The perfect Coral: YSL Rouge Volupté #13 Peach Passion


YSL Rouge Volupté #13 Peach Passion
If corals are your thing and summer is just around the corner this lipstick will definitely tick your boxes. The shade is Peach Passion (#13) and is my very first YSL product. 
It gives a perfect pop of color without being too bold and loud. Its the perfect shade to throw on for a easy day time look.

Formula of these YSL Rouge Volupté are just wonderful, with a glossy finish and a hydrating formula these lipsticks can be worn all day comfortably. Reapplication is a must to keep the glossy finish going but I do find the colour will tint the lips a little.

As a coral lipsticks it ticks all my boxes: 
  1. Brightening 
  2. Fresh Finish 
  3. The perfect balance of pink and peach
  4. Classic Packaging 
  5. And of cause the formula

Also who secretly wish YSL made a lipstick packaging in Rose Gold, OMG that will be to die for (hint hint YSL, get on it). 

Mother of Nudes: YSL Rouge Volupté #1 Nude Beige


YSL Rouge Volupte Nude Beige
Whenever you search for Nude Lipsticks this YSL shade always pops up along with Sential Silk (shade 02). Of cause for someone that likes the pinky undertones I opted for this one, Nude Beige.
This shade definitely gives you a MLBB look along with a touch of nuded out lips. Overall I love how this lipstick is able to smooth out the pigmentation of the lips and making them look soo natual.

For some odd reason the pictures are making the shade darker, the lipstick nudes out my pigmented lips and gives it a healthy pinky flush. When I don't know what lips to wear, this is always the one I gravitate towards.

The formula is extremely smooth and hydrating and it sits on the lips very comfortably, the best formulation in my books. You wont need a lip balm or addition prepping for the lips and the end result is always pretty.

For a moisturising formula like this, staying power is not one of its strong points. If you dont eat, its able to stay on the lips for a good 4 hours. But when you have a lipstick with glamorous packaging like this I would want to take it out and reapply when I can and paired with a Channel Mirror, BAM instant Old Hollywood Glam.

Garnier Micellar Cleansing water

Garnier Micellar Cleansing water
Since hearing about Bioderma I was always curious about Micellar Cleansing waters. I've seen reviews saying they can remove make up perfectly even down to nasty waterproof eye makeup. 
So when this little number by Garnier came to Australia, I was eager to try it out.
The Ganier Micellar water Water claims to Remove makeup, cleanse and sooth with out the need to rinse. Pretty neat huh. 
Like all normal people, I would use this on a cotton pad. The consistency of this is exactly like water and there is no fragrance. 
Its great at removing the face makeup like foundation, blush, bronzer and all. But when we go onto the eyes especially on the wp liner and mascara, it would not budge. 
Its very gentle on the eyes though, almost feels like eye drops with zero irritations. It leaves the skin feeling clean and fresh, and it removes all of the face make just like a oil based remover.
In short, this does a great job at removing face makeup but not for wp eye makeups, which I don't blame because the product it self does not claim to remove wp makeup. 
As a Micellar water, this is the first I've tried so I cant give a comparison. But this is great for days when I've just wearing some BB cream and blush.

Love 
Nancy.

Australis Inject Mineral Lipstick in Ballet

Recently I've been getting into lipsticks. I'm not one that usually applly colour on my lips because they get dry and uncomfortable quite easily. Which is why a good lipstick to me is one that sits on my lips comfortably and very moisturising.

I saw a YouTuber using this and I'm always a sucker for pink shades. So i was curious to try it. 
Upon application it feels almost like a lip butter, its really buttery smooth to apply and it feels very moisturising on the lips. 
The wear time of this would be a good 4 hours without eating of cause. And through the wear time it keeps the lips hydrated without that oily feel. The feeling on the lips is very comparable to higher end lip shades ie YSL vouge volupe.

The pigmentation of this is good, its able to cover the original very pigmented color of my lips but still making it look natual. I feel this shade will look great on people with natually paler lips because the color is really beautiful.

I personally really enjoy this lipstick becuase it gives a very natual my lips but pinker look which is always sweet.
