My Go-To Lipsticks

When it comes to lipsticks or lip colors, I'm not very bold. I go for what I know best would look good on me. I never stray too far from my 'usual' colors, which consists of something with rose or violet undertones as well as purples. Sometimes I do go into a little bold red (with blue undertones specifically!), bright pink, or deep deep dark red.. But those are only for certain occasions. Whereas these are my easy go-to lipstick colors that I swear by. I can never go wrong with these shades!

(L-R):

Jouer "Petale de Rose"

It has a slight rose pink finish which I love. I've been wearing this one almost everyday currently. The color is that pretty.

Stila "Patina"

It does kind of look similar to Jouer's petale de rose, but it has a different finish when dry.. I'd say more taupe in color.

Jouer "Cassis"

This one has a slight violet cool undertone, which surprisingly looks good on me because I always think my skin tone is on the warmer side.

Stila "Aria"

Now this one is one of my fave 'darker' shade lipstick for everyday wear. I'd say its a plum color, perfect for Fall.. or here in Indonesia, perfect for date night with the husband.

Monthly Favorites

These two black sheer Zara tops that I got for my birthday are one of this month's faves!

It's time for monthly favourites! This month, I have quite a few things that are easily becoming some of my go-tos as well as food that made me all excited for Fall, although we don't really experience Fall here in Indonesia (more like Rainy season). When I think of Fall, I immediately think of Apple Pies.. Caramels.. No, I'm not a pumpkin spice girl.

The One with the Kids' Birthday

Since our kids' birthday are only 2 weeks apart, my husband and I decided to have a joint birthday party to celebrate them both - being Little A's 6th and Baby K's 1st birthday.

Little A, being the considerate and loving big brother that he is, was completely on board with the idea. Hence, in order to accommodate both child (different gender and all), we decided on the theme: Pixies and Pirates!

Birthday Hauls

I was spoiled rotten on my birthday.
