FIRST IMPRESSION REVIEW: ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip Tulle

I am new to the whole lipstick world. Lipstick had never been a concern of mine until recently when I joined a local makeup group on Facebook where I bought this lipstick from another member that I jumped head first into the world of lipstick. And goddamn loving it. So yes, my review right now would be inexperienced and biased and it may sound something like what a sixteen-year-old would say after their first drink, but goddamn, I'm loving it.


The colour I will be reviewing is Tulle which is described on the website as "not the douchey kind but a dusty mauve burgundy." I chose to buy this colour because of my yellow undertone and lighter 'nude' colours make my lips disappear. Honestly. It looks like I don't have lips. (I'll post photos later.) I always go for the darker colour to play it safe and damn, didn't I hit the jackpot.


LET'S GET PHYSICAL


The packaging is so cute and so elegant. It looks like the packaging of a high end brand but with cheaper price tag. I love how sparkly the wordings are as you can see on the first picture. It comes in a cardboard box and it does tear easily but this has no effects on the actual lipstick.



There's nothing special about the bottle and the applicator. It does feel really sturdy but I wouldn't be surprised if it cracks or even breaks if I drop it. The sponge part of the applicator does not absorb much and even on my full lips, I only need to dip once. This makes it cost-efficient because you don't need to apply more.

FORMULATION

Without flash

With flash
They weren't kidding when they claimed this was super pigmented. It really was. I didn't need to re-dip the applicator into the bottle when I applied it and it still glided smoothly.

They also weren't kidding when they said it's ultra matte. It's super matte. Exfoliate first for your own good or apply (clear) lip balm before you apply the lip colour. Or do both. Even better.

Here is what it looks like on me. Please remember that I have a tan skin tone with a yellow undertone so it may look different on you.

REVIEW: O Cosmedics Rebalancing Cream

Image
This has only been May and my stress level is so high that my skin is terribly suffering. My skin is starting to thin that I can see my veins on my cheeks. My pores are huge, especially after the hot summer of Australia when everyday was over 30 degrees. I have always had acne for as long as I can remember but now they are accompanied by those tiny bumps that you can't see but you can feel. Well, that's what people said. I can definitely see them and neurotic me thought it was too much. One day in April I went to this beauty salon to get my usual waxing (once you wax you never go back, to shaving I mean). The beauty therapist, her name is Deirdre, took one look at my skin and commented at how I've been breaking out. But like in a nice way, not in the obnoxious "Wow, you have a lot of acne, don't you?" way. She gave me a skin consultation and thought I should come back for an acne peel. Being the self-conscious person I am, I came back the next week. After

SKINCARE SATURDAY: Sebamed Clear Face Mattifying Cream

So I have just recently moved back to Indonesia. While that is a story for another day, let me just tell you about Indonesian climate. Actually, let me Google it. "Split by the equator, I ndonesia  has an almost entirely tropical  climate , with the coastal plains averaging 28°C, the inland and mountain areas averaging 26°C, and the higher mountain regions, 23°C. The area's relative humidity is quite high, and ranges between 70 and 90 percent." - weatheronline.co.uk You know what that means? That means it's humid as f*ck. As in hair frizzy, sweating mess, body odour thriving. And... OILY SKIN. So my skin has always been normal-combination for as long as I can remember. And I have accepted that you know. I found a great skincare routine that actually cleared up my face of its plaguing acne and its brethren acne marks. My pores were not visible. MY PORES WERE NOT VISIBLE AT ALL. So imagine my surprise when I stepped off the plane and a couple of hours later I found
