Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain

These are new from Revlon. There are 10 colors as far as what I have seen. I have 3 of them, 015 Cherish, 035 Charm and 040 Rendezvous. 

015 Cherish, 035 Charm, 040 Rendezvous

 015 Cherish: pretty neutral soft pink leans toward cool tone but still looks good on warm skin tone
 035 Charm: Peachy nude leans to be more peach than nude
 040 Rendezvous: Orange with slight hint of red



040 Rendezvous  035 Charm and 015 Cherish



040 Rendezvous  035 Charm and 015 Cherish

 I compared these with Revlon Lip Butter just because I am curious to know. I don't expect them to perform the same since one is lip butter and one is lip stain but the texture and color seems to be comparable just for fun.

Top: Tutti Fruitti, peach parfait, Cotton Candy
Bottom: Rendezvous, Charm, Cherish

  • Rendezvous with Tutti Fruitti: very close, yet, Tutti Fruitti is slightly tiny bit more orange (can't even tell in the picture).
  • Charm with Peach parfait: totally different. Peach Parfait is peachy pink with gold shimmer. Charm is peachy nude.I think it might be closer to Creamsicle which I don't have so I can't tell. But so far, Charm is a really pretty color. It's soft wearable peach.
  • Cherish with Cotton candy: quite close. Cotton candy is pink with gold shimmer so this make it be a little warmer but very very close base color.
They are lip balm that will stain your lip. They are moisturizing and long lasting. They are minty scented. They are pigmented enough but can also built up the color easily. Moreover they are retractable: no need to be sharpen, same concept as Clinique chubby sticks and Tart Lipsurgence. Yet, these are $6-9 each.

In summary, I love these. They are worth the price. All the color are so pretty. My favorite color is Charm (so far). I definitely recommend these.

CoverGirl Lip Perfection


This is my first time trying CoverGirl lipsticks. Due to a lot of hypes from many reviews, I couldn't resist to try. I picked up Fairytale and Delish.
Fairytale is a vibrant coral color which leans toward pinky red coral. I am not a big fan of red lip because I can't seem to pull it out with my yellow undertone. But Fairytale is not deep real red but it is a pinky coral red that brighten up my face.
Delish is a brown nude color that does not make my face look dead. I didn't really find it interesting color when I picked it up but it is one of the color that everyone talks about, I had to try. Once I put it on my lip, it is one of my favorite color. It's just perfect.
The formula is extremely moisturizing. It glides on smoothly. It has some kind of vanilla scent to it. There are about 44 shades of color to choose from. I can't wait to go get some more colors. So far, I love it!

Tonkatsu Sandwich



I was super excited to have Tonkatsu sandwich at one of the new Japanese restaurant I just discover. I had Tonkatsu before but not in the form of sandwich. It was delicious.
So of course, I have to come home and try to make it myself. It is super easy and delicious. All you need are:

  • Sandwich bread (buttered and toasted)
  • Mayo
  • Bulldog sauce (tonkatsu sauce)
  • Cabbage (thinly slice)
  • Pork cutlet (use tenderized pork chop or any of your favorite, seasoned with salt and pepper then covered with flour, beaten egg, panko and then deep fried until golden brown)


Curry Pan


CURRY PAN (Curry Bread)



 Curry Pan is one of my favorite when I go to a Japanese bakery shop. But I never tried to make it myself until today. All the ingredients are what I have on hand and some leftover. All you need are:

Urban Decay NAKED2

Here it comes, NAKED2

I love love love Urban Decay Naked. It is such a pretty palette. Now the Naked2 just came out a week ago. I went online the fist day it came out and bought it. 
I knew I am going to love it. 

The delivery was super fast. I got it not even a week after ordering. I am impressed with UD even though the palette package is kinda beaten up. If you look closely it got a little dense on the box.  And it got some scratch on it too. I would love it to be in a perfect condition for this $50 palette but oh well,. I won't let it bother me since I love it so much.
There are a lot of comparisons between this one and the first one. To be honest, I don't really care much about it. They both are pretty. They both are neutral. I know I might need both of them considering how close they are. But as long as they are not exactly the same, it is ok to get both, isn't it? ^_^


The Begining


My birthday has just passed for a week ago. So I think it is ok to start off this blog with a picture of my birthday cake as the beginning of new year and new things in life. 
Talking about cake, I can't tell you enough how much I love it. Even though it is store bought but it is so good. This is Italian Cream cake. There is some coconut and pecan with wonderful cream cheese frosting...umm, yumm.
