My favorite blusher from MAC

I have few of blushers and some of them are my favorite. And in this post, I will share with you what my favorite from MAC. Of course I have other blusher from various brands, but let's do it slowly.
In this picture I have :

• Joyous from Beauty Powder collection, I love the color, peach with gold sparkles and I look so fresh whenever I'm using it
• Dainty, my first MAC blusher and it's mineral blush. Pink with shimmer helps me to glowy. It has smooth texture and quite pigmented.
• Gentle, mineralize blush that I got together with Dainty. Steven ( SA of MAC) really made a good choice for me. The color looks purple-ish but when I apply this, it looks plummy.
• Plum Foolery. I never thought before that plum color would suit my fair skin tone. But this one is a really nice blush that I will repurchase.
• Pink Swoon. Most girls out there love this blush and it's a must have from MAC. this is my hubby favorite honestly, not me. For it's just ok.
• Pinch O Peach. Naturally blush look healthy and pretty color is enough to tell how I love this blush. However I don't think this as a peach blusher, it's more to pink side.
• Summer Rose from Rose Romance. First time I had this, I hate it. I could not see any color when I tried to apply it. It's not pigmented at all, so I need to swipe several times, which is worth it. It's not a common pink, I feel it's kinda unique color with a nice sheen.
• Angel. It has been discontinued. Too bad as I like it :) A bit pale but suits me well.

I am planning to get another blusher from MAC such as Style, Sunbasque, Margin, Well Dressed, etc. But not now, since I have NARS fever hehe..
I am waiting for NARS Oasis and Mata Hari to come. I already placed an order for NARS Amour too. Too bad Sephora doesn't have NARS in Crazed.
Not only NARS, but other blusher as well. I will share with you once it's arrived :)
I decided to take a short time to not get anything from MAC, so I won't feel so bored :P

Another MAC Blusher to add in my collection

I received these blushers few days ago, but I was too lazy to post about it.
So here I go, show off what I got.
MAC Powder Blush in Mocha and Coygirl.
Coygirl seems like a unique color, it's purple in the pan and I have yet try it out on my cheeks.
Mocha is pink with a bit plum, I fell in love since I tried it at MAC counter and now I have it :)
I still have lots of MAC Powder Blush that I want to get, but I think I want to get rest from MAC for a while and try something new.
I can't wait to get other blushers that I already ordered. I have to wait around a month. That's a long time to go, hope it's worthy :)

Ciao !

Look what I found !

Yesterday I went to mall because I was so bored.
As usual, I visited MAC counter, played with the blusher. How I wish can get them all *LOL
To my surprise, when I played with those blushers in the display, I found powder blush that had been discontinued.
When I swatch it on my hand, it looked pretty, almost similar with Well Dressed.
Did u get the clue what blusher it is ?


It's MAC Powder Blush in Angel ! It's pinker than Well Dressed when u swatch it on ur hand, even though it looks same in the pan. Angel is matte, while Well Dressed has silver shimmer in it. Both of them are pretty, but I got this one first, as I'm afraid it will OOS.
If this one OOS, I had no chance to get it next time.
I can't wait to use it :)

Other than Angel, I found Cute ! It's paler than Angel and Well Dressed. I think it's not flattering. I should look like Snow White, so it would nice on me, NC20 skintone :)

Btw, what is ur favorite LE blusher from MAC ? Share with me !

Bubye !

My bf's favourite :D

Last week my bf asked me to wear new blusher that I got from him. So between Pink Swoon and Pinch O Peach, I chose Pink Swoon. Both of them are popular in Makeupalley. So I think I made a good choice to get them both :D
When me and my bf met, he asked what blusher that I used. I told him it's Pink Swoon that I got from him. He looked amazed and he said that he liked it so much :D
He said it's the most natural blusher that I ever worn and it's the greatest among those blushers that I had used. Usually he could see that I use blusher, but with Pink Swoon I looked naturally blushing :p
I think I have to learn how to use blusher to look more natural.
Maybe I used too much and looked fake.
Well thanks to my bf, with his honesty I knew my mistake xD

Back to MAC old collection

picture credits to beautyaddict.blogspot.com

Still remember this collection ? MAC Beauty Powder Blush collection in March 2008.
I was looking for it as I like the blushers from that collection. I am late as a MAC collector. And I just can't ignore this collection, I love blusher so much and I had seen the swatches. So lovely.
Two days ago finally I had one of them which my most favorite among other blusher based on the swatches.
I got it by online, I joined a forum and she had MAC Joyous which she decided to sell. She only used it for 3 times and sell it for RM 70.20 including shipping if convert to Ringgit.
I don't need to think twice.
Two days ago I received it. Very fast seller. I paid on 1st Sept, I received it in the next day.
The color is peachy almost to orange I think.
I have yet wear it, tomorrow I will meet my bf and planning to use it :D

