I’m definitely a nude lippie kinda girl. I just tried on my Oasis Lip Smacks. It is definitely rare to see a gloss being able to achieve the nude lips.. It' is extremely pigmented (which I love) and gives the hint of gloss. I’ve definitely gone to be a lipstick person but this really changed my mind. =P

The rest of my face is pretty blah.. I’m going through a bout of breakouts AGAIN. Thanks to the temperature drop, my skin is feeling really tight again. I decided to skip all Classy Minerals/MMBB skincare products. Actually I ran out of the dead sea mist.. So it’s just the AHA and Purifying cleanser left.

I did a really simple 4 step routine today. Jurllique soothing foaming cleanser, followed by Jurlique daily exfoliating cream, Clinique clarifying toner in no. 2 and my Priori skin brightening complex. My skin still feels like it needs more moisture but upon touch, it feels really supple. So I’m not going to overdo anything in case I break out again. Urgh!

Sorry for the rant post. I needed to rant about this. My skin is bugging me a lot.. On the brighter side, my interview for my Uni application (I decided to transfer out..) is tomorrow. Hopefully it will be successful.. Wish me luck! I would probably need it.

When Coastal Scents had its Memorial Day sale, I grabbed the rest of the lip smacks that I wanted..

And being the brush ‘ho I am, I couldn’t resist checking out without getting a brush. So with Inan’s review on the CS brushes she bought for her sister, I gotten myself an Italian Badger crease brush.

I still do like the lip smacks.. I use it for my casual looks.. Just a single eyeshadow colour, eyeliner, blush and the lip smacks.. =D Here’s an example of it.. 

p.s. Sorry about my bed hair.. LOL~ my hair seems to curl up now with all the weight gone. =P

I know that I'm a little late in reviewing my lip smacks BUT I finally finish trying out all of them. My favourites are definitely Monroe a Go Go, Mega Mauve and Pep Pink.

I’m quite bad in giving reviews.. I based my order on TiffanyD’s review (and she has amazing swatches!). However, do keep in mind that all of us have different skintones and our favourites could be very different. TiffanyD didn’t like Mega Mauve but it works extremely well for me. Although I do agree with her that Monroe a Go Go is such a pretty shade. So go figure!

I thought that I’ve out grown the glossy finish of lipglosses but the lip smacks complete changed my mind! I do not quite like the heavy texture of MAC lipglasses but I still buy them for their shades. However, they usually just sit around in my vanity drawers.

I’ve done a couple of looks recently with them.. Browse through my holiday FoTDs if you are interested. The good news is Coastal Scents’ Friday weekend sale is now on.. 16% off storewide using the code PEACE.

I’ve already ordered more.. Courtesy of the Hubs! LOL~ And I just might swap away all of MAC lipglass! 

I decided to jazz up my look a little today as I was wearing an all black outfit. However, it didn't turn out the way I would like it to be but I wasn't bothered to re-do it.

p.s. I'm using CS lip smacks in Sheer Crimson here!

My face is still breaking out a little.. But its less bumpy now with a good skincare routine. I’m still waiting for my sunblock to arrive.. I really do need a sunblock.. *Sigh* And also, I really need to cut down on the amount of Sze Chuan food I’ve been eating.. LOL!~ It has crazy amounts of chili and chili oil in it. Eeps~

We went to Adelaide Hills and Hahndorf (a small German town in SA) today to celebrate Mother’s day. It was a pretty good Mother’s day.. Well, I shall end this post with a photo of me and my girl.. I’m not too bothered now to blog about my hauls. *Looks apologetic*

Another grey look for today! I tend to wear a lot of grey and blacks.. So my looks are starting to look alike. LOL~

We went to the park near our apartment.. It was a beautiful day out.. My DD loved it there.. So did we.. We sat by the pond and watch mandarin ducks swim about..

I badly need a contour blush! My face look really flat and… FAT! I’ve been trying out the lip smacks.. LOVE them! What an awesome alternative to MAC lipglass. They’re pigmented and stay quite well (as well as lipgloss could).

Initially, I wanted to pair my look with Flippin Hot.. but I think you could guess why I swapped it for Pep Pink instead! LOL~ 

p.s. It’s actually way more intense than this!

p.p.s. This was yesterday.. I'm trying to catch up with my vox blogging!

I decided to do a “safe” look today.. I wasn’t too sure what I was going to put on.. So I decided to go with my Burberry scarf..

Here's the first photo I taken.. Then the close up..

I realised I didn't draw my brows in the previous photos and went back to get it done.. However, Hubs decided to horse around. FINALLY, one good photo! Yay!
