Lipstick Challenge: Day 16

Revlon super lustrous lipstick in twinkled pink (413). 

Lately I've been wanting to wear a nude lip and then I remembered I have this one. I think this colour is subtle, girly and very flattering. However, this lIatick stinks. I hate the smell!! A beauty blogger once said she had a highlighter that smells like ladybugs. I'm not sure what they smell like but there is something similar happening. Every time I use this I can't believe how bad it smells. It's so bad. 

Everything else about this product is good. I haven't worn it much but I like the texture and wearability. 

That's all for now. 

Lipstick Challenge: Day 15

Clinique high impact SPF 15 in extreme pink. 

Same as all Clinique lipsticks but more pigmented, as the name suggests.

I always know which cup is mine ;)

Lipstick Challenge: Day 14

Revlon just bitten kissable balm stain in honey (001). 

I should have just combined this one with rendezvous. Here's the link to that review:

This colour is gorgeous. It lasts forever. 

Exciting announcement!!!! I'm starting a beauty YouTube channel! I filmed my first video last weekend and it's being edited. I'm hoping to have it all up and running this weekend. I will also likely have a corresponding blog of the same name, which means this blog will return to being about Japan. I will post more info as soon as it's ready!

That's all for now!

Lipstick Challenge: naked lips!

A friend of mine, you know who you are lovely, suggested I post a photo with no lipstick. Gasp! Haha. I think it's a great idea to give everyone a reference point. I think my lips are quite pink with no colour on.  

So here you go!

Lipstick Challenge: Day 13

Clinique almost lipstick in black honey (06). 

I got a sample of this in a Clinique bonus a few years ago and liked it so much I bought the full size when it ran out. I wear this during fall and winter. It's more of a lip stain than a lipstick. 

It looks much darker in the tube than it does on the lips. It feels very moisturizing and nice. I love this product. I love the colour, the packagin, and formula. I haven't looked at the other colours available in this line but I would consider getting another one. It's similar to but less glossy than the canmake rouge-on lip balms I reviewed last week. They have similar coverage and opacity. 

That's all for now. 

Lipstick Challenge: Day 12

Bite beauty luminous creme lipstick in pepper. 

Some of you may have noticed that it's been more that 12 days since my first post. To you I say, don't worry about it. So I haven't been posting everyday. So what? I'm amending the challenge so that it doesn't interfere with my regular life. I'm very busy and important. (Just kidding)

On to the lipstick! I got this little sample with my sephora points. Normally I think the little point products suck so I was happy to see a lipstick in the display when I hit 100 points. I had never heard if this brand before but I like this product a lot. It's very creamy, as the name would suggest. At first I thought it was the same colour as tender heart by Clinique (review to come) but this one has more of a berry undertone, where tender heart is more brown. Both are 'my lips but better' neutrals and exactly the kind if colours I reach for in the fall and winter. 

This is a great little product. I would definitely consider purchasing this one or a different shade in this line if I found this brand in Japan. 

That's all for now. 

Lipstick Challenge: Day 11

Rimmel London moisture renew lipstick in coral queen (620). 

Another coral! I know. This is my last coral lipstick. I bought this because I had heard good things about the formula on YouTube and Superstore was having a sale. 

I kind of wish this lipstick was matte and had better lasting power. It leaves really noticeable rings around the edges of the lips when it wears off. The colour is great though, and it doesn't dry out my lips. Also I like the purple packaging. 

I took this photo on the Shinkansen. 

That's all for now.
