SEPHORA/MAC Mini-HAUL~!

Hello there~!

It has been awhile since my last post, been very busy with work and stuff. But now I'm back to bring you some stuff I just bought and might give you some insights on these stuff... swatches will be done very soon (too sleepy and tired to do post some swatches).

December is here, and for the last 3 days of November Sephora had a 20% off to most items in store. I'm referring to SEPHORA ION Orchard. I had a M.A.C. shopping~! and of course some stuff I picked up which I know will be useful.

If you're asking if you need all of these stuff, of course you don't. But since I am away from my love ones, it is depressing to be apart so I just had to release it through... shopping for Make Up. >.> The girly side of me >.<

Enjoy!

NYX Center Stage Jumbo Pencils

Got to use this once, I think I used Nude, one time just to test it out with my UD Naked palette. Placed Half-baked all over the lid and poof! It's a good base but you need to make sure everything is well blended so you do not have to worry about having it... accidentally separate your eyeshadows...

Benefit's Fine One(One) Cream Blush/Highlighter/Bronzer(?) in one!

I've been meaning to buy these products for months now and finally I have it! and ever since I got my hands on it... I use it everyday. I really love it and it blends really nicely. It gives you that "you're good to go" look.

M.A.C.'s Mineralize Blush in Love Thing

I haven't use this one yet but like the benefit cream blush, I have been meaning to buy it for months. Being a bit of an addict with dark colors (people usually see me wearing black), I've been looking at a blush that is quite dark so I could use it as a contour. >.> If you know what I mean... lol! I'll be using it on our Christmas Party. Hopefully I get to update you guys XD

M.A.C's Paint pot in Dangerous Cuvee

I used this product once, and with my other M.A.C. Paint Pot in Vintage Selection, I find this very very cool to use. I love the greyish-blue shade it gives off with a little dab of Perversion Eye Pencil, smoking it out and viola! It's a really nice color. 

M.A.C'S Pearlfusion Shadow in Pinkluxe

I've been hearing (reading) bad reviews about this one, which I've done after I bought it. (Silly me) The reason why I bought it is it's like having those shades from Naked 3. I was convincing myself not to buy Naked 3 for it has....... "PINKS" in it. I'm not a fan of Pink (color), which contradicts the next product I bought. But I know I'm lying so I might still eat my words and buy NAKED 3 :)) (LOL!) Looking forward in to playing with this one soon.

M.A.C.'s Studio Finish Concealer in NW20

Look, I hate Kim Kardashian. But her make up is quite ok... o.o so I think I'll try it out? nah, I'm still having this Metalhead side of me on the surface which I'm quite proud of. I don't know how to relate these two things together but you know what I mean right? I might go back to pick up an NW25 which is my skin color for a more natural look, but since I am doing some pin-up/vintage look, I'll settle for this one.

M.A.C's Retro Matte Lipstick in All Fired Up

I've been looking for a Pinkish Reddish lipstick and I found this which I've been looking forward to using anytime soon~! I love the color since I'm pretty much in to this "berry" colored lip. >.> Weird... but anyways, will update you for looks for these stuff soon~!

Thanks for your time!


Love,

M.A.C. Stroke of Midnight: NUDE (Lip Bag) + Private Party

Ahoy Stranger!

It is I, greeting you a belated happy Halloween and welcome to my page again. I have been quite depressed this day, and so my only way of coping up with my own sadness is by shopping... splurging on what ever it is. and now I'm broke~! (lol)

Sooo I just had my mini haul from Sephora and got some pretty neat stuff with M.A.C.. As some of you may know, I love M.A.C. (in terms of lipsticks) and most of my Lipsticks are M.A.C.. I bought 2 pressed powders (Studio Fix and Select/Pressed Sheer which I usually use because it's NC 25 not NC 35 where I feel it's a little too dark on my skin). And that's pretty much it(?).

Just to show you guys some stuff I bought (pardon the dragged make up, shot these pictures after work so... >.>) and tell you how I feel with these products.

The small bottle is a freebie, I think it's an UD foundation(?)

Just had Stroke of Midnight: Nude (lip bag) and 

Private Party (lipstick)

Here is what you'll get in the box

So, the contents are: lip liner pencil in Boldly Bare (<3),

Creme d'Nude Creamsheen lipstick (oh sh*t got 2 of this now x.x), 

and Softly Lit lip glass. The other one is Private Party which is

from the Divine Night collection.

So I played around with my new stuff just to tell you how I feel with it. Let's start of with Stroke of Midnight: Nude.

 

Products used: All the stuff in the Stroke of Midnight: Nude (Lip Bag)

First of all, I looove the lip liner pencil in Boldly Bare. I always use a lip liner pencil before putting any lipstick on (that's how I got it to stay on longer). Since I mostly used Creme d'Nude on top of any other lipstick (e.g. Nude from Rihanna collection), this is quite surprising for I never expect it to be like this. The thing is, it's still caking up my lips which I mostly encounter with my Nude lipsticks (creamsheen lipsticks). I'm not a fan of lip glosses, I only used Sexy MotherPucker by Soap & Glory, but this one, since it's my first Lip Glass from M.A.C., maybe I'll try to give it more time but who knows? Maybe I might change my preferences as I age XD

Private Party~!

Stuff I used... 'nough said

Private Party is one of the lipsticks I've been looking forward to. It has this dark plummy shade which gains its position as my first plum lipstick. Oh wait, that's my second but... oh well... xD. Since I placed this one with a rather cool reddish tone lip pencil in Beet (which I sometimes use under my Russian Red). The mixture is kind of like that stain that can be seen on your lips when you had too much red wine. I love how it looks and feel. (reminds me of Lulu's lips in FFX too x.x)

So there you have it. I'll try to catch up with my promise of Rihanna's Matte Lipstick in Nude pretty soon. I had tried to mix it with a darker one (tried to imitate Aveline's look from assassin's creed), used Mahogany Lip liner under Nude, and it went ok. But I'll try to recreate the look and post it soon. On the other hand, I will also try to upload these things I bought today and tell you how I feel with it. :)

Thanks for reading~!

Love,

~M~

The end is never happy but...

Hi~!

It's been quite awhile since my last post. Sorry for that, I've been pretty busy within these past few days since my family was here. So yeah, just to keep you updated, this is just a random stuff I thought of at every end of your journey.

Last Tuesday, October 29, 2013, I had my little brothers come here to SG for vacation. I was excited to see them that I woke up early the next day to visit Universal Studios Singapore with them.

For the 5-night stay here in our home, I had been really happy. Like all the bad stuff happened to me, or anything that I feel which is quite negative (I've been having this abdominal pains, vertigo and stuff ^^;), I had to just shove it all up... not mind it... Just enjoy the moment. Like I always did when I go back home.

Parting is quite a sweet sorrow. You'll just have to savor every moment. Not be sad on anything because you are going to be sad. Tomorrow, or for a few more hours, I'll have to say "bye and see you again" to my family. And I'm just getting all emo-ed because of this. I don't know what to say, it's like everything was just yesterday. and now...

It's quite depressing... I don't know if I want to see them off... but oh well, let's see...

Anyways,

Thanks for reading!


Love,

~M~

We'll see each other again soon...
