Slick on the Cle de Peau Beaute Refined Lip Luminizer for a soft glow on lips that is like Sweet Satin or Sweet as Candy

New lipsticks in different textures are launched every other season, but it has been a while since I’ve noticed a new, slim-packaged, moisturising lipstick. So, when the Cle de Peau Beaute Refined Lip Luminizer dropped, I perked up a little.

Part of the reason is this – I bought one of their older versions of a lipstick in similar type of packaging, and I did not like it. I think it was called the Enriched Lip Luminizer or its predecessor, or something along those lines. You could buy refills and holders separately.

At the time, I was in love with the formula offered by these sorts of lipstick. I was still mourning the loss of the Dior Serum de Rouge, and I later moved on to the Chanel Rouge Stylo. Cle de Peau did not hit the spot.

So, years later, when recently confronted with the CdP Refined Lip Luminizer, I confess to being a little underwhelmed to try it. But in the spirit of being adventurous, I did.

And I’m glad I did! 😀

I’m loving these 8 things and I think you will want to save your ‘ang pow’ money for them

I have said that I do not want to be that blogger who pushes gift guides in your face. But I suppose I do, once a year, come the Lunar (Chinese) New Year.

However, it’s not conventionally a gift guide per se, as we don’t usually practice gifting of this nature at this time of year. So, it’s not a guide on what you can buy for others. Instead, it’s a gift guide for yourself – an idea on what beauty related items you could save your “ang pow” (lucky red packet) money to treat yourself 😀

That’s really the best part about the Chinese New Year isn’t it? Sure, it can feel like a hassle sometimes, and we are always pressed to look our best during the festivities, but “ang pow” makes everything a wee bit better. Those of us receiving it anyway! LOL! 😀 I know many people who read this are now at the giving end, rather than the receiving end, but there are always little windfalls that come by now and again – so consider this your “gift guide” to yourself 😉

So here are 8 items I think are absolutely worth saving your “ang pow” money for, and why I say so 🙂

Your Say: Do you have a No-Fail Foundation that you love above all others?

The heading of this post says it all – I want to know your No-Fail Foundation.

That one foundation that you will automatically reach for when you want to put your best face forward. The one foundation that you know leaves you with a beautiful glow without too much effort.

That one foundation that you reach for over and over again, and repurchase, because you just can’t live without it. That one foundation (or maybe more than one) that you are never without and that you can slap on any which way, and still have people oohing and aahing over how beautiful your skin looks.

THE ONE! Or maybe Two, or Three LOL! 😀

Your Say: What was the last foundation you finished and would you repurchase?

Last week, my friend sent me a picture of a finished jar of foundation. It was scraped clean. Every last bit had been used. I was very impressed. So I got to thinking – What was the last foundation I finished?

What impressed me further, was when she told me that she would repurchase it, because she was so happy with it. And I wondered again. Was there a foundation I loved so much I’d finish it AND repurchase?

Well, actually I have! And you have to tell me yours 😉
