Chanel Rouge CoCo Shine (#89 Satisfaction)

Today I'll be talking about Chanel's Rouge Coco Shine Lipsticks.  The Rouge Coco Shine formula is supposed to have sheer color payoff paired with “lasting, moisturizing shine in a water-light texture.” I fell in love with a very dark but sheer eggplant colour when I was testing out the colours on my lips, but too bad that it is a limited edition some time ago and they no longer carry them. 

It is very challenging to find a varieties of very dark lipstick colours in Singapore, I find that the trends and people here are not very daring. A lot of people usually go for those safe colours here which I find that it is not ver exciting! I remember my younger days in my teens where a variety of shades are available even the dark ones too..the only thing back then is there aren't so many brands, I use to wear very dark shades but right now people are wearing much safer shades which is due to the Korean trend here I supposed.

Anyway I too got a very safe nude shade in the end.

Chanel Rouge CoCo Shine (#89 Satisfaction) (SGD $46) is a light-medium beige with warm undertones. It had semi-opaque color coverage, actually, which was surprising, as this formula is typically more barely-there. It has a soft shine and lasted three hours on me. It was slightly hydrating.

I do like the formula and will likely buy a few more if they have any other shades that I like. I might just have to pay more attention to their limited editions if they've got any unique or dark colours that I may "need"!!

I wish everybody an early Merry Christmas!! See you until my next post which will be up on this Friday...

Revlon: The Classic Super Lustrous Lipstick (#415 Pink In The Afternoon)

In Singapore one of the most common brand from the 'drugstore' is Revlon which happens to be one of my favourite 'drugstore' brand I love a lot. They always have great quality products and one of them happens to be their Super Lustrous Lipsticks Line. I remembered loving their #477 black cherry when I was really a really young teenage girl and back then it was a very trendy colour to wear dark lips.

But Singapore doesn't carry that shade anymore, the selection of shades here aren't that much. One of my favourite shade now happens to be a pink shade.

Revlon: Super Lustrous Lipstick (#415 Pink In The Afternoon) (SGD $18.90) is a beautiful soft coral pink, incredibly smooth and creamy with good pigmentation. It has a creme finish and not to say a great bargain for such a great quality product. Lasting power in such a hot and humid country like Singapore is always max 3 hours on me which is fairy common.

I'm not sure whether they are discontinuing this line a not because most of the time when new products comes out a lot of other older product might get discontinued, it's very common here in Singapore that we don't have a great variety compare to the States or even UK or Europe. I really hope not because they are the cult classics and not to mention great lipsticks!!

I really love their Super Lustrous line! What do you think?

Topshop Lipstick (Innocent)

Personally I love Topshop lipsticks and I think that they are comparable to Mac lipstick.  I find them long lasting and non-drying, but I do not like their packaging as the white will rub off over time as well as cling onto dirt easily.

I been searching for a light nude pink that suits my skin tone and this is definitely the one, I do prefer this colour over my Mac Angel and Creme Cup. 

Topshop Lipstick (Innocent) (SGD $19) is a light mid-tone pink with a blue under tone and a velvet finish. It is smooth and creamy leaving my lips not feeling dry at all. A fabulous colour which is pigmented. Lasting power is not that great but still at least a 3 hour before I need to reapply. For a 'drugstore' price it is definitely worth giving it a try and there are reasonable shades to choose from too.

What do you think? Have you try them yet? I will pick up more shades soon, I absolutely love them. 

Have a lovely day & see you soon!

New Spring 2014 Colour for Too Faced La Creme Color Drenched Lip Cream: Lollipop

I'm on a lipstick kick recently, never before and couldn't explain why. I guess lip products are the only makeup product that people can put on even when you are very old and don't look ridiculous. They just  look great on!

I love the formula of Too Faced La Creme lipsticks and finally found the new spring 2014 colour I have been searching for.

Too Faced La Creme: Lollipop (SGD $32 @ Sephora Singapore) is described as a 'violet with orchid shimmer'. It is a cool-toned fuschia shimmer with tiny bright pink glitters (can't feel the glitters at all) and has a blue sheen (like duo chrome). It had a semi-opaque colour coverage which is a lot sheerer then other La Creme. It still feels hydrating and glides on smoothly with a single swipe.

This is one of my favourite colour to wear when I feel I would like something brighter, and the peptides is always very smoothing and conditioning for my lips. It last a good 4 hours before I need to re-apply. Too Faced La Creme had never let me down before. You might want to check out another colour I Want Candy that I had review with swatches.

Highly recommended checking these out.

Tom Ford Lip Color: Spanish Pink (#01)

Finally entering the luxurious Tom Ford's world of makeup pretty late (it is better late then never...heehee), since they reach Singapore shores during November 2012. My intention was getting his Spring/Summer collection 2014 Sheer Lip Color but sadly the shipment was delayed and my fellow Singaporeans would only get it in April (that is what the counter staff said). I simply can't help myself and just have to get their lip colors from the permanent collection first.

The packaging is really sophisticated, classy and chic, encased in the iconic brown square shaped tube with 'gold' trimming and can be quite weighty. His lip colors are insanely pricey and it is difficult to justified buying unless I truly love that color.

Tom Ford Lip Color: Spanish Pink (#01) (SGD $70 @ Tangs Orchard) is a nude peachy pink, cream finish with a soft sheen and it is quite opaque on me. The consistency is very creamy and feels very comfortable on even my lips are dry and peeling slightly with a bit of bleeding (sorry my lips is in extremely bad condition when the photos are taken). This shade is quite moisturizing and it does not cling on any dry areas which I am quite impress I must say. It has a light sweet vanilla scent like Mac Creme Sheen Lipsticks which is not that overpowering.

I would not normally pay so much for just a lipstick so judging by the price the formula is expected to be high quality. I am willing to pay as long as the quality is really good and I believe there will be more new colors to add to my collection slowly and carefully. They are surely keepers, do try at least one if you can.

Do you own any Tom Ford Cosmetics & what do you think I should try next?

Too Faced La Creme Color Drenched Lip Cream: I Want Candy

I have been very curious about Too Faced La Creme lipsticks, I'm a fan of cream lipsticks but I find that most creams not moisturizing enough. Oh Gosh! I guess I finally found one that is really moisturizing. The La Creme formula is creamy. It felt like a balm with good colour payoff and a glossy finish. There is a light scent but not over powering.

These lippies comes in a weighty slim gold tube, and have a classy, elegant look.

Too Faced La Creme: I Want Candy (SGD $32) is described as raspberry rose and pigmentation is excellent with just a single swipe. It feels incredibly light weight simply glides on like butter onto the lips, maybe is because the formula includes peptides for smoothing and conditioning for the lips. It tends to last 2-3 hours on me which is normal, as most creamy lipsticks don't last too long due to the slip. 

Too Faced did a great job with their La Creme lipsticks, Highly recommend checking these out and I'm sure you 'll love them.

Definitely would picking up more of them. What colours do you think I should get? Lollipop?One of the new colours that is launch in the USA Spring 2014. Got to get them online if Sephora Singapore is not bringing in the new colours.
