MAC x Lisa Liquid Lip Color in HAUTE PANTS

Hi loves!

I love red lipsticks and it was MAC Cosmetics that really got me hooked on it when I first ventured into makeup. I'm one of those who tried the classics Ruby Woo and Russian Red first and since then, I'm a red lippie girl.

So when I went to Taiwan last year, as I was browsing The Cosmetics Company store, I saw this tube from MAC:

October-November Haul (2017)

Hello dolls!

It's the Christmas season also known as another big shopping season. Haha! The traffic lately has been heck (doggo language much?)! So I'm sure that many will settle with online shopping. Why not? When all these amazing online shops are giving huge discounts on their items!

But for me, Christmas came quite early. I already bought SO MANY stuff during the past couple of season. Haha! On today's post, I'll show you what I bought and what's to come on future reviews. :)

Last November, the SephoraPH mobile app had this promo wherein when you buy some selected products amounting to 11k, you get 40% off. Okay... so it's pretty much too expensive for my budget, but 60% off is a big steal and I really like the products I got! ! I only paid PhP 4,640.00 for all the items seen on the photo above. Their regular prices sum up to PhP 11,600.00. 

See them below. I also included the regular price at SephoraPh.

FOTD : Christmas Red

Hello loves!

Gonna share the makeup I wore during Christmas day.

It's not fancy or glamorous. It's actually one of the usual looks I wore, but I used products that are either new or haven't shared in the blog before.

I wore a vibrant, matte red lippie paired with nude eyeshadows and a bold winged liner. I added some shimmery neutral colors to add some glow on my face. 

So here are the products I used:

Here you'll see the products I used for my face.

You might be wondering why you're seeing too many foundations there. I actually mix the Lancome and TCFS to get the right shade (the Lancome one is too dark and I'm trying to finish it), while the Estee Lauder has the best coverage among my foundations, which I use around my jaw area where I most of my acne scars are at. I'm lazy to put concealer on each scar so I just spread the foundation there. Haha! :P

Above photo shows the products I used for my eyes and brows. I used my new Celeteque DermoCosmetics Eyeshadow Palette here and the finish is pretty good. A closeup of my eyes will be shown shortly. ;)

And to add colors for my cheeks and lips, I used the products above. The star of the look is my Ellana Cosmetics Lip in Luxe in Love is True! This is my current go-to matte red lipstick. :D

Anyway, I can put the list of products sometime soon. For now, you can comment below if you have questions. Haha!

So here's a closeup of the EOTD:

Neutral shades and a bold winged eyeliner to compliment the bold and vibrant red shade of my lips.

Here's how I looked a few seconds after i finished my makeup. 

 Most of the items I used are matte—my lipstick and eyeshadows. I even add powder on my face to keep it matte. I added some highlighter to add a youthful glow as you can see on the photos!

And that's my FOTD!

What makeup did you wear during Christmas day?

Cheers,

MAC Lustre Lipstick in Plumful

Hey guys!

My mom received a MAC lipstick as a Christmas gift. And because I'm a kikay daughter, I just had to swatch and try it out! And of course, I will be sharing a swatch post. :D

MAC Lustre Lipstick

And the shade is Plumful.

This color is just perfect for my mom so kudos to the person who gifted this to her (I believe it's one of her goddaughters). 

My mom loves plum shades for her lippies and this particular one is not too bold but still gives her lips the beautiful plum coverage to brighten her face. It really is something that my mom would wear.

As for me, I like it too if I'm going for a simple, feminine look.

Here are the swatches:

on my hand

on my lips

The color is so pretty! :D

This is a lustre lipstick, meaning it has a semi-gloss finish. I like my lippies matte but since  this is my mom's, I think it works great on her. Mattes make her lips appear smaller and dehydrated because of her age, so having a little shine on her lips gives a fuller finish.

So what do you think of MAC Lustre Lipstick in Plumful?

Cheers,

FOTD : A Happy 26 Year Old Me!

Hey loves

It's my birthday! YAYYYY!!!

I'll be celebrating with loved ones in a couple of hours so the moment I finished doing my makeup, I grabbed my cam and took pictures so I can share with you the look I have right now. :P

So this is what I currently look like.

I chose some of my favorite makeup for today. Here they are...

I'll update the post with the names of every product when I get home later.

As for the eyes, I made a simple nude-mauve combination.

