august favorites & product updates

hi guys! it's the end of august!! ahhhhhh! lol. yeah it was a partly hectic month yet again. there was a lot of going back home on weekends and not being able to relax at the apartment....until now. haha. anyway, it's a short one, but here's what i loved this month! ~Lin-chan ^.~
favorites:


  1. colourpop ultra matte lip in midi -- between this shade and solow, i really liked this nudy-pink much more. formula-wise it's super interesting. it dries down relatively quickly enough, and lasts a really long time. i would put this on after breakfast and it would last through snacking and drinking to lunch time. after lunch, there might be slight cracking/flaking but it's still nearly intact even after eating lunch. layering for touchups works out very well too.
  2. opi nail envy in hawaiian orchid -- i really like using the regular.. original nail envy, and i love how they've finally come out with pigmented ones. if you put too many coats, original nail envy makes your nails start lookin a little dead....but this pink is such a pretty nice and neutral shade!
random favorites: mangas.... in particular, love so life & skip beat --- i've been impatiently following these two for several months now, and OMG i needs closure... and, more recently: L♥DK. >w<
undecided's: makeup eraser -- i'm not sure how i feel about this one. i used it a few times and it works great. but i'm not sure if i'm using too much pressure or what, but i'm losing brow or lash hairs a lot when i use this.

product updates: i'm in the process of returning the bellabeat leaf. despite its gorgeous design and wearability....the functionality wasn't enough for me. outside of the app bugs i mentioned in my initial blog post (they've since been fixed), the pedometer still wasn't perfect. i'm still planning on keeping the app since it does the cycle monitoring---you can manually put in that information, so why not keep it to keep dates in check? but otherwise, i'm going to keep on with the fitbit charge now--and i really like it so far.
