The rebirth of my lashes.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. i won't do the same stupid thing which caused my lashes fall out. NO WAY. EVER. hahahaha. MY LASHES HAVE GROWN PRETTILY AS USUAL!! HOHO.
i've never had lots of lashes genetically. but it's okay. im happy. hahaha. i can replace them with my fake lashes. :)

i watched youtube. I've been always wondering why most make-up gurus carry big fat orange mascara thing. i didn't know till one of them mentioned.
It is a COVERGIRL LASH BLAST mascara. They said it's like the best and cheap. well it IS cheap. today bought it from BIG W and it's only 18$ which is not like shu uemuras. 40$ something. OMG.
It's not in a lot of stock. only 3 there, which 2 of them were black brown. I want a true black.
anyway it's a volumising mascara. it's clumping but shu uemura's also clumping. i think the clumps do make the lashes thicker. i don't mind. But this must be combined with my loreal false lash effect which is more like lengthening. I swear i look best if i wear both. I cant wear lash blast coz the wand is so thick it wouldnt get into my deepest roots. I can wear loreal alone but i will look rather unnatural with each of my lash standing so straight separatedly. Lash blast do finalise everything!

and here is me! ohohoho im soo happy. but i don't dare curl them guys. so scared that i might lose them againnn. tis one i just using my lashblast alone. not looking very long.

Anyway. i decided to take my time tooooo. hoho. to MAC STOREEEEEEEEE~ yippie! hahahaha.

Yeah. MAC is really really brutal to my purse. after Hello Kitty collection now it's launching the latest, supercute SUGARSWEET COLLECTION! OMG. im sure my money needs a break too.

OK. this one is not my collection ok. this is someone's. LOOK HOW PRETTY THE COLORS ARE! all about cupcakes, candy, and marshmallows. OMG. sooo prettyyyyyy. im really really impressed with the mineralize skinfinish which is the compact right there, and the lipsticksss!!!

The tricolour lipglasses are FABULOUS though the payoffs are so sheer. The price is more expensive than the regular line though. but it's still prettyyyyyyyyyy................... huhuhuhu loving the first from the right one! Consume me.

Im planning to get the MSF perfect topping coz the colors are just so gorgeous. the payoff is so great for cheeks and highlighting. the final color blends looks like champagne, whitish beige color. so pretty!!! Refined looks amazing too, only it's darker and bronzer. It's so good to create a healthy glow all over your face. i swear it's damn pretty. People said the MSFs are the most satisfying for the Sugarsweet collection.

Im actually craving for the pastel pink Saint Germain lipstick, in which i'd snatch it up if only it isn't sold out yet! :( However i got the lollipop loving which is the orange one. it's a glaze, and it's so pretty. i've never seen such a color could conceal my lips discoloration. so great. it's quite sheer though, so the payoff isn't bright orange. it's soft peach.


Look at their prettiness!!!! omg. The nail lacquers are as great. they are all pastel, which I LOVE. But i don't think i'd buy nail lacquers from MAC. they're bloody expensive!

OK. moving on to my alter-ego.
Last (Monday i think) i went to Westfield, Doncaster with Shinta, Sari, and Gabby. FYI doncaster is super far. We had to catch a bus, and get off at the very last stop. can you imagine how far it is? haha.
I NEVER EVER REGRET GOING THERE. it's my heaven. i found my heaven.....meet my angels there...MYER! HAHA. i visited the MAC store straightaway, and found my cute kitties on display. and guess what. MANY OF THEM WERE STILL THERE!!! THEY'RE NOT SOLD OUT!!!!!!!! OH NO. luckily i still had my money back there. quickly i took 3 items that i've been DYING to get. pinkfish tinted lip conditioner, she loves candy lipglass, and fun and games blush. I actually wanted to get Big bow as well, but my lips are so pigmented already that i don't think i'd make them look more swollen.lol

And here are my MAC Hello Kitty goodies once agaiiiiiin~ Oh so pretty....
I got the sample of SUPER TINY little Popster lip conditioner. Why MAC persons have to be so ungenerously stingy! huh. anyway secretly i 'took' more popster the next day :)

And here's my entire MAC HELLO KITTY COLLECTION!!!!! kyaaaaa~(the brushes excluded)
Enough. Here comes my complaints to MAC.
I trust her after all this time. I always went to her when i need something. OH WHY? She disappoints me! I bought one MSF natural from MAC in Deep Dark, which i plan to use it to contour my cheekbones, and it ended so terrible. it IS a disaster. She and I thought that one could produce more natural looking finish and yes she said that lots of ppl have used it for contouring. I didn't know that we can actually choose normal bronzer for contouring. i took her suggestion.! she should give me MAC blushes not MSF! it is WAY TOO ORANGE for me. omg. i look like wearing a fake tan lotion. so orange. it's not dark it's orange! I was watching videos and tutorials abt contouring and the gurus looked amazing with dark shade contour. I even went to NARS and the woman said that the contour is too orange. Instead NARS bronzer is perfect and popular. i think the name is Lagoona bronzer. it costs $70 which is kinda abnormal. LOL. I BLAME MAC. for my lashes for my cheeks and for my money!

But still i love MAC. hahahaha. Now i realise that before going to the MAC counter i'd have to watch youtube recommendations first. They help a lot!

I bought 2 things which a lot of people said are must haves for MAC.

