My purchase amongst the goodies I got from M.A.C.

Well, these are the 2 I got.

Love the nail polish!

Kid Orange, the nail polish is definitely a stand out amongst the other nail polishes. It's a bright coral colour that makes one so happy just looking at the nails! The polish's a little thin, so I would recommend 3 coats on each nail for the true 100% colour to show. Top it up with a top coat and you're ready to make any Monday un-blue!

Swatch of the palette - Colour Added with flashlight.

This is without flash.

Below is a little tutorial on the eyes using the Colour Added Palette. Kinda went wild with the colours!

This is a close up of the look. Great idea for a themed party or Halloween.

And below us also a more normal looking eye makeup for your everyday chores.

Just a simple blending effect on the eye with a dash of yellow to brighten your day....

Hope you guys like it! Do share your photos if you've bought and used the items! :)

XOXO,

Majorlica Majorca Lash Expander Frame Plus (Midnight Blue

I was walking by Watsons Singapore and spotted this blue mascara from Marjolica Majorca. It's in the range of Majorlica Majorca's Lash Expander Frame Plus and I've been using their black mascaras for quite some time.

This mascara was launched with the Glass Trick Collection, but is still available at all Watsons stores. I love the Midnight Blue tone as the blue is not those striking, in-your-face, blue. This is a subtle blue that will show probably better under sunlight or when your friends look closer.

One great thing I love about Marjolica's mascaras is that they have these lash fibers that will immediately attach to your own lashes, extending them and giving them more volume! But I would suggest not to go too near to the lash roots 'coz the fibers might irritate your eye or fall into your eye, be very careful especially if you are wearing contact lenses.

Below are actually some ways on how you can enhance your blue lashes and how to wear them even to work, without looking too party girl~

A light sweet pink look to match those midnight blue lashes for work.

Colours can also be used to enhance your lashes. Try contrasting colours like Yellow, Orange and Red to bring out the Blue.

See how colours can help enhance the blue and how different colours can be used for different occasions?

Loving my long lashes!

Give the mascara a try! I bet you will fall in love with it too...

XOXO,

Tokidoki ADIOS 6 Piece Set

My hubby got me the Tokidoki ADIOS 6 Piece Set for Valentines' Day present! He noticed I've been eyeing it for so long, he got it for me! Imagine the excitement! I was literally jumping up and down when I opened the present. More about my V'day can be found here.

A look at the box design.

What lies with ADIOS?

Excited me.

Unveiling the beauty gadgets within. So scary to open his head...

The range of products found within.

So here's my little review about the products found in the set...

1) Cromatico Eyeshadow (Nancy Rocks)

The eyeshadow come is inspired by the Tokidoki character Nancy Rocks and it comes in a Tokidoki-logo shaped compact. I love the holographic purple hue and it suits my olive skin tone very well. The colour is easily shown even with just one brush stroke. I would say go with a bold eyeline for that futuristic feel.

Here's a little video on how to use the eyeshadow...

2)  Perfetto Eyeliner (Sabochan)

This is Sabochan.

I would say the eyeliner is marker type. Using the tip, you can get fine thin lines and if you slant it and draw using the side, you can get the perfect thick eyeline for cat eyes. The eyeliner is easy to remove, does not stain the eyelid and is also smudge proof!

3) Prisma Lip Gloss (Ciao Ciao)

Ciao Ciao herself.

What better way to pair Adios with Ciao Ciao? They are literally made for each other!

The lipgloss is a transparent pink lipgloss that brightens your lips. A tinge of strawberry smell makes you wana lick your lips! The lipgloss does not feel sticky, so go ahead and get your pouty lips some "action". I would say this lipgloss is a must get, use it on it's on or on top or any lip colour.

4) Fantastico Lip Stain (Carnivora)

I'm usually not a fan of colours that are too dark for my lips, but as this is a lip stain, the colour seeps nicely into my lips. The lip stain is like a marker, so I could get the colour to the corner of my lips easily without the help of a lip brush. Carnivora is a matt plum colour and I can get enough coverage with just one swipe. It doesn't feel dry and it has a berry taste to it! The lip stain does not feel sticky, it's almost like wetting your lips and dry in a few seconds leaving your lips with a beautiful shade of plum. Try it!

 That's the end of the review. I will post up the makeup video I did using these products. Stay tuned!

XOXO,
Christina aka Huney
