Make up #11 [LIPS]: Avon's Lava Love

-
Hey ladies! Back to talk about Lipsticks. It is Avon this time. Before I started using Lakme, Revlon and Lóreal, I used Avon. My first lipstick ever was from Avon. Their shades of pink is my favourite! Just like any other woman, I am also obsessed with red lipsticks! Actually I am obsessed with the colour red, I really don't know why. And red was not my favourite colour at all when i was a kid, All of a sudden, the adult in me likes red :-D.  Okay, back to the topic. This is how Lava love looks from the outside. 

Black and silver packaging. It looks elegant na? I like the packaging. I went to Avon one fine day and i told the Sales girl that i wanted a Red lipstick. She suggested me to get this and Avon does not provide testers, so it is ''Buy At Your Own Risk''. However, lucky i took the risk because i totally love the colour. 

This is how the inside looks like. It is because of the lighting that it looks like pink. It it actually reddish-orange. I love the texture, it is very smooth and easy to glide. The lip colour is also moist and smells good as well. But this lip colour need to be touched up after having your meals. Avon has so many red shades that caught my eyes!!! But I am trying to slow down on my purchases :-D (Have Recently spent a bomb on Lakme items)


Avon lip colours are pretty good. Plus they are affordable as well. You can get their lip colours for as low as 10MYR. I can't really remember how much i bought this colour for. But yeah, just browse through their catalog and you will find wonderful colours!

Ponnuruku (Gold Melting)

Since i have so many wedding coming up in the family, I've decided to post about some pre-wedding rituals in a Sri Lankan (ceylonese) wedding. It is also called as ponnuruku and the gold that is used to take the thali is melted at the bridegroom's house. Apparently this is an essential ceremony and it cannot be skipped. This ceremony normally occurs 5-7 days before the wedding. The groom presents the gold to the family's goldsmith to be melted in a clay pot. The bride do not participate  in this and the groom and bride from this time onwards do not see each other and they remain vegetarians until the wedding is over. After the gold melting, Kanni Kaal is planted in both houses.  A few guest from the groom's house attends the ceremony followed by a vegetarian meal. After the planting is over, ladies of both parties will make Athirasam and this is distributed to all present. The significance of this is something sweet is traditionally given to mark the good occasion a

Why Does A Ceylonese Bride Wear A Veil?

So, why does a Ceylonese bride wear a veil? I myself don't know much about the tradition. I wasn't even aware of this until a few posts came up on Facebook. I don't any reason behind all the tradition that happens in a Ceylonese wedding. In a typical Ceylon wedding, the grooms sits on the manavarai (Canopy) through out the wedding. The brides comes in after the "rakshabandham" of the groom. Trust me, i don't even know what the hell is this. So apparently the bride and groom cannot see each other until he (groom) hands the bride her "Koorai" saree (wedding saree). That is the reason why a Ceylon bride wears a veil. The whole cost of the wedding falls under the bride's responsibility. Remember my earlier post about the gold melting ceremony? That is purely the responsibility of the groom's side.

Feed Your Skin: Facial Treatment Essence #SK-ii

I was a little hesitant to purchase this because of the price. but after using it i understand why it's this pricey!  I have used few small bottles (10ml) and in the midst of one 75ML bottle. I have more than half a bottle left and i used it daily (night time).  I am very stingy with my usage, i use only 2 to 3 drops which is sufficient enough to cover my whole face and neck. I prefer to use my palm to apply it rather than a facial cotton. I feel i am wasting the essence if i use a facial cotton and i need to apply more drops onto it to cover my whole face. My skin felt very radiant and clear but i saw a difference after a few and consistent usage. I wake up to a glow-y and clear skin. It also makes my skin look smooth and soft. So the key is consistent here! SK-11's formulation is a lightweight liquid that quickly absorbs into the skin and each bottle contains 90% PITERA. I wish they sell it at a cheaper price but it's totally worth it. I have browsed through la
