Loving the vibrancy of the Hygr Tinted Lip Balm in Hibiscus but hoping they’ll improve on one little thing

I’m not one to wear lip balm or tinted lip balm very often. I’m a lipstick girl through and through, and am unashamed about it.

But livestyles and opinions can change, and social media ads are incredibly persuasive LOL! 😀

I came across the Hygr Natural Tinted Lip Balm on Instagram, and when I clicked through to have a look, I continued being served their products more and more, until one day, I caved and bought the Hygr Tinted Lip Balm to see what was so great about it, and why people were hyping about it.

Mask off, bold lip colours on! The Chanel Rouge Allure l’Extrait Refillable Lipstick heralds a return to wearing lip colour

Malaysia has finally joined many other countries in allowing us to remove our masks in public (with exceptions), after 2.5 years of mandatory mask-wearing. I can’t say I’m terribly excited about the news, as I intend to continue masking for the near future, but I understand how that appeals to the sense of normalcy that many people crave.

But the mask-off policy means that we can go back to wearing lipstick!

What better time then, to tell you about the new Chanel Rouge Allure L’Extrait refillable lipsticks.

Chanel calls this the Rouge Allure l’Extrait High Intensity Lip Colour, and I did not appreciate that description until I swatched them.

I was quite blown away! Now, THIS is a warm welcome to the return of lipstick! 😀

When we’re ready to wear lip colour in public again, it’s going to be Chanel Rouge Coco Bloom

It’s been so long since I put a lipstick to my lips, I’d almost forgotten how it feels. The past 1.5 years of wearing a mask when out (and not wearing makeup when at home) has consigned most of my lipsticks to the bin.

And I had some really nice ones too!

Perhaps, as a hope of renewal in 2021, and not without a healthy dose of optimism, Chanel decided to launch a new range of lipsticks – Chanel Rouge Coco Bloom.

Promising a hydrating plumping formula and intense shine, these new lipsticks promise to be a treat on lips. And I do like them!

Yes, you can still wear lipstick under a facial mask!

Now that wearing a face mask has become the ‘new normal’, I’ve come across many people bemoaning the fact that there is no more point to wearing lipstick, or any lip colour.

For one, it’s covered by your mask, so what’s the point?

Second, lip colours will transfer onto your mask, and it smears and makes a mess.

But you know what? I still wear lip colours, especially lipstick. I feel naked and unfinished without a slick of lip colour, so let me tell you how I manage, and the types of finishes I pick to avoid smearing 🙂
