Favorites from May!

A bad waxing job whose ramifications lasted a week bounds to make me hate June!When I had to look back to may I was euphoric with all the shopping I had done. And mostly makeup no surprises there :D

I had a great time enjoying the feel of new makeup on my face.

U can easily guess the shades if U have read my previous posts :)

• Revlon Colorburst in Soft Rose
• Revlon Lip Butter in Tutti Fruiti
• MAC Lustre in See Sheer

I prefer cream finish and balmy lipsticks even in Summers due to my perennially chapped lips. And these 3 were my flings in May.I fear I and See Sheer might get into a relationship with the amount of people complimenting on "How perfect we are for each other"

 

 The chocolate scented and low on shimmer highlighter is a winner on my face. Instantly perks up if used in minimal amount :)

My Colossal kajal got over at the start of week and I did not have time or energy for buying another one. So I came back to this. Does not smudge and stays put for more than 7 hours under ac environment.  Already one of the best products I used in 2012!

MAC See Sheer Lipstick Review with Swatches!!

My First MAC lipstick Review!! Yaaay!!

I had always wanted Cosmo as my first MAC but it did not exactly flatter me under the store lights. Actually no lipstick did but I wanted Crosswires and Mehr.As both were OOS I picked this up along with Captive :)

MAC See Sheer is the most flattering peachy coral I have come across! And this is not coming from me cuz it is my first MAC. Honestly I am liking it more than my Revlon Soft Rose and that is saying something ;) If u are looking to buy a summer color from MAC then check this out! I guarantee u would be floored by the color especially if u are fair-medium.

The packaging is standard MAC so I am not gonna dwell on it.
 
It is from the Lustre Finish range of MAC and provides sheer coverage with one swipe. But the opacity can be built to almost 75-80%.

Has a soft honey like texture and gives a glossy finish. Is lightweight and hence would not bleed like other creamy lipsticks. Keeps my lips hydrated. 

The only con is the staying power which is just 2 hours on me :\ But I do not mind reapplying :)

I have dry lips and I always use a lip balm underneath lipsticks. This one does not settle into my fine lines.I saw sum reviews complaining about it but thank God that does not happen with me ;)

It goes well with coral and peach blushes :) Totally a no fuss lipstick that can be worn with minimal makeup for the soft look and not to forgot the delicious vanilla smell :D 

Layer Revlon Papaya gloss over this to attain Coral Nirvana :)

VERDICT :

A coral color that stole my heart with its glossy finish and dry lip friendly texture :)  If u have more pink in ur lips it would probably look a pinky coral on u. It is my first MAC and if at all it gets over am gonna re purchase for sure ;)
 

No More a MAC Virgin!!

U know the feeling u get when something u long desired for is in ur hands! U feel like a u r in a dream albeit a beautiful dream! Feels the whole world is in slow motion and ur heart swells in pride and satisfaction :D

This is exactly what happened when the MAC SA gave me the bag with my first MAC goodies! 

Also I got the Kryolan Customized Blush palette :) Another great moment of my life :D Deeps helped me select the shades :*

The first makeup item that I bought (not considering the lipsticks for dance programs) was a blush :) I can never have enough of them! So I wanted this palette to be a part of my first big haul :)

 I got all d pretty colors that I wanted except a peach :P See?? I can never be satiated. Nevertheless I own 6 oomphalicious blush colors from Kryolan :)

Now for the eye feast ;)

I got the Kryolan blushes in shade :

• Mandarin
• Mocca
• F22
• YouthRed
• R6

and MAC Lipsticks in 

• See Sheer
• Captive 

 It is a great news that Kryolan now accepts order for customized blush palette :) I was more than happy when the SA offered to create my palette.

So what do u think of my haul?? After putting up the pics I realized how much I love colors.
