Some random rambling about Clinique, YSL and more
Today I looked forward to reviewing some Brazil Nut products from The Body Shop, but for some reason (and that reason was my stepdad needing water for his silly coffee) my relaxed shower became an ice cold nightmare. So unfortunately the shower gel, scrub and body butter will have to wait a little longer, I'll just have to bore you with some talk about me & shopping in stead :PEveryone was free today, so we decided to spend the day together and do something fun. Most of the time that means shopping in our dictionary because it's me, my sister and our mum against my stepdad. (Which is why I didn't throw anything at his head this morning for ruining my shower, he has a hard life with 3 dominate ladies in the house) :p At some point we decided to take a peek at the new MAC counter that opened in one of the stores, but who did I meet there? Yes, a Clinique lady. If you read my post about my experiences with Clinique so far, you can probably guess I needed to get something off of my chest. And surprisingly, she was actually very nice. (Even though she kept repeating t
hat they test each product on 7200 people and that my skin was very very white). She said that even though I used the mild version, my skin was so sensitive it couldn't even handle that kind of product. She couldn't really tell me more at that point, but she did suggest that I'd come back and do a skin test so she could figure out what I can and can't handle. Hopefully I'll find the opportunity to do so in the future, the lady was very friendly and honest about the products and I liked that a lot.In another store I came across a lipstick I absolutely adore, well I've only seen them online so I was happy I could finally swatch them now! (Wish I could have made pictures too, but there was a very grumpy make-up lady keeping an eye on me). I tested the Rouge Volupté silky sensual radiant lipstick SPF 15 in different shades (I believe the names were peach passion and nude beige) and really loved them! This lipstick is so creamy and pigmented, with the right amount of gloss to make your lips look fabulous. I wish I could afford myself one, the packaging is also so nice and luxurious looking :) Here you can see a couple of swatches someone else made in case you're interested, maybe one day I can show you my own!

Lisa: Yeah, I'd feel bad about spending so much on a single lipstick, but they're so gorgeous! And I'm going to enter her giveaway soon, I have my eyes on those cute headbands ;)
Erika Michel: I'm jealous! My student budget doesn't really allow me to buy expensive make up :P I can't wait till I get a nice job with a big paycheck ;)

Beautiful lipstick. Have a great weekend!
Shucks, sorry about the cold shower. No, it's a good thing you didn't throw anything at your stepdad. :)
I've read many good things about the YSL lippies. Never tried them, never swatched them - because of those grumpy snooty makeup ladies! ;D
