MAC lipsticks collection

I must confessed that I'm a lipstick's junkie.. I love love love love lipstick...

Today, i wanna share with you guys on my MAC lipsticks collection which i collected over the years.

The price for MAC's normal lipstick is RM74 (included GST). 

Most of my lipsticks are purchased at MAC Mid Valley because the SA there are so friendly. I don't like MAC at Pavilion, maybe i too "bawah" (low class) for their "atas" (high class) services. 

Every time i went to MAC, my eyes is like "ssshhhiingggg" (shinning star shape eyes) on those lipsticks. i want to have all their matte color. Oh ya, i kinda of a bit obsessed with matte lipsticks. I don't like those super glossy girly girly pink pink lipstick, is like you just ate Chow Kuey Teow without wipe your lips.... and those shine shine one like you pasang (have) laser light on your lips...


Currently I have 10 MAC lipsticks in my collection. There were two colors here are limited edition, sorry ladies~~


These are all the 10 colors swatches on my hand. *ignore my hair" . Nouvelle Vogue and La Vie En Rouge are limited edition which i bough last year.

Ready? Let's get our lipstick's journey started. BTW, actually i have snap close up picture on my lips but is so so so horrible after few swatches... so i decided not to put it up.



Ya...this is my naked lips... sexy right? I know~ *thick face*. Obviously i'm Asian and my skin color is NC25.

Ok, here comes the first color~~


Razzle Dazzler, this one is Lustre finishing which have very sheer coverage and glossy. Yes, i bought this without trying and i don't like it. I bought this when i still very "vege bird" (new) to MAC lipstick.


This lipstick kinda of washed me out a bit, because the color is very sheer so the more i put, the more i look like just ate 10 plates of Chow Kuey Teow. But I do get compliment when i use this lipstick, maybe they like my Chow Kuey Teow look~


Here come my love nude lipstick - Kinda Sexy like me~ LOL.. This one is matte finishing so a bit drying, drinking more water la~! I can do anything just to get perfect lips color~

This color really is my perfect nude color, as you can see on the picture above~ I really left that much only... *how do i live without you~~~~~~~~*


When I wanted a low profile lips' color or i have no idea what lipstick to apply, usually I go for this. Oh yeah this is my kinda sexy day~~~~~ yeah babe~~

Perfect nude lipstick some time is hard to find, i have one other brand nude lipstick~after i apply is like i don't have lips~!!! Like hello kitty........ eerrmmm~meow?


This one i bought when i have Kylie Jenner fever that time and people over the internet guessing this the color she is using - Faux is a Satin finishing which just like matte finishing but with a touch of sheen in there.


As you can see from the picture, this ain't Kylie Jenner's color on me... "Kena" (get) cheated...
This color is a bit pink compare with Kinda Sexy, if wanna apply this lipstick~ my outfit have to be very spring type~
if not i look so sick... so so so sick~


Another love of my life - Mocha is a satin finishing and yes i only left this much as the picture above.

If I don't want Kinda Sexy day than i go for Mocha day... this color is like lighter version of dark brown.. erm...i don't know what i'm saying but you will get what i mean.


This is the Kylie Jenner lips' color i want~! Brown but not too dark~ I love it~

Some time i do use it as lip liner over my kinda sexy, "boh lui" (no money) buy lip liner.


This is Nouvelle Vogue - matte finishing but is Limited Edition.

This one is a normal wearable pink, not those hello kitty pink.


I love this pink on me, this pink have blue undertone, suitable as everyday pink.

i din't use this color very often cause i scare if finish, how? MAC how? how? how?


Morange - My first MAC lipstick, morange. Is an amplified finishing which opaque coverage just like matte finishing but less drying. This color is very bright, usually i use dabbling motion to apply this lipstick. Last time super into K-pop lips style~


As you can see, so bright~ *shinning bright like a diamond*.

If apply four coat, you can see me at the end of the road, like two light sticks~

But this color still looks good when after apply two coat than use tissues gently press on the lips to remove the shine and the color, left the color stain on.


This is a super red, matte lipstick - La Vie En Rouge, sorry~ is a Limited Edition as well.


Once in a blue moon, i will wear this lipstick but i still love it.

Super bright and super dark color is so hard to apply without using a brush. Even with brush i use quit a long time to apply it.


Brick-O-La - is an amplified finishing. Is a very everyday kind of red. Not too red, not too plum~


  When i need a touch of bright color lips on me,usually.. "Brick-o-la i choose you"~! Very wearable~


That day accompany my friend go MAC, saw one of the SA use this color... Oh Man~! i'm in love~

Viva Glam III - is a matte finishing, is a dark brown color.

Every cents of selling price of Viva Glam series donated to MAC AIDS Fund so when you buy a Viva Glam lipstick or lipglass, you are doing charity.


To wear this lipstick, must make sure the outfit and make up is very on point.

This color is very dark plum brown color, very "chio" (stylish).


Lastly, here comes my vampire-ish lipstick - Diva. The color just like it's name and is matte finishing, have a ever see a diva wearing pinky Chow Kuey Teow lipstick? Hell ya. Diva = dark bold lips!


