What's in my Make up bag?

Hi everyone! I just thought I'd share what's inside my kit. I don't really carry so much. Just a few basic things I use from day to day. My lip products and blush changes daily depending on what I feel like wearing. :)

My makeup bag! I got it from Sanrio Puroland when I visited Japan. So cute. :)


Currently what's inside

What's inside:

1.) Shiseido lash curler
2.) Ecotools brush
3.) Nars blush in Orgasm
4.) Sephora lip liner (Natural, I think)
5.) Nars lipgloss in Pillow Talk
6.) Urban Decay 24/7 pencil in Zero
7.) Lolita perfume sample
8.) Softlips cherry
9.) Mac Studio Fix NC40
10.) hair pins
11.) black rubbers

I always make sure I carry some hair pins and black rubbers with me. Because there are days when my hair just won't cooperate so I just tie it or something. :) So yeah, that's all. Hope you enjoyed!

Review: Nars Love Set

Nars Love Set includes the following product:
1.) Orgasm Blush
2.) Sex Machine Velvet Matte Lip Pencil
3.) Pillow Talk Lip Gloss


I originally wanted to get just the Orgasm Blush, but I checked Sephora.Com and found out about their Love Set. I know this was like their Valentine promo or something so some of their stores have already ran out of the set. Luckily, their store at Tysons Corner VA still carries it. =)

Orgasm Blush: Okay the thing is, I got this without testing it first, like I mentioned on my prior post.. I was excited when I finally got it and I immediately swatched it at the back of my hand. Looking at the swatch, the only thing I felt was... REGRET! The color looked super shimmery. And I didn't really think I could pull off anything like that.. So yeah, I got so disappointed because I will never be able to wear that... But when I got home, I thought I'd try it on... And I never thought I'd say this, but I LOVED IT! I don't know but when I applied it on my cheeks, it didn't look shimmery at all. It came out sheer (the color is buildable) and it gave me this pinky peach natural looking flush with a bit of glow. Nothing crazy shimmer whatsoever. I even tried to look at it closely in the mirror, because I can't believe that it didn't appear too shimmery when I applied it on my cheeks. It did have a TINSY BIT of golden specks, but NOT a lot like when I swatched it and they're almost not visible at all. So yes, I love it. I can't wait til I wake up tomorrow, and put it on again. =)

UPDATE: I noticed that when I use my Eco Tools Retractable Kabuki Brush, it gives off a sheerer color so I have to dip the brush and put some more for about 3 times. But when I use my Eco Tools Blush Brush, it gives me the exact color I want with just one dip and application.. I read about how others would complain on how sheer this product could be, maybe it has something to do with using the right brush. =)

Sex Machine Velvet Matte Lip Pencil: This lip pencil has a neautral light baby pink color to it. It's creamy and it goes on smoothly. It also feels moisturizing on the lips. The color is nice, especially when you want to do a nude lip with a hint of color. I tried using this, topped with Cover Girl's Wetslicks in Peaches n' Gleam, and I think it looked nice. The only thing I didn't like about it is that you have to sharpen it. But aside from that, I love it. It feels great and it looks great!

Pillow Talk Lip Gloss: I love this one, too. It has a rosy-mauvy-pink color and it's very pigmented. I think it does have a bit of a golden shimmer. What I also love about this is that it doesn't have any smell and it's not too sticky.

Rating: Very Good Kitty!

Below is an image of what the three products looked like when I applied them. I don't know if you guys can even see the Orgasm Blush, the camera might've washed off the color or something. On the lips is Sex Machine topped with Pillow Talk lip gloss.
That's all for now, hopefully I could do more reviews soon. Hope this helped!

New Purchase!

I just got some of the stuff that I asked my bro-in-law to get for me. I guess I was lucky because someone he knew was going home and he asked if they could bring along my stuff so I can get them sooner. I'm so happy to have received them this early. I thought I'd have to wait for a month or so. =)

It's funny to imagine a guy buying these girly stuff at stores like Sephora, Ulta, etc.. He told me stories at how the sales people would react when they see him. They'd joke and say stuff like "Hi! What are you doing here?!", "These are not for you, right?" in a friendly manner. One of the things I could remember that he replied to them was, "These are for my sister, she's bed ridden and disabled that's why she asked me to get all these for her"... HAHA! My bro-in-law's cool and funny. But of course they didn't believe him. But they thought it was sweet that he's buying stuff for his sister. lol. Anyway, enough rambling. =D Here are the stuff that I got:

1. Too Faced Shadow Insurance
2. Nars Love Set
3. Eco Tools 5 piece brush set
4. Eco Tools Retractable Kabuki
5. NYX Eyeshadow in Black
6. NYX Eyeshadow in Taupe
7. Essence of Beauty Crease Brush Duo

Finally got the Nars Love Set! I never got the chance to check it out at Rustans but the set was almost out of stock at Sephora stores so I had to get it before it's gone. It was a risk without trying it first, I know. But I have no regrets! I love it!

I'm also glad to have the Essence of Beauty Crease Brush Duo, been looking for a crease brush for ages so I'm very excited about it too.

Hopefully, I could post reviews about each of these products soon. =)

Currently lemming for

DuWop Prime Venom. I want to try this one. I read that it doesn't really plump but it just helps fill the lines on your lips making it look more youthful. I don't really want a plumper lip so I think it's great, just what I'm looking for.





Neutrogena Ageless Intensives™ Lip Plumping Treatment SPF 20. This one caught my eye instantly. I am obsessed with anti-aging products and I thought this is just perfect. It smooths your lips and helps reduce lines plus it has SPF 20. Great isn't it. I also read a lot of great reviews about this. I only hope this was available locally. Hopefully, I can get to try this sometime.=)




Too Faced Natural Eye Neutral Eye Shadow Collection. I do not really wear eyeshadow on a day to day basis. I usually just have eyeliner, mascara, blush, and lip color. I only own a few eyeshadow and since I am just starting out with using eyeshadow, I thought this is a great palette to add to my mini collection. And I think it's great, because I prefer neutrals and I'm still quite hesitant and unsure if I can pull off those bright colors.



The last one I have already mentioned on my earlier post. The Nars Orgasm Blush! I might get this one. I really cannot help myself anymore. I might take Thiamere's advice and go to Rustan's and see for myself. But I don't know if I'm gonna get it there or I'm gonna ask someone else to get it for me abroad. Because they have this Love Set that I don't even know if it's still available and I want it. Sigh.

NARS: The Love Set

I know a lot of you would say that this is an overrated product, but I just can't help it. I just suddenly wanted to jump into the bandwagon and finally get NARS Orgasm Blush. I checked Sephora and they have this limited edition "The Love Set". It includes Orgasm Blush, Pillow Talk Lip gloss, and Sex Machine Lip pencil.. I just want to get my hands on these. BUT I've been trying to contemplate whether I should or should not get it. It's giving me a headache.

Can anyone please advice. Is this good for yellow Asian skintone (I'm not too fair though, just kind of in between fair and medium)? Is it too shimmery or not? I tend to stray away from shimmery blushes, but if it's not too shimmery then I guess I might give it a try. I actually have Clinique's blush in "smoldering plum" and it has a bit shimmer on it, but when I apply it on, it doesn't really have any or much shimmer at all so I like it.

Have you guys tried this blush? Did you like it or not?

I'd appreciate any input. Thanks in advance! =)
