Swatch: MAC Lipstick - Viva Glam Gaga, Viva Glam V & Way to Love

After swatching my Revlon Colorburst Lipsticks, I decided to swatch my three MAC lipsticks too. I know it's random, but I don't have much lipsticks in the first place :D. Okay, here are the swatches...

Viva Glam Gaga, Viva Glam V, Way to Love

A little story behind the lipsticks, I got the VG Gaga as a birthday present for myself and I did a swatch on my arm at here. As for the VG V, I won it from a giveaway that was hosted by Karen. And the Way to Love is a sweet birthday present from Nic. They are all Lustre finish and very buildable.

Swatches on arm.

Way to Love. Left: with flash. Right: without flash.

(Again, please excuse for the poor quality pics! :( )

I love the fact that all of them look nothing alike. My fave is Way to Love, the shade is lighter than Revlon Colorburst in Blush which is one of my fave lipstick too. Viva Glam V looks darker and it's perfect for a touch up in my opinion. My lips are very pigmented so Viva Glam Gaga doesn't show really well on my lips but I love the sheer look from it. Which one is your fave?

Btw, I've just changed my layout. What do you think? I think I'm going to change my layout more often now, thanks to the new template design. It's really easy and simple :D. I aslo add formspring.me on the sidebar, ask me anything there! :)

Till next time!

Swatch: Revlon Colorburst Lipsticks - Soft Nude & Blush

I'm so sorry that I went MIA for a week but I have a good reason for it. I've said that I was going to graduate this month and the graduation ceremony was on last week. My mum and dad were visiting me in Jakarta to attend the ceremony, so I spent pretty much the whole time to accompany them. And after the graduation was over, I had to pack my stuffs and moved all of my stuffs from the place that I stayed in Jakarta to my hometown, so it was a very busy and tiring week. Now, I'm back to my hometown and will stay here for good until I've decided what I'm going to do next :)

Back to the topic, I'm going to share Revlon Colorburst Lipsticks' swatch in Soft Nude and Blush that I got from Angel a while ago (Thanks again, Angel! :)). I know there's a lot of swatches out there for these lipsticks but I still wanna do it :p.

Yap, I got a mole on my upper lip :p

Sorry for the poor quality pics, I'll try to take the pics with a better camera next time. I know there's no point to put the without flash pics cause it doesn't really show the color, but I still put it on just for comparison :D. I love both of the colors. They have very good pigmentation and quite moisturizing too, but the staying power is just okay on me, I need to reapply it in just a couple hours as I constantly eat and drink. I love the packaging too, it looks sleek and the engraved on the lipstick makes it looks expensive. The only lowdown is it melts easily, I found a dent on the side of the lipstick when I try to apply it on my lips, maybe it's because of the weather in Indonesia too, too humid.

Soft Nude is my first nude lipstick, and it looks surprisingly good on me, I always thought nude lipstick will wash me out but it doesn't.

Blush is my new favorite lipstick now, it's MLBB shade. I found myself constantly grab it to wear and put it in my makeup pouch, it's perfect for my everyday looks.

Overall, Revlon Colorburst is a very nice lipstick to have. Go grab it if you can :D
 Till next time!

Swatch: Canmake & MAC

Canmake Cream Cheek & Nudy Glow Lip Gloss

I've mentioned on my previous post that I got two Canmake products from my Taiwan trip, which are:

Canmake Cream Cheek #01 Peach Dream & Canmake Nudy Glow Lip Gloss #04 Sugar Milk Tea

Here are the swatches:

I really love the Cream Cheek, despite the name is peach dream, the shade doesn't really turn out to be peach, it looks more pink-ish than peach-ish. Although it looks shimmery on the swatch, but when you apply it on your cheeks, you can barely notice it. It also makes my cheeks look natural and glowing. I think I'll get more shades from this Cream Cheek :D.

The Nudy Glow lip gloss is very pigmented. I'm so glad that I got this too cause I haven't had any lip gloss that as creamy as this one. This sugar milk tea shade looks naturally nude on me and I can wear it alone without applying lipstick first. Amy has done a very great review for this Nudy Glow lip gloss, check it out here.

MAC Viva Glam Lady Gaga

This is a very belated birthday present for myself :p. When I saw a lot of bloggers rave about this particular lippie, I just can't resist to get one for myself as I've never had this shade before. I think I don't have to bother to describe this as you all must have already seen tons of reviews for this lippie.  I'm thinking of getting Viva Glam Cindy too :D. Here's the swatch on my arm:

Speaking of lipstick, I still remember that when I was young, my siblings and me used to play my mom's makeup. We were not playing it like really doing a makeup on our face but we were using it just for fun. Like there was one time my sister applied one of my mom's lipstick around my bro's eyes to make him look like a panda, LOL. The thing is the lipstick that she used was a relatively new lipstick. Of course my mom got very angry when she found out about it cause the lipstick's shape had become so weird and she could hardly use it anymore. I think I will be mad, like really mad if someone does that to my lipsticks too, esp. if it's my fave one. Hehe...
