KISS ME QUICK

SHOCK. HORROR.

Guess who's back to update?! 

I have been on the hunt for the perfect red lipstick for some time now. However, I always find myself standing at the drugstore counters in a state of confusion after trying on less than three shades. Why? I always encounter these problems:

1. How do I pick the right shade for my skin tone?

2. What lipstick finish is best?

3. Do I need lip liner? If so, should that be a darker shade to the chosen red lippy?

I have NEVER owned a red lipstick in the 27 years of my life... until now. Say hello to the new additions of my lipstick family:

My favourite lipsticks right now are MAC Ruby Woo and Russian Red. Honestly, they are both gorgeous and have a really nice cool tone which compliments most Asian skin! Both are a matt finish but it's really down to personal preference with the type of finish to buy (but matt will stay on longer than a glossy finish lippy). I bought Media for a Halloween look so for me it's not a colour I would wear everyday but it is a beautiful dark purple/red.

Very similar although Ruby Woo is slightly lighter than Russian Red.

 I also splashed out on lip liners too:

Kiss Me Quick is my favourite and goes well with the two red lipsticks. Burgundy as you can tell compliments Media to give a define outline.

As for the lip shape? Unfortunately you just have to practice! I find it handy to use mirrors in different angles - sometimes it can look perfect from straight on but slightly unflattering from the side.

Playing around with lipstick after work 

Lately I've been thinking of really putting effort into making better videos, I mean to REALLY try. Buy fluorescent light, HD camcorder, reflector...the lot! First of all I need to practice my make-up skills and secondly I need to save up!! I also want to set up another site under a different username, I'm not feeling 'Kuroxdoll'...never have done. 'XDOLL' was already taken so I added kuro, means black in Japanese, hence the black font for kuro in my header. See, I'm clever like that. 

Also, alot of people mispronounce it as ku-rox-doll which irritates the hell out of me - it's 'ex-doll'!!! Which sounds just as stupid but that's how you pronounce it!

Anyway, that's all for now. 

XOXO
