::Revlon Colorburst Lipstick::


So I get this two lippies yesterday at local drugstore, Watson. I've been eyeing this lippies since last month and my heart is beating harder everytime i read other blogger raves how great these lippies are. So, to fulfill this desire of mine..i grabbed two of the shades which are Soft Nude and Peach.
:: Peach and Soft Nude::
First, I likes the casing,it looks so sophisticated and elegant. And the tube cap has a color shade on top it so it is easier to identify the color if it's in the bunch of lippies.
Then, i likes to word 'Revlon' is engraved on the lippies..i'm not sure why but personally i thinks it cool;)
::swatches:: Soft Nude, Peach ::
Soft nude - mute shade of pink, looks nice on the hand swatch but looks dead on my lip..have to top it with gloss. For me, i think i would use this for smokey look or heavy eye make up but not for everyday looks or on its own..definitely No-No for me!
Peach - looks sheer in the picture but actually, it looks coral on lip.suitable for work;p
::swatches on lip - Peach (top), Soft Nude (bottom)::

What I think of it?? Emm..
shades?well there is a wide selection and i like there are various shade to choose from. 
Pigmentation? it is pigmented...no doubt. 
Texture?  it feels light on the lip,no yucky taste or feel heavy. it glides smoothly upon application
Lasting? not sure yet about the staying power but it's a lipstick..so what do u expect??
i like it?? emmm..ya~ 
getting it again? maybe..i'm thinking of 'Blush'. 
Overall? good for another addition to lippies family;) U never know when u going to grab it..hehe it will be there in one of those days;)

so, before i end it here..gonna leave u with this smacker

:: Help!! My brush is bleeding.....::

As part of hygienic routine, i will wash my make up brushes once a week with mild baby shampoo/MAC brush cleanser/ELF brush Daily cleanser and new one, DAISO Brush and Sponge cleanser.
So today, i was using DAISO to clean my foundation brushes since i'm using REVLON Colorstay foundie so proper and meticulous wash is compulsory since this foundie is stubborn and leave residue of colour. I was using the same cleanser for my MAC 187 as well. After washing it with DAISO, i washed both brushes with mild baby shampoo to wash out the odd chemical smell. 
AND I was horrified when i noticed that my Sigma 187 is bleeding while i was  washing it. i noticed there was a bit of colour fading while washing it with DAISO brush cleaner although it helps to whiten the upper part of the brush. 

AND THE RESULT...

But, as i was leaving it to dry ..guess what..the colour is still bleeding and worsen!! my GOD, now..what can i do to revive it? is it still okay to be used?? any solutions to clear the bleeding part??
AND THE WEIRD/BETTER (??) PART..my MAC 187 didn't bleed at all..now, can u explain that?!! is it the brush quality or i'm using the wrong cleanser??
Grrrrrr!!!

:: Long hiatus ::

Ya, it's been a long hiatus~
i am totally busy with works ever since January and it seems like nonstop till now..plus, i'm moving to another phase of relationship~ :D I'm engaged:) so there's a ton of preparations need to be done..and now, getting busy with work again and of course, a wedding need to plan soon..

despite the long hiatus, i'm still a make up addict as it supposed to be..hehe i'm still hauling,finding new obsession..and yes, im addicted to lippies and blushes lately..excuses say, need to fine that perfect colour of natural pink flush..and i still haven't find one..yet;p been collecting blushes all these while and i must say i found a perfect peach colour...i think~ ;p

 MAC Blush Ombre in Ripe Peach!! it's from The Spring Forecast collection.this is the prettiest peachy pink colour i ever saw..i regretted that i didn't restock it. Now i'm saving it and uses it for special occasion only (since this is LE, don't know when it is going to be re-promoted..*sigh*)

It has sorta three shades, use alone each shade gives a nice glowing peach and blend all together will give a perfect flush of peachy pink;)

i also get a few lippies from collection mainly from Coral  and eyeshadow quad no.4
 


From top to bottom, left to right:
Manila Paper, Flip, Aztec Brick, Creole Beauty

the colour pigmentation of this quad is superb and i rarely use it because i want to save it for better occasion. still using it once in a while and use it when i feel like it;) but the Manila Paper is totally awesome for highlight!
All of the lippies are from the coral group - l/s: Color Me Coral (frost), Fresh Salmon (Lustre) and l/g in Ember Glow (nice shade of peach!! i heart this!)
:: swatches (L to R)-  Ember glow, Color me Coral and Fresh Salmon ::
