Rouge G de GUERLAIN

Was invited to attend the launch party for Rouge G de Guerlain last week and I feel so privileged to be able to be able to view the new legendary luxury jewel lipstick! This is not just an ordinary lipstick but it is a total GAMECHANGER. It comes with a super gorgeous metal casing which comes in various designs, and the best part is that you're able to open the casing and then a double mirror shows up! It immediately feels like a mini makeup counter. To make it even more extraordinary, you can engrave your name on the mirror to create your very very own Rouge G lipstick, specially designed like a precious jewel, which remains as one of the most luxurious ever created till date.

Theres a total of 15 ultra-stylish designs for the casing, and 30 highly desirable shades which are all so super pretty! Apart from that, I am able to try out and own in total of 6 Rouge G de Guerlain lipsticks in 6 different casing and 6 different shades!

I must say that the engraving is too pretty! It's in cursive writing I'm so in love!

The casing in black is called Perfect black, while the one in red is the Wild Jungle. They look so exquisite and classy! Both casings are made from leather, how cool is it that when you tell someone that your lipstick has a leather casing lol!

These two other casings are more to the elegant kind of design, the one with polka dots is called French Mademoiselle (totally lived up to its name cus it's so elegant looking), while the metallic pinkish one is called the K-Doll. I really love these both designs cus they look so chic and casual.

Last but not least, these two are more to a simple yet edgy design, the silver plain one called The Original, whereas the one in black marble print is called the Neo-Gothic. I believe everyone loves the ever popular marble design right? So do I. I really like how the marble design looks like real marble although it was printed on.

Lets talk about the shades! As soon as I glide on the lipstick, I can really tell that it's super moisturising. All the shades are highly pigmented and incredibly luminous, it nourishes, smoothens and plumps up the lips and it contains ingredients such as hyaluronic spheres, mango butter and jojoba oil. This explains why it really has such a nourishing texture and does not dry out at all. The mega plus point is that the shades are pretty as hell!

Let's start with the 3 pinkish shades that I've swatch on my hand, from left it's the shade No. 73, a very vibrant pink that gives a very korean vibe. I must say that this shade is suitable for very fair girls. The one in the middle is No. 70, which is a pink with some coral hues. I love this colour cus it looks very natural for a daily casual look. The one on the right is number 71, which is a very intense pink, which looks very chic as well! It's my favourite colour among the pink range, as I think it suits my skin tone and gives my makeup a vibrant finish.

Here's the reddish shades which I must say, they're truly gorgeous. Starting from the left, it's No. 23 Dark Cherry, a dark and glossy red, which instantly gives you the edgy look. The shade is super pretty and it's not as dark when it's applied on the lips. The middle one is No. 22 Bright Red, which is my favourite, cus it's a very very proper bright red tone and it's super pretty to be worn to special occasions! The last one would be No. 65 Pearly Rosewood, which is more to a dark pinkish red which is very attractive as well. I'm so torn between choosing which is my ultimate favourite since all of them look equally superb!

I believe it's an awesome idea to make a lipstick more than what it really is - a beauty tool, a cosmetic, a mirror, and a fashion statement. It is available on 2 April onwards, you can discover all of the visuals at the Guerlain Library.

Vinata Masks Review!

I've been so into skin care products lately! As I grow older, I've finally come to the realisation that one shouldn't take their skin for granted, and skin conditions might just worsen suddenly. Hence, preventive is better than curing it, I've started to take skin care really seriously!

First key step to a good skin condition is to STAY HYDRATED. Skin hydration is really super important to keep our skin supple and healthy. I'm a really lazy person and putting on sheet mask and waiting for the time to pass is like an extra effort for me, hence I use sleeping masks much more often than sheet masks, till one day that i found out that my skin is actually drying out and sleeping mask is not enough for keeping my skin hydrated or moisturised. Since then, I've started using sheet masks quite often but not all products work for me. I have quite sensitive skin and hence some sheet masks will give me breakouts and till I tried out VINATA's masks, everything is perfect with this mask!

Before I start on how VINATA works on my skin, here's a little bit more to know about this mask: VINATA Sake Yeast masks are produced from the Taiwan's national brewery and their yeast only extracts from Taiwan Yuquan sake. This product contains of activated yeast that softens horn and increase the skin's water absorption capacity! Sounds amazing right. Besides that, the mask also contains high volume of minerals, vitamins, activated yeasts, peptides, amino acids, organic acids and various micro elements that help with the skin health.

There's two types of VINATA Sake masks: one for moisturising (pink packaging) and one for whitening (blue backaging). I personally really love the pink one as my skin becomes super smooth and supple overtime after applying it!

The mask is very wet since it's full of the good nutrients (I hate masks that are dry and dries off super fast), and the cotton mask is super soft to be applied on my face! Also, it fits perfectly to my skin and it really feels good while applying it and I don't see it as a hassle at all!

Keep the mask on for around 15 minutes and here you go - glowing and supple skin! During days that I feel that my skin is looking a lil dull, I'll go for the blue packaging one since both work equally well on my skin :)

My skin is more to combination skin, hence it is very hard for me to get a balanced skin condition: it's either oily on the T zone or very dry on the cheeks. After using Vinata masks, I can notice a difference where my skin is less oily on the T zone and more hydrated on the cheek parts. Besides that, my skin also became smoother and brighter than before! I'm truly satisfied with this product and will keep repurchasing it. :)

If you ever visit Taiwan, you can visit Taiwan national brewery, VINATA masks is a must buy souvenir!

Feeling fresh with the colour GREEN

Green is never my favourite colour to begin with, and I seldom own things in green colour. However, as I've started running my online fashion store, I've begin to have more acceptance towards each and every colour and I think that every colour looks great in their own way! And I've gotta admit, I've started to appreciate the colour green more and more, and I have tons of stuff in green colour!

Besides that, I love taking pictures with green sceneries, and I guess you can tell from these OOTD pictures! :D

I found that green is a very calming and relaxing colour, and it's very easy to match with anything as it gives out a "refreshing" vibe. I guess 5 out of 10 of my pictures have greeneries in its background :p It's not the colour that I used to hate anymore as I've started to appreciate how lovely this colour is!

Recently, OPPO has launched its limited edition R9s series in green colour and honestly I'm in love with the colour once I have my eyes on it. It's a very subtle and refreshing green, and it also comes with functions such as fast charging and a 16MP rear camera. 

It also has a 16MP front camera which takes super good selfies! I'm amazed with its selfie mode as I think it takes better pictures than any other phones.

These were taken without turning on the beautifying mode or filter:

And this was taken with the Beautify 4.0 mode:

I've also tried out its double exposure mode:

I personally really love the phone as it takes fabulous selfies and to be honest, I rarely take selfies cus I barely get to take nice ones, but this phone has totally changed the selfie game to the next level!
