What a MAC-nificent Christmas and New Year!

January 5, 2010 Paris B 21 Comments

I love my friends. They have a sense of humour 😛 Look what I got for Christmas/New Year from 2 different friends.

Yes, products from MAC Cosmetics! 😀

With the MAC Languish Lipglass, my MAC lip collection has immediately swelled 100% (I had 0 before) and with the MAC Shy Beauty beauty powder, my MAC face collection just doubled (my only other MAC face product was Porcelain Pink MSF!) Teehee… thank you girlies!

Not a lover of things MAC but as I’ve said before, I love it when my friends force me out of my comfort zone and get me to try something I might not look at before 😀

Incidentally, I love the look of Shy Beauty. It says “Beauty Powder” but its a blush to me. Pretty shimmery one too. I believe it might be limited edition from a previous collection, so do let me know if you want a review on it.

Languish lipglass is a little brown compared to my usual lip colours, but I’m planning to use it in some experimental lip looks to darken light shades of lip colours that I rarely use. I’m not predisposed towards light lip shades so this will come in handy to add depth! I’ll let you know how it goes 🙂

You know what’s dangerous? Cafe World on Facebook. OMG I’ve been cooking and baking non stop since I got started on it just over the new year! The consolation is that after 3 days I’ve reached a high enough level to wonder “What now?” and realize the answer is “Nothing!” So I’m pretty much weaned off it 😛

Now I need to get off my virtual cafe and into my real time kitchen and do some serious cooking and baking! That’s another new year resolution! 😀

    Cafe world huh? Tell me about it man, I was hooked unto it for MONTHS, I’m at level 38, my life revolved around baking, cooking and serving the food after 12, 24, 48 hours on perfect precision timing so the food won’t go bad. By 1st Jan I told myself enough is enough, I want my life back! Hahahah 😀

    heehee…don’t worry, Languish doesn’t come off as dark as it looks in the tube. 😉 I think it’d rock if you paired with with falsies – siren on the prowl!! 😀

    HAha. Cafe World. coming from someone who needs people to suggested to write on her wall :p there are so many games that I wanna play on FB but I don’t wanna start. Used to have a huge addiction problem with the sims many years back.

    Brown lipglosses are great to tone down bright lippies. Can be quite magical 🙂

    From the photo, Shy Beauty reminds me of Benefit Dandelion. How do they compare? 🙂

    Me personally love MAC beauty powder blush instead of their regular blush. Yes, it is a limited edition and that’s why it so special compared to the regular one. It has more pigmentation and last longer and the texture is very soft and blend onto skin very well. This is my personal fav among my dozen blushes. I wish I own Shy Beauty, u’re so lucky to have that one.

    P/s : Do let me know if u want to swap. lol!

I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskinca I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskincare Aura Manuka Honey Mask. It blew my mind away! Soothes skin. Boosts hydration and just makes you feel like you have the best skin ever! Not kidding. If you have a spot or irritated skin, it calms it down and helps get rid of your spots too. Honey is anti bacterial after all, so it’s a great multitasker. 
I also love the Manuka Honey Skin brightening Day Cream. It’s light but creamy and sinks into the skin. I’ve reviewed them both on the blog in the past. If you run a search for Antipodes, you’d also notice how much I love the brand! 😁
I’m super late with this but if you’re planning to purchase any of these 3 Manuka honey items from TNS Skinlab, the code MYWSTUFF10 will give you an extra 10% off (until tomorrow 31 Dec) I highly recommend grabbing the Aura mask. You’ll never want to be without (I always have a backup!) 
Thanks for the gift @tnsskinlab and I must apologise for my tardiness 😩 I’ll learn to cope better from next week! 
Now I have to scuttle and write my year end musings. Some traditions must be kept! 😜

Place your order, and pick up in store or have it delivered. 
Had a bit of breather today and put together a little video. Blink and miss my little monster 🐶 helping me shop! Not sponsored but I did receive a gift from L’Occitane, for which my sun-exposed, dry dog-walking skin thanks you! 
Haven’t done any Christmas shopping this year. It has only just struck me that it’s but mere days away! 😨 Have you done yours?
