Lisa....We Switched Lives!

120.Surprise

"Now let me show you something else. I am sure you will be more shocked than this." As Lalisa said this to Minnie, she turned towards her bed. She removed her pillow and picked up a small container that was placed under it.

She showed it to Minnie and said, "Tada.. Here's the surprise." she squealed in excitement.

Minnie looked at the small box then at Lalisa. She smiled awkwardly.

She had never seen Lalisa behaving like this. It's still hard to get used to this.

Lalisa walked up to Minnie and opened the small box and showed to Minnie and said, "See, this is the surprise I was talking about. I know you were worried about me, being overshadowed by Xiao Li in the Banquet. But there is no way she can do that."

"Because who am I? I am Ki..Lee Lalisa. The Empress of the Jeong Dynasty, if everyone can topple over me, then what's the meaning of being the Empress." Lalisa said haughtily.

She almost said, Kim Lisa. She needs time to adjusts to this new identity. She breathed out.

Minnie looked into the container and she could see something dark pink-colored thing inside. But she could not guess what it is. She looked at Lalisa with a questionable look, as if asking her to explain further.

Lalisa looked at Minnie and sighed, then she spoke, "I know you wouldn't know what it is. Because I must be the first one to make in this country." she laughed proudly.

Minnie looked at her confusingly. The other two maids stood behind Minnie to see what Lalisa has prepared.

Though Lalisa has asked for somethings to prepare yesterday, but they had no idea how Lalisa will use them.

So they were also curious about the thing that Lalisa has made.

Lalisa looked at Minnie and used her finger to dip in the box and used that finger to dab at Minnie's Lips. At this Minnie baffled and stepped back and asked, "Miss, what are you doing."

Lalisa held her on the place and said, "Shhh. Just stay like this for a minute. I will tell you what I am doing when I am done."

After seeing her work, she turned to those two maids who were already shocked and said, "Get me a mirror. Let her see my work." as she said, she smiled smugly.

When Minnie looked at herself in the mirror, she was shocked. She looked at Lalisa with surprised expression and said, "Miss, what is this?" she said while looking herself in the mirror.

She...looked beautiful. Her lips felt soft and the pink color on her lips complimented her white complexion.

She touched her lips and felt its softness. It also smelled nice. She has never seen anything like this.

The color that the ladies from noble families or the consorts use was very light as it was colored by rubbing the rose petals. It's light and not much visible.

But the color that Lalisa has applied on Minnie's lips was dark and soft. It made her lips soft and the color looked beautiful on her lips.

Even the other two maids were also shocked seeing Minnie who was looking beautiful just because Lalisa has colored her lips.

Lalisa looked at Minnie and nodded in acknowledgment, ' Makeup does wonders on people.' she thought to herself. Seeing the surprised and confusing looks of everyone she decided to explain to them.

"So, do you like it?" she asked Minnie.

"Very much. But Miss what is this? And how did you made this?" Minnie asked Lalisa with curiosity.

The other maids also joined the suite and said, "Yes, Miss. How did you do this?"

Lalisa looked at them and chuckled.

She then said, "It's called.... Lipstick or lip color? Anyway whatever you can call it. It can be used to add some color to your lips and make them soft. And it's much better than rubbing rose petals on your lips, as it is more durable and more visible." she explained with a smile.

The three people looked at her in seriousness and was listening carefully. Though there are few things that they did not understand but still nodded.

Minnie asked, "But Miss, how did you made this?" she asked while lifting the small container in her hand and looked at her amusingly.

Lalisa looked at Minnie with playful expression and winked. Then she sat on the bed and said, "Yesterday, your mood was bad because I rejected to wear the dress from his highness. So I thought about how to make you believe that I am not someone to be played by anyone, so I decided to make this."

"Not only this will make me look more beautiful but also boost my confidence. Though I don't need this stuff as I am already so beautiful," she said while shrugging her shoulders.

Minnie's expressions fell as she heard Lalisa's narcissist words. She smiled awkwardly.

"This lipstick will make me different from everyone in the banquet. And I could use this to raise others' attention too that Empress Dowager doesn't want me to take." As she said her eyes sharpened.

"And for how I made it, Ahhm it's pretty easy. Come here, I will tell you. But you guys are not allowed to tell anyone else. And If you did, then don't complain to me for being ruthless." Lalisa asked them to come near and warned them to not share it with anyone.

The method of making lipstick is like a confidential formula in this world. She knows that the ladies from harem will come behind her wailing their tails if she showed her cards at the banquet, because who doesn't like to be more pretty.

Moreover, the competition in the palace is tougher because there are so many women lives under the same roof. So she could use her knowledge in fashion and makeup to her use.

Thinking of this scenario, Lalisa smirked.
