My Lip Combo of The Week THAT WORKS!

 

There are days when I'm running on less sleep than I'd like, but I still want to look fresh, polished, and put together without looking like I'm wearing too much makeup. Lately, I've found myself reaching for the same lip combination over and over again—and I think I've finally found a duo that's become a staple in my makeup routine.

The Combo

• Rare Beauty Lip Pencil
• Kanebo Rouge Star Vibrant Lipstick

What I love most about this pairing is how effortless it looks. The Rare Beauty Lip Pencil gives my lips subtle definition without creating that obvious, overlined look. It enhances my natural lip shape, making them appear fuller while still looking soft and natural.

The star of the combo, though, is the Kanebo Rouge Star Vibrant. The formula glides on beautifully with a comfortable, moisturizing feel, leaving my lips looking healthy with just the right amount of vibrancy. It's one of those lipsticks that instantly brightens your complexion without overpowering the rest of your makeup.

Together, they create that "I woke up looking refreshed" effect—almost like I actually managed to get a full eight hours of sleep.

As much as I love trying new makeup, I always find myself gravitating toward products that enhance rather than transform. I still want to look like myself—just a little more rested, a little more radiant, and a little more confident.

This lip combination does exactly that.

It's wearable enough for daytime, polished enough for meetings or events, and effortless enough to become an everyday favorite.

If you're looking for a lip combo that adds life to your face while still keeping everything natural and elegant, this pairing is definitely worth trying.

Have you discovered a lip combination you can't stop wearing lately? I'd love to hear your favorites!

Rare Beauty Luminous Powder Blush in Hope

 Real talk.

I thought celebrities who are coming out with their own makeup and skincare line are making it out there due to the fact that they are ahm… CELEBRITIES!  How many percentage are people happy with the products they put out?

Well the pecentage gets higher!  I remembered buying Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty expecting to bash her but ended up loving it!

When Selena Gomez launced Rare Beauty, I have been meaning to try her Luminous Powder Blush because they just look too good on videos and photos!  

Now, I get it, it works even for non-celebrities!

Rare Beauty Lip Souffle Matte Lip Creams Review

 

I have read a lot of good reviews about Rare Beauty and I really can’t tell if they got famous just because it was by Selena Gomez.  I mean she is BIG and most cosmetis brands spearheaded by big stars get all the buzz.

It was assumptous of me, but you can’t blame me.  Thankfully, RARE Beauty products are available at Sephora Philippines so I was able to get my hands on them without having to go to the post office - I used to get excited to do so but with the pandemic, I’d rather stay home.

Thankfully, found the bestselling shade of the Lip Souffle Matte Lip Cream in a Duo Kit.  A full size of Courage and sample size of the shade Ambition.  

Known as wearable nude lips that goes with everything, I usually don’t go well with Nude lipsticks made by Western brands but these 2 shades are turning out to be my favorite nude for the year 2022.

Shade: COURAGE

Courage is a gorgeous Nude Mauve that appears like my lips but way better!

SHADE: AMBITION
