[LANEIGE]- moisturizing lip balm & Intense serum lipstick in Neon Orange & [ETUDEHOUSE]- Face conditioning cream(Awesome)

Last week when i was walking around JEM, while waiting for the boy to end work, i passed by Etudehouse and saw this huge ass board at Etudehouse advertizing on their new product which is the face conditioning cream. I didn't intend to stop and look, however, i had some time to spare so why not. And i'm glad that i did. When i tried the cream on the back of my hand, it felt so smooth and so easy to blend, unlike their CC cream. The girl told me that this cream can be like a moisturizer or like a base before you apply any BB or CC cream which is very very good. Because usually i dont use makeup base coz i find them to be very oily on my face and i dont like the "thick" feeling like you are putting a lot of products on your face. I like to keep my face as light as possible and yet there must be some make up on to cover my flaws such as uneven skin tone and sometimes to cover some redness due to my sensitive skin.

Anyway, i bought it! coz it's only $19.90. It came in a very huge tube. Which i was quite surprised. I tried it on my face and applied it everyday since last week. And definitely my complexion really looks so much better with it on. As to what they claim - that the cream can condition you face and fix your make up to fit your skin tone. It's like.. amazing la!

Even if it doesn't really work for anyone, it can serves as a very good moisturizing base.
When i apply it, my skin looks so porcelain-like. lol! Which is a good thing because ive been looking for some product which could give me that Korean-porcelain-face look! Which is very difficult because due to our weather in Singapore, it's just too hot and humid. I think for countries like Korea, HK, Taiwan where they have like winter season, their skin is so much better!

Ok, to continue..... I also went to Laneige. Sighs. actually i placed an order at qoo10 for the intense serum lipstick in YR25 Neon orange. But after waiting for 2 weeks, the seller told me it was out of stock. I was mad furious ok! And i decided to go Laneige and get the lipstick instead.
And of course, i got their mosturizing lip balm as well. The lipstick is kinda pricey. It costs $34 and it's even more expensive than Urban Decay's lipstick. You add another 10 bucks you get Chanel's.
-.-

Anyway, i think... the product doesn't really justify itself for the hefty price paid. Although it is very very moisturizing, it just doesn't glide on nicely and evenly.. as in, it just felt like way TOO smooth.. usually lipstick needs to have  alittle bit of dryness in it right.. in order for the colour to set onto your lips.. and with the correct amount of dryness and moisturizing agent.. then you get the perfect combination. For the serum intense, it is really too intense.. for me la...
With only 1 swatch, my lips look like this already.... see below....

Kinda scary right... the colour is just soooo intense! Like it will smudge anytime and EASILY.  lol!  So, i tried another way to use it which is just to dab the colour onto my lips with fingers. Taught by the sales girl at Laneige.
That is probably better i guess.. for a more wearable look!

 So which is better?

For the lipbalm, to me, it just feels like any other lipbalm. Too overpriced for $22!
The vaseline in the red round tin which i bought at Mustafa for $2.90 is way  better!
And so far, Mustafa hasnt stock up for it yet, therefore, i am still hunting for a better lipbalm. :(

FOTM: YSL Lipsticks, MAC, Sephora, makeups

FOTM. haha.. i am rather surprised to see myself using this. Favourites of the month!

yup, im going to post some of my favourtie buys of the month! After watching" My love from another Star", i was so mesmerized by the look of Jun JiHyun (Cheong song yi) from the drama. She was out straight gorgeous with the simple makeup but stunning lipstick colours which just suits her so much! At first while watching the drama, i just thought " wow, she looks stunning" but i didn't thought after googling about her makeup and all.

Just when i was browsing through qoo10, there were a lot of ads about lipsticks and i just clicked on it to see amore was selling lipsticks featured by Jun jihyun and i immediately placed order for the #44 Forever Pink from Amore pacific and also the IOPE cushion (very very much raved by the Koreans). So, ive decided to give it a try. I did ordered the Laneige YR25 Neon Orange (also featured in the drama) but the seller told me it was out of stock after i waited for like 2 weeks! So i canceled it and bought it from Laneige counter at Jurong point. I guess, this month, omg, i spent a big bomb on lipsticks only! I cant believe it. Its like, 不买就不买, 一买就买了一大堆-可以用几年啊!
haha. A little bit "chisin" i know. And of course, the highlight of the drama is YSL Rouge Pur Couture no 52 which is currently sold out worldwide. (as of March 2014).
I could not get it anywhere.. but i ordered it through taobao. Not sure if it's trustworthy but i just give it a try. The store in sg said minimum have to wait for 2 months for stock to arrive.

I decided to try the intense serum lipstick in neon orange after reading Qiuqiu's blog about it. And she looked gorgeous in it. However, i tried on it, and just feels like didn't work out. I guess i need to search for a few more ways to use it coz ive tried and i look like a clown sia. OMG!

Actually for the MAC lipsticks, one of them was chosen by the boy. He said the candy yum yum is nice... and then i was like, wow, i didnt know you knew the popular colours! haha.. actually he didnt know it... hmm, does that mean that libra-ians have awesome fashion sense?
Or the both of us have the same taste!  :p
haha.. so buay paiseh me..

anyway, thanks the boy for getting me the YSL lipstick... that was my 1st high end lipstick..
It was so pricey for just a small thing. But the packaging is awesome! Im totally in awe of it!
I can jut stare and stare at the packaging whole day long!
The lipsticks are so pigmented and moisturizing. Although not as much as the Laneige intense serum. It just glided nicely on your lips and you dont have to swatch so many times to get the colour out. If you get what i mean. :) Anyway, i really love them!

just so pretty! :)
