MAC Me Over Collection Mini Haul!

I don't know this isn't really a haul :)) cause there's only two things from the Mac me over and a brush cleaner :))

So yeah I got Oh,Oh,Oh which is a lustre lipstick.. it looks sooo ugly on the tube

I got Equilibrium which is a satin blush...

Oh yeah and I have to blog about what happened earlier. So i rushed to the mall with my family because of the movie No other woman, and the Mac me over event. My heart was literally going crazy when I got near the store. Some stuff where sold out already and I wanted to swatch everything but my mom was telling me to go eat and watch the movie first. When I finished eating, they told me to get the tickets and while I was out, I rushed back to the Mac counter to purchase equilibrium which was my ultimate must-have product for this collection. I paid for that and told the lady that I'll go back for the others later when I have the time. Which I eventually did. As you know I have been having some money issues so I borrowed some money from my mom's credit card which I will pay tomorrow or this week since she doesn't want me to buy anymore make up cause she said I have a lot already. I honestly think that this collection was a bit of a let down for me. There was no standout for most of the products when swatched, it just looked better on the internet and on somebody else. I didn't get any of the eyeshadows because I just ordered my UD naked palette and is about to order the Sleek i-divine storm palette and I feel like that's enough for my eyes for a year. And the eyeshadows were so small that I can't force myself to pull out that kind of money for it. For the Stunner Blush, I know that it will be one of the sell-outs for this collection, but really I had the chance to get it earlier but I didn't feel the need to. It isn't that amazing and it's highly dupable. I am still thinking of purchasing the 226 but I don't know if i can think fast enough because there were only two left and for sure it's already sold out on other branches since they launched earlier. The lipglasses were okay but I didn't think I need it. I loved social light though. The lipsticks were fine but I didn't like the dark colors and I also didn't see runaway red so maybe it's sold out already.

I didn't get anything from the COLOURIZATIONS and STYLEDRIVEN collection just because I didn't have that palpitating must-have-this feeling about it. I liked the eyeshadows though because they were big and is the pro-longwear collection.

Separate reviews and swatches for the 2 things (Oh,Oh,Oh and Equilibrium Blush)

The day I lost my itouch :(

yeah... that awesome (insert sarcasm) day was today. *sigh* I don't really know what happened to it .. whether it got stolen, or i left it somewhere, or it fell.. i don't know. It was just impossible. It was in my bag, I didn't commute, I didn't really go places today... I just went home and checked my bag for my itouch cause I had to harvest my crops for smurfs village.. but it wasn't there.. I went to my friend's house to check if i left it in her car.. It wasn't there. I took the cab and went back to school to go ask the guards from southgate, the do, the lost and found, my governa classroom, 5th floor washroom, egi, 2nd floor william photocopying place, 6th floor polsci department.. It was nowhere to be found :( Now I feel really really bad because my brother saved up to get me that and it was just too sad because it was only 4 months old. It would have been a little less heartbreaking if I bought it myself, but it was a gift for my 18th birthday and it was a really nice one too.. Now its gone and I'm planning to save up to get myself a new one. :( I'll keep checking though.. maybe some good person would have the heart to return it. I've always believed that Lasallians aren't scavengers.#hartbroken #depressed

no more pictures from a great night with my friends, no mure smurf village, no more fashion story, no more zombie farm, no more notes, no more shopping list, no nothing :(

The Body Shop: Eyelash Curler

I finally got a lash curler! hahaha.I'm a loser cause I was afraid of eyelash curlers. I've always thought that these were torture devices in the name of beauty. kbye. surprisingly, this did not hurt me at all and it did made a difference. This is the Body Shop's eyelash curler.Im not really sure if it claims to do anything other than a regular eyelash curler but I don't know it just works for me. I've googled reviews for this but I couldn't find any. All I could find was the other version which had a rubber grip at the end and has white pads and the metal has the body shop written on it. Kinda sad that this didn't have that label but oh well. I was supposed to get the shu eumura one but I reconsidered cause I was just starting out and lash curlers might not be so friendly. I was also considering getting the elf eyelash curler but I chose the body shop because it looks pretty and thin. Next buy would be a nice mascara (I don't use those either cause I'm such a pussy).

---I am sooo excited to get my pre-ordered things! (naked palette, 4 sleek blushes)
---So excited for my visit to the MAC at Rustans to check out the stuff from the MAC me Over collection before it runs out. It was officially released last saturday (09/24).
---I have a long list of stuff to buy like NARS blushes, eyeshadow duos, cindy sherman, fall colour and posh paradise collection,mememe cosmetics, urban decay 15th anniversary palette and the new book of shadows.. After I get all this I promised myself that I would go on a make up diet. Will boycott getting new things for atleast 3 months. Which would obviously translate as an eternity for me but I know I have to do it because even though I feel like I really don't have a lot, I still want to get through all of them cause I hate wasting money. Right now I'm going through my powder back ups, I have one more back up left and I'm pretty happy about that because then I would have the excuse to purchase a new one which is exempted from the make up diet plan :>

