L’Oreal Red Passion Lipstick as promised in 2 shakes of a lamb’s tail

Paris B 19 Comments

Last week, I showed you a picture of the new L’Oreal Made for Me Intenses lipstick in Red Passion. I also promised you a review in 2 shakes of a lamb’s tail … and then real life took over. Call it a slow motion shake of a tail k? 😛

So, now that I’ve gotten my urgent work stuff out of the work (temporarily) I needed something to brighten my mood and voila! Out came Red Passion!

Red Passion #643 is part of a new line of L’Oreal Color Riche lipsticks. The colours are strong and intense and bold! I mean look at Red Passion – its not a colour for the faint hearted is it?

Red Passion is stated to be for “Porcelain skintones” i.e. fair skin. To be perfectly honest, I’m not sure how accurate these descriptions are, because I know many fair skinned girls who are just too afraid of slicking on a bright red. Also, someone with darker skin might want to try it but upon viewing the description, might veer away from it. Personally, I don’t hold with labels – if it works for you, it does!

So anyway, wanna see how it looks on lips? 🙂

Revlon Beyond Natural 2 Way Foundation – My fave foundation from the drugstore

When I picked up the refill of my Revlon Age Defying 2 way foundation at a super steal during the last warehouse clearance, I should have thought better. Because Revlon has come up with a new 2 way foundation! Ack! 😛

Revlon Beyond Natural 2 way powder foundation

The Revlon Beyond Natural 2 Way Foundation has been out for a while and I’ve been using mine for a while too. It replaces the Age Defying 2 way foundation that comes in the red compact. This was flying off the shelves at one stage. Could never find a Revlon counter that was stocked with this! I’ve always had a soft spot for Revlon’s face products and this one does not disappoint.

There are 4 colours available and my colour is Buff. It suits me to a T and I like that this powder foundation isn’t cakey nor is it too thick. It offers medium-light  coverage which is fine by me.

Girly time at MWS Open Cafe #3 : Lets get chatty!

Paris B

Good morning girls!

Don’t those macaroons look gorgeous! Wait till I tell you that its Pineapple, Red Bean and Green Tea flavoured! How about that for fusion food 😉 (and they’re pretty good!)

Anyway its been a while since we had our last chat session so why don’t you grab yourself a macaroon and share some gossip or just what you’ve been up to, in the comments section below.

For me, I just lost a weekend. I ended up working all through last Saturday and Sunday – full days deep into the night and its not quite letting up just yet. The ol’ skin isn’t holding up very well to all this stress I can safely say. The upside is that the Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate might be helping me sleep! I just started using it so I can’t say anything conclusive yet. Stay tuned!

Maybe after all this is over, I’ll run away to a spa somewhere for some much needed R&R.

Have you any spa recs you’d like to recommend? Or lets just talk about you instead. How have you been? 🙂

The comments are open 😀
