POWDER LIPPIE?! DIOR Rouge Gradient Lip Shadow Duo Review \\ JQLeeJQ


I received this ages ago and have been holding this off my lips specifically to do a first impressions video on my YouTube channel. Finally found the time to do it and here's the review!

I've seen a couple of powder lip products in the market but mostly are from a Korean brand. It was pretty trendy a while back but I never really thought about trying it as I have pretty dry lips and I have a gut feeling that it would be too drying for my lips.

So when DIOR sent me their new Spring Collection items and it includes this DIOR Rouge Gradient Lip Shadow Duo in Red, it is the perfect time to give the whole powder lippie trend a test.


As usual, video review is as below or if you prefer to read, scroll on further for my written thoughts about this product.





I personally think it has a pretty sleek packaging. It's compact and easy to carry around. It has a soft sponge applicator on both ends with powder hidden in the tube. The colour however, is not as true to it's packaging. I expected more peach on the lighter side while a true red on a darker side. Of course, this is definitely not the most hygienic lippie as there's really no other way to apply them other than using direct from the available sponge tip. So, if its yours, keep it to yourself. I really don't know how the sponge tip can be clean either if you are OCD with sanitising your makeup products.


After trying it out, as mentioned in the video, I love the colour and it wasn't that hard to apply either. Overall it turned out well but as expected, it's super drying on the lips. Matte for sure and definitely a much lighter texture than a liquid lipstick but just as drying. It doesn't transfer much at the back of my hand but will fade after meal. 

I believe this lip product leans more towards the Korea trend of not precise gradient lip application and it does its job as a gradient lip as it blend pretty easily as compared to some other gradient lippies I've tried in the past. For me, I will probably use this because of the colour but definitely will slap on a ton load of lip balm or DIOR's Maximizer gloss on it.

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.
