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. 💋

Check Out M.A.C's New & Revamped Rainbow Lipglass Collection 💓💙💚💛💜💓

| |
Hi Huneybees,


M.A.C has a few exciting launches coming up, I've previewed them and shared a sneak peek on Instagram. Have you seen them?



I'll be sharing the extensive swatches from one of the collections - M.A.C Lipglass. Yes! M.A.C's hero product has gotten a new double wall vial look and new formula (jojoba oil to condition lips) for some of our favourite shades alongside new ones too. In total, 57 over the rainbow colours to match your every look and mood.


I was jumping straight into the display when I saw it in the middle of the store and was dying to hog them all the way home immediately! Can you imagine the infinity of lip colours you can come up with?! Sparkly light blue on top of jet black lips for a galaxy feel, Holographic lips for that Unicorn on you, or swipe a little orange or blue topcoat to brighten or darken that usual red lips! The list just goes on and on...


Exilarating eh? Scroll down to see swatches of them...





As much as I would like to get all the Lipglasses home, my wallet was not allowing me to. So I choose 3 shades that I can play with many other lip colours and also different from what other brands offer. 

I chose: 

  • Gal Friday - A pearlescent shade that gives mermaid vibes
  • New Galaxy - A soft blue grey sheer shade with rainbow glitter
  • Yellow Jacket - A lime yellow sheer shade with light reflecting glitter 


I can't wait to try them out on my lippies, follow me on Instagram for updates and go head to your favourite M∙A∙C stores now to check out the new shades. There's even a complimentary lip demo! Have fun shopping! =)

Limited Autographed ‘Juls at Swatch Art Peace Hotel’ Watches For Sale On 12 August 2016

| |
Hi Huneybees,


I'm always a fan of all things Singapore, labels made in Singapore or even collaboration with Singaporean! If you are like me too, you might be interested in this new Swatch Watch...



Created to celebrate Singapore's 51st birthday, Swatch will be launching limited autographed ‘Juls at Swatch Art Peace Hotel’ watches for sale on 12 Aug 2016.



Juls brings to the table her distinct Chinese heritage with a striking red and blue colour motif set against white, like the oriental chinese ware. The art piece selected for the watch is created during her residency at the Swatch Art Peace Hotel. intricate faces and figures inspired bu the comic faces found on Chinese artifacts adorn the watch face and strap, it will definitely be a signature arm candy.


This is such a proud moment for Singapore's Yi Lin Juliana Ong, who goes by "Juls" , as she is the first Singaporean to design a Swatch watch! She studied art and design in London, England. She has won major awards for her drawing, and her artwork has been shown in museums and galleries in the UK and Singapore. In 2014 she applied and was accepted for a residency at the Swatch Art Peace Hotel.

Easy Breezy Coloured Lips With Katy Perry & CoverGirl

| |
Hi Huneybees,


After their launch of the Star Wars collection last year, CoverGirl introduced another collaboration with Katy Perry, namely Katy Kat Matte. CoverGirl is not available in Singapore (why not?!), but you can easily get them online and ship over, or like me, Airfrov it!


In the collection, there are 11 lipsticks and 4 mascara shades. I've tried their mascaras before and they didn't impress me much, except that there is a blue mascara shade. It wasn't enough to persuade me to buy them, so I only went for the lipsticks.


The lipstick shades are: 
  • Sphynx
  • Pink Paws
  • Magenta Minx
  • Coral Cat
  • Crimson Cat
  • Cat Call
  • Kitty Purry
  • Cosmo Kitty
  • Maroon Meow
  • Catoure
  • Perry Panther
  • Purrsian Pink
  • Tame Tiger


I did some online searching for the swatches before deciding to settle with the 4 colours that are not so easily found. So what do I think of these demi-matte lipsticks?

Well, first up, I was a little disappointed in the packaging. Just plain white cover with large Arial Bold wordings, doesn't scream Katy Perry for me. At least a holographic, prismatic sticker label or some cat footprints might be better?


Each of the lipstick has a peek-a-boo window at the bottom, so you can see which shades you are holding, flick it to the bottom and you will find their names with a cat hairband logo. I do love the cheeky cat names for each of them. What I've gotten is Perry Panther, Coral Cat, Cosmo Kitty and Maroon Meow.


Coral Cat adds a tinge of peach to your usual safe nude colours and allows you to add a pop of colour to your daily makeup look. There's nothing matte about it, just make sure you scrub those lips before applying the lipstick.



Cosmo Kitty


Remember Katy Perry's E.T. music video? This bright pop of purple will definitely transport you to the alien territory and party all night long. Pair it with soft earthy shades of eye makeup and a flick of cateye liner, you will be definitely be the spotlight of the night.



Maroon Meow


Yes! I see a Cat Woman behind those dark maroon lips. Though I was hoping to get a dark, deep red shade like red wine, but it turned out to be a bending towards the cooler blue tones. It was a disappointing shade for me, but well, this does go pretty well with smokey eyes...



Perry Panther


Alot of brands have launched their own versions of black lipsticks in the recent year and every one has their own formula. Perry Panther didn't really wow me with their shade of black though. Probably it's the demi-matte formula, I find that I can't seem to get full black lips, no matter how many layers I apply. It just keeps giving me a faded dark grey. =/



All in all I love this twist to matte lipsticks. Matte lipsticks are never the best formula to pull off without having your lips looking like it's chapped. This demi-matte formula is creamier than the usual matte lipsticks and is more hydrating with a touch of sheen.

They are created with shea, aloe, and avocado butter so you can get a smooth and easy glide for your lips. They are not very long lasting though, I always have to touch up my lips after a meal. But nonethless, this affordable line might just be your introductory venture into coloured lipsticks.


Have you tried the lipsticks before? 
Do comment and share too. =)

Celebrate The Year Of The Goat With Swatch

| |
Hi Huneybees,


It's time for another festive celebration and Swatch is definitely up for a party time! With Chinese New Year just around the corner, Swatch joins Chinese communities in welcoming the Year of the Goat
Goats have been close companions to people in their daily lives, also meaning wealth and prosperity as they lived in ancient times in the households of rich people, where they were known as “Ji Yang”, which means “goats with luck”. Even today, people look on the tame, white-haired goat with favor as a symbol of a peaceful and harmonious life. 
Inspired by these stories, Swatch has created a Chinese New Year Special, “The Goat’s Keeper” (SUOZ189). This colorful New Gent sports (of course) a goat on the dial and on the strap, presented in Special Packaging as well - with the goat from the watch featured on the top of an oval cardboard box with a zigzag pink and green triangle pattern on the sides. Shiny gold dots swirl about the goat’s head to signify wealth, prosperity, and good fortune all year round! 
Such a symbolic watch is definitely a must have for this New Year, so hurry down to the stores now to grab this collectable timepiece at S$109 at all Swatch Boutiques in Singapore! Here's wishing you a prosperous Goat Year!
