CORAL LOVE

this summer,  is all about CORALS when it comes to makeup... everywhere I look, I see Coral colored everything... & for some reason, I've been likin the look of neon corals.... I dunno what it is, but this weird bright lip color look seem to attract me... although I've been wanting to get me one neon coral lip color, I haven't really gone out to look for it...

but yesterday, (while my mom was at the Filipino store, I decided to check out the beauty supply store next door... they carry O.P.I. n/p's so I thought I'd see if I'll find something I'll like) guess what I found??!? the perfect neon coral lipstick!!!! & two other things coral!

here is my loot of the day:

got these 2 uber cheap lippies... they are $2.59 + tax/each

I'm not very fond of the Rachel Perry packaging, but I do like the Beautiful Image one... it's very simple & chic!

here are the lippies side by side

Rachel Perry - Painted Desert Peach (left)

Beautiful Image - Spontaneous (right)

when I swatched the Spontaneous at the store, I was like, "dressmaker, dressmaker?!? ISTHATCHU??" LOL.... they look so identical!!!

see for your self on these swatches

and here they are next to each other

Beautiful Image - Spontaneous (left)

MAC - Dressmaker, Dressmaker (right)

isn't it crazy how they look so much alike???? it would've been the perfect dupe only if this brand is accessible to everybody...

on the other hand, based on swatches I've seen from different blogs, the Painted Desert Peach would be a good dupe for either the

YSL Rouge Pur lipstick 52 Rosy Coral

or the

Chanel Rouge Allure lipstick 187 Genial

I also got the O.P.I. You're Such A Kabuki Queen... I didn't really think this n/p is a coral shade when I was at the store.. but when I painted it on my nails it looks coral with a rosy tint to it.... this one is on sale for $6.95 + tax....

swatched, one coat

did anybody see the game 7 for Lakers & Celtics last night?? OMG!!! wasn't it the most exciting basketball game ever!?! the game was hella close!! I was screaming my lungs out the whole 4th quarter!! hahaha... I am so glad the Lakers won!!!! my Lakers inspired look was a lucky charm... LOL

yesterday, my summer officially started as my son's last day of school was last Wednesday! yay!! break from all the school drama for a bit.... time for some hot summer vacation! 

what are your plans this summer?? goin anywhere special???

happy summer everyone!!
