Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet [Review]


Matte and bold. Definitely one of my favourite matte lipsticks in town. The colour payoff is crazy gorgeous and ultra pigmented, along with it feeling super light on the lips as well as it being extremely long lasting. Almost everything it claims are true, except that it is still quite drying in my opinion.



I've received two shades, 06 Pink Pong (fushia pink) and 08 Grand Cru (dark red). Unfortunately, they are both more towards the bolder type of colours, thus I can't really judge if the lighter colours are more wearable or not. In my opinion, these two colours are not something normal people would wear as an everyday look as they are both very strong colours.

That aside, I have more troubles getting an even application with Grand Cru than Pink Pong. Yes, both will need a lot of attention to put on but Pink Pong seems to go on smoother than Grand Cru. Everytime I put on those luscious dark red colour, I realised that I have blot my lips with a tissue and apply a second layer over it to get it looking neat. It's not the case of Pink Pong though, I only need to apply once with this fushia pink shade.

Both gave me an exceptionally long lasting affect, I truly applaud Bourjois for this. If you eat with slight caution, the colour won't even budge. Also, it's agreeable that it does provide that second-skin feeling, ultra light weight on my lips, as if I did not apply anything on my lips. However, it's quite unfortunate to say that it does leave my lips feeling rather dry after a while. Though, I solve this issue by layering clear lipbalm on to of it.


Available at Bourjois Kiosk at Sunway Pyramid and selected Watsons outlet at a recommended price of RM42.90. 

P/s: Bourjois Malaysia is giving away 200 New Lipsticks that will be launching soon. Before 15th March 2015, head on to Bourjois Malaysia Facebook page for more info!

Printing My 2014 Memories With Canon! [HUGE GIVEAWAY]

Image
2014 has been a year of change. So many things had happened, big, small, good and bad, all I can say is that I am thankful. Or to be exact, I choose to be thankful because some things are out of our control.  I thank God for the great things that happened in my life, things such as getting a job that allows me to travel and experience different cultures, having the opportunity to do what I love which is writing and blogging, and to meet new people as well as reunited with friends that I've not seen for a really long time. I also thank God for the unpleasant moments and experiences because they are priceless, a lesson learnt for me to prepare for my future self. Not only making me stronger and more mature, but it also taught me about humility and the gift of silence.

The Immense Pressure, The Exploitations, And The Gratifications Of A Malaysian Blogger

My beautiful yet talented girlfriend of mine took this photo of me :) Thank you. Warning: This might be a long and wordy blogpost with a genuine intention to mainly express my thoughts as a blogger who has been in the industry for quite some time. This post is certainly not by anyway trying to shame any brands or PR companies, if name(s) are mentioned, it's because that incident actually happened. I think it's about time I said something. I used to stop myself from writing these kind of somewhat controversial blogpost because I was afraid to rock the boat or offend anyone. Enough is enough.
