Lime Crime Airborne Unicorn Lipstick

I have a few purple lipsticks, but Lime Crime's Airborne Unicorn is probably the most eye catching one out of my collection.

I ordered my first Lime Crime lipstick from their website and it took a little longer than 2 weeks to arrive. I was very happy when I received my package :) I can see that a lot of thoughts were put into the packaging process. The greenish blue box is adorable, and the lime green wrapping paper contrasts really well with the bright purple lipstick tube. Of course there is the infamous holographic unicorn printed on top








This is more pigmented than MAC Playtime, and it is also brighter with a little bit of neon tone

Airborne Unicorn is a fun shade but unfortunately did not look good on me, I am just someone that cannot pull off pastel or super light color...they really washes me out :o Doe Deere, who owns the company mentioned that she will come up with a dark red color soon, I always have a soft spot for dark reds >:) may be I will give that one a try

The lipstick is pigmented, but not as much as MUFE rouge artist intense or MAC amplified. It is creamy and relatively moisturizing. It is vanilla scented, a bit stronger than MAC lipsticks.

It wears for about 4 hours.. and leaves a pink colored stain on my lips, it is very light though I dont think it is a big problem

The holographic prints on the lipstick itself scratches off really easily. If you want to carry it around, I would advise putting it in a lipstick case to protect it.

Overall, it is a fun addition to my lipstick collection

MUFE Rouge Artist Intense Lipstick #21

Speechless!

This lipstick is drop dead gorgeous! Candy apple metallic red... *-*

I went into Sephora one day searching for a new red lipstick, the entire back of my hand was full of swatches hahaha! In the end I was debating if I should get MUFE #21 or not .. considering the fact that I just got the Moulin Rouge one the week before... gotta have some self control you know >.< But then!! two lady came up beside me, pointed at my #21 swatch and said "That is absolutely gorgeous!!"

Guess what happened a few minutes later ^-^ ... #21 on my lips, lining up at the cash register and feeling guilty about buying another lipstick




The packaging is so sleek! I actually like square-shaped tube better than round ones 

The formula is amazing. Intense pigment in a creamy formula that lasts for a very long time, I would say about 6-8 hours. 

It doesn't feather/bleed either, just stays where you want it to be.. like a committed boyfriend lol 

It has an interesting smell to it :o but doesnt bother me much..

The super tiny gold flecks brighten up my complexion

This shade looks gorgeous in both person and pictures :) 

Definitely a keeper 


Kat Von D Hellbent Lipstick

Kat Von D Hellbent is the very first red lipstick that I own and it is responsible for my red lipstick craze :)

I absolutely love Kat's make up line <3 she designed her own packaging which is absolutely beautiful, on top of that, she actually wears she own products! I think she actually cares about her products and she's not just doing it for money, unlike other celebs who come up with a berjillion perfumes when they don't even wear them to start with. -.-"" 

The lipstick bullet is blood red, but when you apply it onto your lips, it is actually a dark raspberry color. Every time I put this lipstick on myself or my friends, we always receive a lot of compliments. ;) 

It is very long wearing and leaves a subtle pink stain once it wears off.  

The texture is very creamy and it is very pigmented. You can put on a thin layer for a stain effect or load it up for a gorgeous red pout. 

There is no nasty lipstick smell to it..only a faint typical lipstick smell 

Even though it is long lasting, after about 4-5 hours your lips will get dry. I usually just put some lip balm, blot, and dab on some more

Eraser Collection - very random

I like collecting things, the only reason why my room does not look like a junk yard is because i am very organized. So moving away from perfumes and lipsticks, lets blog about something weird!! My eraser collection!! I lived in Hong Kong for a few years....and you know those asian cutesy stuff that you find in chinatown?

LAVANILA Laboratories - Pure Vanilla Roller-ball (10ml/.32oz) Review

This is my favorite perfume of all time, natural, smell fantastic and it is good for you! 
I have always been a perfume lover, I think i have about 20 bottles so far.. but i started to realized that my body does not like perfume at all! A lot of them started to give me headaches and made me sneeze a lot, so i wont be buying anymore perfumes unless it is made out of natural ingredients only. Also i wanted to use natural products as often as i can, even though i know that i cant go 100% natural all the time... o.o"" well lets try for 80% then! 

Ok! so this is what you will see on one side of the purrrty box: 



   ( )_( )
 =( ^-^ )=
   (       )o     I'm a bio major that hates chemistry...I'm so happy that you dont have to be a chemistry major to know whats in this perfume, its very straightforward. 



Notes: Madagascar vanilla, Freesia, Patchouli, Heliotrope, Tonka Bean
I know there are other notes in this perfume, but vanilla is the alpha queen here, she lets the other notes open the curtain for her but she does not let them steal her show! If you are a patchouli-phobia, no worries!! i cant smell any patchouli at all, so definitely give this perfume a try!  

Lasting power: it is one of the most long lasting perfume i own, easily 6-8 hours

Projection: oh you will smell this baby alright, so dont drown yourself in it for your lab partner or coworkers sakes 

A lot of people find that roller-ball leaks easily, but i have been travelling with this baby for an entire school year now, it is still working perfectly! pricing is reasonable too, i think this was about CAN$20

Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick - Red Revival #645

The infamous Red Revival! I bought this thinking that i would get the color the model was wearing in the ads, failllled D: It looks nothing like the shade she is wearing, so im a little disappointed! In person this shade is much brighter compared to how it was advertised, but it is still a gorgeous shade afterall.
The pigmentation is fantastic for a drugstore lippie, it is very creamy and easy to apply too. The packaging is alright..cheap clear red plastic with a long cap, but it is so bulky o.o i compared it to a MAC lipstick...





Apparently this shade is supposed to work with a lot of skin tones, and so far it looks pretty on everyone that I've seen. It is quite long wearing and leaves a little bit of stain on your lips after you take it off. 
The only problem i have with this lippie is the smell D:!!!! *dies* It smells so bad x.x which means i can never wear it, unless i wanna get a bad headache. It is supposed to smell like coconut if you get a good batch, so every time I go into a drugstore I take a sniff to see if this is true and ... it still gives me a headache >.<

Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick - Berry Queen

Berry Queen is a pinkish red color, pretty for a drugstore lippie! It is a bit brighter than Kat Von D's hellbent, which is another favorite of mine
It goes on nicely on the lips and its quite pigmented, the texture is very creamy. For 5 bucks im pretty happy with it! wears for about 4-5 hours for me
It does have a floral scent to it, but doesnt bother me much
