So lately, I've been obsessing over pink lippies. There have been a plethora of Youtube gurus [mainly fafinettex3] showcasing adorable and inexpensive lipsticks in the sweet and doll-like pink hue.

Let's start off with NYX:
My faves are Thalia and Strawberry Milk

Now onto Rimmel :]
Airy Fairy and Pink Champagne


Ulta.com


And last would be Maybelline's new Color Sensational line:
in Pink Please

drugstore.com


All feels very nice and smooth on the lips. I know to some of you, they all look the same [even I think so too] but I just can't resist these lippies. Most of the time I just alternate them each day for school. All of them look UH-MAY-ZING with the smokey eye. The warmer light pinks looks good with the purple-pink-frost smokey, while the nude-ier pinks looks best with the grey-black-silver smokey. With my skin tone, it doesn't look too drastic even if I wear it by itself and just mascara on. And all of them are around $5 each or less, so it's very affordable. [The Maybelline one was around $7-8, depending where you buy them] Others also count them as dupes for higher end lipsticks like MAC and Nars. Overall I'm pretty much satisfied with the quality of the colors and their staying power, well, as long as you don't keep drinking lol.

*I didn't post my own lipsticks because they're already used and wouldn't look too pretty to post.

J9 where art thou?

SO i haven't blogged since january o___o;
sorry about that. being busy as a full time college student and all.

bow oh oh oh

This top is more on the casual side

This is the whole masculine look, I was talking about
*sighs* I love plaid =]

I'd pair this with grey leggings and red flatsThese are just adorable
OMG! lace and bows

Only Blair Waldorf can rock this LOL

lust for red.

I love red shoes.
Whether it's those oh-so-gorgeous, lovely, peep-toe pumps or those cute polka-dotted mary janes.
Even the red converse chucks give me *squeegasms* when I pass by them at the mall.
I've always wanted my own pair, but never get the chance to do so.
It adds a pop of color with any outfit, whether its with jeans and a blazer or any cute dress you can pair it with.
These babies would look so chic and stunning paired with your favorite "little black dress."
It's a little bit pin up but still very romantic.

Here are some I've been dying to buy

juicylicious?

So during the holiday season, my friend and I checked out the MAC store at Townsquare (Las Vegas). I came in looking for a good foundation-concealer combo when the MUA asked me, "Do you wear anything on your lips?" Here I was deciding whether or not she gave me the right shade of foundation, then suddenly asking me about my lips? So I replied "I'm only wearing lip balm right now." She gave me an incomprehensible look then walked toward the Lipglasses. She then put on this icy princess-pink shade on my lips and said, "Ah! If only I had your lips I'd rock lipsticks and lip glosses all the time!" I did not take this as a compliment thus, not thanking her in return in time to acknowledge whatever she meant by that.

After I got home, I then tried to look at my reflection and focus on my lips. (BTW, I did not purchase her recommended foundation since it did NOT match my shade at all) I guess they're "plump" enough, round and full enough to be considered "cute lips" but I was never a fan of lipstick since it always overwhelms my face. If I were to wear those ruby red lipsticks, I would look like a clown (in my opinion).

But then it got me thinking... I should at least put some color into them and not let them look so drab and dull. I mean, every time I put makeup on, I always leave my lips bare. Just lip balm and a clear shiny lipgloss and I'm good to go. So I finally made my decision to give lipsticks and tinted lip glosses a try. I looked around and found beautiful shades that I'm actually very interested in... and eventually started to "crave" them!

NYX round lipsticks look pretty basic but has a beautiful wide variety of colors =]

that's just 6 out of .. gosh like 50? shades to choose from.

They also have their Black Label lipsticks
and their Diamond Sparkle lipsticks

I happen to "crave" these lippies because somehow they remind me of MAC in a way, but of course the quality of MAC products are incomparable. These are good enough cheaper alternatives (from $3.50-$7).


And for lip glosses? I've got my eyes on these yummy Jelly Balms by L'Oreal's H.I.P. for quite a while now.

(I heard that they're good dupes for MAC's Tendertones, which are discontinued)

saturday hangout by J9xstarrr


This would be another outfit I'd coordinated using Polyvore.
That site is addicting, I love putting together an outfit.
I really love black&white and grey, but I added some color into this with my two faves: purple and red; two very "rich" colors.
I named this "Saturday Hangout" since its a casual and fun look, don't you agree?

So that's what I basically end up with playing around Polyvore.
Since Prom season is in about two months or so, I got an idea to coordinate three different styles for an outfit.
My favorite is actually the "grunge" one, though its more of an Avril "punk" to be honest xD
