The Lipstick Tag

If there's one beauty product I'm really crazy about, they're lippies.

I'm always in search for the perfect one depending on my shade preference.

Lipsticks can really change your looks and mood, believe me.

I honestly carry more than 4 shades in my bag, just in case I want to change

my look or my mood. Since I'm fickle minded, my favorite lippie shade changes

every year.

Here's the Lipstick Tag that I enjoy answering, and even reading through

my fellow beauty bloggers' post. I'll be including a few pictures so that this post won't be boring and dull.

How many lipsticks do you own?

I honestly lost count. I started collecting lippies since I was in high school.

I've lost some, others were unfortunately stolen,
while others were now residing inside my cousins' purse.

Oh gosh, it's 64.. excluding those I've lost, and those that were stolen..

What was the first lipstick you owned?

I've had lipsticks from my mom and aunt prior to this one, but when you say "first"

then it has to be the one I bought with my own money.

It was in highschool and I really saved up my money for Maybelline

Watershine Diamonds Lipstick in Peach Flash. 
I saw it from an ad when I bought my first Cosmo mag.
Since it was too glittery I couldn't wear it for school and another one
which is Blistex Lip Tone. I loved them. Maybelline got chunks of micro glitters that I sooo love. Blistex smells like chocolate, I even remember my friend Nelly licked it.
Sadly both were phased out. :(

What's your favourite lipstick brand?


 I owned a few and it has the best consistency, texture, 

finish and pigmentation. It's long lasting and smells like
those ice cream from Cold Stone. I love it not because it's pricey.
Who will like it when something's expensive? right? I want to save and buy cheap ones
as much as possible but with its quality, Mac has taken all my moolahs.

If I couldn't afford one I look for dupes and go for Nyx and Wet n' Wild.

What's your most worn lipstick?

Mac Please Me and Mac Shy Girl. 

Both were good for an everyday natural glam look.

For a cheaper alternative with a pinky peach hue
 I go for Maybelline's Lipstick in Angel Rose.

What is your favourite finish?

Matte. I've loved glosses and shimmers when I was younger,
but then I started hating them when I was still active in my dance org, 
coz whenever my hair accidentally gets into my lips the gloss glides 
all over my cheeks. Also, a matte lippie gives off more natural looking lips.

What was the last lipstick you bought?

It's Mac Heroine. I was really itching to get that goth purple lippie

but then I have to think several times
coz my cousin was making fun of me when I was swatching it
at the back of my hand. She's like, "you won't buy it, right?" then laughs

How many lip products do you currently have in your bag?

my bag at the moment: small xoxo hot to trot handbag filled with 5 lippies
from Mac, Etude House & Nyx. Yes, bag's already full.

As I've mentioned I carry 4 to 5 shades of lippie in case of emergency.
I know I sound weird.

If it's a big date or big event I carry
Mac Please Me, Mac Shy Girl, Mac Russian Red & Mac Pink Nouveau.
If it's just an ordinary day like hanging out with friends I carry lippies
mostly from Maybelline, or Revlon or Etude House or Nyx.

What is your favourite red lip colour?

Mac Russian Red. I swear its the best. I've received gazillion compliments

from it, and it's a real head turner from random strangers.

How do you store your lipsticks?

I have this small gold train case where I keep those that I rarely use,

and those most used were stored in the ice cream can from Yellow cab.

I also keep them somewhere out of my little cousin's reach.

She broke too many lippies already.

What lipstick is next on your wishlist?

Lime Crime's Geradium, a bright radioactive pink &
I heard it's a good dupe for Mac's Viva Glam Nicki plus
the packaging is gorg!

 What are your current favourites?


Mac Please Me is my everyday gorgeous lippie.
Then I love mixing my other lippies together to create a gorgeous combination.
My current fave is the combo of my
Nyx Black Label Lipstick in India and Avon Lipstick in Island Glow.

What's your favorite lipstick packaging?

Most makeup addicts and enthusiast have to agree, 

Mac Heatherette lippies were f*cking amazing. 

