ELF Kiss It Goodbye Lip Color Remover: Removing Liquid Lipstick Is No Longer A Pain!

ELF Kiss It Goodbye Lip Color Remover
For those who have moved to the darker side aka liquid lipstick, you will understand when I tell you that removing liquid lipstick at the end of the day can be a pain. It is especially a pain to remove if you have darker shade on.

I did not know that there is product that are specially made to remove liquid lipstick until I stumbled upon an online seller selling this ELF Kiss It Goodbye Lip Color Remover. ELF Cosmetics has been my all time favourite affordable product to buy, however this brand is not available directly in Malaysia unless you get it from pre-order or online seller like I did. My favourite iHerb site carries a small varieties of ELF products but not the latest releases sad to say.

ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip and Ultra Satin Lip: Is It Worth The Hype?

Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip and Ultra Satin Lip
When it comes to lipstick, I am an absolute fan of matte lipstick. I am not into lip glosses, shiny lipstick, creamy lipstick that sorta thing. I want matte and nothing but matte. Liquid lipstick releases here has been a hit and miss. Somehow the formula does not seems to be right – too sheer, does not dries down completely matte, too liquidy and so on.

ColourPop came, making a huge fuss in the beauty scene due to the affordable USD$6 price tag. They first released Lippie Stix in five formula – Sheer, Satin, Matte, Créme and Glossy. Out of the five, I have collected one each for Satin, Matte and Créme, which I will talk about soon 🙂 . Then came Ultra Matte Lip with mixed review. And the recent release would be the Ultra Satin Lip.

L’Oreal Tint Caresse: The 1st lip gradation pen for eyes, lips, and cheeks

I love bizarre beauty products. Bizarre in the sense that it is something unique or never seen before in the beauty scene, and something that looks like ordinary but gives you the wow impression. And I especially love products that are not available in Malaysia. It gives me a sense of uniqueness of owning something that is not easily available here. The fact is, there is this product from L’Oreal that is available in Hermo.my that I am not aware of until last week. L’Oreal Tint Caresse is available exclusively at Hermo.my and to make the exclusivity even more exclusive, Tint Caresse is ONLY available for 2 weeks. Say what?

L'Oreal Tint Caresse
L’Oreal Tint Caresse is the 1st lip gradation pen that are inflused with tints from the most refined blend of precious flowers. It comes with an applicator with soft cushion tip which also works well in blending in color on the lips for the most natural ombre effect instantly. This is not my first time seeing such soft cushion tip design as I have used something similar for the eyes from Anna Sui before. But Anna Sui one was a pain to use so let’s not get into there.

Maybelline Velvet Matte: Liquid-to-matte liquid lipstick that doesn’t turns matte

One thing I hate about Facebook is that they are changing the way news feed appears on our timeline so frequently that I’m constantly missing new updates from the pages I’m following. Maybelline Malaysia has been teasing us with their new matte liquid lipstick and all that does not appear on my timeline. I only found out that Maybelline has a new Velvet Matte liquid lipstick when I was browsing through Guardian Malaysia Facebook page for their weekly promotions (love Guardian promo). Coincidently, it was the last day of Velvet Matte promo price of RM26.15 that I just had to drive to a Guardian to get it. Before that, I google for swatches online and concluded that I would get MAT 12 only as the rest of the colors are just too bright for everyday wear. For me that is 😀

Maybelline Velvet Matte
Maybelline Velvet Matte by Color Sensational is a liquid-to-matte velvet finish liquid lipstick. What this means is, this is a lipstick in liquid form that would set to a velvet matte finishing. The concept is pretty similar to Anastasia Beverly Hills liquid lipstick which is like the queen of all liquid lipstick. I personally like matte lipstick, not so much of a liquid lipstick fan due to the hassle application but if it’s gonna set to a matte finishing, count me in!

Essence Longlasting Lipliner: Who would have thought a lipliner that cost less than 10 bucks is this good

Essence and I, we don’t get along. I used to like the brand until they screwed up customer service on their social media. Then came a nut case going after me on Facebook because the eyeliner pot I bought was all dried up and Essence did not want to take responsibility. It’s either this nut case is a hard core fan of Essence cosmetics Malaysia or she is someone working in Essence Malaysia lol. Anyway…

So. I’ve been hearing about the Essence Longlasting Lipliner for quite some time. I am on the lip liner kick a few months ago and it never crossed my mind to even check out Essence. Why spend on a brand that doesn’t care about their customer and customer service right? That’s what I had in mind for years. One crazy afternoon swatching at Watsons without any supervision and that’s it. I went home with these lip liners.

Essence Longlasting Lipliner
Despite the brand having a permanent placement in selective Watsons stores and they are quite easy to bump into, I always find that their products are either out of stock or they are not fully displayed. I absolutely hate shelves that are neither here or there. The Longlasting Lipliner are quite a new range in Essence and they are a pain to search for. It is always out of stocks. I finally found tons of it at Watsons Damansara Uptown. That afternoon, I bought just 2 lipliner – 08 Girl Next Door and 07 Plum Case. A week later, I took a casual morning stroll at Watsons Kajang and bought another 2 lipliner – 05 Lovely Frappucino and 06 A Girl’s Dream.

Estée Lauder Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick: So comfortable on the lips that you won’t remember you had any on

Last year, Estée Lauder Malaysia launched an Asia exclusive Pure Color Envy Shine Sculpting Lipstick, where everywhere else was Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick. The shine version has more moisture and a healthy sheen to it and understandably, we had entered into the “matte” trend whereas the less sheen the better! Just a few months ago, Estée Lauder brought in Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick. With all the good reviews surrounding this version of lipstick, I was intrigued to find out myself if this is better than the shine version or they are as equally good.

Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick Envious
I received the most compliments when I’m wearing a red lipstick. I’m more of a mauve shade girl as I always feel insecure with my thick lips. Surprisingly everyone I know like to see me with red lipstick so here I am. I don’t own a lot of red lipstick. The Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick in Envious is probably my 2nd red lipstick 😀 .
