Nude Lips: MAC Lipstick in Spirit

My last sight upon nude lipstick was on Bobbi Brown's. Just normal MLBB and for less than a week I got bored, leaving it at home then rekindle with my go-to & HG: Stila Convertible Lip & Cheek Stain in Poppy. But but but.....
Last week I bumped into a very nice shade of MAC lipstick collection that hadn't been on my radar for that looong time.
Here comes the new superstar: MAC Lipstick in Spirit

Pardon my pimples and scars, just look at the nude shade... Very pretty and versatile though somehow I managed to meet people who said that it was too pale. Well, if you combine it with swipes of blush and radiant eye makeup, it will perfect the rest.

Thoughts upon it:
1. It's matte and stays for 4-5 hours, thru every cups you got.
2. Affordable. Yes?! Among all sick-omagad expensive high end lipstick, this is worth it.
3. Rare items.
4. Try on your lips before getting one since the shade is quite tricky.
5. A good pick for completing your sexy smokey eyes, natural brown eye makeup, or paired witj heavy falsies.

What's your fave nude lipstick?

On My Second Tube : Nivea Sun Whitening Face Cream SPF 50

Just being honest, I rarely do a second purchase unless the thing works really good on me. This is my daily support for a flawless, fair skin.

I started using sunscreen regularly since I went to college, the humidity and the exposure of the sun were quite rough so I needed to protect my skin. I always prefer a standalone sunscreen to the one in BB or CC cream, just a personal preference though.

After trying several face suncreen previously, you name it, Banana Boat, SkinAqua, etc... I think this one is my fave. Let's see why:

1. Its reasonable price. Just being realistic, sunscreen should be applied everyday, and after some watery or sweaty activities, you have to re-apply. I don't think I wanna spend much on this too matter fact it's EXTREMELY important for my skin. 

2. It has a powdery finish. Not sticky at all. Not greasy at all. I used to hate applying sunscreen because of its stickiness but this one offers nicer choice.

3. It DOES protect the skin. Sounds a bit riddiculous but as you know it, sometimes it just doesn't. So be careful when picking one.

Are those 3 reasons enough?

I gotta add one more. It blends nicely with any makeup. I never have to worry it will crumple or so with the makeup I will apply rightafter.

Here's the pic of its consistency, you just need a little amount for your whole face and neck. I usually apply this after washing my face and in midday.


Tell me, do you regularly put on sunscreen?
If you don't, well, you really need to.

Love,

Current Obsession : Kiss Me Heroine Mascara

Each time I use it and post the pic on my instagram, I always receive questions and some remarks towards this thing. I heard about this mascara since...years a go, I hardly can tell. If you check it out on some instagram make up shop, some offer you a chance to get one thru Pre Order (PO). There's something inconvinience about PO so I never gave it a try. Several weeks a go, this thing crossed my sight in Guardian Grand Indonesia... Finally, I got one. Kiss Me Heroine Mascara Volume and Curl. I picked this one rather than the Long and Curl one since my lashes is long but thin. There you go the results:




7 comments on this mascara:
1. Cheap packaging. It really looks cheap that you won't think that it costs you around $15.
2. One thing why it looks cheap because its packaging feels very light. And yes I love it because it doesn't weigh on the makeup pouch.
3. Waterproof, smudgeproof, sweatproof. It will stay that way until you decide to put it off.
4. Good consistency! Won't crumple on your lashes. Feels so sheer but so matte.
5. Cheap for this quality... YES! Compared to another high end mascara that manages to get you broke. ;)
6. It's my HG mascara rite now.
7. I'm so gonna repurchase.


Kinda eyeing on Kiss Me Heroine eyeliner, my beloved friend @nadyanasiswanto (check her ig!) promise me to get one soon. I'll share to you all the experiences after trying it on.

*All stuffs here belong to me, all comments and thoughts are also mine.*

What's you HG mascara? Share and tell :)

Yeay.. Back to Blogging!

It's been 2 years and I was thinking of deleting my blog...simply because I am thinking of starting again BUT somehow I changed my mind and I think I'm gonna post things also share my thoughts here again. So how are you?
As life evolves, makeup does evolving, too. Preferences change, skin condition changes.. Everything's changing!




P.S. that's me after trying Kiss Me Heroine Mascara

So let's start ranting and talking about things we love again. Do not forget to check out my instagram: @ferindalestari for some beauty updates plus quick Q&A.
