Matchy Matchy

What do you think about matching your lip color with an article of clothing? Yay or nay?
For lack of other ideas, i decided to try a pink lip to match my pink bandage mini. To be honest, I kinda like it! :p


See how the shade is exactly alike?



Upon closer inspection

p.s thank you mikey for the photos, and sheila and anan for the lipstick :)

Too Much Wine

photo from thatschic.net

I love the idea of wine colored lips (like this gorgeous looking girl i found in thatschic.net). There's something vampy and effortless about it. If you think about it, it's a great way to get drama with the least bit of effort (I say this because the other dramatic makeup option would be the smoky eye, and that takes up more time and tools to achieve).
I couldn't get this look out of my head so I got myself some wine-colored lipstick today. Unfortunately, I couldn't quite find a shade as dark as hers. I guess the one I settled for will have to do right now. I'm actually quite happy with it, and rocked it all afternoon in the mall :)

Here's my take


It looks much darker and wine-y in real life.

I'm excited. My sister maimai will be home from uni in less than a week. I'm not only looking forward to some shoes (hint hint), but also having a resident photographer and make-up artist at home with me! Yay!

These photos are a blast from the past- taken from the last time that she was home, from a random night out. A friend was in a fashion show and we were there to cheer her on :) Maimai ended up having her photo taken with Proj runway Phil. contestant and that made her night.

My sister is crazy about make-up. When she's home, I suddenly get really lazy to put mine on myself. I guess all those times of hard work and sacrifice (lol) have made her realize her true calling! She wants to be a make-up artist now and has even started a blog about it! Take a look at musingsofafrustratedmua ! I may be a little biased but i'm beyond impressed! go mai! :)
