Hey guys!

Today I'm going to be reviewing Makeup Forever's Rouge Artist Intense Lipstick in 32!

I was gifted this from one of my Youtube friends, Shirley Wu! Check out her channel!

I was talking to Shirley a long time ago when we were doing a makeup swap, and she asked me if I've ever tried Makeup Forever before. I never have because you can't get the products in Australia, so when she went to IMATS LA a few years ago she picked some stuff up for me!

One of the Makeup Forever items she got me was the Rouge Artist Intense lipstick

I really like the packaging, really simple and sleek.

Swatch:

As you can see on the swatch, it's really pigmented

vlcsnap-2014-04-15-17h25m39s192

See how matte it is?

Overally I was really impressed with this lipstick! I've tried matte lipsticks before and I never liked them but this one I did. It's not drying at all compared to the other matte lipsticks.

Pros:
- Very matte and not drying at all!
- Very pigmented

Cons:
- Has that weird lipstick odour. Not sure if you guys know what I'm on about, but I find that Western lipsticks have this weird lipstick smell.
- Expensive and hard to get if you are not in the US
- Because it is a matte lipstick, if your lips aren't moisturized enough then it will be a bit hard to apply

Today I'm going to be reviewing one of my favourite lipglosses, the Etude House Pink Lip Gloss!

vlcsnap-2014-04-15-17h26m49s123

I picked out this item myself when I did a makeup video for imomoko.com. If you use the coupon code "KIMDAO" you will get 10% off your order :)

Back then I really wanted to try out more Korean cosmetics so I chose this one! I'm glad I did!

Note: I did receive this for free from imomoko but I'm not getting paid to do any reviews for it.

The packaging is a bit worn out, I always keep it in my makeup bag

Final Verdict:
I've always liked lipglosses more than lipsticks. I find that with lipglosses the colour stays on longer. Even if it comes out, there is still a bit of colour left behind on your lips. This lipgloss is super pigmented and I love applying this on top of my other lipsticks!

Pros:
- Very pigmented
- Colour stays on your lips even if the lipgloss rubs off
- Cheap!

Cons:
- I really can't think of one!

Hi everyone!

Today I'm going to be reviewing some of my most favourite lipsticks of all time! The MISSHA The Style Glow Tint Lipbalm!

I actually received one of these as a gift from my friend Liah Yoo when she came to Perth a while ago. She gave me the lipstick in Scarlet Coral and I LOVED it so much that I used it pretty much everyday! I love these so much because they are SO moisturizing. Also lipstick does rub off fast no matter how good it is, you just can't help it. But these lipsticks acts like a tint as well so your lips will still have the colour even if the lipstick has worn off!

So, because I loved them so much I went onto Ebay and bought every single colour!

The colours they have are:

FFrom left to right~
RD01 Rose Read
PK02 Kissing Pink
CR01 Scarlet Coral
PK01 Vital Pink
OR01 Mandarin Orange

So lets start with the review & swatches!
Oh, my lighting is really bad in these photos... sorry will try on that

OR01 Mandarin Orange

Very natural looking, it's more of like a tinted lipbalm this one rather than a lipstick.

PK01 Vital Pink

Like the Mandarin Orange colour, this one is also very natural, great for everyday wear.

CR01 Scarlet Coral

This one is seriously my favourite lipstick ever! It such a nice colour and it goes well with EVERY look!

PK02 Kissing Pink

I absolutely adore this colour. It's such a cute colour that will also go well with any look!

RD01 Rose Read

This one I'm not a huge fan of. If you guys know me, I don't really like red lipsticks because I feel that I can't pull it off very well. Although it is still a really nice colour, I don't see myself wearing this much.

Final Verdict:
I absolutely 100% recommend these to you guys. They are SO pigmented and they go so well with every look! The Scarlet Coral and the Kissing Pink colours are my favourites!

Pros:
- Cheap! These were less than $10 on each on ebay!
- So pigmented and even after the lipstick wears off, you still have the colour stain on your lips
- Very moisturizing!

Cons:
- Can't think of any!

Hi guys!

Today I'm going to be reviewing one of my favourite lipsticks! It's the ZA Plumper Lips in Cinnamon Shimmer (03).

vlcsnap-2014-04-15-17h21m51s204

ZA is under the Shiseido brand and was sold only in the Chinese region (China, Hong Kong, Taiwan etc). I have always wanted to try out the brand ZA but it's so hard to find! Though now it is more available. I think they started selling ZA in Singapore and they recently started selling ZA in Japan. Anyway, I got this lipstick while I was in Hong Kong at Watsons. I didn't really think much when I got it, I just really wanted a ZA product and thought it looked interesting!

vlcsnap-2014-04-15-17h22m23s24

The colour is quite nudey

Final look:
vlcsnap-2014-04-15-17h22m13s187

I absolutely LOVE this lipstick because it's so moisturizing! Even though this apparently gives you "plumper lips" I don't think it really does. I have used "lip plumper" lipglosses before and I have to say it doesn't really make much of a difference in terms of plumper lips.

Final Verdict:
Pros:
- Cheap! (If you're able to get it instores)
- VERY moisturizing, I love it!

Cons:
- Hard to get your hands on, but you can probably buy it online
- Doesn't really make your lips plumper but that's not really a big issue for me

Hey guys!

Today I'm going to be reviewing the Jill Stuart Jelly Lipgloss in 28!

As usual with Jill Stuart packaging, it's very princess like! The lipgloss is a normal tube lipgloss but the lid is really nice decorated.

It's a lovely sheer colour with glitter in it

Applying it~

As you can see it's really natural but you can still see shimmers in there. It is not sticky at all and is really smooth on your lips.

My Verdict~
Pros:
- Packaging is lovely but that's for all Jill Stuart items!
- Really natural look
- Not sticky at all and goes on smoothly

Cons:
- Not much colour so I would recommend putting this on top of a lipstick

You can purchase the lipgloss here:

Hi everyone!

Today I'm going to be reviewing the Majolica Majorca Rouge Majex Lipgloss!

I received this as a present from one of my friends last year!

The packaging is really simple but nice. It's not too big in size so it's perfect to carry around.

Swatch: It's sheer with a bit of shimmer

The texture is quite smooth and not really sticky at all.

Applying it~

As you can see it is quite sheer and shimmery. It doesn't provide much colour, so I like using a lipstick underneath this lipgloss.

My Verdict~
Pros:
- Not sticky and smooth
- Lasts quite a while

Cons:
- The colour payoff isn't great

Check out the lipgloss here if you're interested:
