Got all these stuffs from Taiwan. Seriously I didn't intend to get so MUCH make up. I only wanted the blotting powder (to blot out the oil) but ended up getting all these. My grandma bought all these stuffs for me =) so blessed~! but feel so bad making her spend so much money on me throughout the entire trip there...
'Overview' of the stuffs i got
This was a 'free' gift. You get it when you spend $xxx amount of money. Its prep and prime and its a make up base. Its like lavender so I guess it brightens up your face. I haven't used this yet because I am already using green and lavender make up base from Laneige. Those are pretty good as well =)
This is the Studio Sculpt Foundation SPF 15. This is like the n-th foundation I have used! I mean I have been foundation hopping ever since I started make up. Tried many different brands but can't quite seem to settle on one. This one sadly doesn't really work for me as well. I think its too thick and heavy for my daily use. It makes my face even more oily~ Sigh...
This is the blot pressed powder which I went to MAC to get but ended up getting a whole lot more stuffs. This is just pressed powder with really sheer and light coverage, so that it does not add too much colour to your existing foundation and it would not look like its 'caked' on.
This is how it looks like on the inside
I actually don't use the powder puff they provide. I use a kabuki brush from Body Shop. I love body shop brushes =) more so than mac. They are soft and dense and feel really good on the skin~
Really like this lip gloss colour! =) Its called Cremesheen glass (don't really get the name hah) but ya its really nice... The mac counter sales lady had it on her lips and my grandma was like this colour is nice~ You should get one too~ And i got it =) Speaking of which, the mac counter sales lady was really REALLY friendly and helpful. I find the MAC ppl in Taiwan a whole lot more friendly than MAC ppl in Singapore. OOpsss! But its the truth! There were a few times I went to MAC counters in Singapore and the staff were like blah... I hardly saw any of them there. The few that I saw were like busy doing their OWN make up. Tsk tsk... SO even though I have visited like a few times I have only bought on two occassions~ Even so they were sold out of a brush I wanted and I asked them to call me but they DID'NT. So i really have a bad impression of the MAC ppl here. SIGH~
Yup anyways! Enough of complaints and BACK to MAC =p The colour is called Partial to Pink. Cute =) I love this colour.
Here's a swatch in case you were wondering...
This is a cremesheen lipstick =)
Its called Creme Cup
That's how it looks =) It does add a little colour but the lady said that it was to like 'correct' the colour on my lips. So I guess its sort of a lip base as well~
I use this a lot more than Partial to Pink actually. Because this is matte?? and its more practical for daily use. The cremesheen glass has gloss to it and its a bit 'dressy' so I use it lesser...
This is Mineralize foundation/loose powder. I guess you can use it as a foundation? But I use it as loose powder, to like touch up during the day when my face gets oily etc.
Comes with a sponge protector and a sponge applicator. I think the applicator is cute =) And then again being the odd me... I do not use the applicator instead I use my Kabuki brush from The Body Shop.
This is my gel eyeliner. My first time trying gel liner and I am loving it =) This shade is in black and its called Blitz and Glitz.
That's how it looks, in a mini small tub
The inside of it. Its so smooth looking I almost don't want to use it~!
I bought this eyeliner brush because I did not have such a thin slanted eyeliner brush. This is the MAC 266. I like this brush a lot =) And it works really well with the gel liner. I used to swear by liquid eyeliners. I have used mostly drugstore brands. My last one from loreal smudged a lot and by the end of the day it was almost gone because of my oily lids. The gel liner lasts really long for me. And since I have oily lids, eyeliners tend not to stay. But this one does. And I am happy =)
This is Sheertone Blush
This is how it looks like =) This shade is called Pink Swoon. Like it =) Gives me rosy cheeks~
Always a fan of pink blush. Don't like orange tone blush. I think they look odd (at least on me)
This is the MAC 316. Its a lip brush but sadly I haven't had a chance to use it yet. That's cos I apply my cremesheen glass and lipstick directly to my lips. Perhaps I should use it with my Body shop lip balm =)
So that's all! Hope you found it interesting, informative =) Tata~
