Lipstick

Of the 3 items I tried in the Clinique x Jonathan Adler, there is 1 that I will say is a must have!

Do I pay a lot of attention to Clinique makeup? I’m afraid not. I know they do some solid pieces, but they aren’t what I’d call exciting, or even sexy. But the new, limited edition Clinique x Jonathan Adler collection is going to change that. Here is a collection I can get behind.

As Jonathan Adler said “My collection for Clinique is for women who want to crank up their glamour factor to eleven” Sign me up Jon!

And for a limited edition collection, one that promises not to break your bank. Clinique teamed up with designer Jonathan Adler, for a collection that shrugs off the more youthful, rather staid image of Clinique, and turns their makeup into art pieces, worthy of display in your flat lays, or in your makeup pouch. I mean, look at that lipstick! I was cooing all over it, enthralled by the beautiful geometric printed cover, capped by an acrylic, gem-like cabochon. I loved the look of the lipstick the most, and the wallet-friendly prices help you want to collect them all.

There is just one wee little down-side.

In my quest for another nude lipstick to love, Charlotte Tilbury is Bitch Perfect

If you’ve been with me for the past 10 years, you’d be quite familiar with a few things about me. One of it is that my choice of lipstick colour is at the brighter end of the colour spectrum. Specifically, I wear red or bright lipstick colours. Rarely a nude because no one wants to look like a walking corpse.

Well, not me at any rate. Yet, after years of dabbling in makeup, I might have found a nude lipstick that works for me. I found it first in Chanel’s Rouge Allure Ink in Amoureux, which I swear I need a back up of! It’s such a perfect colour for me.

Secondly, I’m not a fan of desserts, sweets and cakes. To see 2 of them in one picture therefore, means the moon is blue, and there’s a cow jumping over it LOL! Incidentally, I’ve found another nude lipstick that works for me. Hallelujah!

Or maybe let’s not raise our hands so quickly, because while I like the colour a lot, I feel that the formula leaves a lot to be desired.

It does leave me in the minority, I feel, because this lovely nude lipstick, with the perfect kickass name of “Bitch Perfect” is by Charlotte Tilbury.

With YSL Beauty back in Malaysia let me share one of my faves – the YSL Rouge Volupte Shine Lipstick

Most of you would have been aware of the huge excitement surrounding the re-entry of YSL Beauty into Malaysia recently. They were here many years ago, but pulled out, and are now back, with lines still happening outside their solo store in Pavilion KL, waiting for the free engraving. Hmm… Know what? I still haven’t visited the YSL Beauty store! LOL! Not one to queue for this, me.

I’ve been getting many queries from people, asking me “Is YSL really all that? Are their lipsticks really as nice as everyone claims them to be?” Because you see, they can’t be arsed to queue either! LOL! 😀

Well, I have to say that I can understand why their lipsticks get a lot of love. They’re beautiful to look at, lovely to hold, and have beautiful colours. Also, I believe they’re probably one of the more affordable items in store to buy 😛 Don’t quote me – haven’t stepped into the store, remember? 😀

I have a couple of the famed YSL Rouge Volupte Shine Oil-in-Stick lipsticks, so I’d just quickly share some thoughts with you. For the record, have also tried Rouge Pur Couture lipsticks (square packaging) but I’m not a fan of those – too drying.

I really enjoyed the Burt’s Bees Lipstick but I’m afraid it is my Sunset Cruise for I can’t fully recommend it

A while ago, when I was down in Singapore and browsing the Sephora sale, I came upon the Burt’s Bees display. I have tried the odd bit and bob from the brand in terms of skincare, but if I’m to be honest, it never quite stood out for me. Asked to describe it, I’d say it’s “Meh!” at best. Yes, “meh” is a description LOL!

But at the back of my head, I remembered reading somewhere about the newly launched Burt’s Bees Lipsticks and how nice they were. So I got curious, and eventually picked one up for the sake of experimentation.

The Burt’s Bees lipstick comes in a long rectangle tube, with the colour band denoting the colour of the lipstick. After a few moment swatching at the counter, I decided to stay away from my usual bright colours, and go instead, for a warm everyday shade. I eventually settled for Sunset Cruise.

The colour, when swatched on the back of my hand, as you’ll see below, fit what I was looking for. A light coral, a colour I could wear daily and one that was not too obtrusive. Little did I realise that while the colour disappointed me a little, I really enjoyed using this. With one big caveat.
