Matte nail polish

28 Jan

Matte lipstick and matte nail polish become trend and I’m totally obsessed with them.

If you are bored with the color of nail polish that you already have, you can do experiment with this matte nail polish.

Now you can make your own instead you just look at the picture on Instagram, tumblr or pinterest and wondered how to make it.

I’m using china glaze kinetic candy, revlon pink lingerie and etude house matte real.

How to :

First, paint the entire nail with your desirable nail polish color. Let it dry. Second, apply the matte polish (one coat). And your done! 🙂

Review : My Chanel vs MAC red lipstick

12 Jan

I adore red lipstick so much. It really gives a classic lady look and you don’t have to do much on the rest of your face. One of the easiest ways to pump up your makeup is by putting bright color lipstick such as red!

In here, I will review red lipstick from Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet (#38 La Fascinante) and MAC Pro Longwear Lipcreme (#A41 Prolong). In my opinion, one crucial factor when you want to buy red color lipstick is the long wear formula, because with such brave color, you want it to stay in your lips through talking and eating. Who wants Joker’s lips unless for Halloween parties (I guess).

From the picture of the lipstick bullets above, the colors are completely different, Chanel has a darker tone whereas MAC is more true red. However, from the swatches below, they have the same matte finish and similar color payoff! When I bought them I thought they would give me different red shades but I was wrong, I bought the Chanel first and MAC later and have no idea they are giving me almost exactly the same payoff 😦

For the staying power, I must say that MAC is so much better than Chanel. I do still need to touch up after some time but I notice that the color still there, it’s just fading and I just need to put on another coat to intensify it again. My Chanel one isn’t surviving through eating (sadly) and the price is over the top!

Note: I do wear lip pencil with red lipstick to frame the edges because I just can seem to wear it neatly by itself. LOL

Please tell me what’s your favorite red lipstick? Now I’m still looking for a bright red lipstick, maybe you can tell me your favorite 🙂
