Just a segue post. I’m currently hooked on it. It smells so delicious that I really wanna take a chunk out of this dome-shaped lippie. Read more about it here.

Luxurious Agent Provocateur Titillation Balms.

I snagged this Agent Provocateur beauty treat months ago, and I couldn’t get enough raving for its lip balm.

Agent Provocateur, like La Perla, is very famous for its posh line of lingeries. So posh, that a set will cost you a leg! Aside from their sultry line of intimate apparel comes a sensuous line of bath & body and beauty products. One of which that captivates me is the Agent Provocateur Titillation Set which composed of a lip balm and, ugh, a nipple balm.

Well yeah, I suppose you’re now thinking the likes of Marilyn Monroe or Dita Von Teese by the sound of it.

Though this costs a little over a thousand pesos, it didn’t stop me from snagging a cheap deal on eBay. This originally costs more than 50 bucks, but I only spent half of it (IMO). I’m so engrossed at its uber-posh packaging, complete with a cutesy mirror built in it (lid). The lip balm is one of my favorites, next to Kiehl’s. It’s one of the yummiest lippie ever! It has this aromatic, refreshing scent (like that of cherries) and leaves a cool minty feel when applied. Unfortunately, I haven’t tried the nipple balm yet because I think it has no great use for me (LOL) and I don’t really kinda need it, y’know.

Anyways, I got this featured in Vanity Vibe, so feel free to check the post for more insights about this product.

MAC’s Must-have Collections

Obviously, I’m such a MAC Cosmetics addict that I only post MAC here. Geez, I’ve been thinking of hogging all these collections lately, if only sky is the limit for me. But then, I’m planning to get a thing or two on these lovely collections.

Slimshine Collection – features MAC’s newest slimshine lipstick. This creamy lipstick gives a dewy, lustering effect on the lips. I don’t have to wear lipglass after! I already got myself one in Gaily. Sad to say, I should’ve snagged Scant, but it’s already out of stock! I so love its creamy, moisturizing and stick-free consistency. This is great for those non-lipstick fanatics like me who yearns for a lipstick sans the “lipstick feel.”

Looking forward to get: Bare, Pleasing or Funshine.

Moonbathe Collection – Too bad Summer’s over here in my country. But, what the heck? I’m still drooling over this current collection by MAC. I’ve heard that the packaging’s so superb! Plus, the eyeshadow colors are so to die for! I swear I’ll be getting something on this collection, may it be a lipstick, lipglass, blush or an eyeshadow. Geez, this prods me to learn how to apply eye color…

Looking forward to get:
Blushes – Another wordly or Afterdusk
Lipstick – Honey moon or Solar plum
~~Lipglass – Moonbathe?~~
Eyeshadows – Cosmic, Saturnal, Cranberry, Claire de lune or Firespot (I should’ve said ALL!) =P

The Pink Lip Tube: Apivita Propoline Lip Aid with Rose & Olive Oil

roanne — Sat, 14 Apr 2007 09:05:20 +0000

Last Thursday, I got ahold of this yummy-licious pink tube for FREE when I bought Apivita Propoline Multivitamin Shampoo in Rustan’s. I was madly in love with the color, and yes, I’m one of those mushy girly pink lovers who wants to be surrounded with all things pink!

I was so psyched to try it ASAP. The first thing I noticed upon opening it was its sweet, rosy smell. So, I tried swiping it on my lips. It left me a shiny pucker with a pink sheen. The aroma, on the other hand, was so unbelievable that it stayed and lingered for hours! However, it’s not that moisturizing and didn’t completely calm my weathered lips.

I think this may pass up as a finishing touch that seals the lipstick for an overall gorgeous lipcolor. It’s also great to those who have a penchant for aromatic scents. I find its scent very therapeutic as it calms and soothes my jarred nerves every time I smell it. I don’t prefer using it as a basic lipbalm though. I think Kiehl’s Lip Balm #1 and Crabtree & Evelyn Jojoba Oil Lip Balm are best finds when it comes to nixing chapped lips, leaving a smooth and smack-worthy smoochies! And oh, not to mention, your old-school Petroleum Jelly does a good work in giving you chap-free lips, too!

Apivita Propoline Lip Aid is available in other variants like Lip-Aid Propolis SPF 15 (meant for chapped lips, my next Apivita buy), Lip-Aid Chamomile SPF 15 (sensitive lips), Lip-Aid Cocoa Butter SPF 15 (soft, healthy lips), Lip-Aid Black Currant (lip-aid for moisture and color) and Lip-Aid Walnut (also, for moisture and color). Grab one now for a cheap price of $7/about Php 300.
