30 Days of Lip Colours Project: Did You Miss Any Or Have A Favourite?

Paris B 26 Comments

Before I go on, Happy Eid-ul Fitr / Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri to all Muslim readers! 😀 Enjoy your celebrations and the inevitable feasts 😀 I hope everyone else is enjoying the festive break wherever you are.

Ah, 4 months after I said I’d do a 30 Days of lip colours project, I’ve finally completed it. Yay for me 😛 Instead of boring everyone by going at it straight for 30 days as I did before, I opted to take it slow this time. Clearly, taking it slow means dragging it out but I’m glad I did, because in between, new lippies came into the picture which allowed me to showcase them (and give me an excuse to use them).

So by way of a round up, here are all 30 lip colours which include lipsticks and lip glosses. I will be on a break tomorrow (I’m presently away on vacation actually) but please come back in September. I have something terribly exciting lined up on the blog and I’m bursting to share the news. But it’ll have to wait till I get back 😉

Now, onto the 30 day project – did you miss any and do you have a favourite out of the 30 lip colours featured? Here are all 30 featured lip colours for your viewing pleasure.

Essence Metallics Quattro Eyeshadow 03 Copper Rulez : You Rulez Yo!

Paris B 22 Comments

I am a smart shopper. Before I went off to pick up some Essence Cosmetics products, I made sure I did my homework and my homework told me to stay away from Essence eyeshadows which are pretty but seriously lacking in pigment and staying power. So, my eyes glazed over when I saw the shadow singles. However, for some reason, when I spotted this palette in the Metallics collection, I couldn’t tear my eyes away. There are about 3 different palettes but this particular colour caught my eye – it must be this neutral phase I’m going through. The name is Copper Rulez – that z there makes it way too young for me 😛 Yo!

At RM14.90, into my basket it went. Preliminary swatches of the tester told me the pigment was fair and for me, at those prices, I was satisfied. What it contains is 4 powder eyeshadows and 1 gel liner. There are no applicators which is a good and bad thing.

At that sort of price, any applicator included would be crap – lets not mince words. However, at that sort of price and target market, you’d hardly expect the young girls buying to have a good set of brushes on hand. You can use fingers (works well enough) but not for the gel liner – but more about that gel liner later.

You know what though? I’m really digging this palette 🙂 I think it one of the best budget palettes I’ve gotten since… erm… never!

Day 21 of 30: Essence Cosmetics Stay with Me Berry Me! Lipgloss

Paris B 18 Comments

I’d been using this Essence Stay with Me lipgloss since I got it a couple of weeks ago. Its very affordable at just RM9.90 each and I had to see just how it fared.

The Essence Stay with Me lipgloss range is a longlasting lipgloss that comes in some strange colours, ranging from the bright to the strangely nude opaque pink and peach. I could not get the hang of the colours. The colours in the tube, are pretty much what you get and I went for something safe called Berry Me! which is a berry toned gloss.

Previewing Essence Cosmetics : Budget Makeup That Does Not Break Your Bank

Paris B 31 Comments

I’ve been very curious about Essence Cosmetics for a long while now. Gio raves about it and its really affordable in Europe from where it hails. So when I noticed the brand logo at a kiosk locally, I pounced and picked up 3 items.

You will be happy to know that these are also relatively affordable locally, although not at the crazily low prices of €2.99 and the like seen in Europe and the USA. Still, I’m not really complaining when these 3 items cost just slightly over RM40. RM40.70 to be exact! You get a whole face for under RM50! 😀 A couple of product pictures are below for your viewing pleasure.
