014 - The MAC Lipstick Obsession!

I'm just new to this MAC Addiction and within a month and a half, I've put these babies close together. *Wink*. I've tried and had those popular shades like MAC Red, Ruby Woo, Ravishing, Freckletone, and Victorian but unfortunately, they're all finished to death. :D Here are the new ones in addition to my collection:

L-R:
Flamingo
Pink Pigeon
Skew
Marisheeno
Syrup
Runaway Red
Creme Cup
Viva Glam Nicki
Lovelorn
Pink Nouveau
Saint Germain
Russian Red

I took photos and swatched them each for you guys to see and have reference. Ehem... Pictures are in no particular order :)

SATIN Pink Nouveau
This is the Perfect Barbie Pink Lippie! It's more of a light HOT pink shade with a slightly bluish undertone. It is not too intense and can be an everyday colour. :)

LUSTRE Lovelorn
I like this for simple days. It's a Nude-ish light pink (Imagine Lipstain and Balm). Very light and sexy. Best worn with a  winged eyeliner and light pink blush. :)

SATIN Viva Glam Nicki (Limited Edition)
This one's a bright pink with yellow undertones more like of the Flamingo. I am not a fan. Oh well.

CREMESHEEN Creme Cup
Indeed one of MAC's best selling shades. Its the perfect nude/mauve or natural color with a hint of peach. Looks perfect on smokey eyes. ;)

FROST Skew
This ones a frost lippie. It's a peach/coral shade with pink and blue frosted shimmer undertone. I'd wear it in Summer or with a tan. :P

MATTE Pink Pigeon
This is like Candy Yum Yum and Barry M's Shocking Pink. Bright Hot Pink with Blue undertones. Indeed an intense shade. Perfect for a bare back and high pumps! SEXAAAY!

AMPLIFIED Saint Germain
I often see this shade featured on the magazines and this is Nicki Minaj's favorite (so when you see her wearing a pale bright pink lipstick, it's Saint Germain!). I think it's kinda like NYX's Strawberry Milk.

LUSTRE Marisheeno
It's a sheer peachy coral. It's nice on Brown, Bronze or Gold Eye makeup :)

SATIN Runaway Red
I just love this color! It's dark red but not too dark like Diva (Vampy Lips). I'd wear this on a Sunny day.

LUSTRE Syrup
Pinkish Mauve Color. Looks kinda Frosted. But sheer when applied on lips.

SATIN Flamingo
It's a Yellow-Based Peach. It actually looks like Viva Glam Nicki for me. BIt would be nice to wear it with an apricot blush and long natural lashes. :)

Tadaaaaa! My newest collections. I hope my swatches helped you out, girls! Til' next time!

By the way, What's your favorite MAC Lipstick?

007 - Hello, Rucy's Vanity!

Hello Ladies! Now, I'm gonna make a review for Rucy's Vanity. I believe it's a Korean brand but unlike other Korean products, this one is SOOOOO Inexpensive! I got these babies at a mall beside our Village (They have a stall at Ever Gotesco Mall, Ortigas). Uhmmm, I don't actually know where the other branches of this Beauty line are located. Here you go:

I have 4 Gleamy Lipsticks, 1 BB cream and 1 Foundie.

THE LIPSTICKS

On the Label: "Long Lasting, Soften and Smooth, Shiney and Glossy"

Each one comes in a 4.5g tube. The colors are nice. Other shades are too sheer for me, like the

Qute Pink and Brown, You need to apply more. But the Hot Pink and Orange are intense but too glossy for me. Still not bad for a PHP120.00 tube.

From L-R:

Qute Pink

Brown

Hot Pink

Orange

THE SWATCH

QUTE PINK: It's more of a "Pink Nouveau-ish" color. Quite nice.

BROWN: I don't get it why it's labeled brown, It looks like Dark Reddish Brown for me. 

The color is nice, but too sheer.

HOT PINK: This is the best color so far. It is comparable to MAC's Pink Pigeon,

but with a glossy finish.

