BEAUTY | CURRENT FAVOURITE LIPPIES

If you know me, you know I'm a sucker for lip products! I love trying out new products though at the end of the day, I always come back to my favourites. I rarely have dry lips because I always put on lip balm before bed and after showering, but to maintain that throughout the day, I opted for a non-drying formula. I am always looking for moisturising lip products. Chapped lips are not cute!

Here are my current favourite lip products! 

From top to bottom

Dior Addict Refillable Shine Lipstick - #422 rose des vents

This product never claimed to be a moisturising one, but it works amazingly on my lips. The shine is perfect, the colour is so subtle and I love the packaging. This shade is perfect for the ultimate no-makeup makeup look, when you don't want to look like you have makeup on. 

Ps: my husband got this for me - girls love it when their men know girls' favourite makeup!

Twentywendy Glasting Star Water Tint - #dschubba 

I love this peachy, brownish-red gloss that is perfect when you want something more pop on your lips. I don't usually choose a peachy colour, but this one is an exception. So pretty, juicy but not too much. 

Twentywendy So Matte Soulmate Lipstick - #ruk

As matte products usually tend to dry your lips, this one, however, does not. It glides so effortlessly and smoothly. This shade especially, is my #1 favourite colour for lipstick. It makes my face look glowing and fresh and compliments my skin tone. It stays pretty long-lasting too! 

Cleya Tinted Lip Serum - #courage

I was looking for a good tinted lip balm and found this one on the online site. It turned out amazing! It's everything I'm looking for in a tinted lip balm, the colour is not too bold, moisturising, and always leaves my lips so soft. The only thing I don't like about this product, is probably the packaging or maybe I just got a badly manufactured one, sometimes it got messy. The product gets to the tube and cap. 

Dior Rouge Lipstick - #772 classic rosewood

This is the most recent lipstick I got and I like it so much! The colour is so perfect for a sunny day in Bali, it's fresh and cute. I'd say this is the lipstick that Barbie would wear if she lived on a tropical island! The formula is good, but I found it a little bit heavier than my other lipstick. 

What's your current favourite lip product?

BOOK | RECENTLY READ

It has been too long since I posted a book review, the last one was back in September 2023. Oops! Anyway, I've read quite a lot for the past few months - I've been actively reading since January and oh boy, I did more than just a few books! 
I won't be writing in-depth reviews about each book, just a brief review. 
One True Loves - Taylor Jenkins Reid
So, I read this one 'cause The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. I was like, OK I need to read every book this author wrote! So I started with this one because people said it was 'calmer' than The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. Well, I like it but I don't love this. It was promising at the beginning but then as the story went by, it got a bit boring and predictable. Still going to read Reid's other books though!
3/5 stars
The Inheritance Games - Jennifer Lynn Barnes 
Wow, what a ride! I love everything about this book - the characters' introductions, the premise, the plot twists, even the cliffhanger!! I immediately read the second book once I finished this one. SO. GOOD!
5/5 stars
The Hawthorne Legacy - Jennifer Lynn Barnes
OK still good! The story pace is faster than the first book but I wished some parts were longer. In some parts, they felt rushed. In the middle of the book, it was a little boring but it got better. I liked the ending of this book though!
4/5 stars 
The Love Hypothesis - Ali Hazelwood 
It's a cute book. That's all I can say. It's an easy read - a book you want to read when you're at the pool or the beach. It's predictable, but so nice. 
3.5/5 stars 
The Reappearance of Rachel Price - Holly Jackson 
WOW. I love this book so much! It's amazing! The tension is built up so well. One of the books that got you thinking and making theories inside your head as you keep reading. I couldn't put this book down - finished this book in less than 20 hours. 
5/5 stars
The Things You Can Only See When You Slow Down: How to Be Calm in a Busy World - Haemin Sunim 
I took a break from fiction and decided to pick up this book. I started reading this book on the plane - my flight was 1.5 hours and by the time the captain announced it was landing time, I'd finished more than half of this book. I simply couldn't stop. Even though some parts are a tough lesson to learn, the author wrote it in a simple, calming way that makes you not want to stop. A beautiful work!
5/5 stars
8 Rules of Love: How to Find It, Keep It, and Let It Go - Jay Shetty
This is the first Shetty's book I read and I love it so much! So thorough that I felt like reading a textbook about love, life and every aspect that comes with them. Instead of reading for fun, I was reading to study. And let me tell you, I study hard with this book. I enjoyed it so much, so beautifully written!
5/5 stars
I am currently reading two fiction books and one self-help book. God know when I'm going to write the review again, hopefully, in less than 10 months ;)
Anyway, what's your current read book? Let me know! Xx
