I asked for these holiday lipglosses (on sale) from Sam, my UK blogger friend and swap buddy, after seeing them in her post. I sent her the little Nail Inc. giftcard and some sheet masks for return. I'm happy to see some leopard-print Nail Rock nail wraps as well as false nails with leopard-printed designs! Sam does know me very well!
Also, my friend/sweetheart Ms. A lent me a few bottles of Deborah Lippmann nail polish (no swatches yet), while at the same time gifted me a tube of Burberry lipstick tester. Happy!!!!!!
我在英國的友人寄了愛心包裹給我：裡面有兩 No7/Poppy King 唇彩（下面有試色）跟一些豹紋的指甲貼／假甲。另外，香港的愛人 A 小姐除了送我一條 Burberry 的唇膏，又借我幾瓶 Deborah Lippmann 的夢幻逸品。。。感激！ :")
(Excuse my facial hair above my lips... don't you laught at that!!)
The above pics are taken with my desk-light and no flash, the more purply shade shown in the bottom right is one of my current favs now. juicy and adds life to my face! Technically the 2 lipglosses are called "Deep Wine" and "Plum" respectively, but I have no idea which is which even after researching on and offline. Nevermind.
首圖的兩唇彩一條是很透的磚紅色，一條是挺顯色的紫紅。它們的質地都挺滋潤，沒有怪味。不錯～紫紅那條已經被納入＂愛用品＂！！

左邊那條是愛人送的 Lip Mist No.03 Brown Sugar（櫃台試用裝）；特意拿來右邊，我在韓國買雜誌送的小樣品 Lip Cover No.04 Rosewood。顧名思義，前者比較透亮，後者比較顯色。透亮的啡糖在我唇上還好，是氣質色；絹面／satin finish 的花梨木卻好像比較老氣。。。可惜可惜！ 下面有收背試色。
Ms. A gifted me the counter/store sample of Burberry Lip Mist No.03 Brown Sugar, which has a sheer glossy finish. I dug out the small deluxe sample I obtained in Korea a while back, which is the Lip Cover No.04 Rosewood, for comparison purpose. It is more pigmented and gives a weird (in my opinion) satin finish.
Turned out, the Brown Sugar looks 'elegant' on me, and the 'Rosewood' ages me a good few years. :'( If you have any idea how to make this colour works for me, please advise!

Cheers :D
I've got Brown Sugar too and absolutely love it! I think it's the perfect neutral.
ReplyDeleteI think it makes me a little more sophisticated and lady-like than I am. but that's a good thing too, right? :P
DeleteBurberry gave you a sample?
ReplyDeletePS the leopard print had the cross on them so I had to give them away =S AND yes I know you well =D
Glad you liked it. Want to see your review on the lipglosses
Well, the big sample is a tester that my friend gave me (because she has a relative who worked at a Burberry counter). The small one is a magazine freebie!
DeleteI see! so that's why you gave the false nails to me! (still need to figure out how to wear them)
Hehe, may do a review on the lipglosses :P
Hi Luv, I've given you The Versatile Blogger award xx