And of course, my favorite winged eyeliner look is there!

 I also used my favorite lipstick, MAC Ruby Woo. My mom always tell us to wear red on our birthdays because it's a celebration. I dunno what culture that's from... is it Chinese or Filipino? Anyway, it's good that my lippie looks awesome with my blouse!

  

 So that's all for now. Gonna go spend the day with the friends and family! Wooot! Maybe I'll blog about my birthday celebrations in a few days. :)

Have a great day, guys! Love ya!

Cheers,

FOTD: Because It's the Rainy Season Again

Hey loves!

Just gonna post something short and simple. :P

The last few days had rainy mornings, which made me smile when I wake up. Why you ask? Because I can wear my dark makeup looks without thinking that I should wear bright colors because it's summer (No one really tells me that I should wear bright colors... it's just that that's how things are usually done according to magazines and what the beauty industry says and stuff). Well, it's not summer anymore! Yayyy! Double celebration because I just hate summer. Hahahaha! Hello rainy season! :D :D :D

Here's the makeup I wore. It's very vampy!

The stars of this look are the following:

MAC Pleat: 6 Cool Eyes Eyeshadow Palette
Kiss Me Heroine Make Impact Liquid Eyeliner
 NYX Soft Matte Lip Creme in Transylvania

I regret using a metallic browcara. It stands out too much but in natural lighting, it's quite natural-looking, very close to my hair color. I have full bangs anyway so my brows are covered. :P 

And that's my FOTD! :P

Hooray! It's no longer the summer! Haha! I just hope that the temperature gets a little cooler. :)


Cheers,

MAC Amplified Lipstick in Petals and Peacock

Hey loves!

Sharing another swatch post about one of the preloved items my sister gave me. It's an old product but I just think it looks really pretty, especially the package design, that's why I want to blog about it still.

MAC Amplified Lipstick in Petals and Peacock

This was my sister's so I dunno when she bought this exactly. This is included in the Give Me Liberty of London collection which is a Limited Edition one.

As mentioned before, the package design is really beautiful. I think it's one of my favorite lipstick tube designs that I have in my collection.

But I equally love the color of this lipstick. I feel like this color would look nice in most skin tones whether you're tanned or fair-skinned.

The bright, cool-toned lipstick can look flashy and intimidating to those who prefer simple looks, but when worn, I think you'll just fall in-love with it like I did!

It's very pigmented and buildable. I like wearing it very opaque like this color below...

It's just gorgeous! I love how intense the color is, but if you find this too bold, you can tone it down by blotting and it still looks great. It leaves a light stain so your lips will still have color after a while.

The staying power is awesome, it can stay on even after I eat, but of course, reapplication on the inner areas of the lips is still necessary so they would look all pink and gorgeous again.

Super thanks to my sister for letting me have this product! Haha! So what are your thoughts on this lippie? :)

Cheers,

DAWN

EOTD: Honey Bronze

Hi guys!

Just sharing the eye makeup I wore today. I was in the mood for metallics but I wanted it simple because I'm just going to work (plus, our new uniforms are hideous and I wasn't really in the mood for colorful looks because of all the greyness in our uniform). :P And so I went with a warm gold-bronze combination sans the usual black liner.

See how simple it is? I think this look would be great for people who go to work or school that have little time to spare for makeup. It's a simple 5-minute look that's super easy to make!

I used these makeup:

MAC Royal Assets : 6 Metallic Eyes Palette

Nature Republic Botanical Eyebrow Mascara

Heroine Make Kiss Me Volume and Curl Mascara

MAC eyeliner in Bountiful Brown

Snoe What's Up Brow! Water Resistant Eyebrow Gel Corrector

Clio Gelpresso Waterproof Pencil Gel Liner in Gold Shine No. 12

I included the two products I used for my brows so all-in-all, I only used 6 products. Nice, right?

For the eyeshadows, I used the 3 shades on the left and the black one on the right. The colors are pretty easy to blend together and I simply made a gradient effect—light to dark from top to bottom.

So below are some closeup shots of my eye...

I added the black shadow to add a little "extra volume" effect on my lashes and then I added the gold eye liner under my lower lash line to brighten the look.

Simple and bright! 

I kept the rest of my makeup plain and simple with a peachy pink blush and a nude pink lipstick!

And that's my EOTD! Hope you liked it!

Cheers,

DAWN