Now Lime Crime produced purple versions with holographic unicorns on it

and I'm dying to get one.

Now if you happen to be as addict as me wen it comes to lippies

then I'm tagging you to do this and send me your link to your blog

so I can happily read yours!

The Tale of Red Lipstick

As a very pale and lifeless looking girl without makeup on,
I love bright lips.
From fuschia pink to bright corals and fire engine red,
I'll definitely wear it even if I just need to go to work.

These days I'm crazy over red lippies.
I've tried it a few times and sometimes
it's too overwhelming, but since my friends
said that my lips are too small for bright lippies
to get noticed, I feel relieved.

I've got soooo many red lipsticks on my wish list.
Until now I'm thankful that I got Russian Red with me,
prettiest red I ever had.
I'm still thankful to my dear friend Nelliberry.
Without her, I won't be able to discover the beauty of this lippie.
She told me it's looks really good on me.

A few months ago I told my friend Macky
of Dreamshop Photography
that I want
a gothic or Psychobilly/Rockabilly/ pin up inspired photoshoot
but then both of us are still busy.

Two weeks ago I tried to glam up our
ordinary girl talk into a red lippie night.

Good thing I got a bestfriend who never let me do stupid things alone.
Other girlfriends found out that the lippie is really gorgeous
and works well on any skintone,
therefore everyone swiped my dear lippie on their lips.

my bestfriend Kitty

 

Party Crasher Mama Jack

except for my one queen who wants to stand out
and she werk the pink lippie. Her name's Janel.

The Red Lipstick is called Russian Red from Mac.

It's iconic as every famous celebrities swear by it

if they want to pull off an old hollywood/pin up look.
As you all know, I love Dita Von Teese.

She swears by Mac red lippies. Russian Red or Ruby woo.

I've seen Burlesque (2010) and I just hoped Dita played any of the part
from the movie. I like Christina but her voice is toooo HUUUGGEE!!
After watching this movie I fully understood the life of being a burlesque dancer.
 Quite good and really fun.

Movie's glittery, glam and girly.

Every performances are inspired by old hollywood.

Classy and Sexy.

My favorite part is when Cher gave Christina some

makeup lessons to how to achieve perfect cat eyes.

Cher said if the brush is bad, then it won't work.

She recommended her Smashbox eyeliner brush.

Do I want to be Burlesque dancer someday?

I figured out, it's a YES! :)

By the way, today I received a message from Jouseign Keifer,

Administrator of G-force Fan page and now a designer for Statement Art Accessories,

that the famous dance group in the Philippines 

G-Force is now offering Burlesque dance lessons in Alabang which will start this April.

Teacher will be Teacher Devon, open to all girls and girls at heart. 

For early registration and inquiries please call 0917-517-0802.

According to them, YOU WILL DANCE IN HEELS IF YOU ARE FIERCE.

I might try the dance lessons but performing it will be a big no no.

I don't have the courage, I couldn't even dance in heels.

I don't smoke and drink, Ironically the picture says so.

I just want to spend time and hang out with them.

One short or two won't hurt right?

I'm also a sucker for everything red and vintage
so I made some effects for the photos.
Red lippie stood out and complimented my red nail polish from Revlon.
I've bought a lot of nude and pale pink lippies.
It looks good in person but I look so washed out..
which is now my deepest regret. RIP NUDE LIPPIES.



Oh and I want everyone to welcome

my friend coz she started blogging last Saturday.

I hope you guys will visit her site as well and leave good feedbacks.

Janel told us that she wants to change her image into
something nice and sweet, so she's planning to buy skirts and more.
In my case, I want to buy
vintage/rockabilly/psychobilly/pin up
related stuffs.
Gone are the days for punk rock and glam goths,
I'm getting old already.
Some said that if goths and punks wanted to retire,
 they turn to Rockabilly. LOL

Now these are the red lippies that I'm planning to have,
but before putting them on, better
listen to "Red Lipstick" by Rihanna and Nicki Minaj.
Such a beautiful migraine-inducing song!!
