New Lip Combo :)

hello everyone!

i hope you're having a fantastic monday ^_^ 

let me share a new lip combination that im really loving right now. its MAC Shy Girl lipstick topped with NARS Chelsea Girls lip lacquer. i have to admit, im not a fan of MAC Shy Girl l/s before because i thought the shade is not a good match for me but i think im starting to like it.:))  plus my Shy Girl melted a bit on its tube that's why i don't use it that much. :c

however when i got chelsea girls few weeks ago, i thought that it would be a nice gloss on top of shy girl.. they almost look the same, its just chelsea girls has more pink tones while shy girl has more peachy tones.
chelsea girls also looks milky when applied and i like the effect it gives :)

 

it definitely looks a lot better in real life :)) haha.

have a fabulous month of August pretty!

MAC Mineralize Spf15 Foundation

not so long ago, MAC released a new foundation. its the Mineralized SPF15 Foundation, they claim that this foundation will give a flawless finish and it will provide super hydration for the skin. its a cream type and it offers light - medium coverage. 

when i first applied this foundation, i didn't like it that much. but when i used it for the second time, i think im starting to like it a bit more.. it gives a nice dewy finish but my nose really gets oily after some time :( i have combination skin and im glad that this product keeps my dry cheeks  hydrated and that it has spf 15 for sun protection. it doesn't feel heavy on face, its very light.. really easy to blend. it does cover those little blemishes but the coverage is not enough to hide the acne spots on my forehead. and thank goodness it doesn't give me pimples cause if it did, it will just be a total waste of moolah :)

the shades however are a bit darker than the studio fix powder.. i wear NC42 on the studiofix while im NC40 here on mineralize spf15 foundation.the foundation comes with a sponge, but i prefer to use it with a foundation brush. for me this product is an "okay" product. i don't loooove it but i think its okay for everyday use. for now i think i won't repurchase. but i don't know maybe after more uses of this foundation, i might get hooked and i'll fall madly for it haha.. 


here's a close up of my face wearing the foundation, im also using NARS Cactus Flower here as my blush heehee :) the foundation doesn't look that good on the picture but it's pretty decent in real life haha..

that's it for today! Happy Easter pretty!

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!!

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!

mac lippies! :)

hello pretty! 
today i'll share my thoughts on my new mac lippies, i got two from my aunt and i got another one from a swap i had with sis paola :) i'm really excited with these babies cause i'm on a lipstick phase right now!! i got attracted by lipsticks so easily heehee. ~~

the shades that i got are speak louder, fanfare, and high tea.
speak louder and fanfare are from the cremesheen family, i love love the finish! its creamy and it gives full color with a hint of gloss. i find them moisturizing too! :) 

high tea on the other hand is from the lustre family, its also glossy but it gives a sheer to medium color pay-off. i don't like sheer lippies cause the pigmentation of my lips are really uneven and i would love to veil it up.but then the lustre finish is buildable so it does have coverage. not full but its alright. :)


swatches:

speak louder

clean poppy blue pink -for me this is a hot pink with hints of red. i don't know if i can pull this off but i really love the color!! its sexy yet cute :)

fanfare

mid tone yellow pink - this is a tamer pink shade that compliments my skin :) 

it effortlessly brightens my face.

high tea

beiged pink with pearl - its a nice everyday nude lippy with hints of pink but i wish it has more coverage :)

now my next target from the permanent line of lippies are spice is nice, kinda sexy, and angel.

but right now im soooo lemming for this one!! :) its the mac viva glam cyndi heehee.

i love lady gaga but im afraid that the viva glam gaga shade won't suit me :(

have a nice week end pretty!!

happy valentine's day and happy chinese new year everyone!! woohoo~~

MAC Warm Me Up is Love!

i love love the shade of this lipstick when i first saw the swatch of it on temptalia's site.
but my lemming for this faded away after a few weeks. i dont know why hehe.

then last week, i saw this on girltalk's beauty bazaar for just Php600. i grabbed it right away!
good thing i did!! cause its really pretty ^__^

loves: the amplified cream finish is so nice. its very smooth to apply and it gives my lips an opaque color. w/c i love cause my lips have uneven pigmentation :) the shade is neutral pink with peach tones, it does go well with my nc42 skin. it does not wash me off or anything and it doesn't look boring. i love pairing it with nars sweet revenge gloss for more ooomph! hehe
hate: its a limited edition shade. bummer :(
swatches:

here's a picture of me wearing the warm me up l/s..

im also wearing nars sheer glow foundation on this picture :)

now im loving mac lippies. i just ordered 6 lippies last night haha. 

and oh, im on a no-buy mode starting today for 2 weeks. God please help me :) :)
i have plenty of packages coming this february and march. 
i can't wait to receive them!!

MAC Angelwing + Nyx Rose :)

hello there!

first of all i want to greet everyone

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!! 

 i wish everyone a blissful christmas and a rockin' new year! :) 

for my post today, i'll share the items that i got from swapping.

i swapped my mac brave l/s for a mac angelwing lustreglass

and my nyx circe l/s for a nyx rose l/s..

im actually happy with both of the items i got!!

let's take a look at them one by one

mac angelwing lustreglass

 its a unique plum/purple color with gold shimmers

it really looks scary on the tube, at first i thought i couldn't wear this one..

but when i tried it on my lips, the color is more sheer and subtle.

its really nice!

 too bad its a discontinued shade from mac :(

i like its sticky-ness because it stays on my lips for a long time :)

im thinking of purchasing more of mac's lustreglass heehee

swatches

nyx round lipstick in rose

this one is a nice reddish-pink shade :)

when i swatched it, i thought its semi frosted but when i applied it on my lips

it does not look frosted at all heehee

but i love the shade!

as usual, i love nyx lippies because they're very pigmented and easy to apply

but again, i wish they last a little longer on my lips :)

swatches

that's it for today heehee.

again, happy holidays pretty!!
