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!

How To Enjoy Ramyeon/Instant Noodles At Han River When In Seoul! \\ What To Do In Seoul

Image
I believe it was early last year when a video of people cooking instant noodles and enjoying them by the Han River in Korea went viral. It was a super cool concept and I told myself if I had the chance to go around Seoul myself, experiencing ramyeon at Han River will definitely be on top of my list. Many months later, Dex and I had a trip to Seoul and did this together. While planning this trip, I was so focused on trying to find which Han River that has this special cooking machine. I thought it was only one particular place sell this but it's actually not. I believe by now, pretty much any park that's by the Han River allows you to have this experience as long as they have a convenient store. We've chosen to visit Yeouido Park by the Han River since it was one of the recommended place that my sis-in-law mentioned and she's not wrong, the park was beautiful. I personally do recommend this park too.

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.
