Sand, Medium 0-1

0.32 oz (9 g)

How lovely the compact is!

It has a transparant cover, and when you swirl it, you can find a puff and mirror inside. I heart it! And it also sooo nice to see everyone's face when you use it to touch up in Women's Rest Room, they'll think it's unique!

The coverage is medium, good enough to cover my pores but not my blemishes, i still need a little help from my little miss concealer to do that job. The staying power is good enough, i use it to touch up around 3 hours after the first time i use it. And matte finish is as good as their promise.


Another things to say, puff came with the compact is good enough, i always use it everytime i need. It can get right amount of product and help you to blend the product well.

Swatchadamia

actualy, it comes in 3 shades : Cream, Beige and Sand. Since i ordered it only, i've just guessing that sand is the one for me, and that's true!
Sand is match for neutral skintone person, especially in warm undertone. When i swatch it using finger, it only shown a little bit, and in my back hand, it almost unshown so i'm not taking picture of it.

This compact powder is good for you if :
You need a matte finish compact powder, in unique packaging and reasonable price.

This compact powder is not for you if :
You don't like to order it online (if you're in indonesia),
You can't decide what shade you have to buy by only seeing it online
You prefer to bring loose powder on the go

thanks a lot for reading