Lovely gifts from the loveliest

Hehe, not sure if got that such kind of word, loveliest =p
It doesn't matter, bcoz in my post here, I have lots of thing to share.
So yesterday, I was going to meet my bf and I reached the shopping mall at 10.30. So early, huh ? But then, my bf had not reached the place yet since it;s quite far from his house.
So, I decided to kill my time with browsing to MAC Counter. A sales assistant name's Eva greeted me, she's quite friendly so I asked her this and that.
I asked about the prices of the brushes, then start from there we talked a lot. I told her that MAC Malaysia is much cheaper and mostly I bought MAC there. She share with me lots of things that I didn't know before.
First, MAC Indonesia is franchise, different with MAC M'sia which is under Estee Lauder Company. Bcoz of that reason, MAC Indonesia doesn't have MAC Pro Member.
Second, MAC Indonesia could not follow all those collections, which mostly launch every month. Because MAC Indonesia has to register all those product to BPOM, an organization from government who check about the safety, etc.
Third, MAC Pro member in US got 40% discount, correct me if I'm wrong.
Fourth, MAC Hong Kong is the cheapest among all Asia countries.
I got lots of acknowledge from her and she served me well, so I decide to get something. Honestly, I ady had my shopping list. MAC Powder Blush in Pink Swoon and Well Dressed. But when I swatched it, Well Dresses is too light. So I took Pink Swoon. While she was serving other customer, I browsed the counter and I found Pinch O Peach on the display and I asked for the tester so I could swatch on my hand.
It's a nice and lovely color so I decided to take it.
Seems like two items were not enough for me, kept browsing and I remembered that I need something for my eyebrows. I want it to look neat and nice, she suggested me the MAC Brow Shader.
She tried it on me and I love it. After another half hour, my bf came and bought it for me as my b'day gifts. A bit late, but it's better than nothing.
Yesterday we had great time, we talked a lot and shopped a lot =p
Here's my haul

MAC Pink Swoon, Pinch O Peach and Brow Shader in Walnut/Ivory.
2 brushes which have good quality, love it. I bought this for Brow Shader.
2 lipsticks from Maybelline, Naturally Nude and Revlon, Pink In the Afternoon.

Overall, I really love with what I got and I will diet for the rest of August. I ady have something in my mind for September shopping list :)
Btw, I got good news from the SA, Make Up Art collection will be launched in Indonesia in September, I will ask her to reserve for me the 2 blushers.
That's all from me. I want to enjoy me new stuffs :)
Bye

Please don't vomit =p

LOL, I thought u will know what this post will be about.
Well, this post will show blushers (again) that I got from MAC. I had showed u half of them, which are from Colour Craft Collection, Fad Dabulous and Style Demon. I have yet tried Style Demon, so I can't say what I think about. While for Fad Dabulous I used it for once and I forgot how it looked on me, LOL.
When I went to MAC, I was planning to get MAC Powder Blush in Pinch Me but the SA told me it's oos. So I played with the powder blushers that displayed at the counter. I found my new love ! Melba and Plum Foolery. Melba is pink peachy color, I love it, so nice ! While Plum Foolery, even I don't have it, but it reminds me with NARS Sin.


Picture of my new blushers, so yeah I add another stuffs for my MAC and blusher collection.
I know, u ady sick with it, LOL.
Well, I think my next haul, which will be in this month, I won't buy any blusher.
I am thinking to get cream foundation and eyeshadow =p



Meri L

Finally, I'm in Indonesia again :)
Even though I don't enjoy the makeup shopping here, but nearby with my family is the best thing I always ever have.
Spent 2 weeks in M'sia, I had very good time =)
Since it's quite short time, I didn't bring lots of makeup and I had lots of things that I need to bring home.
So I decided to only bring this :


For face :

• Givenchy Sub'limine Fluid Foundation
• Bare Escentuals Prime Time (primer)
• MAC MSF Natural in Light
  

For eyes :

• Bobbi Brown Long Wear gel eyeliner in black
  
• Covergirl Volume Exact mascara in very black
  

For cheeks :

