Hi Marj and Shen!!! LOL! 😀

Nope, I’m not the one in black. I’m denying it! Haha! Anyway, please don’t be fooled by this photo. This is just a game. I repeat. This is just a game. We were divided into three groups with one model each. We needed to put kiss marks on the model’s polo using our lips. So, beauty bloggers represent! That explains the photo. (Okay, I’m explaining too much!) Moving on… Haha!

During the launch, beauty queens Venus Raj, Shamcey Supsup, and Ariella Arida were present to give some tips on how to achieve that perfect pout. One of the most interesting tips that they shared (which I’m quite sure a lot of ladies have always been wondering) is how to make your lipstick stay – even after drinking or eating. First is to use lip liner and apply lipstick on top. Dust with powder to set the lipstick, then apply the second layer of lipstick. You’re then guaranteed to have a long lasting lip color!
