J - Urban Decay Lip Junkie Lip Gloss in Obsessed, Streak, Wallflower, Crush & RedLight

I'm so excite to share with you guys about this little magic. Here's the thing. I'm not a lip gloss person at all. I tried to avoid any product that is glossy, especially when it comes to lip products. The story is about a month ago, my lips were dry and I couldn't find the Vaseline bottle; I saw the Urban Decay sample gloss that comes with Naked2 Palette and put it on my lips. Of course, the color didn't flatten my lips much since my lips are pigmented. Then my Mr. came upstairs to look for his stuff and he kept looking at me. I was like "what's going on duhh" lol. He asked me if I put anything on my lips; he liked it and it looked kissable.

So I did a little research over the products and was thrilled to find out that UD carries a lot of colors. Moreover, this lip junkie got a lot of good reviews and high rate of recommendation. After days and hours, I decided to pick:
-Obessed
-Streak
-Wallflower
-Crush
-RedLight

Those colors I picked are not shimmer or glittery (I personally don't like sparkle or shimmer lips). Here are the swatches:

You can tell how glossy the product is!

I'm going to show the details.

Urban Decay Lip Junkie in  Obsessed

Urban Decay Lip Junkie in Streak

Urban Decay Lip Junkie in Wallflower

Urban Decay Lip Junkie in Crush

Urban Decay Lip Junkie in RedLight

Overall:
Among 5 colors that I picked, my favorite one is Obsessed, Crush and RedLight. Streak is somewhat transparent. I returned Wallflower because it makes my lips look very pale and dark; as I know, Wallflower is one of their best selling shades but no no for me.   

My tip is apply some lip stain 1st, for example Benefit Liptint (review here), let it dry then apply this lip gloss, you will be amazed when it turns out.

Price: $19+ tax
Available at: 

Sephora, Macys (almost 1300 reviews at Macys!), Beauty.com, Urban Decay website and other cosmetic stores
Pros:  
-very moisturizing (I no longer use Vaseline)
-does NOT feel sticky or heavy at all (this is A+++)
-long lasting (about 2 hours)
-light fresh minty smell and sweet taste (I know it's not for licking lol)
-cap design is unique and chic
-color is pretty and true to what described 
-no leaking out like other lip-gloss products
-vegan products (no test on animals)


Cons:
-price is not very affordable; however the quality is excellent.

Do I recommend it?: Yes Yes Yes!!!

J - CHANEL Rouge Double Intensite Ultra Wear Lip Colour #53 Coral Peach

Summer is official here with a lot of sunshine and heat too. We normally do not hang out at the mall during weekdays. I was browsing there with my Mr. to figure out my friend's bridal shower registry. Then he dragged me to the Chanel counter. The Sale Rep told me to try out this product. She called it "lip tint" because after 2 minutes, it completely stains your lips and the color doesn't stain his shirt if I kiss him lol. Well, lately, I'm very into lip tint.

I picked out this Coral Peach #53 right away. And I am very happy about how the color shows up on my lips. Very bright, very summer and cheerful.  

 

One end is lip tint and the other end is clear lip gloss. You may want to skip this clear lip gloss step if you do not want to but personally, I think it really adds a nice finished look for your lips. 

I recommend that you squeeze the brush against the bottle as pulling it out to control the amount of the product. I always start from the center of my bottom lip. Feel free to do any way that is comfy and easy for you.

 Here is the swatch (I used natural light and I was inside)

I also try to compare the Benefit Chachatin: 

In this photo, there is no difference expect the Benefit Chachatint is slightly darker.

To me, the Benefit Chachatint is more orange than the Chanel Rough Double Intensite Ultra Wear #53. The Chanel is little bit shimmer but not too much. And that is even better for me.

How gorgeous this Coral is!

After 3hrs of drinking smoothies and snacking, the color was still there but not as intense as when I just put it on

Overall:

Price: $35+ tax
Available at: 
-department stores such as Nordstrom, Macys, Neiman Marcus,...etc
-Chanel website

Pros:  
-rich and vibrant color
-great coverage
-very moisturizing (I do have dry lips; they do get gross after 2-3hrs of wearing lipstick if without vaseline!)
-very long lasting (See photo above!)
-feel free to kiss anyone without stain their cheeks or shirts! Yay!
Cons:
-feel little bit heavy for this 1st hour
-pricey, compared to other brands. Well, it's Chanel!