• NARS Powder Blush in Gilda
• MAC Mineralize Blush in Dainty
• MAC Bronze Powder in Solar Riche

For lips :

• NYX Round Lipstick in Tea Rose
• Guardian Lip Balm (not in the picture)

Tools :

• Shu Uemura eyelash curler
• Eco Tools Baby Kabuki
• Eco Tools Face brush (both in the pouch)
• Crown Brush Skunk brush
• MAC 168 brush
• Signature Minerals blush brush

If u wonder why I didn't bring eyeshadow with me, it's because I don't own any single of it. Personally, I don't like eyeshadow and I think it's more suitable for party or working.
Well, that's a bit update from me.
It's time for me to find a job.
Pray for me pls ;)

MAC haul =)

Finally, after been so curious with Colour Craft collection, I managed to see and swatch by myself. I went to Mid Valley to get my Mineralize Blush, Fad Dabulous and Style Demon. I really love it =) They both look pretty when I swatch on my hand and I hope it will look nice on my cheek.
Improvise and Daft Pink are really pretty when u see from the pan, but when u swatch, euww it's more to highlighter than a blusher for me. Definetly I prefer the permanent mineralize blush, such as Gentle and Dainty.
While for MSF, I love Triple Fusion and Sunny by Nature, but I didn't get it as I have to save my money to buy things for parents. Sunny by Nature is really nice to use for shading. Used to MSF Smooth Merge is in my wish list, but not anymore, I think it's just like any other pink with shimmer. However, I didn't get back home in empty hand, I bought 2 powder blushes =) Both of them were not in my wishlist, but I was interested with them. I was too eager to get myself Pinch Me and Springsheen. Too bad Pinch Me is OOS.
I also swatched some of the powder blush that I am interested too, Pink Swoon, Dollymix, Dame, Well Dressed and Coygirl. Blah, I hate Pink Swoon and Coygirl. Boring. But I do love Mocha =) I would definitely get this one once I make my own money.
So finally, I add some of my blusher and MAC collection.
Im happy :) A big thanks to Amy :)
How about u ? Anything that makes u happy ? Maybe u just got something that u want for a long time and it's on sale ? Share with me.

MAC Color Craft haul

Thanks to Amy for helping me to get MAC Colour Craft collection =) She's really helpful, as MAC Indonesia maybe dont have this later. They even dont have Style Warrior, so damn bad right ?
If I didn't get it now, Im afraid it will out of stock soon. People crazy about MAC.
Im still in Indonesia, but Amy had been so nice to buy for me plus discount bcoz she is the member of MAC Pro.
Here's the picture I got from her :)



I got Fad Dabulous and Style Demon. I think they are the prettiest among all the blushers frm Colour Craft. Daft Pink and Hand Finish are too sheer I think with tons of shimmer, just like Moon River. They are more suitable for highlighting.
I havent got the MSF Smooth Merge, Im not sure if I want to get it. I prefer to get other MAC blusher hehe..
I cant wait to get these MAC blushers on my hand !
Btw should I try other blushers from Colour Craft ?
What is ur favourite blusher from MAC ?
Give me suggestion ya. Thanks =)

MAC Colour Craft

Im here not to post about the swatches or the collection. As for the collection, u can just google it. So glad to know a collection which have lots of blushers. When I saw the picture for the first time, I was planning to get all the mineralize blush, but after the swatches from beauty bloggers, I am not that interested anymore. It's very shimmery and the color doesnt come out. So finallyI choose to only get these :

• Fad Dabulous
• Style and Demon
• MSF Smooth Merge

Too bad the price for the blusher is kinda pricey, Rm 95. And lucky that I dont want to get them all, so I can use my money for other stuffs. I have many things to buy.

• blusher
• bronzer
• angled brush
• foundation brush

I want to try from any brands, that's what we call collection =p If there anyone here, have it, u can offer me or maybe if kind enough, give to me as charity :D This is my email la_femmefatale@rocketmail.com.
I believe lots of u really excited with this new MAC Collection, share with me which stuffs that u are planning to get or ur favourite from Colour Craft =)

MAC Mineralize Blush in Gleeful

picture credits to viewpoints.com

Since the first time I saw this blush from Specktra.net, I was falling in love. I should have this.
And finally, I have it. The color is dusty rose, which I think u can find other than from MAC.
I was dissapointed with the result that I got when I put on my face. It looked like a dirt on my face. It didn't make look me fresh.
What I like from MAC Mineralize Blush is the texture and pigmentation. I didn't have to put so much to see the colour appear on my face. I dislike blusher that is very sheer. It's no use I buy it as have no result that I can see nor make any differences on my face.
I really like Dainty and Gentle that Stephen recommended to me. Especially Dainty, I love it. I look so fresh and the color matches with my skin :D
This Gleeful end up in my sale spree. I wish to sell, so anyone who interested, can email me la_femmefatale@rocketmail.com and of course the price will be much cheaper than retail.

