Deformed tops have been popular in Japan since the Summer season last year (July & August 2019 period) and this fashion trend is not dying out any time soon in the country. While the Autumn Winter season is coming to an end in February in Japan, many Japanese brands are observed to continue with this fashion trend in their Spring Summer 2020 Collection as well, as one of their key pieces.

The key point of a deformed top is definitely its deformed or irregular design accents, along with its great balance, where you can style it up effortlessly with all kinds of bottoms, be it pants or skirts. For more adventurous individuals, you can go for printed bottoms instead of one-tone ones, such as checkered or florals.

An interesting thing that I have found out during my research of deformed tops was that various brands, which adopted this fashion trend tend to stick to the safer colour choices, namely black, beige, white. However, it could also be due to the reason that the deformed design is quite different from the norms in the market, and the colours would be more acceptable by consumers.

Furthermore, depending on the sleeve length of the tops, it can actually help you to enhance certain physical features. For instance, a long-sleeved deformed top can help to create a relaxed impression. At the same time, if you were to style it with a pair of long skirt and pants, it can help to elongate your overall body structure.

You can also feel free to style your bottoms with your favourite belt to create your personal look however you like it! ❤

While the trend has not arrived yet in Singapore, it would definitely be lovely to see fashion brands here in Singapore adopt this design as well!

Hi everyone!! ❤
Here's another blog post before it marks the end of the year 2019.

If you guys have been sticking around with me since years back, you might have recognised that I am sharing one of my favourite brands for lip products, Les Merveilleuses Ladurée once again; but this time, their Liquid Rouge! Check out my previous post on their Matte Rouge here!

It is certainly sad that we are no longer able to shop for Laduree's (a French luxury bakery and sweets) macarons here in Singapore, but I was definitely thrilled by the arrival (finally!!) of their cosmetics line, Les Merveilleuses Ladurée in our sunny island last year.

Brand Story
Les Merveilleuses Ladurée proposes “unexpected” beauty beyond the ordinary concept of cosmetics to women who pursue new forms of beauty. Cosmetics that women who are born to women and who truly enjoy being beautiful are attracted by instinctively, not by reason. (official website)

This season has become an excellent time for me to try out colours that I am not exactly used to - lots of browns, beige & nudes. I have always been a fan of lighter tones especially pastels but somehow I took a liking to the earthly palette as well these days.

This time, pairing the #5 "Sublime" shade from Les Merveilleuses Laduree's Autumn line together with my outfit in the rainy season was the initial plan I had in mind but I was pleased that it turned out unexpectedly well - a subtle yet refined lip colour, paired exquisitely together with its classy packaging! The liquid rouge is proposed by its brand for its plump, voluminous lips at a stroke; a smooth, glossy liquid rouge with an excellent colour pay-off.

Price: 🟊🟊🟊

The Liquid Rouge retails at S$36 each at the Les Merveilleuses de Ladurée store in Singapore. It retails at approximately 3520 yen, equivalent to S$44 on Japanese online stores (at the time it was checked).

It caught me by surprise that it is actually more pricey to get them online since products tend to be priced slightly higher once they are sold in Singapore, but this sounds like great news to us! I am quite a sucker for products with beautiful packaging; what's more, a brand I love.

Coverage & Finish: 🟊🟊

The rouge, as proposed, has this voluminous and glossy texture when applied, which I am particularly not a fan of. To begin with, I have never really adored lip gloss products due to their 'gluey 'formula as compared to lip tints or lipsticks so my opinions might be subjective. It was not as 'light-weight' as per my expectations when the rouge sits on my lips. Despite that, it helps to produce a good coverage and achieve a smooth, consistent finishing when applied.

Pigmentation: 🟊🟊🟊🟊

The rouge leans more towards a coral peach colour with a pink undertone, which was the reason behind my purchase. During my initial online discover, I felt certain that it was a rouge colour that should be part of my cosmetics collection. While the rouge colour may be distinctive for this season, I was also pleased that its colour compliments my skin tone (in my case) since it helps to enhance my lips with a rosier glow.

Longevity: 🟊🟊

I would say that it has a low staying power since it requires frequent reapplication. Objectively, the colour was considerably close to my original lip colour, so it was rather difficult to gauge if the rouge has faded previously. I would recommend this liquid rouge if you would like to achieve a more natural, subtle daily look as compared to the usual 'pop' colours.

Will I buy the Liquid Rouge again? That would depend if I would like to try the other shades as well. As it may be its packaging might convince me to purchase another again some other day. In the meanwhile, I am still more of a fan of their Matte Rouge in terms of pigmentation and coverage wise.

Nonetheless, please give the Liquid Rouge a try yourself to determine how it fares for you.
