Hey ladies, the MAC Marilyn Monroe Collection will officially be released today Oct. 27 here in Cebu City.  Please do drop by at the Mac shop located in Rustan's Ayala Center Cebu at 2:00PM today.

Since it's already Fall or Autumn in some countries, I thought the MAC Pro Longwear Lipcreme in Seasoned Plum from the Daphne Guinness Collection would be perfect this season.


I've had this lipstick for a while now and I've only ever worn it twice which was just this month.  Mac Seasoned Plum was given to me a few months ago by my good friend Khymm of Shopcoholic. (thanks Khymmy!) I just love the shade because it is so unique.


It has been raining like crazy here in Philippines, so it is almost always gloomy and dark outside. That's when I remembered that I have this in my stash. Others might find this shade too odd, but all I did was pair this with a red lip liner and it looked great!

This is my first Pro Longwear Lipcreme and I'm very pleased with it. I like the chic packaging and how the product itself exactly fills the rim.  It has a decent staying power and it doesn't dry out my lips. Also, it does not feather or transfer easily like other cream lipsticks do.

Mac Seasoned Plum is a limited edition lipstick since it's from the Daphne Guinness Collection, so you might have trouble looking for this. You can buy it online or at Amazon.

Have you tried wearing a purple lipstick?

Until next time.

Cheerios!

Mac fanastics! the Styleseeker Collection has finally arrived here in Philippines. Do visit your local Mac Counters now before they run out of stocks. ^_^

I had a blast during the launch of the MAC Styleseeker collection at Rustan's Ayala Center Cebu last Saturday (Sept. 29). I got the chance to see first hand what the Styleseeker collection has to offer.

You can view the complete list and swatches from the styleseeker collection at Temptalia.com.

Until next time.

Cheerios!

A few months ago, I received an email request from a reader asking me to swatch my MAC C40 Powder Foundation since she found it really hard to look for a swatch on the C40 shade.  I know this is long overdue, but I wanted to wait when I could buy a new compact since the one I currently have already hit pan.

After months and months of waiting. The MAC Cosmetics "Hey Sailor" Collection finally arrived here in Cebu City, Philippines.  The Event was held last June 30, 2012. So, I apologize for this delayed post. ^_^



Most of the products were actually sold within just a few minutes after they started selling. This was supposed to be half empty, but I asked one of the MAC Makeup artist to fill it up with their samples again so that I could take pictures of the collection. (the price for being extremely late ^_^)

As you can see in the photo above, that's supposed to be full, but they ran out of the other bronzers quickly.  You can check the complete list of products as well as swatches from the MAC Hey Sailor Collection at Temptalia.com.

This is the first time I actually ever had a MAC Cosmetics haul! I'm just so giddy to show you my Mac picks.


These stuff served as my product payment, while I worked as a Guest Makeup Artist at MAC Cosmetics Rustan's Ayala Center Cebu.  Although it was only 3 days, I get to experience what it felt like to work inside a Mall while standing at the Mac counter for long hours.

The only thing I enjoyed the most was having the opportunity to do our customer's Makeup especially if it's a complete Makeover and meeting potential clients who wanted me to do their makeup. Other than that, I hated the lower back pains and sore feet...hahaha

Let me start of by saying, thank you to my wonderful husband for giving this to me as a surprise.  I was really sick a few days ago and had to stay at home. Hubby and I were supposed to go out to lunch together but I was feeling nauseous and dizzy, so he had to go out alone.

I fell asleep in our room while I was waiting for my dizziness to disappear. A few hours later, I woke up with a Rustan's paper bag on my side. I was really surprised to see this stuff inside. It felt like I just drank a whole bottle of Gatorade! LOL

I got this MAC Technakohl Liner Eye-Liner Kajal last December 2011 during the official launch of MAC Cosmetics at Rustan's Ayala Center Cebu. It is from the Glitter and Ice collection, so I'm not so sure if this is still available now.

I'm so excited to share this with you ladies, my first ever makeup related event! It's the MAC Cosmetics grand opening at Rustan's Ayala Center Cebu.  I was surprised when I received the official invite from MAC Cosmetics. You can just imagine me grinning all afternoon at the office when I got it. (thanks to April and Jaja of BigSeed Media for taking your time to contact me).
