YSL Easy French Kit YSL, Kit, Easy, French

Alcoholic

Yesterday lunch time, i saw this YSL French Manicure kit. I heard about it a while ago, and it's out already! $52 + tax for the 2 pens...so i got it! I haven't tried it yet (because i just put on the new Chanel spring color on monday). it looks easy enough to do a nice French manicure DIY at home!

Description:
At last a French manicure becomes accessible to every woman. This clever duo of portable pens is particularly easy to use: a pen with a lead to draw a white line along tips of the nail and a pen-brush to highlight the nails with a subtle veil of pastel pink colour. Your nails are instantly well manicured, smooth and glossy.

no, actually, i don't own any Bobbi Brown products. but i'm planning to buy their gel eyeliner next when i go through my stock.
i haven't tried BB shimmer brick, but the SA at Dior told me that the Dior shimmer powder has similar texture. i bought both Dior shimmer powder, but haven't used it yet. I plan to give my mom the pink one (cus she needs blush), & i'll use the Amber one myself. Going to use it tomorrow when i go tea with my lo-ye & lai-lai.... i'll post about it before i go out...hahahahahhahaa

you so lucky, can do your nails in the office. you know, today i had to CAREFULLY work in my office because i don't want my pretty manicure to chip!! LOL. maybe i'm too 粗老~ kakaka

but i was really shaky doing my right hand using my left hand to hold the pen. since it's a pen & the tip is different, i had extra trouble to keep it from shaking. if it's like regular nail polish, i can do it no problem. but once you get the hang of it, it's really easy. & i used a piece of paper to test the pen...make sure the flow of white liquid is enough...cus you can't really tell ga mah

i just used the Amber Dior Shimmer Block
amber one is very subtle, not enough to use as blush itself (the pink one is ok as blush).... but it gives a nice earthtone glow. i dabbed a little orange blush, & then the Dior Shimmer Block over it.... looks very natural, & tones down the blush color to look as if it's your own cheeks blushing.

i would recommend it!!!
although i haven't tried the BB shimmer brick, can anyone compare it to my description of the Dior blocks? thanks!

BB gel line is good? ok... i'll get it NEXT time   working in downtown right next to pacific centre is so DEADLYYYYY!!!! is it waterproof? or does it stick to your eye-lid? cus my left eye crease is so weird ga...if i use pencil liner, after a few blinks, it will have some color stick to my eye lid so i need to use waterproof pencil liner (like Shu Uemura), or liquid eye liner sin work ga lor~ so can anyone let me know if the BB gel liner will stick?

Lavshuca:
it's not limited edition... but it's just cool that i HAD to get it ja ma!! hahaha... i have like over 50+ nail polishes but it's never enough...

its_visa:
the white pen is like a round-pointed marker tip. i find it kinda hard to get the side of the nails without smudging it on your fingertips...cus it's kinda fat, & you nails kinda curve in on the side...if you know what i mean. but it's definitely much much easier then doing the same thing with regular white nail polish brush lor~

you know what girls? today i went shopping with my mom... @ metro. we walked into Shoppers to play with makeup. we tried that Smashbox  O-Glow (gel blush), & it works like magic! i tested it on my sister, because she has no makeup on (other than eyeline), and the clear gel made her cheeks look natural pink!!! so AWSOME!!!! it looks like she's 面色好好，好健康咁囉！ i want to get that too now!

cin:
really?! that is like wonder then! so the BB gel liner doesn't come with the brush ga? how much is a pot of BB gel line? you are really tempting me! it's so hard to find a liner that doesnt smudges! like i have a section of cream liner in my Maquillage, Majorica eyeshadow compact.... it looks nice, but it smudges lor! so i can't really use it....

oic... i have like 7 different blushes   ranging from powder (Dior), cream (RMK), 1/2 cream/powder texture (Ipsa), to liquid (Amarni)
yah...that O-Glow is so good lor! i wonder how it will look on top of foundation neh... cus today i have blush on, so no point to try it on me mah~ but it looks awsome on my sister's cheeks!

Alcoholic

oic...
i will go to BB counter next time & check it out sin

the O-Glow is in a tube...but the gel is CLEAR!!!!!!! i put like a 1/4 pea size on each my sister's cheeks...cus i didn't know how much & how much color will show. at first, it got really red! but then, it tones down itself to the right amount of color. i don't think you can really "over apply" it... as long as you blend it out. & it's very easy to blend. it feels like a water-based gel ga~~~
