MAC Lipsticks: Creme Cup, Creme de la Femme, Hue, Pervette Swatches, Photos

There is nothing I like more than throwing my money in for MAC lipsticks. Bored? Get MAC lipstick. Celebrating? Get MAC lipstick. Another red, but more orange this time? Go to MAC. No matter what colour or look you're going for, MAC will have it.

A few months ago I went into MAC and got four more lippies in Creme Cup, Creme da la Femme, Hue, and Pervette. I really wanted to get just some nudes but I haven't heard a lot of people mentioning Creme de la Femme and Pervette so I swatched them and bought them home with me. I don't regret any of the four purchases.

Standard packaging in black cardboard box

Sleek, rounded bullet shape with subtle metallic silver microsparkles distributed throughout

Definitely my most worn of the bunch, Creme Cup is a pale milky pink nude

Creme de la Femme is a gorgeous unique colour, a dusty medium rose mauve

Hue, go-to nude. I like that it doesn't make me look malnourished...

Looovee!

Fireflies

 

Hello ^-^ I unwilling got dragged out to watch Ted last night. I saw the trailer for it some time ago and thought it was pretty lame but the actual movie was pretty good, albeit with some really overused cliches and stereotypes and a lot of cultural references. I thought the teddy bear (before it became the Ted) was soo cute.
Afterwards as we sat on the balcony there were so many fireflies! I never see any in Toronto and being a city girl I thought they were awesome haha ~

 Went to the library today to study~ became so sleepy at one moment I resorted to camwhore

Later I got bored waiting in the car..I really loved my makeup today using Naked Palette II, UD makes amazing eyeshadows

Toodles!

Shiseido Sunscreen Stick in Transparent: Review, Swatches, Photos

Hello again! This is the third and final Shiseido sunscreen that I will be showcasing and it is equally a favourite of mine! This little guy comes with me everywhere everyday in my makeup case and never fails me.

It looks like an oblong lip balm, but it's less waxier and more creamy, and much more opaque.

When this goes onto your skin, it will definitely leave a white cast. On my already fair skin, I think it looks natural still, but if you are NC25 and above, it may not look so good, so go to Beige.

A heavy swatch.

Today was a 'renovating' day. Putting up curtains and mirrors and all sorts of hard labour. Now I have a hugeo mirror where I can do my makeup properly ^-^

The general area..

I've also been doing a lot of cooking trying to conserve my money and health but eating in more.

 Mussel buckwheat soup noodle from a few days ago

 Our dinner yesterday

Barley, lentil, and rice porridge

My favourite dish in the whole world, fried eggs and tomatoes with LOTS of sugar and smushy tomatoes~~!

Curry broccoli tossed with purple onions

Bye! Off to cook more food

Recent New Products

Here is where I am now, and all my beauty products that have hauled with me

F21 heart earrings, will go nice with a white dress

MAC brow set...

...in Beguile. The bristles of the wand are so thin and soft so the finish is natural and even.

My favourite brow pencil, Shu Uemura Hard Formula, seal brown. You can never overdo it with Hard Formula

Sharpened to signature naginata sword point

Bought this at the new Holika Holika store at Pmall. I never expected an asian market concealer to be so opaque. I've always used MAC concealers and this one is on-par. Covers faint freckles and scarring seamlessly and stays put. Thumbs up ^-^

An Update with Lots of Pictures

I feel it's been so long since I've written anything substantial my language has been dumbed down considerably, thus my neglect for this blog. I apologize to anyone of average intelligence reading this...

I've been MIA because I went to China for a few weeks, and then I did a little temporary move to a city 4 hours from Toronto for a summer course. I no longer have my beloved light box with me as it was too delicate and bulky to transport, and so now I have a makeshift makeup station (named the Bookcase) and a photography corner (aka the Kitchen Table).

Here's some of my favourite pictures from China:

Toronto Pearson International Airport on departure day...so gloomy

Stayed in Shanghai for a few days during 'gao kao', all the kids and parents were so stressed!!

Beautiful, clean, tree-lined street in my hometown of Yantai. Below are all Yantai

Hi-rises and pedestrian walkway beside the ocean.

The beach at dusk

The garden at my grandmother's retirement home. Isn't it gorgeous? They have a peacock, some dogs, and bunnies in there as well. So cute~

That's all for this post, blogger is hating me today...
