MAC Give Me Liberty of London + Viva Glam Cyndi

hello pretty!!
i hope you're having a fine weekend right now :)


let's start with the things from the give me liberty of london collection, i got me the shell pearl beauty powder and ever hip lipstick.. arr another lipstick from mac.. heehee.. 

it's my first time to try a beauty powder from mac given that i'm just a newbie addict :) at first i was torn between the shell pearl or nars albatross because i'm really lemming for a powder highlighter.. well now we all know who won heehee.. shell pearl won my heart because it has a hint of peach, and i looooove peach on my cheeks :) 

the texture is pretty smooth! i love it ^__^ oh at first i also thought it won't show up on my nc40-42 skintone but it did! gorgeous highlighter! its not very obvious on the picture but its really pretty in actual :)

the ever hip lipstick is a creamy light coral shade from the cremesheen family. i am definitely wearing ever hip more this summer! it looks fresh and light, absolutely my official summer lipstick :)

                                                             •♥•♥•♥•♥•♥•♥•♥•♥•♥•♥•♥•♥

i also got the viva glam cyndi lipstick, its a light reddish coral shade from the lustre family, you know what im starting to love the lustre type of lippies! heehee, im loving the glossiness they bring :) the viva glam cyndi is my type of red, its not shocking, its subtle enough to be worn during daytime (at least for me heehee, im not fond of wearing shocking red lippies) 

im loving the signature design on the tube of the lipstick, kawaii! 

i would love to get viva glam gaga too but i really think the shade is not for me :( however the shade of viva glam gaga is also pretty! so i encourage you to try on the viva glam lippies cause its really worth it for the reason that every purchase of the viva glams goes out to the AIDS fund :)


thanks for stopping by pretty!!

MAC Shy Girl and Creme In Your Coffee

hello!

today i'll share the swatches of mac shy girl and creme in your coffee lipsticks.

shy girl is described by mac as a creamy neutral coral beige shade. it belongs to the cremesheen family, and it gives a good amount of creaminess and coverage :) the shade is not heavy so it gives a pretty neutral look on my lips.

creme in your coffee is also from the cremesheen family. it is described by mac as a creamy mid-tone pink brown shade. i've said on previous post that the shade is quite similar to laugh a lot, dang! im wrong hahaha. creme in your coffee is darker while laugh a lot contains more pink tones. the shade of this lippy is more on the dark side but i think it compliments my skintone just right :)

i love both of the lippies! good coverage and they're not drying my lips. yey!  ^__^ 

i have like three or four more mac posts, 
*hint: viva glam cyndi, liberty of london, mineralize foundation*
so i hope you won't get bored reading my tiny blog heehee...

thanks again for stopping by!!

its a NARS post!

hello pretty!

today i'll be reviewing my new nars blushes and my sheer glow foundation. i got my sheer glow last december but i haven't reviewed it yet... errrr its march already haha. sorry for the super late review. ^_^

lets start with the blushes, i soooo sooo love nars blushes. they really make my cheeks feel pretty,flushed, and glowy. i can't get enough of them haha. that's why i got 2 more, i purchased madly and deepthroat.

madly is a neutral shade blush. it gives my cheeks a pretty color that looks so natural yet it still gives the 'glow' :) 

deepthroat on the other hand is a peach blush with shimmers. i love the color of peach on my cheeks! i think peach is the HG shade for my chubby cheeks heehee. im so loving this shade

                  •♥•♥•♥•♥ ♥•♥•♥•♥•♥• •♥•♥•♥•♥ ♥•♥•♥•♥•♥• •♥•♥•♥•♥ ♥•♥•♥•♥•♥••♥•♥•♥•♥ ♥•♥•♥•♥•♥••♥•♥•♥•♥ 

now ill share my thoughts about the nars sheer glow foundation. im mac nc40-42 and i got the shade of barcelona, its a perfect match for me :) 

love: it moisturizes my dry skin, luminous/glowy finish, it stays on for hours, its very easy to apply and blend. it looks natural on my face.

hate: the packaging sucks, i wish it came with a pump. sometimes it can be cakey around the nose area, maybe im just putting too much heehee.

it doesn't provide full coverage so i still need a concealer for the dark spots on my forehead..  i just cover it with my kryolan tv paintstick and top it with mac msf natural and im good to go :)




overall i love this foundation! it still makes my face look natural and it doesn't make me look like im wearing a mask :) i suggest you try it too!! its expensive but its definitely a worth it product :)


as for the blushes, im loving both of the shades too! i just want to get oasis and the douceur blush from the fall collection and im done with my nars blush lemmings *hopefully* haha :)




thanks for stopping by pretty!!

MAC Spring Colour Forecast Lippies :)

hello everyone!!

oh my, i haven't posted anything for almost a month :c lots of things came up and im busy arranging my apprenticeship this summer. turns out i'll do my apprenticeship in boracay!! im soo excited to stay there for 2 months!! wish me luck hehe..


sooo anyway im still on mac lipstick phase right now :) 
i grabbed 3 lipsticks from the spring colour forecast: fresh salmon, radicchio, and laugh a lot.

all of the 3 lippies are from the lustre family. im quite worried about it cause it doesn't provide  full coverage like the amplified/cremesheen ones. what i like about the lustre type is that it gives  a glossy finish and it doesn't dry out my lips. 

laugh a lot -- when i saw the swatches of the spring colour lippies from temptalia, laugh a lot is the first one that caught my heart hehe. it is described by mac as a mauve pink shade. 
i have to say the shade is quite similar to creme in your coffee. its a pretty everyday l/s for me.

fresh salmon -- described as sheer bright pink orange. this one i really like! it makes my lips look so juicy hehe. the golden shimmers are so cute, they're not huge chunks of shimmers :)

radicchio - sheer midtone blue mauve. i also like this one. at first i thought i can't pull off a plummy lipstick but when i tried it, i was surprised on how wearable it is!! :)

overall, im happy with the 3 lippies i got from the collection :)
i also got other lipsticks from the permanent line that i'll review soon..


see you around pretty!
