Chanel Rouge CoCo 434 Mademoiselle, MAC Mehr, Charlotte Tilbury Bond Girl

Last week I talked about the dusty rose lipliner, now it's time to talk about similar lipsticks.

上周写了旧玫瑰色唇线笔，这次就来说说同色系的唇膏吧。

As you can see from the photos, they are extremely similar. Chanel new Rouge coco's formula is amazing, moisturising, opaque and long lasting. If I don't eat or drink much, I can get at least 4 hours' wear. It conceals any dry patches on your lips, and can instantly relief the uncomfortable dry feeling. 434 Mademoiselle is a light browny rose shade with a hint of shimmer, however the shimmer is so fine that doesn't show at all, the texture is very creamy and goes on like a dream, doesn't drag the lip at all, it leaves a very beautiful sheen on lips. It is my recent favourite!

MAC Mehr is a blue toned dusty pink, matte finish, it lasts much longer than Chanel, but also much more drying, and it will highlight any dry patches on your lips. I don't reach for this one very often. 

Charlotte Tilbury Bond Girl is a muted browny berry pink, appears more brown than the other 2, creamy texture, matte finish with a hint of luminous shine through. This one was my absolute winter favourite. 

从图片就能看出这三支唇膏就像是三胞胎姐妹，傻傻分不清楚。Chanel新的Rouge coco系列质地甩老款几十条街了，滋润，显色还持久。比shine系列持久多了，如果我不怎么吃喝的话，能轻轻松松持4小时。嘴唇爱起干皮的，干的紧绷绷的妹纸也完全没有压力，神奇般的能隐形并舒缓唇部状况，还有什么原因不爱它呢？

434 法语翻译过来：小姐，年轻女郎的意思，玫瑰粉色中带一点棕色基调,膏体中能看到亮晶晶的闪粉，但是上唇后完全看不到也感觉不到亮片，质地很润很好涂抹，完全不拉扯唇部肌肤，来回一遍能轻松遮盖唇色，泛出柔和的光泽感，最近的最爱！

MAC Mehr 是冷调的旧玫瑰色，哑光质地，比Chanel持久，但是相对的也就干很多，如果唇部状况不完美的还是尽量避免，凸显任何小瑕疵。美则美矣，但是就是太干！

Charlotte tilbury Bond Girl 颜色蛮难形容的，偏棕色的姨妈色，浆果色和棕色最好的完美平衡，气场强大，小年轻不太能撑住，大多肤色都适合，秋冬最爱，没有之一！

Dupe Alert: MAC SOAR vs BURBERRY SEPIA

I'm not a lipliner fan, I always think they are too dry, my first lipliner is Burberry No.03 SEPIA, and now MAC SOAR. 

I was never a big MAC fan, as I find their lipsticks are too dry, but this time, they really rocked my world, MAC lipliner is way creamier than BURBERRY's. It truly glides on effortlessly, and doesn't dry out my lips throughout the day, I'm in love with this formula!!

They both look extremely similar, with or without swatch. However, SEPIA has a slight shimmer in it, whereas SOAR is completely matte. SEPIA is a true dusty rose shade with a bit of shimmer, suits all skin tones. SOAR is more of a browny dusty rose shade, suits light-medium, or medium-dark skin tones best! 


我本身并非是个唇线笔的迷，一想到唇线笔我就觉得嘴巴发干，第一支入手的是BURBERRY的03号SEPIA, 然后是上个月刚入手的MAC SOAR。

我从来就不是MAC家的粉丝，对她家的印象就是干到裂嘴的唇膏质地， 但是这次着实是让我狠狠的震惊了一下，唇线笔的质地简直就是奶油质地好嘛！甩BURBERRY几条街了！超级好上色，顺滑的简直了！立马一见钟情的爱上了这个质地！

两支颜色都是极其相似的，不管是就这么看看，还是手臂试色。但是，SEPIA涂出来是含有亮片的，但是抿嘴啊啥的完全感觉不到亮片的存在，也看不太出。SOAR就是老老实实的哑光质地。SEPIA是真正的暗玫瑰色，多一分少一分都不行，不挑肤色，不挑年龄，很显气质。 SOAR比前者要偏暗，更成熟老练一些，肤色白皙的反倒不适合，适合中等肤色（如我），绝对的抚媚成熟，小年轻也不适合，否则反而显得老气没精神。

April Beauty Favourites 四月美妆爱用品

April is the month I started getting into the spring/summer mood, the nice warm weather at the beginning of April certainly helped set the tone. I'm really excited about this month's favourites, not only that I found a few budget friendly products that I absolutely love, but also I discovered some from my old stash and an exciting lip combo. 

