[What's New] Celebrate Halloween With M.A.C x Rocky Horror Picture Show Collection

Hi Huneybees,

Happy Post-Halloween Everyone! How did you spend your freaky Halloween week? On that day, I did not do any dressup like every year, but I did do something special - visiting the scary makeup artists at the M.A.C counter in ION Orchard. Check out their horror-ific looks, I bet you will be dying to do their looks too!

This year's Halloween is amazingly celebrated with the launch of the M.A.C x Rocky Horror Picture Show Collection. I have not managed to catch Rocky Horror before, my closest to it would be the Glee version....

But of course the classic is still the best. See! They've even printed the characters on the inner part of the packaging!

The Rocky Horror Picture Show kicks off the celebration of its 40th anniversary in wild style with an untamed M∙A∙C collaboration, featuring an outrageous collection of hues and products specially designed to recreate the looks of your favourite characters from the 1975 cult classic film. Transform yourself into a sex-swapping mad scientist, heroic newlywed, alien from Transylvania or even the time-warped Riff Raff, with an orgy of colour worthy of any midnight mayhem at The Frankenstein Place...

So, being the sucker for packaging and a M.A.C addict, I had to get my hands on these little babies. Let me show you what I have gotten!

The first thing I wanted to get was the Set Powder that sets your foundation and base creams with invisible, giving you a light sheer and velvety finish. These powder grains are very fine, it is almost non-existence when applied.

For the eyes, I got the M.A.C Riff-Raff Eyeshadow Palette contains six eyeshadows, with a mix of old and new colours with a cool toned set of shades that could let you go from natural to dramatic stand out with these colours.

Oh, Rocky! is a “soft muted white with pearl [with a Frost finish], light, white-beige with subtle neutral-to-warm undertones and a satiny sheen. Crystal a “violet duochrome with pearl [with a Frost finish], is a light-medium lavender with cool undertones and a pink-ish iridescent, frosted sheen. These 2 shades will be great for inner corner of the eyes as well as under the brow .

Blackberry a “muted burgundy plum brown [with a Matte finish] is a muted, neutral-to-warm-toned plummy brown with a matte finish, that could come off a little dirty looking, but it is a great shade to have for contouring the eye.

For the shimmery shades, Graphic Style and Heavy, Black and Pendulous would be nice to have. The deep silver [with a Veluxe Pearl finish] Graphic Style would brighten the eyes whilst the grayish blue with pearl [with a Frost finish] Heavy, Black and Pendulous would be a nice shade to have against Blackberry for a contrast payoff.

And then comes the must-have black eyeshadow - Carbon. But it seems to be popping up in quite abit of the M.A.C palettes, it would be nice to see something with a change, like a shimmer or different colour undertone?

To add on to the dramatic set show look, contouring is a must! The Powder Blush in Crazed Imagination is something to opt for if you are not looking for a transvestite scientist like Dr. Frank-N-Furter. This muted, medium-dark plummy brown with subtle, warm undertones and a pearly shimmer-sheen finish is a natural shade to have whether for blusher or for contouring.

And nothing speaks louder than glitter pots, with you shining and glittering, you will definitely be the centre stage attraction! These 2 shades are to “Keep entirely clear of eye area. If product enters eye, rinse with water. If irritation occurs, consult your ophthalmologist.”, but with some creativity, you can have them as glittering eyebrows, lips or even cheeks and nails! But I've tried them over the eyeshadows and I must show they are stunning!

MAC 3D Black Glitter  is a black base powder with silver holographic effect and it is really something you must have! The MAC Gold Glitter has gold glitter pieces of different sizes that bounces off light to give your skin a Midas touch of elegance.

So, it's all a Strange Journey when you step into the Rocky Horror world, so come on over and try this moist red and orange tint lipstick. Coat your lips with it and I bet you will be drawing in the strange as well! See how fair I look against this lip colour! It is pretty close shade to Lady Danger, so if you missed this one, you can still find it with Lady Danger. :)

Loving the lighting over at the M.A.C counter! Must get this at my house too!

The M.A.C x Rocky Horror Picture Show Collection is now available at the M.A.C counter at ION Orchard Sephora, so be sure to go down early as these limited edition lovelies will run out very soon!

Without You - Goodbye Cory Monteith

Hi Huneybees,

GLEE would never be the same again without Finn. This is one drama that I follow religiously, sing, laugh and cry together with. Even my wedding march in song was "Marry You" from season 2! It's so sad to hear that Cory Montheith had passed away today. He is such a fine looking guy and so young!
Thank you Cory for "brightening" my TV screen. RIP Cory.

[Movie Review] The Muppets Premiere

Hi Huneybees,

Did you see my previous blog post about my favourite Muppet? Then, I guess you would have anticipated that I would go and watch The Muppets right?

You can read all about the movie, synopsis and trailer on the link above. I wana share some photos I took at the premiere that day and what I feel about the movie after watching...

I wasn't feeling superbly well that day, vomited the night before, but I still went down for the movie, coz I wanted to support Miss Piggy and her friends. Who can resist all these "Rainbow" cheeriness right?

So, when I arrived at Cineleisure, I was welcomed by this huge media board and the friendly staff handed me super lots of props to take photo with. I opted for just a flower? Hubby was parking the ride, so I had to take the photo on my own, but well, it's a pity if I did not take picture with the media board!

Review:

I love the movie lots! Although in the beginning, it seemed a little childish, Hubby and me were wondering if we made the wrong choice and perhaps I should have brought nephew along instead. But I can tell you in the end, I laughed, I smiled, I even teared up a little while watching the movie.

You get romance, comedy, action all in one movie! This movie kinda reflects on what happens to actors/actresses when their glamour moment is up, what happens to them and sometimes all you need is some motivation to set things right again.

The biggest surprise in the movie would be Jason Segel's and Amy Adams' performance. Who knew they could sing and dance so well?! The movie is very much like 'Glee', where emotions were sang and performed by the Jason, Amy and The Muppets. The songs were all original and a couple of the song got me humming to it for the next couple of days.

Other than the singing and dancing to watch out for, another thing would be the spotting of cameos of popular actors and actresses from the Hollywood scene. Hubby and I did a little naming game on the side, see who can "shout" out their names first. :)

Overall, The Muppets is a movie for all ages. Young kids can get to know who The Muppets are and the rest of the family can reminisce their Muppets Show moments with the familiar songs like 'Rainbow Connection'. And yes, the moments I teared up were actually the times that I remembered myself sitting in front of the TV watching and dancing to the characters. Sigh... Those were the days I was young, carefree and all I did was enjoy.....

The Muppets open in cinemas 8th December 2011, so why not make a date with your family and have some good laugh?

P.S. Why not paint on some Muppets inspired colours before heading to the cinemas? Check out my review on the O.P.I Muppets Holiday 2011 Collection here.
