Makeup from DFS Singapore International Airport

Lancome Rouge In Love 365N and Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in Black Ink
Recently I have just flown to Shenzhen, China for some work related stuff, and I took advantage of the chance and got myself some makeup at Singapore Changi Airport DFS Perfumes & Cosmetics. I kept a tight rein over myself and it was a feat to only walk away with two pieces of makeup.

Lancome Rouge in Love
Lancome Rouge In Love has been out in the market for quite some time, and I love the idea of how the lipstick shades are classified according to moods.

Categorized in 3 moods:

Jolis Matins: Fresh shades for daytime wear. Jolis Matins shades are identified with the letter M in the shade number.

Boudoir Time: Pop shades for cocktail hour. Bourdoir Time shades are identified with the letter B in the shade number.

Tonight is My Night: Intense shades for magical nights. Tonight is My Night shades are identified with the letter N in the shade number.

I have been eyeing to own a piece of Lancome Rouge In Love for the longest time, but the steep price of SGD$40 in town has been a huge hurdle. Seeing the lipstick is priced at SGD$ 28.40 at DFS, I just had to get one! The lipstick comes in a nice weighty sliver burnished tube which I love.

365N Rose Grenadine

Being a person who favors light colored lipsticks, it was a surprise that I decided to pick shade 365N Rose Grenadine. It's an interesting color which appears pinkish coral under orange lighting and red under white light. It glides on smoothly, gives enough hydration for me to skip lip balm underneath, but it is definitely not for those with chapped lips. So if you do have chapped lips, give your lips a good buff before application.

Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner
1 Black Ink
After having good encounters with Lunasol gel eyeliner, I wanted to get something in black as well. Seeing many rave review on Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in Black Ink and the lower than town price of $31.10 at DFS, I decided to purchase it and try it out myself. The gel eyeliner applies smoothly without tugging, and gives a nice black line. But alas, it does not have the staying power. As I have oily eyelids, by afternoon the eyeliner would have smudged onto my lower eye area, giving me raccoon eyes! Applying eye primer and black eyeshadow over it to set the eyeliner didn't help either. A serious disappointment considering the price... I should have just stuck to Lunasol...
