Colourful Makeup This Fall With M.A.C x Rossy de Palma Collection

| |
Hi Huneybees,


I've been running around like a busy little bumble bee, that I almost missed this new collection by M.A.C. Inspired by the uniqueness of Spanish actress/model - Rossy de Palma, comes this colorful collection that will definitely paint a rainbow for you this Autumn.


Rossy de Palma’s strikingly unique, Picasso-esque beauty and uninhibited, creative soul has made her one of Spanish art, fashion and cinema’s most original muses and collaborators. Now, her joie de vivre is captured in her M∙A∙C colour collection. Special packaging takes on new meaning with inspiration drawn from Rossy’s romantic glamour, and palettes featuring her eyes, nose and lips come together to form an invincible Cubist vision.


Due to Rossy's striking profile, she has always been known as a "Picasso painting come to life", being the muse of designer Jean Paul Gaultier and acclaimed film director Pedro Almodóvar. Her je ne sais quoi has been captured in this collection with a special holographic packaging that draws attention to her unique style and also a Cubist style reminiscent of her gorgeous features.


So, let's take a look at the collection.




For Lipsticks, there are supposedly 4 shades, but 1 special shade is only available online. What's in stores is Rossy (dirty mauve purple), Self Esteem (bright clean red) and Frenesi (bright red fuchsia).


Other than the individual lipsticks, there is also the Indimenticabile Lip Gloss Trio, where you can play with lip colours, mix and match them for different looks. 



Featuring Soft Dream (bright fuchsia pink), Plum Bite (a deep plum) and Velvet Me (cherry red). 



For cheeks, they have 2 daring Powder Blush shades - Pink Desire (dirty blue pink) and Red Envy (dirty red) that will give your cheeks that pop of colour whilst complimenting the eyeshadow shades in the collection.



To achieve those high cheeks and nose bridge, there is the Nose Pose Cream Colour Base Duo. Featuring Africa Dream (soft yellow nude) and Morocco (soft warm chocolate). It is a cream base, so I wasn't very keen on this palette though, but the shade works great for light to medium tan skin tones.

Here's the highlight - Colours on the Verge Veluxe Pearlfusion Shadow. There are 5 shades in this palette and I'm loving every single one!


Pinky (bright pink), Money (soft green with pearl), Deep (dark blackened navy), Charcoal (black with multi-colored pearl) and Smoke (soft lilac).


The other eyeshadow palette is the My Moon Eyeshadow Duo, that features Luna Llena (frosty white) and Luna Noire (matte black). 


Luna Llena makes a good highlighting shade and I use Luna Noire for eyeliner too!



Lastly, we have the Glitters that are definitely party ready. Get them either in - Red (vibrant shimmering red) or Reflects Turquatic (sparkling bright blue that's so mermaid inspiring)!




So, which ones are you eyeing on? Be ready to channel your inner chic Spanish actress and indulge in this sophisticated, bold collection this Fall. 💋

[Tried & Tested] My Must Get M.A.C Product For Fall/Winter 2015

| |
Hi Huneybees,


Before I was whisked off to Australia, I managed to check out a new launch by M.A.C Cosmetics. This is for the ladies who are infatuated with lip colours and are looking for a fully pigmented lip gloss.

Named as Vamplify, there are 16 electrifying lip shades to be paired with 12 shades of lip pencil color. There was suppose to be a 17th shade - She-Rebel, but sadly it didn't make it into the Singapore market. WHY?! I was super amped about this blue shade and rushed down to the store early morning only to find that it is not launched here!!!


For Fall/Winter 2015, lip gloss is back and with the Vamplify shades, you can forget about that sticky feeling and it is no more just a top coat for your lip sticks! It has the opacity of a liquid lipstick, the sheen of a gloss, and the texture and staying power of a traditional lipstick. After swiping each stick, I'm seriously considering throwing out my lipsticks in exchange for these babies.
There are nude shades to shocking colours and I was really taking a super duper long time to decide which shades to get... Well, here's the swatches of the Lipglosses (which I might have missed out a couple in the midst of the mess) and Pro Long Wear Lip Pencil, hopefully, that will help you decide on that purchase faster...





