Red and Nude

I finished reading Sophie Kinsella's latest "Mini Shopaholic" and was inspired by Becky's resolve to wear her outfits at least twice before she bought another one; so much so, that I, Ms. Cake, will not buy any new lipsticks before at least wearing them in at least 2 FOTDs in 2011. Oops, I totally forgot that already purchased MAC Rebel, and Mehr from MAC Mickey Contractor.  So those 2 would be included in my 2011 lipstick resolution.

So help me God...

I actually have started taking my nude lipsticks for a little spin on my lips.  Today, I wore Revlon Matte lipstick #003 Mauve it Over, a really great to-go lipstick when you didn't want to bother with your look.  I lined my whole lips first with the Body Shop lip liner #02, a muddy coral, as a base, then swiped Mauve it Over, then topped the lipstick with MAC Fleshpot lipglass.  And the result was FABOOOSHHHH! I chucked Fleshpot as one of the lipglass I thought would never work on me (too pale!) but I would never let go (Heatherette collection!). I owned it for 2 years already and I probably wore it twice tops!

So, here it goes! I did similar face 2 days in a row:  Maybelline BB cream and MUFE F&B #4, local powder, MAC Moon Reflection mineralized e/s; Oriflame Copper shadow stick (disc.), Milani Java Bean, MUFE e/s, Feline black kohl, Raani kajaal, MAC Bite of an Apple blush (Venomous Villain collection) and MAC MSF Light Flush.

Hah!  Excuse the grainny pictures.  I haven't been able to pick up my camera and too lazy to use search for my old one so I resorted to my BB; which according to the latest hoohaw would be useless in a couple of months.

I'm still in two minds about my under eyes, though.  Should I do something about them?  Use a concealer perhaps?

Hold Your Horses - Dupe List

If you're planning to purchase Make Up For Ever Rouge Artist Intense lipstick #45 or Moulin Rouge, then take a moment to read this post as I had an amazing revelation.  Now, quick! See my picture above, and choose which one is Moulin Rouge or MUFE #45.  Clueless?  One of the top 3 is Moulin Rouge, while the other is NYX round lipstick Chaos and MUFE #45. 

Give up?

Based on swatch above, I came to believe that NYX Chaos, MUFE #45 and MUFE Moulin Rouge are triplets albeit separated at birth.  MUFE #45 and Moulin Rouge were adopted by the rich uncles, while NYX Chaos was raised by a less fortunate relative.  The MUFE artist that I talked to last night even insisted that I wore Moulin Rouge (I had Chaos on) when I stopped by at the counter to do some swatching. Undoubtedly #45 is pinker but all three have similar undertone and lasted as long (at least on my hand).  Chaos glides better on the lips (more moisturizer, perhaps?) while the MUFE ones drag a bit on the lips. 

There you have it.  3 almost identical lipsticks, one is Rp 60.000 while the others are Rp. 235.000.  You're welcome.

Swatches from top-bottom: MUFE Moulin Rouge, NYX Chaos (l), MUFE #45 (r), MUFE #44
