Review: Dior Addict & Chanel Rouge Coco Shine Lipsticks

My apologies to those whom I promised a review for these lippies :(

Apparently, Blogger disapproves of my long rambly review and chose to eat up the 99% completed-draft just before publishing,
then spit it back out unceremoniously in gibberish =_=

I attempted regurgitating the review - I REALLY tried!
However, my irritation and resentment totally thwarted my efforts...  

Anyway, to cut though the chase, 
like most people who compared these 2 formulations, 
I prefer Dior Addict over Chanel Rouge Coco Shine.  

And for once, a SUPER CONCISE EXPRESS review comparing the 2 Titans of this season's lipsticks!

PACKAGING

The packaging of NudeCos' point-makeup line, "NudeCos Signature",

seems to be a significant departure from its base-makeup line,

and the rest of its other products for that matter.

If anything, the whole design concept is exceptionally...mature.

None of the cutesy, princessy frills ala Baviphat and Etude house...

nor the zen-like minimalist lines of Innisfree and Laneige.

What we have here is an elegant, metallic burgundy compact embossed with gold sakuras/cherry blossoms

- an article women in their 30s and beyond would't feel embarassed to whip out for touch-ups.

A short commemorative post about my First...Ever...Purchase of Hand-Made jewelry...online...
For real - my FIRST EVER! ^_^

And to think that it all started with Japan's earthquake in March...

Yasumi of "Worship at the House of Blues" threw herself into making and selling shiny "fings" to raise funds for the cause...
And succeed she did - raised quite a bit of moolah for Japan!

I wanted to support the cause because I know it's VERY close to her heart,
and knowing her impeccable taste and standards,
I knew her pieces would not fall far from perfection...

Thus I purchased the Swarovski heart pendants along with the "Rights of Admission Reserved: A NeckLace"...
(Note: When she says "Swarovski", she means "Swarovski...
Extremely specific about the specifications of each piece so you know exactly what you're paying for )

Soon after, she dedicated a blog to her "fings": The WorshipBlues Emporium,
...which I stalk obsessively...
...for she makes a VERY limited quantity of each piece....
...and she loves posting new items when I'm asleep...T_T

When a piece is gone, it's gone...Forever...

The eagle landed last week...
And WAS . I . PLEASED!

[CLOSED] GiveAway: 6,000 YouTube Subscribers and 450 Blog Followers

Hiya,

Thank you for dropping by.

Well, 6,1XX...And to think that I was literally whooping with joy when I hit 150 when I first started!
6K is rather overwhelming...In a good way, of course ^_^

I hope everybody will support my magazine-sharing transition in FaceBook.
As my subscriber count increases and YouTube's stand on published materials remains iffy, I think it's better to be safe than sorry...
I would literally cry my eyes out if my earlier videos were deleted T_T

However, I do harbour ambitions of making live videos...So... *fingers crossed* ^_~

In the meantime, after the previous Give-Away at 3,030 subscribers,
it's time again to give back to everybody whose supported me from Day One *hugs & kisses*

I appreciate EACH and EVERYONE!
My subcriber count increases at a snail's pace, but on the bright side, I could actually keep track of my "regulars", so to speak.

Again, THANK YOU!
