All Dolled Up: Look #1 Red

Hi guys. I know I've never posted "look of the day" entries. One because I don't and can't take pictures of myself. I think I'm incapable of doing selcas. Another reason is my makeup rarely screams picture-worthy.

Anyways, I finally got permission from my sister to "borrow" her picture. I put makeup on her when she asks me to, and that's usually when she decides to flood her Instagram account or resuscitate her blog, and a few events here and there.

MEET MY KOREAN SISTER. NAH. =) KOREAN AT HEART

I mentioned on my previous entry here that she was the first one who got to really use my new palette. When she requested for red lips and winged liner to go with her floral-dress-denim-jacket-my-rubber-shoes combo, I was like "Ei?" I was scared she'd end up looking too made up. But, I remembered the look we did for the "Like A Virgin" girls for our Glee Musical in college. Same concept, but I toned it down a bit more. Here's a list of items I used on my sister. =)

For the Face:

1. Lovely ME:EX BB Cream (reviewed here)

2. 4u2 dreamGirl Lovelight BB Powder (reviewed here)

3. Careline Concealer in Oriental (my sister's)

For the Eyes and Brows:

1. For the brows, I used the dark brown color from my Wet N' Wild Belgian Chocolates Trio (reviewed here)

2. The eye makeup are all from my ADS palette (reviewed here)

* Cream color all over the lids

* Light taupe color for the crease

* White for the inner corners of the eyes and brow bone

* Black for the "soft-winged liner" and lower lashline

3. E.L.F Eyelid Primer (reviewed here)

4. Careline Color Pencil in Black for tight lining (reviewed here)

For the Cheeks:

1. My sister already has very prominent? cheek bones but I still did a little contouring with my Wet N' Wild Bronzer (reviewed here). No cheek color. =)

For the Lips:

1. For her Taylor Swift-red lips, I mixed my Maybelline Summer Sunset Lipstick (reviewed here), which has a deep ruby red color, with my sister's Avon Simply Pretty Lipstick in Celebrity Red, which is a more vibrant crimson red color.

2. I then asked her to put her Fashion 21 Grapes Clear Lip gloss only on the center of her lips. =)

Should I do more of this or nah? Lemme know! Cheerio!

Fashion 21: Color Shine Liquid Lipstick in #6

Hi guys. I got to leave work early today. There're still so much to do around our new place, but I decided to squeeze in just enough time to post another entry. I suddenly felt like I wanted another lip gloss. You know, just one of those days when you feel like you need something, but you just actually want it. Well, I'm having one of those days. And I feel like I need a lip gloss. Haha. 


Anyhow, my sister, my mom, and I dropped by Etude House yesterday, and I didn't know they were having a sale! It was great actually because my mom wanted to try their Bubble Hair Color after seeing me use it, and my sister wanted some lip product, so we ended up getting some stuff. 


So, here's a review on one of my lip products, which, as it was written on the container, a liquid lipstick: Fashion 21 Color Shine Liquid Lipstick in #6

 To be honest, I was arguing with myself if this was a #6 or a #9, but I ended up "feeling" like it was more of a 6.

This one is 100 bucks, with a brush applicator, which is one of the main reasons why I bought it in the first place.

However, that's all I know about the product, because I can't find its box. =(

 Sometimes, I think my sister's just gonna throw a fit because of me. I always, always use her as my guinea pig, whether in pictures or make-up testing.

Pros:

1. It's affordable

2. Great kind-of coral pink color

3. Stays on the lips for a decent amount of time (but that's without eating and drinking)

4. Brush applicator. I don't know why, but I always like brush applicators better than doe-foot applicators. It's a me-thing I guess.

Cons:

1. It claimed to be a liquid lipstick, so I expected a much intense pay-off of color, but it actually is more of a lip gloss.

2. It's sticky, and it stays sticky, so don't ever wear it if you're a jeepney or tricycle rider most of the time.

3. I wish the container felt a bit sturdier because I feel like it's gonna break whenever I drop it

All in all, it's a decent lip gloss, but if you're looking at it at a lipstick perspective, it's not much of a lipstick. Still, it's a good product to keep. Anyway, that's it for now. 

Any products you guys want me to check out? Lemme know. Cheerio!
