Lipstick Reviews Series: Lancôme 3 L’Absolu Nu Trio

Chào các bạn,

Mùa Thu đến rồi. Các thương hiệu thời trang thì ngập tràn trong lookbook và streetstyle reports những chiếc áo len, dạ to sụ, những chiếc áo khoác măng tô, cape, cùng với những đôi boots da bò. Phong cách makeup với tông màu neutrals, trầm ấm và làn môi màu nude hay đỏ rượu luôn là xu hướng cho các bộ sưu tập Thu – Đông.

Bài blog hôm nay sẽ là reviews và swatches cho gift set 3 L’absolu Nu của Lancôme. Mình mua được set này ở cửa hàng duty free tại sân bay Changi ở Singapore (bạn có thể tham khảo tại đây) . Set này mình lại không thấy available ở store của Lancôme, nhưng đều có ở hầu hết các cửa hàng duty free ở sân bay.

Dòng L’Absolu Nu theo mình đánh giá thì chất liệu son có độ ẩm tự nhiên, texture mịn mượt, và finish trên môi có độ bóng nhẹ của dưỡng ẩm. Nhìn chung chất son tương tự như dòng L’Absolu Rouge, vốn đã quá quen thuộc với những tín đồ của những thỏi son. Một điểm mà mình thích ở dòng L’absolu Nu này là khi màu son trôi đi không làm môi mình bị khô, bong tróc và màu son còn bám lại trên môi cũng không bị bệt hay chỗ-có-chỗ-không.

Thiết kế bên ngoài của L’Absolu Nu khá giống với dòng L’Absolu Rouge. Từ cái hình dáng thỏi son đen bóng với đầu vát tròn nhẵn được in logo hoa hồng ánh bạc đặc trưng của thương hiệu và dòng chữ Lancôme dưới chân thỏi son cho đến kiểu thiết kế nắp có nam châm khi đóng nghe ‘cách cách’ rất kiêu, khiến thỏi son Lancôme đẹp hoàn hảo và sang trọng đến mê mẩn. Đặc biệt dòng son L’Absolu Nu có in chìm những đoá hoa hồng chạy dọc nắp son. Là một thương hiệu thuộc dòng high end nên những thiết kế packaging của Lancôme là không chê vào đâu được.

Và đây là bảng swatch màu của 3 thỏi son nude này.

#104

Đây là một màu nude tự nhiên nhất trong ba màu. Một màu nude không quá tươi cũng không quá tái nhợt với chút sắc hồng cam nên trông cực kỳ tự nhiên và kết hợp rất ăn ý với màu da châu Á, đặc biệt là những cô nàng có làn da khá ngăm như mình. Màu này giống y như kiểu không-makeup-gì-cả-nhưng-đẹp-hơn-mặt-mộc ;)

#207

 Một màu nude đúng chất ‘naked’. Đối với mình, màu nude này sẽ khá là tái và không hợp với màu da mình cho lắm. Với một màu son nhạt như màu 207, makeup của bạn cần nhấn nhá ở phần mắt và chân mày. Smokey eye và chân mày được tỉa và vẽ tỉ mỉ sẽ hoàn hảo makeup look của bạn.  

#307

Nếu bạn có làn da trắng sáng, màu nude 307 chính là màu nude dành cho bạn. 307 là một màu nude hồng và khá tươi tắn. Dạo này mình thích kiểu makeup trong suốt tự nhiên, chân mày kẻ tự nhiên, một chút phấn mắt màu nâu, chuốt một lớp mascara mỏng, phấn má hồng nhẹ và môi màu nude 307.

Son đỏ làm nên phong cách nổi bật, sang trọng và quyến rũ. Còn son nude tạo cảm giác mộc mạc, trẻ trung và tươi mới. Mỗi người chọn cho mình một phong cách riêng, nhưng son môi thì dễ dàng lau đi vậy nên ngại gì mà không thử cho mình một màu son mới?

Màu son thích nhất từ trước đến giờ của bạn là gì? Comment chia sẻ cho mình biết nhé!

Lash & Lingerie: Autumn Blues – Pre-Fall Outfit Inspirations

Dear my lovely friends,

Beware my ladies, this post is going to get a bit sexier than ever!

I’m so excited to collaborate with Adore Me Lingerie on their new project. Taking a look at Fall Lookbook 2015, I fell in love head over heels right at first sight!

As a modern woman, I believe lingerie is the most intimate expression of your personal style. Lingerie is a powerful and mysterious accessory that enhances the confidence and inner beauty of a woman. A woman who wears the right lingerie underneath would be more attractive and feminine. Long gone the days when wearing lingerie is just an obligation as you have to in public. Today lingerie became a fun, interesting accessory that every woman treats her body and it should not only be reserved for special occasion.

Bralette & Panties: Adore Me Lingerie  

I love wearing cool shades of blue like this bralette set from Fall Lookbook 2015 of Adore Me Lingerie. I, personally, like wearing bralette because of its comfortableness even though it doesn’t give much support. If you would prefer more support, don’t worry since Adore Me Lingerie has all the choices for you.

For the relaxed and casual look, I’d love to wear a pair of high-waisted blue skinny jeans with a loose white shirt. You can never go wrong with blue jeans and a white shirt this fall. The one thing I love about fall outfits is that you can have fun with layering your clothes. In this look I throw on a beige trench coat. To give a feminine look, I wear a pair of black strappy high heels. I prefer to keep my accessories sleek and understated.

