M.A.C haul!!!

Ooohhh yeaaahhh;) Bought a whole makeup set tonight and costs a bomb and it is the bomb.

Told the sales lady that i was clueless with M.A.C products and makeup. 

& she helped me out; from the primer to the setting spray. lovely.

Ive done months of readings and youtubings as well..

Like how one should stick to either oil based for all products or water based for all products; same goes for the silicon based. There should not be a mixture. This is to allow the makeup to blend and to set in.

And i also opted for mineralize ones so as to be less prone to acnes and breakouts.

Skin Refresher/ Finishing Mist.
Mineralize Satinfinish SPF 15.

Im pretty sure theres a lot of us girls who got mixed up with the makeup steps.

And at times youtube confuses you with too many girls with too many ways, with too many products.

I have to admit i ran away from sales ladies when they started following me around or when they offer help. Maybe because i didnt trust them with their skills or i wasnt planning to buy the items yet.

But that day i was ready to listen and to trust and to splurge. I asked the lady to pick out everything i need  and confessed to her i don't know how to apply them.

Steps to a flawless dewy finish, according to the M.A.C lady,

1) start with a clean face & moisturize

2) apply the primer (Face Protect Protection Visage SPF 50)
    let it primer sets in for 2-3mins.

3) apply the liquid foundation ( Mineralize Satinfinish SPF 15)

4) apply liquid concealer on areas (Select Moisturecover in NW 25)

5) apply the pressed powder (Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Light Plus)

6) spray face to set makeup (Skin Refresher/ Finishing Mist)

my colleague and i were discussing about the makeup application earlier today and the issue was whether to go for  ' foundation then concealer' or 'concealer then foundation'. I did some readings.. & this was what i found..

• Which should go on first, concealer or foundation? Kevyn Aucoin believes in foundation first, concealer second. If you do it the other way round, you’ll rub off the concealer when you put on your foundation. After applying concealer, he sets it by pressing firmly with a lightly dusted powder puff, ‘which works powder into concealer, concealer into base, and base into skin.’

So whats in my makeup bag?

I got 2 'Cath Kidston' Inspired bags to keep my girl soldiers..
These bags are so cheap they are almost free. Pink was from Sasa and White was from Daiso.
Used to carry the bigger one but ever since i had my speedy, i figured i gotta keep it light
or imma break my elbow. So usually i bring along the smaller one...

Lets start off with the lips stuff. Every girl should have 2 extreme tones of lip colour. pretty much to neutralize everything loud on you  or to whip up the mood when ur feeling down.

Kinda Sexy (matte) on the left & Paramount (satin) on the right

And ive got lip pencils too. These colours lie in between. I used em anytime.. 

Just dab them all over the lips n seal it with some gloss.

or.. literally color ur lips, add lip gloss and use tissue to dab off the excess ;)

Ive read about an advantage of using lip pencils.

Unlike lipsticks, lip pencils do not contain oil; which darkens the lips

in the long run.

Here it is.. the diva. What can i say. As red as a red should be..?

A friend of mine persuaded me to own this and honestly, not a tinge of regret.

Its a lipstain that draws a fine line; u can either look oscar or like a raped victim. 

so please make sure it doesnt smudge. ;)

I discovered this lip plumper. More of a lip gloss because i dont see the plumping effect. Neither do i feel the tingling feeling that i was supposed to feel soon after applying. 2/5 for this Rumpy Plumpy ( 1 point for the choco/vanila smell and 1 point for smoothing out my chapped lips) but i swore to myself that i would finish this before hunting for a better lip plumper. Discipline or what.

I have 2 types of eyelash serum. Its still hard to believe that i bought my Rapidlash straight off the counter in Tampines Mall. Thought i have to get it online and there it was thru the glass, staring back at me. I was told to use it every night, applying them to the root of my eyelash. Got it for a hundred. So it will work. stupid i know. but seriously i think it does work. 

The sidekick is the Double-Lash. i discovered this at another shop on the same day. This serum is supposed to be applied to the eyelashes, the same way like the mascara.

Soon i realised i was on the eyelash enhancer spree... koz after that, i went to look for mascara. like.. i really want them to be vavooom! no smudge. fibers would be good. waterproof is a must.

and i found this!

Never leave the house without the eyebrow pencil. Cheap stuff but great. Thick eyebrows could be too strong for a face but keep the shape neutral. young and fresh is the goal. overplucked, thin or archy ones make one look seductive and people like me cannot make it. ill look puffy instead.

For my skin.. i rarely use the powder. Used to cake up my face to cover my acne scars. i remember wishing to have clear skin so that i can allow my skin to breathe without looking so monstrous in public.  Ever since my pimple problem stopped, i embrace exposing my skin. i love how i can see my cheeks turn pink under the sun. and how i can wipe my face anytime,  without worrying about exposing the acne scars under the layers of coverage. and i thank god for that . never knew this day would come.

Now, i use acne clear to treat rare period pimple and and any moisturizer for my dry skin ( at the chin and cheek) and dab on concealer on one or two pimple scars. and thats it;)

The bonus item for me would be the Phyto Hair Balm. Use it to brush off the baby hair from my forehead. i was very much inspired by Kim Kardashian's lasered baby hair. and yes she actually got them removed .she's definitely looking superfly and polished.

And so all i could do is to comb back my baby hair with the balm. ashes to ashes. hair to hair. 

This balm is good. Like water on ur hands. Turns waxy when dry. Non-sticky. No smell. No residue.

The best part.. its FREEEEEEE!!!! got it at Orchard Ion as sample. will buy this once finished;)
