Ready for some long-wearing lustre on your lips? I am most giddy to post this up, an upcoming collection by MAC Cosmetics called Lustre Twins!

One side of the product’s Pro Longwear Lipcolor that promises to great staying power, and the other side’s a glossy top coat for that ultimate lustre. Available in nine shades, it’s interesting that they also have a Neoscifi variant in the collection! Aside from that, equally captivating colors of nailpolish are released! Continue reading

The weather’s getting a bit bit colder in this side of the world, and I can certainly feel that summer is just far far away. Metallics have always been associated with cold-weather fashion ( from fall to winter ), and metallic makeup’s edginess never fails to amaze me because they’re not only sexy, they’re so striking and ultra-glamorous as well!

I have a confession. With such bad skin like mine, I have this obsession of perfecting the foundation base, and achieving a very flawless, and luminous complexion. MAC Mineralized Skinfinish products have been a hit worldwide because of its flawless finishes when it is used to set makeup, and now, it’s time for some glow and shimmer to pull of a very sexy bronzed summer look!

Natural and Shimmer. The split personality of powder now, in NewView combinations with superfine seracite and talc base to sheerly and subtly perfect skin with dimensionality and mineralized starshine.The planes of the face, the contours of the body, made dazzling with a one-two sweep.

Mineralize Skinfinish duos are state-of-the-art simplicity, high-resolution finish.

Unlike most powders that are pressed into traditional metal pans, Mineralize Skinfinish is moulded onto small round terracotta tiles and carefully baked for 24 hours, allowing for an exceptionally sheer and light application.The Natural portion of the duo will provide a dimensional yet natural matte-finish, while the shimmer portion will add buffed-up highlights to cheeks and brows, or an overall ultra-deluxe polish to the face.

This unique powder contains vitamin A and E derivatives, which help buffer the skin from environmental aggression and jojoba oil, which calms and soothes the skin.This product can be used on face or body and is appropriate for all skin types.

Dermatologist- and ophthalmologist-tested. Use with the 189 Face Brush.With its rounded paddle and chiselled edges, it’s perfect for precise blending and sculpting.

*Takes a deep breath* well, here it is - what I’ve got for my birthday. Last year, on impulse, I got myself a Macbook and a DSLR Camera for my birthday ( of course, my dad paid for my Macbook and I paid for my camera haha! ). This year, the greatest birthday gift I gave myself was enrolling myself in makeup class - I will never regret this decision I made because I know in my heart that I love, love makeup, and of course, my birthday would not be complete without a beauty loot. A shameful one, actually. Hahaha!

This pre-birthday loot was purchased right after the MAC Bridal Makeup Workshop. I got myself a DUO Surgical Adhesive from the MAC Counter as we were going to be taught on how to apply false eyelashes the day after, Studiolights in Ideal Pink, Sand, ( and the darkest one the next day ) for my creme highlighting and contouring for my finals ( I’ve always wanted to do that ! ), a MAC Prep and Prime for the Eyes for my models, a Makeup For Ever Concealer Palette since I’ve been borrowing Jheng’s Cinema Secrets Concealer Palette at class for the longest time already, and two babies that flew in just in time for my birthday, Continue reading

After a very pretty summer collection of Prescriptives that reminded me of the sun and sea, their Fall Collection , called Daring, is all eye makeup in warm browns, rich sapphire and amethyst tones, muted lips of champagne and rose, and soft focused cheeks of cherry and pink shades. Looks range from alluring and dramatic, to soft and neutral. I just love the subtle smoky eyed look here. And look, they double-lined the eyes! I totally love it! It’s daring without tackiness. It’s Daring with elegance.

Bronze glow. Earth tones. Azure and purple. Sun-kissed beauty. Lush lips. This is what Urban Heat by Prescriptives is all about. My, my, when I saw the picture, my eyes first checked out on how beautiful the eye makeup is - blue ( azure ) and gold is my favorite combo, and it just matches quite beautifully with bronzer and nude, but luscious looking lips!

Prescriptives’ Urban Heat Collection includes the new Colorscope Lip Gloss, limited edition Kohl Pencils, Colorscope Eye Colors, Colorscope Creamy Eye Colors ( as base ), Here To Stay 24 Hour Longwear, and Colorscope Lipwear.

Finally, my nail polish loot arrived already after a long, long time! Haha!

Just last December, I was intensely longing for vivid and beautiful green shades of nail polish. I’ve been endlessly intrigued by the stunning color of green to be worn on the nails. Michelle of All Lacquered Up Girl has worn them quite beautifully, and after my adventure with blues with China Glaze Aqua Baby, China Glaze For Audrey, and OPI Russian Navy ( such a beautiful color! ), I’m all for greens now!

I couldn’t find greens from OPI and China Glaze that were sold online that catered to my fancy, so I opted for Zoya, that had really beautiful greens that they launched for the 2007 Downtown and Utopia Collection. Take a look at my mini stash!

Thanks to MAC, its loyal followers and shopaholics will get to sport flawless, silky, beautiful legs and will want to wear shorts and skirts all the time! I’m most anxious to get this in the counters come May ( in the U.S. ),

A sprayable lightweight gel that unlike your fancy, never drifts.
Brushes lightly and flawlessly over the skin… undetectable.
For the ultimate secret application and smoothest sheen,
try the 179 body buffer brush. Skinsheen leg spray applies like
a soft mousse to provide a quick, highly blendable application
of colour to legs, arms, shoulders and décolletage.

What I love most about Sephora is that when they offer gift sets or collections, the prices will just make you buy. Period. They bundle products into a collection, and slash almost 50% off the pricetag. First, I’ve bought Smashbox’s Master’s Class Collection ( Vol. 1 - Smoky Eyes Set ) , and now, my recent purchase is Cargo Blu Ray Collection. The set sells for $59, but all products, when added up, totals to $130.

Set includes a pressed powder, a blush/highlighter, a mascara, and a primer, and a lipgloss quad.
