Drugstore wants!

Tutti Frutti which I don't find in Singapore! The unfairness of it all >_<

Revlon Lip Butters have tons of raves online! I first saw it on frmheadtotoe and she had a couple of different shades. I bought 2 based on her reviews. Peach Parfait looked really pretty swatched but on my lips, it didn't stand out *disappointed :(* 

I guess it's because my lips are too dark/pigmented hence it was a fail. Perhaps a lip concealer would help? 

Anyway, when I first decided I wanted the Peach Parfait, it was SO HARD to find one! I went to Watson's and every other shade was there but I just didn't see the PP shade. I went to all the displays and found ONE hidden amidst other shades. Seriously! It was truly the last one in that outlet. Did every one fall for the swatches and decide PP was the HG shade? I know I said it before but it disappointed. 

See how pretty it looks!

The lovely Emma Stone wearing Peach Parfait. Looks good on her, doesn't it?

The other was much better. Cherry Tart is a red which I wouldn't normally choose because red, being a bold color and all... BUT because it's a lip butter and it's sheer, it gives a nice red without being over the top. Bold enough to make a statement but acceptable :) 

My go-to lip color for bold lips!

Anyway, the one I want to get is Tutti Frutti, which is an orange. Pantone named tangerine the color of the year for 2012 and tangerine lips were sighted on the S/S12 runways! I always wanted an orange shade because it's different but didn't really know how it would look on me. This one looks wearable since it would be sheered out. 

Well, I did attempt to buy supposedly orange shades previously but they didn't turn out the way I expected them to -disappointed- I have high hopes for this! Can only get it from drugstore.com though since I don't see it at Watson's. For some reason, only 8 out of the 20 shades made their way to Singapore :( 

Bummer!!

The next item is also from Revlon. For some reason, I associate Revlon with quality makeup. Quality amongst all the drugstore brands. In my teens, I'd skip Revlon because it looks kinda mature and it was also pricier. I liked Maybelline then. Just seemed more fun!

I'm actually not too sure what shade to get. I read reviews and while some were positive, some didn't think these stains were that great. Apparently, the 'nudes' went on darker than they look. I think the colors all have a bolder finish. Personally, I don't think that's a problem. I actually prefer lip shades that are visible! 

Compared to the prices in Singapore, I prefer getting any makeup thingy off Drugstore. Of course, there is that pesky waiting time which can take up to weeks. Also, if you haven't swatched it in-store, you wouldn't know what shade to get. 

Whenever I intend to spree, I'll do my research - read reviews, get swatches etc, so I don't end up with something I can't use. 

Item 3 is also from Revlon! I'm not certain I want to get it because I do intend to let my skin breathe a little easier haha. If my skin is all better, I don't want to put on foundation! Makes sense right? 

ColorStay Foundation

The shade is also pretty hard to determine. We only have 5 shades to choose from. I swatched Nude on my hand and it was a perfect match! However, I think my face is darker than my hand or is it the other way around? So yeah, the next shade is very much darker than Nude. It would probably not match. If I buy it from Drugstore, I can't tell if I should be getting 1 shade or 2 shades darker than the Nude. 

FYI, Drugstore price is half of what we have to pay at Watson's. Urghh!!

That's about it!
