I'm not really a lipstick girl...But I seem to have an addiction to collect lipsticks...

The Dior addict line of lipsticks have a pretty nice range of colors. They tend to have a more sheer and glossy finish.

I have had the Highshine 454 for almost 2 years...and never really like it until recently. Surprisingly, I like this better than the Addict lipsticks. It offers a really nudey/soft/glossy finish to the lips, and its perfect for day time wear.

The lasting power of these lipsticks are quite short...So constant reapplying the lipstick might be required if you want to keep the same color as you initially applied.

I find these lipsticks only wear well when the lips are nicely moisturized. They tend to accentuate the lines between the lips and make the lips peel abit. I also have a small problem with getting some of the lipsticks on the front teeth, even though I blot it with a tissue paper before.

I personally prefers the Extreme line of lipsticks as it offers better pigmentation and lasting power. The Princess extreme is my new favorite color from Dior Spring 2013 ,as it provides a nice coral/pink color to the lips and perfect for both day/night wear.

Did I mention that these wear better on the lips as well? They don't emphasize the quacks on the lips as much, and provide a smoother/juicier finish :).

Review: Marc Jacob's Perfection Powder Featherweight Foundation

Deng Deng Deng! I placed an order through Sephora.ca about a month ago, as I was very interested in trying Marc Jacob's new makeup line. I pretty much made the order when the line was first launched, so I had no idea which will be hits or misses. The one product I wanted to try out was the powder foundation - Let's talk about the packaging... Like every other reviewers, Marc Jacob definitely did a great job in designing his products. He differentiated his products by rounding the 4 edges on the side, while keeping the traditional black sleek case trend. He also got a little silver push button at the side, which adds a little bit of classiness to the look. Once the compact is opened, you can see a huge mirror on the lid, and because of this, the weight of the foundation is relatively heavier compared to other compact foundations. Now on to the product - The color I got is 300 Beige (I am normally a shade 30 in Dior/Chanel foundations), which is

ANASTASIA - Lavish Eye Shadow Palette (swatches)

This eye-shadow palette is awesome! It comes with 10 different shades that are mostly warm toned. I love the staying power of these eye shadows (especially the darker ones). The palette also comes with - Dual ended eye shadow brush (meh) - Twist-up Waterproof eye liner (I love this eyeliner! It's pigmented and last all day. The only problem I have with this is that I see tiny smudges around the lower lash line after a day of wear) - Brow pencil (hint of brown, but color does not last all day) - Brow tweezers The lighter ones (cream/ballet/orange soda) are very sheer, but the darker colors are very pigmented.

Pandora Haul!!!

If you haven't heard of the Pandora 2013 March promotion, then start researching on it! The promotion for this Spring season is to spend over $150CAD and receive a free silver bracelet (value $75). To be completely honest, I was never really a fan of Pandora bracelets. I have always thought their design are dupe-able, same silver quality as any that you can find at a typical jewellery boutique. But sometimes, peer pressure get to you...(this sounds like an excuse LOL). And the only reason why I caved in to the bandwagon is that I want to own a bracelet, that I can collect special charms that can reflect some memorable time in my life. Or something that I can find special/relevant to me. One thing people need to keep in mind is that, the pictures in the Pandora website is a bit misleading. The photos of each charms look much bigger and shinier, but in real life, they are much smaller. Another thing to remember is that, the silver do oxidize after you wear for a while.
