Guerlain KissKiss!

Hello there!  A short period of self-discipline has come to an end.  Self-discipline involves not lusting after makeup and thus not shopping for it for a while :)  Another reason I've been absent on this blog is because I have been busy creating posts for another blog which is about books and literature.

I have very much missed blogging about makeup and drooling over other makeup blogs :)

My "hello again I'm back" post will be on Guerlain's KissKiss Gloss in 869 Rose in Bloom and 871 Frosted Rose.

I've been using Frosted Rose almost everyday.  The texture is so smooth it glides like silk on the lips.  I did not experience any painful tingling or stinging (unlike with some I've tried).  It wasn't sucking moisture out of my lips.  It's so light and comfortable to wear it has become my favorite lipgloss.

In the tube Frosted Rose looks lilac-y pink but it is sheer when applied.  It looks great on top of any shade of lipstick.  Another good thing about this is that it doesn't have sparkles.

Then we have Rose in Bloom.  It is peach in color and has loads of shimmer.  The texture is thicker than Frosted Rose and it doesn't apply as smooth as the other.

Something similar about the two glosses is their yummy candy like smell which I love.

Have you tried any of Guerlain's KissKiss Gloss?

Have a blessed weekend!

Amuse Eyeshadow... the pretty that carries something ugly

Look at those colors!  Bright and playful.  Just how I like it.  This shadow has fun written all over it.  And not to mention the price was dirt cheap.  Who doesn't love a bargain?

The colors are very pigmented.  What you see in the palatte is what you will get when you apply it.

But I don't know what's up with this.  I get a bump on my eyelid when I use this.  The bump will disappear the following morning.  I first did not associate the bump with this product but after using it for three times I can unhappily conclude, sine dubito, this is the guilty party.

Gorgeous as it looks I don't think I will be using this again.  Sometimes a bargain is just not a good deal.



Do you have any bargain makeup purchases that turned out to be a bad buy?

Have a blessed weekend!

Guerlain Rouge Automatique

I had my first taste of Guerlain's Rouge Automatique lipstick in February.  The shade I've chosen was Rose in Bloom (162).  I loved how pretty this shade of pink is.  I loved the creamy yet hydrating formula.  I thought it was cleverly packaged though it makes applying not so easy.  Willing to be uncomfortable when applying this shows how much I loved this lippie.

Around mid-May was Guerlain's last day of its long on going sale here in the Philippines.  According to the Sales Assistants they had a change of management.  New set of bosses, new set of rules.  In a panic attack I decided to indulge on a few Rouge Automatiques and KissKiss glosses.

I got three shades of Rouge Automatique: Nahema (143), Champs-Elysees (165), and Nuit d'Amour (170).

I was expecting Nahema to be more orange on the lips but it turned out to be an orange pink.

Champ-Elysees is magenta pink.

Nuit d'Amour is plum.

Have a blessed day!
