Sophie Paris J'adore Lipstick in Summer Pink

Yey! for another post. :D And this time, it's about lips and lipstick. ;)

This one is from Sophie Paris. (I think they changed their name from Sophie Martin to Sophie Paris.) And it's none other than a lippie from their very affordable J'adore Lipstick line, the Summer Pink lippie.

Sophie Paris J'adore Lipstick in Summer Pink (P79)

What I really love about this one (aside from the price) is the shade. It's bold compared to Avon lippies. But if you want a bolder shade of pink, go for Ice Pink from the same line since it's really what you can call hot pink. Summer Pink is the subtler version which is perfect for everyday use. (But I didn't say that you can't use Ice Pink everyday. ;) )

It shows the manufacturing batch and the expiration date!

Additionally, Summer Pink (and Ice Pink) has that blue tinge that suggests ladies with cool skin tones can pull it off best. :) But you know, until now, I'm not sure what undertone I have. LOL. I just always label myself neutral. Haha.

The J'adore Lipstick line from Sophie Paris is matte. So you've gotta be careful if you already have dry and chapped lips like me. LOL. Yes, I still use it because I like the shade though it's quite drying. Maybe I'll stop when I already have a new pink lippie. Anyway, you and I can always put on lip balm first so I guess we're still saved. :D

With that, please excuse my chapped lips on the photos. :D I've been using this lippie for a few consecutive days now.

Lastly, it's very affordable for only P79! And what's even better, since you're ordering from a "Sophie lady" (uhmm..I dunno what to call them so I've got to borrow from Avon), you can pay for it for a whole month. LOL.

I got this from my classmate who sold Sophie Paris two to three months ago. And I was thinking that since she already stopped selling, I wouldn't be able to collect other shades from the line. My sister got lucky coz she already had three shades.

FOTD: My Everyday Look

This is my first time to post something like this, so please, please bear with me. :D And FOTD still stands for Face of the Day and not Friend of the Devil. LOL.

So here it goes. ;)

Me and my favorite (and applicable) statement shirt. LOL.

This is my everyday look. It's just simple because I only go to school  on weekdays and malls on weekends. That's it, the life of an accounting student. LOL. I just play around with colors depending on my mood, and at times, I mean most of the times, do winged lines on my eyelids.

Here are the products I've used to create this look:

Etude House BB Magic Cream Refreshing
Tony Moly Baby Doll Pot Concealer Natural Beige
Maybelline Clear Smooth Extra Shine Free Powder Foundation Honey
Fashion 21 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner
Avon Glimmersticks Eyeliner Blackest Black
Avon Simply Pretty Long Lash Waterproof Mascara
Etude House Styling Eyeliner 02 White
elf Natural Radiance Blush in Glow
Lip Ice Lipbalm in Strawberry

Sophie Martin J'adore Lipstick Summer Pink

For this look, I focus on my eyes. I usually line my eyelids thicker than the usual (but not excessively thick as with ulzzangs and gyarus) because my eyes are small and I use my comfy eyeglasses all the time. (I still haven't decided when I'm gonna use contact lens because they're not supposed to be ordinary contact lens, I need toric lens. They're not as inexpensive as contact lens and I'm scared of wasting money in case I find it too difficult to use and maintain. Any suggestions, dearies?)

Anyway, I find makeup fun (though I think I should also have fun reading my books and reviewers) and I always look forward to that 10-20 minutes of making my face before being harassed by the hustle and bustle of Metro Manila. :)

Haul: Skin Care and Make up Addiction

Since I've had the Etude House haul, I've been addicted to make up in general.

Oh I know. If you know me, you have already seen me addicted to group buying and daily deal sites. And yes, make up is my new addiction. And welcome! LOL. :)

As I was saying, I can't help but add a few things to my daily make up and skin care routine. I've loved skin care ever since, but I've grown to like make up too. :)

And for the past few weeks, here's what I've got (and been using).

Natural Mask Ad Pomegranate (P58)

Natural Mask Ad Lemon (P58)

Natural Mask Ad Aloe Vera (P58)
Natural Mask Ad Pearl Extract (P58)

I like face masks and I've been using them ever since the Etude House haul. I'm using one every three days. :)

Green Tea Nose Pack (P38)

Black Head Remover Dual Sheet (P78)

I've already tried the Etude House nose pack and I can say that it does its job. As for the blackhead remover, I'm contemplating on when to use it since I've read bad reviews about it. Probably, I've lost the excitement with this blackhead remover dual sheet.

I also bought their cheap mascara and styling eyeliner. I'll review these two on another post. :)

Oh~ m'Eye Lash Volume and Longlash (P198)
Styling Eyeliner 02 (P128)

And can I ever forget to drop by Tony Moly in Megamall. :D I've been restraining myself from buying stuffs from this store because I'm waiting for the membership card. But now that it's available, I'll surely buy few stuffs next week. Oooh, I'm excited. :)

Charcoal Nose Pack (P28)
Essential Mask Sheet Pack Pomegranate (P58)
Essential Mask Sheet Pack Green Tea (P58)

I like Korean stuffs, but still I can't forget to buy stuffs from other stores. :) So far, I'm liking elf because of the affordable quality products. But anyway, there's no elf product in this photo because I'm lazy on getting them. Hehehe.

Ever Bilena Dip Liner (P150)
Sophie J'adore Lipstick in Summer Pink (P79)
Ever Bilena Grip Germany Premium Eyelash Curler (P150)
Nichido Girls' Night Out Eye Pencil 04 Nice Gal (P80)
Gatsby Oil Clear Sheet (P119)
Maybelline Clear Smooth Foundation in Honey (P249)

As you can see, I'm quite a late bloomer when it comes to these things. And for the meantime, I'm completing my starter kit. LOL. If you have something that you can recommend, please tell me. I'd be happy to try them. :)

By the way, I really have an oily skin. :)
