Kylie Cosmetic's Metal Matte Liquid Lipstick

Sunday, 29 May 2016







Greetings starshines! 

I don't know about you guys but I have always been envious of those living in the US because they always get first dibs on all the latest beauty products. Like hello, did you know how long it took for Maybeline's Age Rewind Concealer to finally be available in Singapore?! TOO LONG I TELL YOU. 

(Side note: Colourpop should totally be available in Singapore like, pronto. Someone please look into it.)

Anyways, when I finally managed to get my hands on some of Kylie's lipkits, I just HAD to share!

These weren't the first liquid lipsticks that I owned and I must say that my love for them grows more and more every time I use them! 

I decided to get the metallic shades because I figured that there are many cheaper dupes for their matte and glosses series. And believe me when I say this: it was the best decision I've ever made! 

I absolutely love the colours! They're just extremely gorgeous and different from whatever I have!

The shades I bought were Heir, King K and Reign.

So here are my thoughts on them in a nutshell.
  • Easy application - I guess it applies to all liquid lipsticks and it makes sense because the brush on the applicator is pretty thin and you'll be able to reach the corner of your lips with so much ease. But it's not just that. These lippies glides on so mothereffin' smoothly, it's ridiculous!

  • Long lasting - The day I took those photos were the day I first got them and I didn't manage to wear them out till today. I was surprised how the colour stayed through the whole day - mind you, I even had buffalo wings!

  • The colour's not pigmented at first - I think the only reasonable explanation for this is that everyone has different natural lip colours and textures which may affect how the lip product can look at you (which also explains how some people can pull it off better than others pfft). But one thing I've noticed that the colour gets better and better throughout the day so you got to give it time.

  • It's super expensive - Not gonna lie, this is probably the last time I'll be getting anything from Kylie Cosmetics (until they ever decide to retail them here which I highly doubt so). Their lipkits are all amazing and I wish I had all of them but I recently discovered that there are some other brands that sells a similar shade at a much cheaper rate (Eg. Sephora, Stila). Besides, there are so many brands coming up with liquid lipsticks nowadays!

    Also, I would advice to refrain from dealing with resellers because although they may be honest about the authenticity, they may probably be selling them at a higher price for a profit! >:(
I think despite the negatives, I have absolutely no regrets purchasing them. Can't wait to wear them out again! 

Till next time lovelies Xx

Hi girls!
Ever always wondered how to dress up your hair and to make you look more feminine no matter how rugged your outfit looks? Two words babies: Floral headbands. 

Yes yes yes I am finally doing my first review/non sponsored advert! 


The owners of this cute instashop consists of a mother and her two daughters. How fun is it to be working with your mum and sister right?! Everything has a girly touch to it and the awesome thing is that the floral headbands matches everything! 

I bought two for myself and I am completely in love with them! It's just so easy and convenient and I usually take 2 minutes tops to put it on! 

I actually wore it out two days consecutively on one weekend!




One of these headbands that I bought was customized by meselv, heheh! If you know me well, I'm sure you'll know which is it ;) 




If you guessed the pink roses then you are right! 

Okay shameless selfies now! 





The owner who I worked with on how I would want my headband to look like was really pleasant and open minded. She actually sent me a gazillion photos of the flowers they have for their headbands and there was a variety to choose from! 

And good news ladies, they have just bought a new batch of flowers!






And I don't know about you guys but I am definitely impressed and intrigued by all the work they've done!






Not a fan of roses? Fret not!

Here are some FAQs which might be on your mind right now. 

Q: What is the price range of the headbands?
A: The price ranges from $5 onwards (might be limited but will be selling more $5 headbands in December). The usual price would be $10, $12 and $14. 

Q: How often to do you get your materials for your headbands?
A: We just started over a month ago and so far we purchased our materials once every two weeks due to overwhelming response :) 

Q: The headband I want is out of stock. Are you able to remake it?
A: If a headband is OOS, we will try our best to customize a similar piece or discuss an alternative design with our customer as we have a range of different flowers, colours and sizes to choose from! 

Q: Do you make headbands for events?
A: Yes we do take orders for events. We have so far had 2 customized orders for bridesmaids. We also take orders for parties, graduations, weddings, DnDs and any other events. We will try our best to meet with your expectations :)
