lippy problem.. me? no way!

in light of my "what's in my bag" post a few days ago.. today i will be rambling about my lippies!

mind you… these were the ones that were within eyesight in my bag.. or scattered around my room… (as you may or may not have noticed… i am very fond of lip balms)

the first and my absolute favourite at the moment are these Etude House Dear My Jelly Lips in JOR203 and JPK004. I absolutely adore these.. they're actually lip tints and apparently inspired by jelly beans! They taste great.. leave your lips looking like coloured jellies.. just.. amazing! my only suggestion is to make sure you don't have any dry skin on your lips.. so best to exfoliate first or use a lip balm before putting a generous amount on your lips..

speaking of exfoliating.. i recently tried the Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub after many awesome reviews and suggestions from friends.. can't say i love it per se.. cause it's a little messy with the sugar granules but man does it work wonders for your lips

i'm sure you've seen these suckers around everywhere.. and i'm pretty sure every lip loving woman has at least one of these somewhere in her purse or room! Maybelline Baby Lips! I managed to score these from Priceline during their 40% off all cosmetics sale a few months back. I usually use the Pink Lolita before i smack on my Etude House Jelly Lip

i'm not very sure if there's a shelf life for lip products.. but i've had this for years… though i've only used it a few times… mostly cause i bought this when i was in my tomboyish phase.. not really sure why i bought it when i did to be honest.. this is a tinted lip conditioner from MAC in Petting Pink. i recently used it for a dinner party i went to a few weeks ago and got so many compliments for it. guess lip tints are in now!

this is Born Lippy in Guava from The Body Shop.. i remember my first lippy from The Body Shop was Passionberry back in high school and i was mostly obsessed with the smell of the lip balm… i would literally just sit in class sniffing the thing! i think i like this only because of the smell.. it is moisturising.. but it doesn't last very long.. and so i find myself having to reapply quite often on top of the fact that the product is on the runnier side.. i end up having a greasy finger after i've applied the product to my lips… still love the smell though. hahaha

this is a new buy for me.. only a few days ago actually (note that it's still in its original packaging).. again from Priceline's 40% off all cosmetics sale (who doesn't love a good sale?! teeheehee*) after hearing so many good things from my lip stick loving friends… i thought i'd give it a go.. this is Australis Velourlips in Rio-D. it apparently goes on like lip gloss but dries matte. can't wait to try it out.

these fat coloured egg looking things are obscenely popular in The States. Evolution of Smooth, also known as EOS for short lip balms. absolutely gloriously moisturising with delicious fruity scents. here i have melon and strawberry sorbet. one given to me by my best friend and the other from a friend living in Georgia

another unopened… Urban Rituelle lip balm in Peach Blossom. (i really need to use up a lip balm before getting another one.. but how can you resist these fruity things?!) i've never actually heard of this brand until i was shopping with a friend in Sydney when we came across a small beauty shop in China Town and i saw the samples there and it smelled so delectable that i just had to have one.. but i think this was one of the most expensive lip balms i own.. next to my MAC lip conditioner.. my friend saw me sniffing tiny coloured pots so she deeded to join in.. after picking out which we liked more she bought herself and myself one. (not sure if i'll ever open it to be honest.. hahaha.. least not for a while.. so i really hope they have a really long shelf life)

hope you ladies enjoyed this post.. if there are any of your must have lippies you'd recommend.. i'd LOVE to hear your list!

WHAT'S IN MY BAG?!

Greetings readers!

Today i have a "what's in my bag" blog post! I'm sure you've seen a few video blogs on youtube for this tag.. so a few ladies and myself have decided to do a what's in my bag blog post! Hope you enjoy reading this and that it's not too boring!

Coach is my absolutely favourite all time handbag brand and i don't think that will ever change.. the penis bought me this baby about 2 years ago because my old handbag was absolutely shredded.. i mean.. the "leather" interior was starting to ware down so severely that it literally shredded.. and i could peel off the pieces of leather out.. it was pretty sad. but.. no fear.. i now have this precious baby to help me carry all my things around!

First is my sunnies.. these are actually my first ever "nice" sunnies. For the longest time i only ever bought the cheap 10-15 dollar sunnies because i'd somehow always manage to lose them! For whatever reason.. whether i misplace them and forget where i left them last.. or have them stolen.. i don't even know.. i just know that they never fail to go missing if not in a few days.. a few months surely. Or it could be that because i know they're cheap i don't take care of them..? who knows.. but whatever the case.. i now have these Ray Ban's! I got this in a Singapore Sunglasses Hut equivalent.. and who doesn't love Duty Free shopping.. on top of haggling asian shops for cheaper prices muahahahahaha*. My only fuss about these are they're not prescription sunglasses.. and i.. if you don't already know have four eyes. I could wear contacts.. but my eyes dry out so quickly that i'd have to use eye drops constantly.. and who's really bothered to do that every few minutes when they're out.. so i usually change back and forth from sunnies and my prescription glasses if i need to see something.

Of course my wallet.. and of course Coach. Absolutely adore this wallet. Before i purchased this bad boy in Atlantic City i used the cheap random 10-20 dollar wallets and would go through wallets every few months.. (i don't have commitment issues at all…) but i've had this wallet for over 4 years and it's still in excellent condition.

my iPod… because.. i can't live without music.. and yes i am still going through a kpop phase.

my adorable kitty coin purse… because i hate the smell of money and don't want to stretch out my wallet with coins.. (my best friend has the exact same one in purple.. we bought at the same time for my birthday… because i'm lame and like match match things with my favourites.)

hand and nail essentials.. Lush Lemony Flutter cuticle butter and L'Occitane hand cream (a definite must for all you nail enthusiasts or dry hands/eczema sufferers)

my keys! (i love all things keys.. ironic that i only have one key key for the house.. and a bunch of random keys that don't actually work… the angle keyring is also a couple keychain.. the penis has one that saids love on the heart.. yes yes.. i'm totally lame)

small pouch of lady needs.. because mother nature doesn't care that you're out and wearing a skirt.. she comes when she wants to whenever she wants to. (i actually have some advil in there too.. because i get obscene unforgiving cramps whenever she comes.. merciless wench i tell you)

tissues

my two current absolute loves in lippies right now. Etude House Sweet Recipe Dear My Jelly Lips in JOR203 and Baby Lips in Pink Lolita! Love Love Love these two together..

and last but certainly not least a hair bow.. because i love bows and.. they're adorable?.. actually i think i wore few weeks back and forgot to take it out..

so this concludes all the things that are in my bag! pretty boring huh.. you should see what's in my school bag.. THAT will be so much less entertaining.. hahahahahaha!
but check out what's in Michelle's bag!