Will I buy it again?: Yes! And I will pick some unique colors than common shades since it is pricey ;)

J- Benefit Cosmetics Stain/Tint Review

Hey yo!

It's mid-March but the weather here is still not getting warm yet. What a long winter! I have been into lipstick and lip stain as I'm waiting for Spring/Summer coming. 

My Benefit Cosmetics came in today so I'm very excited to share with you guys. Benetint has become popular for a much wider clientele. It remains the company's best-selling product, with 10 million bottles sold. So I have to have this biggest sister!

Overview of the package!

Lollitint and High Beam as deluxe samples. Also it came with 2 other samples of Pore Professional

Here are swatches:
1) High beam
2) Lollitint
3) Benetint
4) Chachatint

I used natural light and the colors in the picture are exactly in person. My skin tone is warm and yellow pigmented. 

1) High Beam , 2) Lollitint , 3) Benetint, 4) Chachatint

After 10 minutes, I rubbed my skin to see if the stain still stayed or not. And here is the result!

Where did High Beam go? :O

As you can see, High Beam is completely gone. I was kind of disappointed. I'm glad that was just a deluxe sample. In my opinion, ChaChaTint in my favorite and next is BeneTint. Lollitint gives a bright and cool tone shade so I don't think it flatten my lips much. 

Here are some promo code I found if you order from Benefit Cosmetics
*Code SOSILKY or LUSCIOUS at checkout to recieve a full lipstick. Expires March 23 or while supplies last.
*Code ORCHID: with $60 purchase receive 2 deluxe samples: High Beam and Lollitint
*Code HYDRATION: with $35 purchase receive Total Moisture
Note: Codes are not applied if your bag has the Custom Kit or any Sale/Clearance product.

Hope you have a wonderful day!

Kiss,

J - Iso Professional curling iron 5P with interchangeable barrels

Good evening!
I hope you have a good time no matter what you are doing. I've been very busy due to school and student organizations. Also, March is national nutrition month so I'm busy like a bee with a lot of campus activities.

I went to Tjmax last night to get some glass containers for food. Since the plastic containers get gross after awhile and I'm not a plastic-usage person so I did feel sick when I stored food in plastic containers. After getting a Komax container set,nI saw Ebay has them with a little bit lower price. Here is the link Komax Glasslook Containers.They are very good quality products and look very expensive in person.

I also planned to get some work-out clothes, not a lot bc I still have some already. I miss working out. I'm not a muscle built athlete person but I love to exercise a bit so my blood circulates well and also it increases my immune system. I practiced yoga for 1 year then I quitted because the instructor I had now is teaching at different time. So I decided to run around neighborhood.

I also got mirrored picture frame but I use it as perfume tray.

S-o g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s and I'm so in love with it. Here are some similar frames: 

While I was waiting in line to check out, I looked around and saw this OPI nail polish set, $7.99 for 2! They are so cute that I couldn't resist myself. This OPI Minie Mouse Collection was introduced in summer 2013. It's so adorable that I wanted to get this set for Linnie too. I know she loves red and also Minie/Mickey Mouse. So I went back there today and sadly, they are all gone.

Hi! I'm Minie Mouse!

I also picked up another set with 2 colors: Tiffany Case and Glint Of Glinda. 

*Tiffany Case does give a sandy texture and feel. To me, it has more green in person than in the picture, just like Tiffany signature color. 

*Glint of Glinda is from The Wizard of Oz collection. It's a very true nude color. HERE is the full collection.

 

Some pictures I found Online from shesaidbeauty.com and gnarlynails.com

Tjmaxx goodies!

ISO Professional Curling Set with 5 Barrels

Thank you MyMr for this Curling Set. I'm so happy. I wanted an interchangeable set for a long time. I've seen so many Utubers did many videos about NuMe set. And for somehow, I can't completely trust their reviews because I know they got it free and also commission or things like that. So I did some research and found this set with a lower price and works amazing! I ordered mine from Amazon and they had only black color. Now I see the pink set too. Little bit upset since I love pink! Wink!

 

 You can tell the piece I'm holding is very curly (that's magic from Iso Professional set!)

Just like Taylor Swift style ha!

Say cheese!
