I used to switch spelling Mac (computers) with MAC (make-up). Apparently, it all depends on the capitalization of the three initials. I love them both – swear by the quality of both products but Industrial computers are no match to the ferociousness of these beauties – of course you know I am only joking.
The collection is in three parts: Burmese Beauty (netural–some shades can work on warm or cool undertones), Palace Pedigreed (cooler undertones), and Leopard Luxe (warmer undertones).
The collection debuted last August 26th. You can see the list of items per collection with corresponding prices here, but here is a pallette for you to see:
I am very intrigued with the new Rogue Volupte Lipsticks. I have been looking for new shades as my current stocks are running out and this time I am going to be going back to my favorites: browns and deep reds!
Reviews say they are so incredibly creamy and glossy plus come in shades for everybody no matter your skin tone or age. Though the $34 price tag may make some insane, it’s a nice little treat for lipstick lovers all over.
I got my eye on Sweet Honey, Red Temptation and Ultimate Beige!
As if the Disney Princesses were commercialized enough, Disney grants MAC access to use its memorable villains for a limited edition make-up line, debuting on September 30th, with prices ranging from $12 to $29.50.
The series of products include lipstick, pressed powder, lip gloss, blush, etc.
The line is called Venomous Villains -
There will be a total of 40 bold hues in the collection, consisting of lipstick, powder, lip gloss and blush shades, ranging in price from $12 to $29.50, and divided into four collections emblazoned with the characters’ images.
Disney gave us the colors used when these characters were drawn throughout their history,” said Jennifer Balbier, vice president of product development for MAC, noting that Cruella and the Evil Queen share more “real woman” shades, such as red lips and peachy blush. Maleficent is “pure fantasy,” said Balbier, noting that offbeat purples, blackened shades and pearlized nails were used. Dr. Facilier headlines the new Magically Cool Liquid Powders. “This is a featherlight powder that goes on like a mist and either sets or enhances foundation, but also lends dimensionality on naked skin,” said Balbier.
I am thinking this will be a very dark and rich make-up line, don’t you think so?
My sister told me about this product after she saw my aunts going crazy over it. She swears there were REAL results, meaning the lashes really grew longer. It is sold in most department stores you might want to try it. I did my own research (you can learn anything online, even the recommendation for the best fat burner!) and here is what I came up with:
L’Oreal 24-Hour Lash Boosting Power System promises bigger lashes in 4 weeks. For day, use the 2-Step Mascara with Lash Boosting Primer. For night, use the Concentrated Lash Boosting Serum. Day after day lashes appear longer, thicker, and multiplied. Night by night, lash health improves: fortified, nourished, strengthened.
Do you want to have sun-kissed skin?
I think it’s first time MAC steered away from their usual packaging too – very attractive:
It has been a dream of mine to be able to apply make-up on myself well. I want to be able to prettify myself without needing to go to the salon. And I want to know how to apply make-up with different looks. There was a time when my friends and I got addicted in buying make-up and brushes – we actually literally hoarded. We also subscribed to a lot of how to videos in YouTube. Xteener and Michelle Phan are my YouTube make-up gurus. Their instructional videos are very easy to follow and since they are fellow Asians, their make-up tricks benefit me who have small eyes. Yellow-based skin also have different reactions to color and foundation need to be compatible so their product recommendations are something I look forward to. Plus, they recommend tools that are not necessarily expensive!
I need my Glider Pens!
I finally found a shade perfect for olive-skinned beauties. Its called Russian Red (from MAC). Full lips will surely benefit from this show-stopping beauty that people are sure to require roadside assistance if ever they would have to take a second look when you pass on the road.
Check out the celebrities that wear Russian Red:
Christina Aguilera and Kim Kardashian are also fans of this red lipstick.
I have this on my to-buy list once I have my stack of lipsticks down to 40%!
On 09.09.09 (September 9, 2009), all regular ELF products in Watson’s will be available for only P99.
I personally have tried E.L.F (Eyes.Lip.Face) and would recommend it for those who are looking for cheap but quality (and nice) make-up!
