Lipstick Diaries: The Story Behind Happy Skin X Disney Princess Moisturizing Matte Lippie in Aurora
I don’t like makeup and I’ve always looked at it as a bother.

But I tried to get into makeup when I entered college because I was starting to become conscious about my pimples, acne marks and dark undereyes. But whatever makeup I put on would immediately be gone as soon as I started sweating.

The only product I used on my face was oil blotting paper from The Face Shop and Lucas Papaw for my lips.

When I was in my 2nd year in college, I started participating in seminars, workshops, talks and study programs. This meant I had to at least put on a bit of makeup.
I’ve been through several lipsticks but none that actually made me want to use them on a daily basis until my mom gave me something from the Happy Skin X Disney collection - the Happy Skin X Disney Princess Moisturizing Matte Lippie in Aurora.

Like I said, I'm not a big fan of makeup but I was excited to check out this collaboration because I grew up watching a lot of Disney shows and movies.
The first time I used this lipstick, I immediately fell in love.
Aside from the fact that it was easy to use, the color was just right for me. It wasn't too dark and it wasn't too nude. It looked natural.
This lipstick has been with me during a number of business plan defenses, staying late at school to finish papers and projects and attending and organizing events.

I still have no idea how to put on makeup, but everytime I put my Aurora lipstick on, it feels just like a shield of confidence.
