Dewy Beige

    I know this range of lipstick from L'oreal has been on the market for quite some time, but I just wasn't tempted to try it until weeks earlier. I was actually more interested in the purple shade of this Color Riche range, but got waylaid and ended up with this pink-with-a-bit-of-peach shade instead.

    我知道萊雅的這系列精油唇膏已經上市一段時間了，可是直到兩週前我根本連試色都興趣缺缺（邀稿文太多，莫名的滅火  囧>）。只是某天突然在屈臣氏瞄到一個看起來很有趣的紫色，結果玩了一下就移情別戀，把另一隻粉紅帶點蜜桃色的唇膏給帶回家了 XDD

     I got this in BP402 Dewy Beige, which on me is a soft peachy pink (I have rather red lips usually, you can see that here). The photos above were taken under quite sunny conditions, and you can see there's a clearer hint of peach in the pink when there's sunlight.

    我拿的色號是BP402 Dewy Beige，我用起來覺得是很溫柔印象的蜜桃粉色（我本身是紅唇人，素唇請點這裡 >.<） 上面幾張照片都是在陽光直照的光線下拍的，所以照片有點偏黃，不過可以看的出在陽光下這隻的蜜桃色調會更明顯。

   These photos were taken when the weather turned cloudy, which is a bit more true to the actual colour. It is really a rather sweet pink that is on the warm side, I don't know about you but I think the colour looks quite tasty  LOL  The coverage is alright, the colour shows on my lips quite well but I suspect it would look perhaps paler on someone with pale lips.

    上面這些照片則是天氣轉陰的時候拍的，我覺得比較接近實色。總之，這色應該算是有點暖調的甜美粉紅 ... 然後不知道為什麼我覺得這個粉色看起來很可口  XDD  遮唇色的部分我覺得還ok啦～至少在我的紅唇上那粉色調還是有顯出來，雖然我猜想唇色淺的人用起來可能顏色會更淡些  : P

    I like the packaging actually, the gold case feels a bit luxe and there's this little window that shows the lipstick shade without having to read the label (though some of the windows are a bit inaccurate). The formula is my cup of tea as well, as it feels quite moisturing without being sticky. It also gives a bit of shine, though unfortunately it doesn't really help disguise my lip lines, which I'm sorry to say are quite numerous  LOL  I find this lipstick quite lasting, so all in all I think this is something I'll repurchase (if only for that nice purple that's still lurking in my mind)!

    包裝其實我蠻喜歡的，黃金色的外包裝有點奢華感，然後有個小小窗口可以看色號（雖然有些色號的窗口不太準，比如偏紫色的『玫瑰花苞』的窗口是深紅色的   囧＞）。這隻的質地算是我的菜啦，屬於滋潤但不黏膩的類型。有一點光澤感，不過對於我的乾唇沒太大幫助，遮不住我數不盡的唇紋啊  T＿T（好啦～其實我事前也沒在保養啦 XD） 另外，這隻的持久度我也覺得不錯，所以我想我大概會回購吧（其實只想帶回還是忘不了的紫色那隻  >///<）！

    As usual, I'm ending the post with a medley of Instagram pics (@bonjourjasmineblog), blue-themed like my eyeshadow this time, haha!

    照例來個Instagram照片（帳號 bonjourjasmineblog）的拼圖當結尾，這次主題是藍色（好啦～有些沒有 XD），就像今天用的眼影啦！

Romanza

You're a perfect picture
In your lavender and lace.

-- Hoggy Carmichael "Little Old Lady"

NOTES

    I do not know what madness overcame me earlier this spring, but I ordered a high-neck lace top which probably would not look out of place at a grandmothers' fête. Yet I love it, the lace is oh-so-delicate and not cheap-looking at all, and there are lovely little scallop trims at the collar and sleeves. The soft lavender hue is very romantic, so today I'm going old-world complete with a romantic updo (albeit it is just clamped on and a bit messy, honestly) ... in earnest tribute to Ulyana Sergeenko, the master of old-world romance who can always be counted on to look elegant and glamorous in her lace and long skirts.

    我之前真的瘋了，請代買幫我在 usagi-online 買了一件在奶奶的聚會中也不顯得突兀的高領蕾絲上衣  >＿<。不過 ... 其實我很愛它耶  >///<  這件上衣的蕾絲真的非常精緻，沒有一點廉價感，而且領口跟袖口都有超美的扇形邊。這件的淺薰衣草色真的很浪漫，所以今天的穿搭決定走舊時代優雅風，連頭髮也梳個老氣浪漫的中分髮髻（好啦～其實只是用鯊魚夾隨便夾一下，所以有點亂  :P）。謹以這個 look 向舊時代風大師 Ulyana Sergeenko 致敬，她的穿搭常常有蕾絲有長裙，但可以肯定的是永遠看起來華貴優雅！ :)

Mademoiselle Pearl

You see, those precious teardrops
I left my pearl earrings in your car.

-- Vege "Pearl Earrings"

NOTES

    I utterly feel that any girl should have a pair of pearl earrings in their coffret, especially at this time when pearls (and large eye-catching ones, mind you) are back in a big way. Yet, without pierced ears, I had a difficult time finding the right ones in clip form. Thankfully, my searching days are over for now. Of course, these ivory spheres from Cor-date are not real pearls, but they do have that lovely creamy sheen and are the perfect size for me. This day I'm channelling a bit of old Hollywood glamour in the comfort of my parents' bathroom, so please forgive that homely mess that you see upon my mum's dresser  ; )

    我由衷覺得女生的珠寶盒中應該要有一副經典的珍珠耳環，尤其是今年珍珠（尤其是大珍珠）在國內外秀場變得超夯。之前我因為沒有耳洞，一直找不到理想中的夾式珍珠耳環。但是我對珍珠耳環的渴望暫時得到緩解啦！ XD  這對購自 Cor-date 的大珍珠耳環雖然不是真的珍珠，但是它的米白亮澤真的很誘人，大小也是我的菜  >///<  這天想要走老好萊塢的復古感，然後很懶沒整理洗手台，有點亂請見諒啦！ ; )

    And here's a silly little GIF I made with the extra photos. There isn't a lot, so it's really short LOL! Here's an Instagram selfie of this outfit (here). This is my second attempt at GIFs, the first one (and equally silly) is here if you're interested  ;)

    然後下面是我用多拍的照片弄出來的 GIF，因為照片不多所以超短 XDD  照例來張穿搭的 Instagram 自拍（這裡）。這是我第二次嘗試做 GIF 啊，有興趣的話請點這裡看第一個一樣無聊的 GIF！  :P

A is for Americana

Get out on the street
Cos’ if you don’t, you’ll hear a different beat.

-- Laibach "Americana"

NOTES

    Well, today I'm all decked out in (almost) colours of the Star-Spangled Banner, if you ignore the grey. This lettered knit top from Pazzo makes me feel collegiate, even though, sadly, those days were far behind me. After being on duty for two days in a row, I decided to just cosy up in the kitchen for the photoshoot, and to fall down on the couch right after for a long, long siesta!

    今天的穿搭幾乎算是美國國旗色啦 ... 如果忽略掉大片的灰色的話 XDD  這件來自Pazzo的字母針織上衣其實讓我有種回到大學生時代的感覺，雖然那些日子已經裡我很遠了 T＿T  經過連兩天不平靜又累死人的值班，我決定好好躲在廚房裡拍穿搭 ... 然後直接栽進客廳的沙發裡瘋狂補眠！！！ >皿<