In addition, the long and wide doe-foot applicator provides ample coverage in one swipe, while the tapered tip allows you to draw a precise line around the perimeter of your lips. It's basically like a glossy lip liner and I've been using them on my Australia trip. You can wear them alone or have them as a colour changer on top of your lip sticks. 

Little Miss Mischief
What's Going On?
How Chic Is This?

Modern Drama

Oh and did I mention that they are very moisturising as well?! Whenever I go to a cold climate country, my lips would chap and hurt by the third day, but this time round, my lips didn't even crack and I didn't even have to use my lip balm!
I think they should make the Vamplify lip glosses their permanent line, but before that is happening, you better be heading down to the M.A.C counters today as they come in limited quantity and won't be staying here for long!

Here's leaving you with my looks with Little Miss Mischief, What's Going On?, How Chic Is This? and Modern Drama, each emoting a different feel for different trend...

[Tried & Tested] Melt Hearts With The All New Too Faced Love Palette

| |
Hi Huneybees,


“Every great love starts with a great story...You are the answer to every prayer I've offered. You are a song, a dream, a whisper, and I don't know how I could have lived without you for as long as I have.” -  Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook 
I'm getting super psyched as September draws nearer and nearer, not only does it mean it's time for my birthday celebration, it's also time for Autumn. To me, Autumn equals time for a slightly heavier hand on makeup, I can start using my darker shades of eye colour and lipsticks. YAY!!!!

So, following my previous posts on the new Too Faced products, here's another to fall in love with - The Love Palette. 15 silky eyeshadow shades in shimmer, pearl and matte finishes,  passionately made for you to create your very own Fall/Winter love story with endless eye look combinations.


Utilizing a new formula - Slurry Powder Technology, these shades are a hybrid between cream and powder, which applies smooth and creamy with a hint of frost for some of the shades. Looking up the dictionary, "slurry" is pretty much a term used during construction, being the thin liquid mixture that has finer particles of powder giving the appearance and texture of a creamier, thicker consistency. It's pretty uncanny for Too Faced to be using this term for beauty products, but hey, it does work for this instance, coz this is what the eyeshadows felt like!

Though I'm infatuated with the shimmery shades, the matte shades were a little disappointing as they seem to be of drier consistency and apply on a little patchy. They certainly require the help of a eyeshadow primer or base.



I had to go around the sides to pick up the shades for fear of destroying those embossed little hearts, they send my heart skipping a beat everytime I "dig" my brush in. Splitting the palette into 3 shade groups, they are paired with illustrations that suggested with the 3 day to night looks - Pure Love, True Love and Forbidden Love. These look cards are hidden behind the mirror and serve as great "reminders" when you bring the palette out on your trips.


In the palette, you can also find a full size Too Faced Perfect Eyes Waterproof Eyeliner in Perfect Black. It has a matching packaging design like the palette and this pencil is the perfect finish for your eye looks, with its creamy and easy glide-on formula. You can get the perfect wing tip eyeliner within seconds and with the smudge tip on the other end, it is easy to smudge it out for smoky eyes. Its really long lasting and work well for those tight lining of the waterline too!




OK, back into the eyeshadow swatching. I bet the top favourite would be the au naturel nude shades from the Pure Love section, but my favourite for those electrifying come hither look, has got to be the True Love section with sweet pink and plum shades to make the magic work. The Forbidden Love section with its green hues might make things get a little steamy and mysterious, but green don't really work for my skin tone, I tend to look a little too matured, so I kinds steer clear of it...

Pure Love
From Left to Right: Cherish, Dearest, Adore, Desire, Amorous
True Love
From Left to Right: Smitten, Passion, Sweetie Pie, Romance, Obsessed
Forbidden Love
From Left to Right: Devotion, XOXO, Darling, Puppy Love, Everlasting
So, which are your favourite shades? I'm doing up a few tutorials using these new Too Faced products and tell me what would you love me to see ya? Do share your thoughts...


The Too Faced Love Palette will be made available in the Sephora stores in Singapore soon, but if you can't wait anymore, you can head on over to the Too Faced website and start purchasing them now! :)
