SWATCHES & REVIEW : My Lipstick Collection [Luxury]

Sawasdee ka~

First of all I have to say sorry for late post in my lipstick collection series. Last week was a busy week for me I only have little time to write my blog. Anyway here we go another My lipstick collection post. Can't believe I have been doing this series for more than a month. The feedback is good so far I'm really thank you for all your support. Today, will be time for luxury lipstick brand.

Chanel I own 2 lipsticks from this brand. The first one is Rouge Allure luminous intense in 05 Desirable a shimmery mauve pink. Even though it has shimmer but it's very subtle on the lips. The best thing I love about luxury brand is the packaging innovation. I can see that they put a lot of time to create each make up packaging. Like this Rouge Allure, to avoid a lid comes off the bullet when you put lipstick in a bag you have to press the bottom of the tube in order to remove a lid. The second one is Rough Coco in 56 Teheran a frost corally orange colour. Although it's pretty colour and it's much subtler than Mac Frost but I'm quite disappointed as it's tend to sit between lines on my lips. I don't find them hydrating so my opinion I think it is most suitable for those with relatively healthy lips.

Burberry lip cover in Delicate rose 22 and Devon Sunset 28, both are nude colour from the name I think you can guess which colour is more of a pinkie nude and which colour is more of a corally nude. This formula applies really nicely, light-weight and very opaquely which no patchiness feeling. And the coolest thing I discover about the packaging is the magnetic lid that will flip itself around when you close the lid to ensure that it's in the right spot. I love twisting it around and listen to that clicking noise hehehe I'm a maddy girl I know. Aside from what I love about this formula I also have a little complain on its smell and taste. I think it smells like old-fashion lipstick and taste terrible.

Yves Saint Laurent. I'm sure everyone can recognise it from that golden luxe bullet. Amazing packaging design. After being obsess with MAC, Illamasqua and Topshop for awhile I just have a chance to get hold of YSL lipstick just around the beginning of this year! However this brand soon become my favourite high-end brand. Thanks to my sister that gave me her YSL lipstick to me. It's Rouge Pur Couture 09 Rose Stiletto, a fine shimmery deep plum colour with a soft silky finish lipstick that can last whole day. Provides medium to full coverage and doesn't accentuate flakes, applies evenly and precisely. Few months ago I was desperately want new lipstick in my life and luckily I found a voucher code from Feelunique.com. It was a £10 off when spend over £25 deal so I ordered myself Rough Volupte 13 Peach Passion. This colour is soooo pretty and really pigmented. The smell is also lovely like peachy fruity smell. It's light yet rich creamy finish surprisingly it last longer than many other creamy lipsticks but the downside is that the formula tend to setting into the lines and dry spot so it might need a bit of lipbalm underneath. Baby doll kiss & blush 4 Orange Fougueux that sleek packaging that make me think of nail polish caught my eyes the day it's released. The formula is velvety creamy that will dry matte but not give any uncomfortable finish. I found that it's not as pigmented as I thought but it's buildable.

Left to right : Chanel Desirable, Chanel Teheran, Burberry Delicate rose, Burberry Devon sunset, YSL Peach passion, YSL Rose stiletto, YSL Orange Fougueux, Nars Sexual healing, Nars Roman holiday, Nars Damage and Shu uemura PK 343

Nars although I like bold matte lipstick but I'm not sure why for Nars lipstick I always go for Sheer lipstick. I got 3 colours in total. Sexual healing a shimmering pink blossom, Roman Holiday a pastel pink and Damage a mauve red. The formula is so smooth that actually feel like tint lipbalm that is buildable for more coverage and slightly glossy.  A little comment on Sexual healing, it will look a bit brown-ish in a night time. I think this colour doesn't really suit me on it own but it's really good if I mix with some brighter colour.

Shu Uemura I only bought one lipstick from this brand and the lipstick I'm going to show you today is sadly had been discontinued. It's Rouge Unlimited PK343 a babypink with blue undertone. In term of packaging if I have to be honest I don't really like it, it made with thick clear plastic that although doesn't look cheap bit for that price I think I can get better. The formula is feel like another tint lip balm that start off sheer but it's buildable with sheen finish.

Which one is you favourite? Any recommendation which colour I should get?

OOTD : I was born to be a city girl @Jamie's Italian Leeds

Sawasdee ka~
Just before August say goodbye I realised that I haven't use my £10 voucher from Jamie's Italian yet. So my boyfriend and I decided to give a visit before the voucher expire. I don't have to say anything much about Jamie Oliver right? I'm pretty sure most of you know him either from book, a telly or restaurant name. I love the restaurant I just feel like they provide healthy and freshly made food.

As we were really starving we ordered 3 big full courses. Start with ultimate sharing platter for starter (it isn't cheap though £10.50 per person). It comes in a big long wooden tray as you can see in a picture below. Impressive! I would really recommend it for someone who really hungry otherwise it might be too much for a starter. My main course is a sea-bass with super food salad, another great dish that I want to recommend. Special salad that I'm not normally see the ingredients in any other restaurants. Although after 2 courses I felt pretty full but my tummy asked for more pudding so I didn't want to disappoint it lol. Raspberry and chocolate rippled pavlova is the dessert that I have to order every time I go there. And this time too ^___^ hmmm yummy.

