Hi everyone, it's time for another update of LAW!

Omg time flew by and this round had become a monthly update instead. 😨😭Have set reminders so I shouldn’t miss the schedule for every 2 weeks from now on.

I also like to share my no-buy is going well. Only had to do 1 replacement of a skincare item and was frankly did no shopping at all since life was life-ing.

It’s time again for reflection and rolling in a new lip product this week. Some guiding questions for the posts:

- Product brand and name

- Why is this product selected?

- Do you wear the lip product by itself only or layered/mixed with other products?

- Do you still like the formula/colour/effect the lip product gives?

- Any new discoveries or decisions made after testing the product for a week?

Last update’s pick was Flower Knows Shells Jewel Lip Serum in 02 Stella Nacre. The matte pick was my Girlcult Material Medica Matte Lip in 04 Little Cumin. I ended up using both for the entire month as both are work horses and the Flower Knows was a great weekend pick as well. Hoping to pan the Flower Knows lip serum this year, happy that it got well used in June.

Next 2 weeks I will be switching up to my Joocyee glossy stick in 562 Flat White and my mini of Girlcult’s matte lip mud/mousse? in Red water. As the temperatures get oven-like hotter, I tend to deviate towards beigey and terracotta colours with a generally more toned down makeup as well. Also, putting in the mileage to pan for these two items, the Joocyee is the click pen type with 2.2g of product and the mini is only 0.7ml I believe.

Looking forward to seeing your updates and new entries!

Hi everyone, it's time for another update of LAW!

Sorry for being late. Due to work and health, I’ve decided to change the post to a bi-monthly update format instead. Want to shout out a big thanks to all who have been actively participating and I hope that this new format will continue to support you all on your lipstick love journey.

I have also been reflecting on my purchases this year as well and have decided to embark on a strict No buy for toiletries, skincare and makeup till end 2026.

Few motivations:
- I have a lot of inventory across all beauty categories. Will need to go through them and I am sure with 7 months to go, I’m still not going to finish all.
- Want to not think about sales at all, automatically opting out of all releases and even the big year end sales.
- want to really use up my collection which I enjoy instead of getting distracted by novelty of trying new stuff.

All nothing new but I think I have been using retail therapy as an escape route from work stress again so this will be a good focus exercise.

Last update’s pick was Lisa Eldridge Gloss Embrace in Silent Sun. Of course I had to promptly misplace it after rolling it in and now I can’t find it still 😭 Instead, I worked on my Flower Knows Swan Ballet Shine Lipstick in 01 Little Star and am super happy to report that I have panned it! Looking into my spreadsheet I had been using this for 2 years… 😅 I didn’t dig into it with a lip brush as I have so many other lip products but I do count this as done 😤

For the next update in 2 weeks time, I am rolling into a matte and and moisturizing formula for my focus products. My Flower Knows Shells Jewel Lip Serum in 02 Stella Nacre. The matte pick is my Girlcult Material Medica Matte Lip in 04 Little Cumin. Both work well for work and I like to have a peach and pinkish option to switch based on the other makeup. This is such a throwback to when I started, just 2 options, a pink and a peach… 🥺

Looking forward to seeing your updates and new entries!

Hi everyone, it's time for another update of LAW!

Sorry for missing out the last 2 weeks as I was seriously sick and then got swamped by life and work. We are now back again heading into the end of May and would love to hear your updates!

Last update’s pick was Flower Knows Moonlight Mermaid Jewel Lip Tint in 03 Starlight Bubble. The lip tint formula is really good but I also taught me that I just don’t gravitate towards glassy lip tint looks as it doesn’t get picked up in my collection much, as I prefer glosses and dare I say, stickier formulas. Also whilst I was sick I was just surviving on my lip balms so didn’t get much use in the meantime any lip products.

This week my pick will be Lisa Eldridge Gloss Embrace in Silent Sun. I still need to ease into coloured lip products and this tube is finally on the home stretch of panning. Hoping that focusing on it this week will get it panned! Once it is done, I can open a new lip product that is also a clear gloss in my stash to start working on going through my lip stash as well.

Looking forward to seeing your updates and new entries!

It’s now May and we are heading right into spring weather and warm weather yay!

Last week’s pick was a mini, Girlcult Miao Witch matte lip mousse in Red Water. For a mini it is going pretty strong, partly as I reapply less since there is little transfer. Really enjoy girlcult matte formulas and happy to switch up my makeup for a really light cheek to pair with this muted terracotta, felt I was getting blush blindness sometimes.

This week I’m rolling in my Flower Knows Moonlight Mermaid Jewel Lip Tint in 04 Starlight Bubble. The weather has been getting really warm here and this is a very pretty juicy apricot lip tint that has a glassy finish, fitting the weather vibes! This is a really good lip tint formula just that I don’t use it enough.

Looking forward to seeing your updates and new entries!

Hi everyone, it's time for another update of LAW!

Time flies and we are already heading to the end of April! My target this year is to pan 3 lip products (be it minis or full size) and reduce my lip stash further. Pretty confident this can be done. Balancing this is to also rotate through my collection so that items are not forgotten either.

Do share if you have any lip goals this year and how has the journey been? Would love to hear about it!

Last week’s pick was my Em Cosmetics Soft Spoken Lip Creme in Tender. I used for 4 days and managed to bring it around for reapplication. Really enjoyed the colour and the soft moussey formula is that hard on my dry lips. It does transfers quite a bit when drinking so this could be partly why I am not as in love with it as this weeks pick.

This week am rolling in a mini, Girlcult Miao Witch matte lip mousse in Red Water. Currently it is my favourite soft matte formula with how thin it feels and has very little transfer, if any. The only issue with girlcult lip products is the strong floral scent but personally I don’t mind it strangely. Red Water is a muted terracotta that functions as a daily workhorse. This is a tiny 0.5g mini that I would like to pan this year as I also own a duplicate as they were free gifts from my order.

Looking forward to seeing your updates and new entries!