Another MAC haul =p

I am such a MAC whore, LOL. Now I have 15 plus stuffs from MAC. And I wish to get other stuff, but have to postpone, as I want to buy something for my mom. Hope readers from Malaysian can help to clear my stuffs =p
Last Monday I received my package as I ordered MAC by online.
And I did before I am planning to buy something for my mom, so forgive me to spend money for myself :D
This is what I got :


Bronzing Powder in Solar Riche, Lustre Drops in Sun Rush and Pink Rebel. All from Style Warrior collection. I had tried all of them and I love it =)
What do u like from Style Warrior collection ? Do share with me =)

Out of topic, today I had done my final presentation and I was so relieved. It's my last semester and I will miss everything that I had there..
I will miss my friends.
I will miss the time we stayed at university.
I will miss the time we eat together with all the laugh and stupid joke.
I will miss the time we were gossiping about people.
I learnt lots of things since I stay abroad, far from my home.
I am really thankful to God and parents for giving me a chance to have this kind of experience.
It's precious, something that I might not get if I studied in Indonesia.
I always love when I can learn, see and feel something that I never had before.
After this, I will have my real life where I have to survive and work harder. However, I just want to enjoy my life. So money is not an issue for me. It's a lie if I said money is not important, if I don't like money. I need money, it is important. But it's not everything, money can't buy a happiness for u.
Let's compare. When u buy Chanel bag, Salvtore Ferragamo shoes, how long the happiness will be last ? Compare to, u do charity, help people and make a surprise for people that u love.
Personally, I always happy and glad when I can do something for people. When I do charity, I feel so relieve. When I can make my bf, friends and family smile or laugh, it's so priceless.
Especially for my Dad, he never complain, he is very quite man. We seldom talk and spend time together. We are not that close.
But I really love him so much. I will do everything to make him happy. He works so hard and seldom spend time with me. I won't be a bad girl just because less attention that I got. I won't complain. This is his way to show how he loves me. He won't say that he loves me directly. I respect him.
I always feel excited if I can buy food that he may like, if we can go dinner together.
One day I wish to say that I love him so much and I am proud to be his daugther.
I love my family to death.
I will, one day, be succeed in my carrier, I believe and I have to make it. Just for u Dad..
Don't get me wrong, I love my Mom too, but she's an expressionist, it's easy to know how she feels and I am not shy to hug and kiss her. On the other hand, my dad is a shy and quite guy.
To see him laugh is just like a treasure.
I hope I could bring happiness more than all the pains he and my mom had..
I hope I can spend more time with them, to pay all the precious thing that I passed as I am oversea.

Remember, whenever, wherever, u can find a friend. But, u can't find family in other places.
So, use ur time wisely before u regret that. It's not a lie that one day u can't see them any longer in ur life. And I don't want to cry for that.
U won't know how happy they are when u hug them and u say that u love them..

MAC (again) and Etude House Hauls

I am starting addicted to MAC, no wonder people love MAC. They offer u lots of selection which mostly are pretty and u can't just ignore it. So today I went to Pavillion again to get myself another blusher. And I bought too many, when I had to pay, I was shock. Because when I saw what I like, I would simply say, "get me this one". Not only MAC, I bought something from Etude House. It has been a long time I didn't shop anything from Etude. Used to the name is only Etude and I got it in Indonesia, 4 years ago I think. I bought the blushers and loose powder.
But in this haul, I didn't get myself that stuffs as I ady got blushers from MAC.
So here it is !

Taaaadaaaa ! Yups I had 6 items from MAC. From the above left :
Mineralize Blush in Gleeful
Mineralize Blush from Grand Duos Collection in Intenso
Powder Blush in Fleur Power
Beauty Powder from Rose Romance in Summer Rose
Sheertone Shimmer Blush in Peachtwist
Sheertone Shimmer Blush in Peachykeen
While for Etude House I got Pore Erasing Peach Base and On Screen Primer.