Ignore the MSF compact. it sucks.
1. MAC studio finish concealer with SPF 30+. I tell you. THIS STUFF IS AMAZING for undereye and blemishes. It is different from other concealers including shu uemura's. The coverage is perfect. This is the most popular concealer so far as i've seen. It comes in different shades in which you'll definitely find the true match for your skintone, which makes MAC a pro :) loving this. Other brands' concealers comes only in three shades: light, medium, and dark which makes it slightly different from your skintone and therefore the makes your imperfection even worse.
2. MAC lip conditioner stick with SPF 15. This is definitely a must have for those who have chapped, dry lips. It moisturises your lips instantly after application. when i mean moisturising it means moisturising from the inside, not only make your lips look smooth and slick. By all means, you can apply concealer straight after this. Concealer dries our lips surface therefore this is a great stuff to use as a primer.

OK. i've never talked about what's inside my makeup bag. This is not permanent since im still a newly addict of make up :) oh ya i just bought this lavender juicy couture makeup bag yesterday and LOVIN IT! sooo pretty! hahaha. it's only $19. fake one of course. If i was a rich girl. nanananannananananaaaa~~~ What i carry usually: Hello kitty sheer mystery powder for touch ups, one lipstick (currently lollipop loving), one lipglass (currently she loves candy), pink fish tinted lip conditioner, my eyetapes (coz they come off easily!), a tissue (to wipe off any mistakes, stain, and smudges), a concealer to redo covering the undereyes and blemishes if they wear off throughout the day, and a brown eyeliner. I find that pencil eyeliner doesn't do well on me as it is very prone to smudge on my bottom lids, even the waterproof one. Therefore i find it necessary to carry just one brown in case my eyeliner smudges really badly that it needs a redo. Heard many people said that MAC eyeliners are the best. well i bought one MAC technakohl and it still smudges although it's the most perfect eyeliner i've bought so far..ARRGH. hate it. Im going to get the MAC liquidlast in coco bar (the brown one) for sure next time. If my sis allows me to. HAHAHA. no budget guys~
MAC liquidlast liners are so purrrfect. Im not buying the black one because i mainly use it for my bottomline and black will be too bold and heavy.

OMG i've written a LOT. haha. it's a sign that i've been so sinful throughout the week. lol
thanks for reading my blog :)

Going back to master my MAC study,

big 'spender' MAC.

Hi guys~

geezz.
I spent money again. Im sure many of you would say they aren't really worth it. hahahah.

MAC Hello Kitty Kouture has come out! and i bought 'it' on the first day. (Im not saying 'them' ok!).
LOOK AT THIS. AREN'T THEY SO PRETTY????????I BOUGHT THE COMPACT POWDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There are Swarovski Crystals embedded on it. SO PRETTY! OMG can't resist buying it. i didn't EVEN TRY to snatch the lipglasses. My mom will be furious. They are EXPENSIVE to the max. I AM REALLY REALLY BROKE. for a pressed powder's sake. JESUS. But the compact can be used forever! it's a gorgeous asset! The lipglasses are cute, accompanied with Swarovski charms. They comes in 2 colors fuchsia and pale pink. I wanna grab the pale pink but never see it in store. HUH. And FYI, the mystery sheer powder stock finishes in 2 days. wow. Australians must be really rich.

Anyway im saving on money now. I buy 2 dollared foods to satisfy my hunger or eat at home instead. heh. this is my beauty sacrifice.

and today i snatched up 2 more things. Strayin' lipstick from MAC Hello Kitty (last one in Victoria!) and MAC paint peintures for eye base in Bare Canvas. THEY ARE AMAZING. i tell you. Strayin' has the signature color of Hello Kitty itself. PINK. very cute pink! I'd been trying on the tester and i'd never thought that it's good on my lips (It is BOLD color) and i initially think that i look like auntie. Even by the time i bought this stuff i still look creepy. But i can't take my eyes off that thing everytime i saw MAC Hello Kitty. So i decided to buy it and play some tricks. I believe that Asians do look good on bold colors!

The problem is that my lips are dark so when i applied strayin' it'll look like dark fuchsia instead of playful pink. So how people on the websites managed to get super cute look with it? They look like barbie, I look like auntie. GRR.

Finally I watched videos from youtube that suggests applying concealer on lips. OMG. this is really working on me! Concealer covers the dark lines so that any lipsticks applied will be much much lighter. OMG. i look like barbie with bubblegum pink lips! *wink* hahahaha.
This picture was captured by my phone camera so the colors are not the actual colors seen on bare eyes. HOHO.

Btw. Forget to tell u guys that i've quit using eyetapes and fake lashes. yeah im afraid that they will make my eyes dirty and another precious lashes fall out again. good reason what? :)
But as you can see im still glamorously glowing as a uniquely asian. (or singaporean?) HAHA *proud*. I enhance my eyes with eyeshadows instead.

MAC paint peintures. firstly i didn't consider buying any eyebase or primer under my eye makeup but i realised that without it the colors aren't really showing, sometimes they smudge..and most of all, every beauty junkie must have one. (spotted on youtube and beauty websites). haha.

I tried that on. AND it's fab. it brightens my upper eye area INSTANTLY, creating natural highlights if you wear it alone. With eyeshadows on the top of it, you will get gorgeous, bold colors as seen in ads. This works similarly as concealer i used on lips. I heard that with MAC paint you can sleep with your makeup on, and when you wake up the it would stay still. hahaha. :)

The problem with MAC paint is that the packaging comes in a tube, so when i squeeze it it won't stop oozing out. It's totally a messy waste coz it dries quickly. can't save it.GRR. Im also loving MAC paint pot, which comes in many shimmery colors. can be used as a base too.! they're really popular actually.(according to youtube). But as a starter i prefer something matte like this Bare Canvas. It's really basic girls you've got to own it. It can be used as concealer under your eyes too!

That's my guilty obsession of MAC recently. I'm sure nobody will understand my spending on those items but if you watch on youtube you'd be surprised of how ppl manage to buy almost all of the collection. hahaha. It's limited edition and it won't come out again!

A steeper path to bimbostic world,
Natasya.