The one makeup look that is feminine yet attractive is a sassy red lip and long, sexy eyelashes.

Shirt: Mango

Jeans: Warehouse Waredenim

Coat: Topshop

Shoes: Dolly

Lipstick Reviews Series: Shu Uemura Tint In Gelato

Hello my lovely readers!

I have a huge crush on lip and cheek products, shades from red to coral, pink, light hue of orange,… Oh dear I just can’t get enough!

As life is getting busier, these days we prefer multi-use products because of its convenience. There are so many similar products on the market; however, Shu Uemura Tint In Gelato is the one you should try this Spring – Summer 2015.

As I said this is a multi-use product, don’t confuse yourself by the packaging. These days you can never tell because packaging can be so deceiving. Gone are the days when it was only lip gloss that came packaged like this. So yes, here come another 2 in 1 lips and cheeks tint! But don’t get the wrong idea, Shu Uemura is definitely not just-another-one kind of things, and I’m going to tell you why.

Overall about the packaging, Shu Uemura Tint in Gelato has a simple yet elegant design. The wand and brush is a soft, doe-foot applicator, which makes it easy to apply on the lip and cheeks as well.

Tint in Gelatos come in 12 shades and are said to be part of the permanent range with just two colours being limited edition, BG01 and AT04 (a warm orange with gold shimmer). The color range is quite diversified, there’s something for every skin tone and favorite. For reference, the one I review today is shade AT01 Cassis Delight, which is a classy and bold red color with neutral undertones, so it would be perfect for every skin tone. The color is very pigmented, and I find the AT01 color so bright and bold that I would rarely use for my makeup look. Anyway, it stills a good idea for those who wearing red lip almost every day. And other colors in the range look so nice and pretty, I’m so excited to try them all.

Now let’s talk about the texture. The lipstick glides on smoothly and it doesn’t feel sticky on my lips which is a good thing. Because of being a multi-use product, Tint In Gelato has a fresh and creamy gelato-like unique formula magically changes from a thick to a thin layer for variations of finish: from intense dewy to soft matte finish.Thin layer gives a semi-matte look with a natural sheen finish, while delicate layering gives more intense color payoff. I, personally find thin layer is the way to go, just gently dab it on your lips and blend it out. A little goes a very long way. On special occasion, when you want your look to be bright and bold, you can apply right from the lipstick to get an intense dewy finish (as you can see in photos below)

I tried Tint In Gelato on a night out to test their long-lasting feature. Afterward, I find this doesn’t very long-lasting since I have to retouch during the night. However, it’s completely fine by me as I’m not looking a lipstick that stay on all day and difficult to remove (which I find it a little bit annoying), and yeah I’m willing to touch up my lipstick during the day.

In general, I love this Shu Uemura Tint In Gelato is worth trying and the price is more affordable than other department brand (around $28). I’ve tried the Yves Saint Laurent Baby Doll Kiss & Blush ($40), and I don’t see much different between these two, the formulas are pretty much identical.

Have you tried these yet? Share your thoughts with me in the comment below cause I’m going to try other color from the range, any suggestion?

LIPSTICK REVIEWS SERIES: Clinique Pop Lip Colour + Primer

Hey guys,

It's been ages since the last time I posted. Since my last semester was insanely busy, I barely have time to write blog and share all my beauty stuffs with you guys. But I'm so glad it's over now, and here come the best time of the year S-U-M-M-E-R !!

So today I'm going to share with you my thoughts about the new lipstick line from CLINIQUE which is the CLINIQUE Pop Lip Colour + Primer. There are 16 shades in this collection and they are all simply beautiful. As usual, Clinique's products are 100% fragrance free and allergy tested. They're quite affordable as far as higher end lipsticks go, at $18/piece from Sephora and 490.000 VND in stores, Vietnam.

I have to say that I fell in love with the packaging as soon as I spotted it in store. The packaging is so cute and it's quite functional too. The cap boasts a chrome-like finish that I find it very convenient for on-the-go touchups because it acts as a tiny mirror (anyway, I still have a compact mirror in my makeup bag all the time, but you know just in case). 

And here’s my experience. The first time I tried, I applied it right from the lipstick. The lipstick goes on smoothly and applies evenly and opaque, I’d have to say. The formula is very creamy and quite hydrating, even after they dry down to a satin finish. However, it does dry my lips a bit, I have to touch up some lip balm during the day. The color is so pigmented. For reference, this shade is 06 Poppy Pop, which is a fun, bright orangey red color. I really like the semi-matte finish which makes the color pop even more. I find this lipstick is very long-lasting that I don’t need to retouch as much unless I'm out the whole day.

I'm not sure about the all-in-one aspect of this lipstick, with its claims of having a built-in primer. I don't really notice much difference in how long these wear or how smoothing they are compared to other creamy satin lipsticks. I always use lip balm as a base anyway.

As far as I’m concerned, I can’t wait to pick up and try more shades from this line. Nude Pop, Melon Pop and Passion Pop are on my radar.

Have you tried the new Clinique Pop Lip Colour & Primer? Let me know your thoughts in the comment below.

Love yourself more and always be beautiful.

& Have fun with makeup!