ORANGE: This Tangerine shade goes best with an Apricot Blush. Fresh Color.

THE MAKE UP CREAMS

Above: Pearl Foundation

Below: Pearl B.B. Cream

PEARL BB CREAM

SPF 30 PA+++

UV Protection, Anti-Wrinkle Glittering Finish,

Whitening and Moisturizing

NET WT.: 8ml

This BB cream is nice, it has a powdery scent and a glittery finish. The color seems natural and it fits most shades since it's a BB Cream. It has a nice texture and feels light on skin. It doesn't feel sticky and  

I think this would be perfect for a night-out. No need to apply a highlighter on top since it's shimmery already. Each 8ml tube costs PHP70.00. I am not joking! :)

PEARL FOUNDATION

SPF 30 PA+++

Contains Green Tea

Whitening and Moisturizing

NET WT.: 8ml

This Foundie is like a PEARL base. I don't see myself using this as my foundation, but it might work as 

a make up base. It's too "Pearly" and shimmery to act as a foundation, even if you top it with loose powder (Believe me, I already tried it!). This one costs PHP70.00, too. Not bad, it's worth a shot. :) 

There you go, that was my "RUCY'S VANITY" Haul. They are really cheap, and I think it is worth buying. Thank you for reading my post, and keep on visiting "The Beauty Diary".

By the way, Do you already have Rucy's Vanity in your area?

Kisses,
Kath :)

I swatched these pencils and the colors are great. I can't get any more satisfaction! :)

Love and Love,

005 - Divi Run! :)

Me and hubby went to Divisoria to get his Tablet fixed. So while he was busy, I went around and got these cheap, cheap stuff! :)

Weeeee! Additions and Addiction! :D

I got this PURSE BRITE, It's a lighted Purse/Bag Organizer. No more "HALUKAY-ing" when I'm out at night!
24K Quarts Eye Mask Gelee (I got it for 40 Bucks)
I actually bought Indian Ear Candles but I left them on my desk while taking pictures. I didn't bother to get them and include them on the pic. Haha!
Eyelid Adhesives. I actually don't know why I bought them, but I might be able to use them for something. These are usually for Girls who have "Monolids" or in tagalog... Yung mga walang talukap. Lol. :D
A Box of Natural Human Hair Eyelashes. :)

Here's the "PURSE BRITE" when you switch it on. It is reaaaaalllyyyyy "BRITE"! :P

OMG! I got these footies on a bargain! They're the last pieces that's why I got them on SALE!
The White Wedge, I got it for 300 and the Pumps, They are just so FAB! The Original Price is 1200, but I got it for 400! Thank God I have small feet! :D

Spell S-E-X-Y!

There you go! I got tired, but atleast I had fun and CONGRATULATIONS TO ME! I didn't spend too much today! Divi Rocks! Woohoo! But I got upset when we got home.. Because there's this Long Sheer Skirt with built-in Shorts inside that I really wanted but I didn't buy it because I was hoping I'll find another one, exactly the same at the next mall. I was too lazy to go back. :( Maybe this just means that I need to be back there soon! Heehee.. "Don't worry, Baby. Mommy will pick you up as soon as possible!" <3

Tomorrow, I'll make reviews and swatches so keep on visiting my blog. I need your support! :)

Love,

Kath, xoxo

002 - The Booth and My New Babies

Here is my MU Station. I've been sorting them out and sold a lot already but still my booth is still so crowded. Maybe, I should get stack-up cabinets for the little ones. What ya think? :)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here are some of the stuff I got just this past month. I can't wait to get the new ones I just bought. ;) Weepee! :P

and Lime Crime Lipstick in Glamour 101 (Limited Edition)
P.S. LIME CRIME SUCKS!
They melt so easily like NYX and I really got disappointed with this Glamour 101,
I expected it to be dark like what's in their swatch, turns out it's just a Brownish-Red Shade. 1 Star for me. :|
