REVIEW: Beauty UK + NYX Lippies

Ok, I'm not sleeping yet. I'm still trying to finish this big bag of RITZ Toasted Chips Sweet Home Sour Cream and Onion, which is really, really good and healthy. I've been craving for this for months and I got two bags right away. Anyway, I'm not gonna talk about these chips, I'll talk of lipsticks instead.

Have you ever found yourself wondering why you always buy the same shades of makeup? Of course, the foundie is a different story because it's unlikely that you have to change foundation shades per purchase. I'm referring to lipsticks, blushes, etc. You now get it.

My HG blush is Nars Orgasm, but since it's so expensive (and I don't want to get stuck for years using the same shade of blush), I'm always in the look out for dupes. Over the past years, I have accumulated a good amount of blushes with almost the same color as Orgasm. So basically, it's like being stuck with the same shade of blush after all. Sheesssh.

Same goes with lipsticks. I'm not a lipstick person. I'm the one who tends to neglect my lips so often that I think I look okay without a lipstick on. It's just lately that I realized that colorless lips are not cool. So I'm on the look out for good ones. I was a MAC Twig person but I read somewhere before that Fanny Serrano's Coco Copper is an exact dupe. So for 199pesos I bought it. And yes, truly, it's a good dupe. I'm still keeping it and shying away from the Twig.

I would want to play with the lipstick shades I use so I tried pinks, reds, and nudes. As I recently posted (a few hours ago), I recently bought some new lippies. And there! I swatched them, took some photos, and dear, they are all sisters. It's like they belong to the same lipstick family. I swear when I bought them they looked different from each other. But now, I'm not so convinced. Here are the swatches of Beauty UK in Passion, NYX Round Lisptick in Fig, and NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Antwerp and San Paulo.


BAZAAR LOVE ♥

I know I've been putting off blogging lately. I have a lot to talk about but I just can't find the time. Anyway, I have been mostly outdoors doing what else - Christmas shopping! Christmas is around the corner, and I'm really excited that I have been making plans this early.

And since it's the season to be jolly, bazaars are just around every where. I get tons of invites from bazaaristas asking me to drop by their stalls or even put up a stall of my own. Well, dropping by is easy, but joining, I have a lot of thinking to do about that first.

I have visited a number of bazaars for the last couple of months but today I will talk about my three favorites, namely: The Trendsetter's Bazaar, The Supersale Bazaar, and The Rockwell Moonlit Bazaar.

The Trendsetter Bazaar took place on October 7-9 at the Rockwell Tent in Makati. I went there at around 8PM on the first day. I met some of my favorite online sellers there and some friends too. I almost didn't make it because I had a blotchy and red face that day (I just finished my powerpeel session and skin fusion at Flawless in the AM), but that didn't stop me. The tent were full of shoppers hustling and bustling about. But since the boyfriend was with me, we just spent less than an hour there because he wanted to go to Powerplant Mall and well, eat. However, I took home 4 blushes that day. And here they are.
