MAC Mineralize Blush - Improvise

When MAC Colour Craft comes out with a range of mineralize blusher, my heart skips a beat. Well, everyone knows how much I love my blushers and MAC Dainty mineralize blusher have been my ultimate favourite.

I was torn with choice and end up getting Improvise, with some help form Ai-Lynn who drops by.

It's definitely a nice colour to have and own. I guess I haven't fall head over heels for it yet. My house lighting does not help at all. I definitely love it's peachy light coral colour thought albiet a little shimmery.

Glowy or Shiny? I can't help feeling a little glittery when I wear it out on the noon. Better for night though and no MSF needed. :)

Can it beat Dainty? Definitely not, can be improve (pun intended.)

L to R - Dainty, Improvise.

Improvise definitely looks more coral and less pinkish when compare to Dainty. One more to add into my blusher collection. Well some girls love lipgloss, my love lies on blusher... heh

MAC Fluidline - Blacktrack

I had finally got MAC fluidline! and it is one word. A.w.e.s.o.m.e. No idea why I have waited so long to get a gel eyeliner as an eyeliner lover. sigh. Also thanks to Ai-Lynn for getting it for me and bring to Aussieland!

The colour I got is blacktrack, which is a rich matte black. No doubt about it.Tried comparing with my other black eyeliner and they fall way behind.

left to right - MAC Fluidline, Shu Uemura liquid eyeliner, The Body Shop eyeliner

With one swipe, MAC fluidline beat my Shu Uemura liquid one which I applied two swipes. As for TBS one.. sigh it doesn't even look black next to them.

I have tried wearing fluidline for a couple of days and wore it for 12 hours and it hardly fade. As for the lower eyeliner (especially waterline) it only lasted a couple of hours. Can't complain nothing last on my waterline more than a couple of hours even Shu Drawing Pencil.

Definitely will want to try more gel eyeliner :)

MAC Petticoat MSF

I finally got MAC Petticoat!!!! *scream and jump around*
that's how I feel when I got it from Fifi! Nothing feel that good when you get something from your make up wishlist.. haha


When I got it, I can't stop looking at it and caressing the case... I have been looking for it when it was re-launch again but unfortunately none in KL.

It's so beautifullllll, look at the veins and everything!


without flash and toilet lights. Look! it don't even look washout without flash.


I tried to swatch it but my camera and room lightning can't capture it nice enough.. sigh.. I hope the veining doesn't go off easily. My heart will ache..

I can't resist and tried comparing with my MAC Redhead MSF

With flash, Redhead looks more shimmery compare to Petticoat. hehe thats good, means I won't look like a discoball at all! Petticoat also looks more pinkish compare to Redhead which is leaning towards more golden/coral side?

happy sigh. first time I crossed out something from my wishlist.. hehe whee

Gifts.

I was given a set of MAC brushes last November and I have a habit that I don't open them up and put them to best use. I think I rather not dirty them. One day, when I am ready; I might use them.

You can say, I am probably the most not up to date with make up collection. I am the type of person - I see, I like, I can pull off ka ching I buy. I hardly buy expensive make up. But I always ended with a few of them. ;) (thank you warehouse sale!)

Tonight, I want to share this. It will probably take me some time to start using this but I will try.



This is a gift from a colleague that I sort of helped her out for 2 months. She gave me this and this got me excited.




Hello Kitty, My name is Too Dolly.






Hello colours, welcome to new home. ;)

Like I say, I am not ready to use them yet. Hence, no swatches. :(

MAC Technakohl Earthline

I don't really spend much on MAC eventhough they look extremely lovely, the price in Malaysia is too expensive... However I got my first MAC technakohl from the Estee Lauder Warehouse two years back. A pretty good warehouse sales I would say.


When I first got this liner, I like it. Easy to apply, the colour comes out easily. Don't smudge and long lasting.


But I grow to love it more when I know how natural it looks and especially when people tell me I look good with it. A couple of times :):)


So yeah, I finished the first one and repurchase. One of the first few make up that I actually repurchase. The original price is about RM62. Well worth it as I love the colour and its quite natural looking. Definetely a good investment.

MAC Redhead MSF

I have been wanting this MSF since I saw the promo pics online from Temptalia. Most of the time, I just look at those promo pics, lemming it and then forget about it because its too expensive.

When I saw this launch in Malaysia, I can't resist trying and get it. At first I can't decide between the Redhead MSF or Blonde MSF. After some advice from the MA, Bf and self. I finally get the Redhead, after all that what I wanted at first. I know I am no where near a redhead. haha


I have always wanted an MSF but never justified myself to buy it. Since this have 4 different colour on it. Why not.

With flash (the colour is slightly darker in real life)


MSF or Mineralize Skinfinish is quite an interesting thing. Slightly frosty or shimmery. Ok my explanation sucks, here goes from MAC, 'A luxurious velvet-soft powder with high-frost metallic finish. Smoothes on: adds buffed-up highlights to cheeks and brows, or an overall ultra-deluxe polish to the face.' I personally won't use it for an all over face colour too shimmery I think.. More like a dash here and there or as a blusher or cheek highlight.

Here the swatch of colour from the lightest goldish colour to the slight peachy pink.


Meanwhile this is the swatch when I rub all the colour together. My camera sucks.


To my suprise, the MSF is pretty huge.


I would love to have more MSF but I doubt I could finish this one anytime soon.

V'day present

My Valentine's day present for myself



MAC Redhead MSF and MAC Technakohl Earthline (it is the bomb, this is my second stick.)

Review later. :)

Blushers

I really have no idea how some beauty blogs can be so dedicated and post up stuff everyday. Lucky they do or else I will have to read miserable finance news or something.

I think I was bored one night and start swatching all my blushers on my arm.

1. The Body Shop Sun Lustre Bronzer
2. Lancome Blush Subtil (casing faded, no colour name)
3. MAC Dainty
4. TBS Sun Lustre Bronzer + Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge Pale Pink
(I got to mixed a new colour :) )
5. Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge in Pale Pink
6. Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge in Pink Truffle

I think the blusher that I currently utilise the most is MAC Dainty.

Easy application and the colour pay off won't be too heavy for work. As you can see from the swatches its actually one of the lightest. I love it as it give me this sort of glowing, natural no blusher look without looking pale. (or so I think it does... )

My second runner up would be between Lancom Subtil or BB Pot Rouge.

This two pic I capture is closes to its real colour.

I love Lancome one for its easy application as its powder form but it can be quite pigmented but if applied lightly, its look pretty peachy and pretty.

For BB, don't let the pink scares you! ok it scares me a bit too last time. Since its a cream blush, the application take a little more time as it need to be blended. Once blend nicely, I look like I have a healthy dewy flush, none of the other blushers give me that type of dewy look. One pot goes a long way too...

After

See not too bad right? :)

Blusher can be such a pretty thing sometimes.

I can't wait to lay my grubby little fingers on NARS Blushers. Oh and Majorlica Majorca and and and MAC Petticoat! ok and the list goes on.