After charge my life energy with a massive meal, it's time for photoshoot. My boyfriend asked that are you sure you want to take a photo when your belly smile to everybody. Well you guys are not gonna see my big belly here because I pulled it in hahahaha (ooops that's suppose to be secret). Anyway, I'm not sure whether I tell you before that I come from Bangkok, the city of life and fashion. Yeah I was born to be a city girl so when I say simple look it might not be simple for somebody. Yes and the look today is a simple one for me a plain black cropped top and red skirt that I mix and match with few cool accessories and tah dah the total look doesn't look bland anymore. Can't believe that my vintage bracelet is going really well with trendy necklace.

Cropped top : Ebay

Skirt : Urban Outfitters

Perfume bag : Romwe

Vintage bracelet : vintage shop in Portobello market

White necklace : New Look

Ankle boots : Unknown

Lipstick : Illamasqua in Isis

Location: City square and Jamie's Italian restaurant

What do you think about my outfit, yayy or nayy?

The forth post on my lipstick collection series will be a mixture of drugstore brands from UK and Japan. As you may know I have already reviewed few lipsticks before so I will not repeat it again. You can find out  the reviews for Bourjois rouge edition velvet matte lipstick here, L'oreal color riche collection privee here and Lookme the lipstick here. Although you won't see these 3 brands review on here but I've put the swatches in this post.

First of all let's start with Japanese drugstore. I went to Japan earlier this year and also around  October last year. No doubt, Japanese skin care and cosmetic products are some of the best in the world that provide excellent quality and value for money. Rows and rows of make up I was pretty enjoy wandering around drugstore. Most lipsticks have sheen finish (sometime with a high glittery gloss) and they are very moisturising. Apart from great formula, I found the colour ranges can be quite limited. While most of the time I tend to go for bold matte lipstick, most drugstore brands in Japan are filled with pale pinks, nudes, and pale peaches. Well, but this doesn't mean I don't like nude shade. I'm currently own 9 Japanese drugstore lipsticks from 3 different brands. First is Lavshuca, a very popular brand that I heard a lot of people talk about. Their lipsticks are sheer but buildable for full coverage. While PK-3 provide more pigmented, PK-1 and BE-2 are a little bit glossier with micro glitter that you can hardly notice when you apply on the lips.  

Canmake on the other hand has creamier finish but still moisturising. I love the plain metal gold packaging that some how make me feel very luxe. Although it is a bit hard wearing 01 melty nude (copper tube) on it own because it's too white but I found that mixing with other bold colour will give a new beautiful milky colour on the lips. 01 creamy touch (Golden tube) is another good nude lipstick colour that I like because it gives a neutral natural look. I talked about Lookme the lipstick few month ago you can read a full review here.

 Next, it's time for UK drugstore. We are all know pretty well that they are lots of brands out there that have a good quality make up product that sometimes as good as high-end with a smaller price. I own total 18 lipsticks from UK drugstore. I shall start with Beauty UK, I've never spotted this brand before until I watch one of Lisa Eldridge youtube videos she used this Vampire shade on one of her make up tutorials and I instantly want to try it. Some times cheap packaging can't tell that there is a good quality product inside. I'm pretty surprise how pigmented this lip is. It's really bold true red with a minty flavour and it's only cost £3.49 per lipstick! Such a bargain! 

Next, my fave brand Sleek I can say that their lipsticks are as good as MAC. I secretly wish that they will have more colour choice. There are 2 different finishes, sheen and matte. For bright shade with sheen finish I would recommend using lip brush to apply or use lipliner underneath to avoid mess. Overall they are really pigmented, glide on really well and smooth.  

Me me me remind me of amplified finish from MAC the finish is exactly the same with a nice fragrance smell and the staying power is great too. I got one in shade "Berry Crush" a beautiful shimmery berry colour with blue undertone. Although I'm not a fan of shimmery lipstick but I like this one

Do you know that Jack Will used to do a small make up line. I got these 3 cute little lipstick from a gift set. To be honest I bought it because I love the packaging and it was on sale after Christmas few years ago. I just realise that I have these lipsticks in my collection when I start this series. The reason I don't really use it because the plastic lid goes a bit wonky and cracked :/ For the formula I would say it's almost matte a bit on the patchy side and can tend to highlight drier areas. Well we don't really expect a brand known for making hoodies to be equally good at make-up right? 

Lastly my most least favourite lipstick from Seventeen in shade Saintly I don't like how it looks and feel on my lips and it seems to emphasise dry patch and crease so I only wear it only 3 times after I purchase it :(

You can find a full review for Bourjois rough edition and L'oreal colour riche privee here and here.

Which one is you favourite? Any recommendation which colour I should get?

Stay tuned for my high-end lipstick collection. I'll post it next Sunday
