Drink Green Tea!!! It's Good For You!!!
Okay, so we've all heard a lot about how Green Tea is beneficial for us, but we haven't really payed too much attention to it, am I right? Hahahaha I drink it sometimes, like when I'm at Chinese restaurants, or when I'm really cold. And I really like Asian iced green tea drinks. Did you know that green tea has been used as a medicine in China for at least 4,000 years? There have been scientific studies that have proven that green tea reduces the risk of certain types of cancer, heart disease, impaired immunity, and high cholesterol levels. Green tea also contains lots of healthy anti-oxidents which are very good for skin health!! So, next time you're at a Chinese restaurant or are craving some hot tea, choose Green Tea!!

Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Lipstick in Tea Rose #148
YSL's Rouge Pur Lipstick in Tea Rose is probably the most versatile and wearable nude lipstick I've ever encountered. It's an intensely gorgeous nude, with equal amounts of peach and pink. There are many nude lipsticks out there like this, but none of them are exactly the same as Tea Rose. I first discovered this color a while back, maybe 2 or 3 years ago in my friend's makeup collection. I liked it but I didn't really think too much of it because at the time, it was too pink for my liking. I then saw that Lorraine Stanick, also known as TheCurrentCustom on YouTube wore this quite often, as it was her favorite lipstick. I now consider this to be one of my own personal favorites now too :] It has a very creamy consistency, and being a Rouge Pur, is very well-pigmented. I can wear this color at daytime or nighttime with any makeup look and it looks perfect. It's a light-medium nude but I feel like it's warm-toned and pink enough to where anyone can wear this color. It's so pretty, and all YSL products come in the most beauuuuuutiful golden packaging :] I think next time I'm at a big Nordstrom I'm gonna have to pick up another one of these babies. Yes, it's just THAT pretty<33333 If you're ever had troubles with nude lipsticks looking too pale or too peach or too pink or too pasty on your lips, swatch or try on Tea Rose when you get the chance- You will probably love it. And need it. And you just might not be able to live without it :]

MAC's High Tea Lipstick: A Gorgeous Sheer Nude
I was at The Grove (mall) the other day in L.A. and I stopped by the MAC store to pick a few things up... I bought a few things but the one thing I'm most interested in is High Tea lipstick. It's a really nice color- a medium pink-ish nude. What I like most about this color is how SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER it is. When I put this super creamy lipstick on, it literally just gives the slightest amount of color, and a lot of shine. It's kind of like a lipgloss in lipstick form. It's a very moisturizing formula- it feels smooth and slippery on the lips. I like that I can wear this whenever I don't want to look too made up. It's a great daytime nude lipstick. I also like wearing this lipstick layered on top of or underneath another much more pigmented lipstick to help sheer it out a bit. If you're looking for a very sheer yet VERY PRETTY medium pink nude lipstick, DEFINITELY pick up High Tea today!!!! It won't wash you out, it won't make you look dead or sickly, and it won't dry your lips out. It has very neutral tones, so you can wear it whether you have warm or cool undertones. I feel like this is a lipstick that EVERY nude lip lover should have in their collection!!! Is anyone else loving this lipstick right now too!?!? Let me know ;]