MAC blushers in Gleeful, Intenso and Peachykeen were in my wish list. I didn't expect that I would got the Intenso. That's the only one left. Lucky me ! I saw the swatches from Spektra.Net and it seems very pretty. Used to I was planning to get Moon River, but mostly people said it's more to highlighter than blusher. I prefer highlighter in liquid. And I saw that in MAC Pavillion and Lot 10 they still got lots of stocks for Moon River. So anyone who interested with that, u can get it there. MAC Lot 10 even still have Light Over Dark. But too bad, they don' have Grand Duo and Hot Planet, aargh >.<
I didn't get Style Warrior blushers, Eversun and On a Mission because I think the colors look dirty. While for Peachtwist, before this I got Dollymix but O my, the color was very shocking pink and I don't like it. So I asked to exchange with another color. It looks pretty, but I'm not sure how it looks like on my skin. Hope it's nice =)
For Etude House, both are makeup base. When I tried from the sample, it felt nice and I like it, that's why I decided to get both of them. Especially for Pore Erasing Peach Base, I like the packaging and have read lots of good thing about this. For me personally, it felt like YSL Mat Radiant Base, very smooth. The price was very different, from Etude House it's only RM 49.90, while from YSL is RM 133. You should give a try, as I think Pore Erasing Peach Base is the dupe for YSL Mat Radiant Base with much more cheaper price. I don't know yet how it feels when I put on my face, but I will try it tomorrow. I can't wait ! :D
How about you ? What u get on this weekend ? Share with me.
Happy nice haul everybody !

Cheers
Meri L

First haul in June ! Yay ! Super Happy Me !!

Today I was planning to go to Pavillion and got myself Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk and Guerlain Parure Extreme. But, I had no idea, after I reached there, I felt like I don't want to buy. As a result, I didn't get anything in Parkson.

Other than Giorgio Armani and Guerlain, I wanted to buy Benefit High Beam. I really want to try highlighter as I never try. But then, I saw the packaging looks quite small and the price I think just not worthy, so I canceled.

Went here and there for hours. Here's what I got

Yups, something from MAC, Skin Food and The Face Shop. I never fancy stuff from there, but today I gave myself a chance to try the products. As for MAC, I gave them second chance after I was very dissapointed with the Blot Loose Powder. And I think it's too much for second chance =p

See ? Now u understand why I said it's too much ? I bought 7 items and got 2 samples from the SA, he's a very nice and smart guy. I learnt a lot from him. Yes, it's a guy and before this, he worked for Shu Uemura.
From the above (clockwise) : Refined Golden from Style Warrior, Mineralize Skinfinish in Light, MAC Mineralize blush in Dainty, MAC Angled Brush 168, The Face Shop Silky Makeup Base, The Skin Extra BB Cream sample from The Face Shop, Skin Food Lime Secret Shine Base , MAC Prep+Prime, MAC Brush Cleanser, 2 samples which are cleansing oil and studio fix moisturizer and the last is MAC Mineralize Blush in Gentle.

Phew...So tired to read all the above, right ? =p

Total damage ? A LOT ! LOL. But I was (am) very satisfied with what I got, especially from MAC. I manage to get other stuffs and I hope same SA who serves me later :D

I can get MAC by online which is cheaper, but I prefer to buy directly from the shop because I get different feeling and satisfaction. Furthermore, someone serves me and I can make sure I get right stuffs for me.
It must be weird if u follow my blog since the first time. As I am not MAC fans and never thought I would end up buy so many things from there =p

I have ordered MAC by online, let's what I got later =p
Skin Food Lime Secret Shine Base, I was interested with this since I saw my Korean friend using it. It was much cheaper than Benefit High Beam but same result. And I like Skin Food packaging more. I never think that Benefit is worthy to spend, I just don't like it. It looks interesting just because the packaging and the name. But I prefer something simple.

Start tomorrow, I will try to use highlighter and bronzer. I want to learn more things about makeup. The MAC SA taught me how to put bronzer, under eye concealer, eyeshadow, use eyebrow pencil and how to contouring and highlighting. That's why I dare to spend so much money. He's the best SA I ever know and I really appreciate what he did.

The Face Shop Silky Makeup base, it has color and I got myself light purple which to brighten ur dull skin and look fresh. I had no idea why I bought this, kinda regret, but I have not tried it yet, so let's hope it brings good result =) This is the first time I got myself makeup base that has color though. Mostly mine are in white and transparent color.

I realized that my skin looks dull and tired, but good thing is most SA said I have good skin complexion xD

I will do review soon ! Cheers everybody ! Happy MAC day !
