MAC Cosmetics

On my lunch hour, I went over to MAC Cosmetics to pick up a couple of gel liners (fluidline) in blacktrack (solid flat black) and dipdown (deep dark flat brown) and a new eyeshadow brush, #214 a short, rounded, double-chiselled brush with soft, natural bristles which can be used with shadow to line and smudge around the lash line and very effective for densely shading lids. I am so excited to try this new brush and I'm really excited to go back to the fluidline, I'm not liking the eye pencils for daily use as it's not as precise as using the fluidline! I heart shopping for makeup :)

Sephora Order Arrived!

My Sephora order FINALLY arrived! I ordered this on Jan. 29 but it didn't get shipped until Feb. 8 and finally arrived TODAY. But these were worth the wait! I do love Christian Dior's make up and these are even prettier in person! Sephora @ Pacific Centre did not have either of these products so I'm happy with the order altho it took so long to get them! I can't wait to use them!!!

Dior Dior Lace Illuminating Face Powder - Limited Edition $60 CDN5-Colour Designer All-In-One Artistry Palette - Amber Design $60 CDN

I love Sephora!

Last week, I had picked up a few items at Sephora cos I had received a 10% discount and I wanted to use this on some really nice and expensive items. I picked up a powder foundation by Smashbox called Halo Hydrating Perfecting Powder and Brush set, Makeup Forever Lift Concealer and trio eyeshadow (which I ended up returning cos I want to buy the Dior Palette instead!). I just love Sephora! I def will have to order the Christian Dior palette online since it seems that the PC Sephora is always out of the products I want!! I received quite a number of compliments on my face so I know this Halo powder is def working and I usually can't wear powder cos my skin is so sensitive but this one doesn't seem to irritate it as the others. It's a bit expensive but def worth it :) Hopefully, this will last at least 3 months then I can justify spending that kind of money on it!

Rumors have been circulating the blogs about the MAC Cosmetics and Hello Kitty collaboration for a min already, finally the news was confirmed. The limited edition collection will be available at MAC’s website on February 10, 2009 and in MAC US stores on February 12, 2009 (just in time for Valentine’s Day too!) and overseas stores in March 2009- mark your calendars ladies this collection is going to fly off the counters! Not only did they create a range of cosmetics, there’s also a line of accessories: a Petite Makeup Bag ($22), a medium Makeup Bag ($35), a plush doll ($42), purse mirror ($22), three-brush collection ($49.50), a mirrored key clip ($16), beaded bracelet ($34), a tote ($45) and soft vanity kit ($55).

The Hello Kitty collection consists of two collections: the Hello Kitty Colour Collection and the more high-end Hello Kitty Kouture. The Hello Kitty Colour Collection includes “six shades of lipstick with names like Fashion Mews and Strayin’, each $14; six Lipglass shades, each $14; and two tinted lip conditioners, $14.50 each; two eye shadow palettes, which each contain four shades and retail for $38; two shades of pigment are $19.50 each, and two Reflects Glitter stockkeeping units — one blue, one pink — are $17.50 each.

The Hello Kitty Kouture collection is more of a high-end line and great for collectors as well. The range consists of “two shades of Dazzleglass, each $28, each feature a reusable silver chain pendant with Hello Kitty outlined in white Swarovski crystals on black with a pink crystal bow. Sheer Mystery Powder, $90 and available in three shades, is packaged in a silver powder compact with Hello Kitty outlined in white Swarovski crystals with a pink crystal bow on a black background.”