MAC lipstick in Captive

I went to MAC two days ago to check if the Mac me over collection was already available, sadly the lady told me that they would have it on October 1 which was different from Trinoma's release (September 25) and Rustan's (September 17). I might go to Rustan's to get the stuff early or just save up more and wait. So anyway, I didn't want my trip to go to waste so I browsed through the lipsticks hoping to find a nice not-so-dark plumy berry shade and immediately, captive caught my eye. I put it on and it looks pretty nice on me, and it brought a little life to my face. I'm don't usually go for dark lipsticks cause pinks and peaches are my thing but this is so awesome and refreshing. It is a satin and it isn't drying although it does have tendencies of bleeding so I think it would look better with a lip brush or paired with a lip liner. I swatched it the other night to compare it to craving which is a another mac lipstick. It looked really similar but craving has a red undertone whereas this one has a more pink undertone.This color kinda has a mature feel to it and It's just a good face brightener.

NYX Eyeshadow Trios and Slide On Eyeliner

I got very delight which has an orangey champagne shade (chalky), a dark brown and a great white highlight color.

I got TS11 which is the orange/golden orange/ peach

I got the slide on, glide on,stay on & definitely a turn on waterproof. extreme shine eyeliner in Jetblack.

I got some nyx stuff three days ago but I forgot to put em here :)) I've been using them and they are just awesome and inexpensive. For the eyeshadow trio you can use them for up to 12 months same with the eyeliner, and what I really love about this is its cruelty free, it has that PETA bunny on it :D The products are very pigmented and it lasts all day I don't know if my mac paint pot helped or what but I don't know I just really like it. One of the colors in the very delight trio is a bit chalky but once blended it'll be fine :) The eyeliner, I cannot say enough good things about it. It's very dark, it stays put, does not melt/smear/whatever on your face and it's very creamy so it won't harm your eye skin or whatever you call that :)

MAC Me Over Collection Craving: Shopping List!

Okay i changed my mind about the eyeshadows. I found exact dupes for all of it from etude house, nyx and coastal scents warm palette. The only eyeshadow that cannot be duped is outre. But some say that it has a dupe from double feature 4 from mac. Lady grey quad also had dupes from my collection.

So my final list will be: outre, equilibrium

The add ons might be: stunner, moleskin

This collection is crazy -_- From what I've read, they will be releasing 51 items for this collection divided in 3 parts. They pretty much covered ground. They have lipglasses, eyeshadows, cream color bases, lipsticks, blushes, the coveted 226 brush ,etc. I bet everyone can find something they like in this collection especially because those shades look very wearable and nothing too crazy.

So I made my shopping list for this collection. I tried my best to narrow it down because MAC is an expensive brand, I'm a student and my mother does not really support my make up addiction. (0_o). I went through my collection to see If I can find stuff that is pretty much similar to some stuff in the collection so I can ignore those and get what I don't have. I went really crazy last night, slept for like 5am just looking at swatches and finding out when this collection comes out in the Philippines. September 2011 was the scheduled release but I called MAC earlier and they told me that it was OCTOBER. Bittersweet really, I have time to save up and add a few things on my list, but I do want to own those this month.

THE MAYBE LIST:

(I will definitely get the ones with * )

Blushes:
Stunner Blush
Equilibrium Blush * (Will use this for a soft contour)
Fleur Power Blush

226 Brush

Lipsticks:
Oh oh oh L/S *
Rebel L/S
Offshoot L/S
Runway Red L/S *

Fluidline:
Avenue

Cream Color Bases: (Never tried CCBs)
Seaside *

Eyeshadows:
Carbonized E/S *
Mythical E/S
Lady Grey E/S Quad
Moleskin E/S

Shadesticks: (Might get this just because I wanted an on-the-go eyeshadow thing)
Streetcool
ButterNutty

This week I will pick a maximum of 5 items that I will purchase from this collection. I will limit myself to 5 because I already saw the next collection which is the Cindy Sherman one and the Posh Paradise which I haven't seen but just the name itself appeals to me so I must save up for those.

What I got today: FOREVER 21, GARNIER, MAGAZINES

I went to Megamall with my mom and auntie today. Went to the gym then bought some stuff. I got a pretty fitted tube dress for my graduation pictorial from forever 21, I got this month's cosmopolitan magazine and Blush magazine which I was pretty happy about because the blush magazine was hard to find. I also got the Garnier Light BB instant fairness eye roll-on.

This BB eye roll on claims to give an amazing fresh look and is a total solution in a flash. It has lemon essence and caffeine, it does not crease and gives a nude coverage using mineral pigments. It also claims to be longlasting. This can be used for 6 months.This will make your undereye area Fairer, more radiant, more even-toned, with less dark circles, less dark spots, it will look fresher, smoother, less tire, more hydrated and it can also tighten. Don't know if this does work, I swatched and it is blendable,sheer coverage and this cannot be used by women of color as it is too light even if they claim that it will sink in to the skin. xo. XO.
