Yves Saint Laurent ROUGE VOLUPTÉ Silky Sensual Radiant Lipstick SPF 15

I got these fabulous lippies during my short trip in Macau. I saw a YSL rack at one of the duty free shops at The Venetian and I got all excited. I tried out the colors and I ended up getting #3 Beige Ultimate (mauve taupe) and #21 Vibrant Brown (deep reddish brown)... Well what can I say.. I am in love with them! The packaging is gorgeous. And the lipstick quality is great! Reminds me so much of Benefit's Silky Finish Lipstick. So smooth, silky and creamy when applied. It's super pigmented and has a decent lasting power. It fades naturally (looking more of like a lip stain) without leaving that ugly ring (outline) on your lips.. It also moisturizes my lips without that sticky feeling. Not only that, they also have SPF 15 in them. Love it! These lippies looked so beautiful on my lips that's why I didn't even have any second thoughts about getting them.

I sooo so love the colors I got. One neutral and one that has a darker deep reddish brown shade. If you're gonna ask if I'm gonna repurchase? Yes! As long as I have the budget. There are so much more gorgeous colors to choose from, and I can't wait to get my hands on them. =)

Rating: Very very good kitty!

haul from a short trip

Hi Everyone! I am back. I went to Macau last week with my family. I wasn't really expecting much from Macau, I thought it was just like Hong Kong but I was just wrong. It was so beautiful and clean. We stayed at the Venetian and the rooms were just awesome. It was so relaxing. I miss my bed there already. And I want to go back soon. Anyway after the city tour, we still had like two days to do whatever or go wherever we wanted to. We went to Senado Square and there were a lot of shops! I can remember this store called "BONJOUR" that sells a lot of imported and local beauty products. And I think there was also "Sasa" (if I'm not mistaken) that sells a lot of beauty stuff. I was overwhelmed. Too overwhelmed that I didn't even get to buy stuff for myself. I was too busy buying pasalubongs (gifts) and then I realized, why the hell haven't I bought anything for myself yet. Lol. So yeah, I also love the Venetian Hotel because I can go shopping anytime. I just take the elevator from our room and there I am at the Grand Canal Shoppes & the Four Seasons Shoppes! Seriously, there were just a LOT of shops in there. I don't think 3 days is enough to go all through those shops. Unfortunately, I didn't get to buy any clothes. I don't know why, I guess I was too lazy to fit and try them on because I was wearing a lot. The weather dropped to 4ºC and I had to wear a jacket, scarf, etc to keep me warm.

But nonethless, I'm still happy with my new purchases. =)

Some none makeup/skincare stuff that I got:
I've been looking for a nice red and grey bag for so long. But still, I didn't find anything that I liked during my trip. So instead, I got the small black satchel bag and a big blue/brown stripe bag.. I also have been meaning to get myself a black watch, so glad that I waited for this trip to get one. I love it!... And the shoes! I just love these shoes. They are so comfy and the zebra print inside is just so cute! =)

And now for the makeup goodies that I got:


Clinique Superfit in Cream Beige. I've been hearing a lot of good stuff about this and I love that it's oil free. I only have one liquid foundation and I thought I'd try this one out.

Urban Decay Lipstick in Voodoo. I was surprised to see a UD rack at the Duty Free shop inside The Venetian. I got so excited! But they really didn't have a lot. They only had one palette available.. So I thought I'd just get another lippie cos I loved my UD lipstick in Gash.

And lastly, I got two of YSL ROUGE VOLUPTÉ Silky Sensual Radiant Lipstick SPF 15 in #3 (Beige Ultimate) and #21 (Vibrant Brown). So far I'm loving these, I'll post more about these soon. =)

So that's it. I will be posting reviews/swatches soon. Thanks for reading! =)
