I love Catrice blushes but not exactly thrilled by their  Catrice Eye Liner Pen in #050 Black Blue and recently I had try and tested their newest lipsticks formula in Ultimate Colour and Ultimate Shine and they are really great and budget friendly too. In Singapore you could get catrice products in selected 'Guardian' stores. The packaging are both quite weighty considering they are just drugstore products, simple but doesn't look that cheap if compared with Essence.

Catrice: Ultimate Colour (#050 Princess Peach) (SGD $7.90) is a warm peachy shade with a creamy finish.  They are highly pigmented with perfect coverage and shine, plus a smooth, creamy texture that glides onto the lips very easily. The lasting power on my lips are average of 3 - 4 hours before a need to retouch.

Catrice: Ultimate Shine (#180 Meet Violeta) (SGD $7.90) is a total impulse buy because I don't wear this pinkish lilac colour with a frosty finish but I do use it just to top over other pinks, purple shades sometimes just slightly on the centre of the lips to create a fuller look. Surprisingly quite pigmented and full coverage for a shine formula lipstick. The texture is very creamy, smooth and soft that melts with the lips and provides intensive moisture and shine. The lasting power on my lips are average of 3 - 4 hours before a need to retouch same as the Ultimate Colour formula.

Great formulas, nice packaging, and budget friendly prices so what can I possibly ask more. A definite must buy if you are on a budget. I love both of their formulas. So have you tried any Catrice products yet?

YSL Rouge Volupte Shine Lipsticks: Fuchsia In Rage (#19) Versus YSL Rouge Volupte Lipsticks: Fuchsia Tourbillon (#31)

I just love my YSLs, I simply love their packaging especially it looks extremely classy, elegant and luxe. I always feel very special when using them. 
Rouge Volupte Shine: Fuchsia In Rage (#19) (SGD $48) is a fuchsia with a purple undertone and with a glossy shine. It had a semi-opaque coverage where the natural lip color came through slightly. If you always wanted to try a purple you can definitely try this tone down shade. It glides on smoothly and feel extremely comfortable like a lip balm. 
Rouge Volupte : Fuchsia Tourbillon (#31) (SGD $48) is more of a bright pinky coral on me. It is pigmented and fully opaque color with a creamy finish on the lips. The formula is very creamy with a high degree of slip and its slightly thicker then the average lipstick.

-Please excuse my dry lips-

The wear of both formula is around 2 to 3 hours on me, I have extremely sensitive lips always prone to chapping and flaking with most of the brands even after putting on lip balm.

Do you have anything in mind or which to get yet?
