MUFE Rouge Artiste Intense Lipstick No.37

Summer lovin' had me a blast, Summer lovin' happened so fast.....

...and I have fallin' quick-step in love -on this BRIGHT shiny day- with a gorgeous BRIGHT (on the scale of MAC VV Toxic Tale) more pinky than coral lippie....Oui, merci beaucoup MUFE Rouge Artiste Intense Lipstick No. 37!

L to R: MAC LE Toxic Tale (VV), MUFE RA No. 37, MAC Ladydanger

As you can see from the swatch above, it's more pink than Toxic Tale (TT) but as opaque and vibrant as both TT and Ladydanger.

So, because I think the colour is so fab, I think it deserves (yet another!!) pic.....

This is the first lipstick I have bought from the Rouge Artiste line. I believe it is a new addition to the collection and has only recently released. Here are my thoughts on it's quality....

PROS

- The colour is INSANELY beautiful on my NC30 skin

- Almost Fragrance free

- Lasts 2-3 hours

CONS

- Not moisturising

- It's not very creamy so you have to work the product-in to get the stand-out factor and therefore it drags...

- Expensive AUD 27 (and that is after a 20% MA discount)

CONCLUSION

Well it's not perfect but it's good enough for me -as a pink lippie princess- it ticks all my boxes and is a nice twist on the summer bronzed look paired with golden eyeshadow and MAC LE Hipness blush.

Hmmm....*ponders*, i might do a FOTD this weekend with it on to show you the FULL EFFECT....

The Damage

Hereby peruse the damage from today's haulage.....

Ahhhh.... it was so nice to go back to my old makeup school for fresh supplies - MediaMakeup, Rundle Mall Arcade in Adelaide. Lovely Bec, Briony and Corey provided the customer service that only old friends could provide. I needed (yet!) more brushes - these are specific to the makeup academy and are of excellent and superior quality, not dupeable and extrememly robust. For the quality, they are a bargain and I got a whole 14x brush set for AUD 250. I still have my old ones from two years ago and they are still going strong, but this was just my excuse to stock-up (iz lazy about washing my brushes tee hee :P).

This is the only place where one in Australia can buy MUFE (order on-line with shipping to Aus and NZ only, link: http://www.mediamakeup.com.au/store/). I bought MUFE HD foundation #127 for AUD 60, MUFE Full Cover concealer in No. 6 AUD 38.40 and Rouge Artiste Intense Lipstick in #37 for AUD 27.

I had to stop there....no more spending for me for a while (well, just for a teeny while anyways).

(eeek.....)

XX

I HAULED IN HK!

OKAY - so you must know I went on holiday by now. Yes, we took a bit of a detour via Hong Kong. What can I say - but, that I absolutely love this place. The shopping is - AMAH-ZINGGGG! The make-up is INSANE. So much choice, i think i started hyperventilating at SASA - it was makeup heaven...and tax-free and so cheap. And YES- that Dior with reflected light is the ELUSIVE LIMITED EDITION DIOR QUINT that i have been fantasizing about.
