[What's New] The M.A.C Isabel & Ruben Toledo Collection Swept Me Off My Feet

Hi Huneybees,

I swept them all up like a #Toledo! This is a very exciting collection from M.A.C as they collaborates with fashion’s most romantic couple - Isabel and Ruben Toledo!

"They are renowned for their award-winning and imaginative work in fashion design and illustration. This unique collaboration with M·A·C pairs Isabel’s sensational penchant for colour with Ruben’s vibrant energy in a palette of hues designed to sculpt, paint and transform the face. Specially designed white packaging features Ruben’s illustrations, an array of graphic lines and red-lipped faces brought to life with his one-of-a-kind aesthetic.”

 

I'm already a M.A.C addict and when you start throwing colours and nicely designed packaging at me, I would fall head over heels uncontrollably. I splurged like a Toledo (*Tornado, get it?) and there was no regrets at all!

I didn't sweep up the whole collection, but here's some swatches I took in store, before I share with you a tutorial with the ones that I have. 

*These are limited editions, so some of them might have already been swept up at the launch ~

So for the eyes, there are 3 palettes - Bellgreens, Moodyblu and Violetwink. I have the Bellgreens, so I would be sharing them later, but here's the lovely blue palette - Moodyblu and purple pink palette - Violetwink.

The more fun and surprising products have got to be the coloured eyeliners and mascara, that will be so inviting for the summer time fun under the sun!

And if you are a fan of gradient blushers, you have got to get these 3 shades of lovely blushers ranging from soft pink to peach for that sun-kissed look.

And like I told you, colours are major in this collection, choose from a range of 6 lipsticks and 6 lip glosses to complement that beautiful eye makeup of yours. Oxblood was a top favourite that night and I was glad I managed to snag one for myself! Yipee!

In the collection are also 3 shades of nail polishes - Faint of Heart, Venus Red and Vixen, as well as a Powder Blush Brush that comes with a pouch and a unique Makeup Bag that features all the wonderful graphics of the collection.

On the day of the launch, I also got a little makeup touch up with the lime green Chlorafill eyeliner and Sin on my lips. Hehehehe, that sounded kinda badass eh? So what do you think of the look? I will share more of the video once I'm done with the editing. Stay tuned k?

[What's New] Get Unique & Vampy With M.A.C x Nasty Gal Lipsticks

Hi Huneybees,

Nasty Gal is definitely not a stranger to the savvy online shoppers with their unique and funky apparels ranging from brands Jeffrey Campbell, UNIF, MinkPink and more. That is also why when they have collaborated with M.A.C Cosmetics to come up with a collection that's fast snapped up in US. I had to rush down to the M.A.C counters early in the morning to nab the colours of lipsticks I wanted!

The collection features 3 of this season's boldest, baddest lip colors (deep purple, bombshell red and rich burgundy lipsticks) as well as a nail polish, but for Singapore, we are only getting the 3 lippies. These colours are not your usual nude and red lipsticks, they would definitely go well with Nasty Gal's sense of fashion style for risk takers and tastemakers. Style has attitude, and so do you!

From left to right: Gunner, Stunner, Runner

Say hi to Gunner, Stunner and Runner! I skipped on Stunner as I already have too much red lipsticks, I'm more into the vampy Gunner and Runner. But here's a swatch of the 3 lipsticks and how Stunner looked on me.

Stunner is your badass bombshell red lipstick that is like its name, stunningly standout, matching your fierce sense of style. This matte formula is pretty close shade to come in between M.A.C's Ruby Woo and Mac Red.

So, let's move on to my purchased 2 other shades - Gunner and Runner.


The collection's must have has got to be Gunner. The vampy dark purple with cool undertone lippie is simply easy to glide on and definitely a must have for the leaders. 

Entrepreneurship is for hustlers only--you have to make people want what you're selling and it's competitive as hell. 'When dealing in vintage, you never reveal your source.' Lucky for you, we're letting you in on this little secret--to get what you want, sometimes getting loud and lippy (while rocking the perfect shade of violet) is mandatory. --- Sophia Amoruso, CEO of Nasty Gal

Runner is the ideal medium-dark, burgundy red tone with subtle, warm undertones and a satin finish. It glides on easily, but isn't too even, I had to apply it for a few layers to get this shade. But when wearing this lipstick, be sure to have lipbalm on before having the lipstick, as it can be pretty drying on the lips.

Sophia ran away from convention, capitalism and the suburbs, an adventure that caused her to eventually run smack into something she did want--Nasty Gal, and the perfect shade of bordeaux for the boardroom.

Runner is a close colour to Sin and you can also take a look at Diva, which is a slightly more brownish toned lipstick...

So, you Nasty Gals, if you are fans of the brand and dark lippies, pop on over to the  M.A.C counter at ION Orchard Sephora, to get your hands on these limited edition colours!

[Get The Look] Alternative To Christian Louboutin’s Rouge Louboutin Nail Art

Hi Huneybees,

20 years ago, a red nail polish inspired the world famous, most coveted signature red sole stilettos. Christian Louboutin was instantly inspired by the cherry-red polish that his assistant was using and painted the bottoms of his prototype heels with the lacquer. And now, Christian Louboutin returns to nail colour, giving us the perfect Louboutin mani with the Christian Louboutin Rouge Louboutin nail lacquer.

It is a specially designed tool to help you paint on the underneath of your nails red with absolute precision. The polish comes in the classic Louboutin red and features a felt-tip-style applicator, which makes light work of painting this tricky area. From the inside of the towering seven-inch calligraphy-inspired cap peeks out a flash of red - an echo of the color of the iconic sole. It is modeled after the heel of the Ballerina ULTIMA, the highest heel Christian Louboutin ever designed, and perfectly weighted to ensure the utmost ergonomic comfort and control. 

But, not everyone could lay their hands on this amazing tool and here's a fuss-free way of getting the same Loutboutin mani done. Ready?

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

• Red nail polish
• Black nail polish
• Scotchtape

Step 1

Turn your hand over so the palm is facing up. Place strips of about 3cm scotchtape along your nails, going as close to the nails as possible.

Step 2

Once you have taped all 5 fingers,  paint a thin layer of base coat to the underside of your nail tips (this is so that the red nail polish does not stain your nails). Let it dry and apply 2 coats of red polish on each finger.

I've used the OPI Over & Over A-Gwen nail polish as I prefer the flat brush for easy application. Be sure to let each layer dry, before applying a new layer. Then, seal it with a thin layer of top coat.

Step 3

Once done and dried, peel off the tapes and turn your hands over to paint your nails in black. Don't forget a layer of base coat before proceeding with the 2 layers of black nail polish and seal with top coat.

So, there you have it, easy peasy way to get yourself the Louboutin nails eh? It works even better if you have longer nails and work it like Adele! 

You can also play with different colours like beige or cream polish to replicate the brand's trendy nude pumps. Have fun and go "strut" those nails!