My mum say i looks like vampire... and again i wear this lipstick once in a blue moon.

Malaysia don't have four season, no winter = no dark lipstick.

But i still want to have this color in my collection.

So, these are all my MAC lipsticks collection. Any recommend color for me?

Ichiriki The Gardens Mall



Last Monday, I went to this Japanese Restaurant (Non-Halal) with my friends. I bought the coupons form Groupon which cost RM22 Nett per coupon for weekday. As I know Groupon will have on and off selling this coupon. Is totally worth it. It just located at The Gardens Mall. 


On the table you will see there are 3 types of sauces which the first one in a red tea pot thing is for the deep fried food, it tasted sweet but not super sweet. The second bottle is for the salad, if i not mistaken is a plum sauce. While for the third red container, i guess it is a Japanese Soy Sauce. 

So, because I bought from Groupon I only can choose 1 out of 3 in another special menu which i forgotten to take picture. Actually the set are similar, 2 sets are come with deep fried black pork which serve with rice and a small hotpot soup while the other one is serve with 3 types of cold noodles and a sushi hand-roll.  Another choice is serve with deep fried ebi (Prawn). 

Below are the menu for your references:










I tried the gyoza before but it tasted so so only, not something i will craving for.


Here comes our food~!!! We had had the same lunch set.


Ladies, is quit a big portions~~~ you have to make a big room for your stomach.
This set serve with small hot-pot (kimchi soup base with cabbage, spring onion and a few slides of pork), a Japanese white rice, deep fried black pork, chawamushi, sesame and fruits. 





You have to smash the sesame with the small wood stick, the waiter there will help you to do so.


After that, mix the sauce with the sesame to eat together with the pork. (*i forgotten to take the stick out before i pour, i'm sorry*)



The plum sauce is for the vege which come with black pork.



Dip a good amount of the sauce and enjoy it.


It taste crispy on the outside and tender meat inside. IT WAS NOT OILY at all. Oh my black pork~



The chawamushi is not the best in the town but still GOOD. It so soft ~


THIS mini hot-pot soup, the meat inside is quit nice tho, i finished the whole pot of the soup. Just nice, wont too spicy.

I definitely will come back again.

Rate : 4.5/ 5.0 (Their service is quite Good, the staff very polite)

The restaurant located at The Gardens 1st Floor, Lot F-237B . Which located near Isetan

REVIEW : MAC Pro Longwear Nourishing Waterproof Foundation




Let start by describing a bit about my skin condition before my review on this product. My skin is oily combination type, my T-zone is quite oily especially after 5 hours after i wake up. My color is NC 25 and I have uneven skin tone and scarring on the cheeks. 

Product Name
:
Pro Longwear Nourishing Waterproof Foundation
Description (in the website)
:
A tenacious waterproof formula that can be used as a foundation or concealer, wearing for an unprecedented 24 hours. Neither rain nor tears can budge this oil-free watertight product that actually repels moisture from the surface of the face. The formula blends seamlessly on the skin with medium to full weightless coverage and a natural satin finish.

Size
:
25ML/ 0.84 FL OZ
Price
:
RM164.00 (Included GST)

I'm not so sure how many shades does this product come with because in the website is show only 13 shades without NC25 but i got my NC25 in MAC store Mid Valley Megamall. 


First of all - the packaging, is tube type so is very light but with a solid cover. I like this packaging because is very hygiene and easy to carry around. 



At the back of the packaging, it stated that this product can directly apply to face or body, blend with finger, sponge or brush. I personally like to apply foundation using my finger.



So, this is me without any foundation but just moisturizer which you can see i had a bad skin. 

The consistency of this foundation is a bit thicker but a little goes a long way. 


I applied primer before put on the foundation, the left side is with a thin one layer of foundation and the right side just primer. As you can see the color of my skin, the left side is very obvious more fair compared to the right. 


This is after applied one layer of foundation. 

If you have a very nice skin just want to even out your skin tone and a sheer coverage than one layer is enough. 


I prefer more coverage so i put two layers on. This is after 15 minutes I put on two layer and set with loose powder. I finished the makeup with bronzer and blusher just to add some dimension. 


This are the picture i took under natural sun lighting. 


So here is the before and after MAC Pro Longwear Nourishing Waterproof Foundation. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is been total around 5 hours i wearing this foundation



As you can see the picture above. Everything seems fine just I have oily skin so there are some shine on da face. In the product description, it says it is a satin finish so a little bit shine still ok~ we got that blotting paper.

Meanwhile, in the packaging it says waterproof so i gently splash some water on my face... awesome!

 
Yes, my eyebrow... i know... is not waterproof so after splashed some water gone abit.
Back to the foundation, after I splashed some water on my face~ i dry it with tissue, awesome! Just a tiny tiny a bit foundation came off on the tissue and my shine all gone. Just Awesome. Maybe next time i no need to use bloating paper, just wash my face and put some powder over it~ ta-dah~!

Conclusion:

Pros : Lightweight medium to full coverage that can be sheered out if desired. Looks natural on skin. WATERPROOF.
Cons : A bit sticky. Difficult to put on second layer after the first layer dry. 
Rate : 4.0/5.0 

Thanks for reading.