四月是我开年至今第一次开始感受到春夏的气息，当然啦，四月初长达2周的“高温”肯定帮了大忙。本月的美妆爱用品样样都让我兴奋，不光发现了一些新的开架好物，还挖掘出了一些旧爱，混搭出了新的唇膏颜色。

• So here we have:

•  SUQQU eyeshadow palette 01, it's been my go to palette for over 2 months, so easy to blend and amazingly soft almost bouncy powder makes me addicted. 

• Soap&Glory archery 2 in 1 brow pencil in dark chocolate, this is actually my second one, hands down the best and it's affordable. 

• Rimmel Rita Ora nail polish in GO WILDER NESS. I love the formula, rather watery, 1 coat give you a sheer wash of colour, but 2 coat is all you need, great colour pay off, fast drier, long lasting(so far 4 days without chipping at all)

• Nailtiques Formula 2 nail treatment, I love nail polishes, but we all know applying nail polish non stop will dry out your nails, make them really fragile. I've been on the hunt for the best nail treatment for a long time now, finally 100% happy with this one, it really is worth the extra few quid. I'll do a nail care routine next week. 

• BECCA beach tint in Strawberry. I'm sure everyone loves this. Apply on cheeks for a wash of colour, dab on lips for a tint of matte colour, gives the most subtle colour,  the water resistant formula is perfect choice for a hot sweaty long day or beach holiday.

• YSL lipstick in 01 and 207. See swatches down below, both are beautiful, but I discovered when you apply 207 first and then dab 01 lightly on top or centre lips, give it a smudge,  it becomes something magnificent, it's the perfect balance between red and pink and mauve. It's my perfect spring colour. 

swatches from top to bottom: YSL 207, YSL 01, Becca in strawberry. 

• SUQQU三色眼影盘01，最近两个多月每次画眼影就会不由自主的抓这盘，虽然只是棕色盘，但是SQ软糯的粉质极易晕染，已经上瘾了，这个坑跳的好，再见了！:(
• S&G的极细眉笔，已经第二只了，它是同价位乃至2倍价位里，举双手双脚最好用的，只有两个色号，但是深色对于亚洲人来说是绝配，极细的笔芯能画出超自然的眉毛！
• Rimemel和歌手Rita Ora合作的甲油系列，这个颜色是我的最爱，甲油质地偏水，刷一层是透明的，两层刚刚好，持久力也不错，4天做家务也没有斑驳脱落的痕迹。
• Nailtiques的2号配方护甲油，人人都爱五颜六色的甲油，但是涂久了，再高端的甲油都能让指甲变的干燥脆弱，我一直在寻找效果好又快的护甲产品，试过3个品牌，目前只有这款才是100%的满意，再糟糕的指甲连续两次就回血了，这款是必须有，下周我会发一篇我自己的美甲过程，需要的可以回来看看。
•  Becca的唇颊两用，色号strawberry, 夏天肯定要有一只防水的唇颊两用，becca目前是我用过的真正两用的，不管是脸颊还是嘴唇都能做到持久又不干燥。去海边或者闷热的夏天，这货一定是必备品！
• YSL唇膏01和207，试色请见上图，两个色都蛮美的，尤其是207暗玫瑰色，某一天我突然发现把207打底，再轻轻把01涂在嘴唇内侧，抿一抿，出来的颜色美呆啦！绝对的暖春色！

 I have put some pictures of me wearing all the products I mentioned in this post down below, I tried to use different lighting so you can get a better idea, hope it's helpful. Photos may seem a bit blurry, as I only used iPhone. no filters. 
想看所有产品的效果图，可以拉到本遍结尾，我尽最大努力的拍了几张不同光线的参考图。 图片可能有些模糊，图片产自iPhone,请见谅。曝光有些过度，下午阳光太好。
