ILS--> MAC Venomous Villains Lipglass Hot House

I think I've tweeted about how "un-interesting" the venomous villains collection is, when I first saw the pictures,
but after a while, I was looking around on internet and I started to wondering how they look like in real, so I viewed some swatches on temptalia.com
Some products are really amazing!! and pretty as well!
I made a very short list for myself
I wanted to get the beauty blush in # Bite of an apple, lipglass in # Revenge is sweet and # Hot house


First I love the packagings of this collection!

Today I went to the MAC store, and I saw there are still a few products left from this collection
So I asked if they had the lipglass #hot house in stock, and the make up artist said, YES! It's the last one!!
I was like: OMG! I have to get it
I didn't think...within a second I decided to buy it, just because it was the last one! hahahaha
I tried it on when I got home and i have no regrets!
because its sooooo pretty!
It may look very purple-ish in the container, but it's actually not that purple!
It has pink shimmers and the pink shimmers are so pretty in combination with raspberrycolor

Some swatches
No flash

I was looking for a decent jewelry box then I found these stackable boxes,there are 5 different boxes( I think)
the one has no compartments,other divided in 3 compartments, and others in 5 levels and i got the one with 3 levels and a ring compartment



The uper one cost 29.95 and the other stackers cost 19,95 each

Got a pair of boots drom Cafe moda, I love this store =D they have nice boots

ILS--> MAC Viva glam Cyndi lipglass



Long time no see,
I've been very busy lately, so I stopped blogging for a while.
But, being busy doesn't mean that I stopped shopping :o hahaha
I wanted to get the Cyndi lipglass since I first saw it on internet...I think it's so pretty
and since I also own the viva glam cyndi lipstick I want this one even more
The color are not very similar.
The lipglass has more dimension and the lipstick is also pretty but not as flattering as the lipglass
 The packaging..here below, I love that packaging!
Here are some pics :D
Comparison with the lipstick, they look very similar, but they're actually different
Here are the swatches
Sorry I didn't appy it well xD just ignore it=D

ILS--> Maybelline Superstay lipcolor


Last week I was hanging in the city mall in almere, and I looked around, the maybelline superstay lipcolor was 50% everywhere...
I read reviews before about how amazing these are, so I wanted to try
I swatched almost every color I could find...I tried to swatch every color by looking them at different drugstores..
Finally I decided to buy....
I wanted 2 colors number 431 (silk pink) and 419(raspberry)
but since I couldn't find 419, so I bought #431 first to try
And I like it....the consistency is good, though it dries within a minute=S after it dries, you have to apply the other side, its a lipbalm and it makes your lips shine and glossy
It does its job, its super long lasting....but it does chip after a few hours..but I don't mind to apply it once again :P
And then after 3-4 days I stopped by the Kruidvat in Muziekwijk, then I found #419!! YAY

I have the swatches of #419...I think I lost the swatches of #431
I really like this color, it matches my skin color and makes it appear brighter=)
It's so pigmented and smooth to apply

I really like the lipstick in general, it has a large collection of colors and the price is very reasonable


Product ★★★★★
Price★★★★★(it was 50% discount)
Packaging★★★☆☆
repurchase? Definetly!!

ILS--> MAC Pro palette

Last week I went to the MAC store to buy the MAC pro palette and 4 more eyeshadow refills
Since I study in Amsterdam it's easy for me to go to the MAC store by public transfer
I already knew what I wanted to buy, cuz everytime before I go to the MAC counter/store, I'll do my "homework". I will check on internet how the colors look like so that I have an idea of which colors I want to purchase.
I was there and looking at the eyeshadows, I had a list of few eyeshadows that looked nice on internet. I wasn't sure if I wanted them, so I swatched them once again. But still, there were so many eyeshadows that made it difficult for me to decide which 4 I want to take.
The make-up artist helped me, she recommended the same color I wanted to buy, it was really funny. I told her which one I had in mind, and she said, thats exactly the one I wanted to pick up for you xD

In the end I picked up these four colors: Era(satin), Orb(satin), Charcoal brown(Matt) and Creme de voilet(frost)
AND ofcourse a 15 pro palette

Anyways...lets start.
First I depotted my 11 MAC eyeshadows. There are so many ways to depot MAC eyeshadows, I looked on youtube by searching: How to depot MAC eyeshadows?
Then I found a several video's that were useful.
Check this video:
It's from Makeupgeek


I think it's the most simple way to do it!
Even for me it's easy XD
In 30 min I depotted 11 eyeshadows, it doesn't take long at all!
The most difficult part is to remove the glue xD....imagine that!

This is how my MAC pro palette looks like
Top row:
Style snob(LE-Starflash), Orb(Satin), Cranberry(frost), Off the page(LE-frost) and Carbon(Matt)
Second row: Fineshine(LE-Lustre), Era(Satin), Lotusland(LE-starflash), Sushi Flower(Satin) and Aquadisiac(lustre)
Third row: Electra(frost), Charcoal Brown(Matt), Creme de Violet(frost) and Newly Minted(disc-Matt2)

Suddenly I realised that I have a several Limited edition eyeshadows...hahaha
Maybe it's because I buy them mostely online :P

Anyways....I wanted to get a few items from the venomous villains collection, but I didn't have time. The collection was available start last week saturday, (the MAC mua told me) but I wasn't really sure if I wanted to get them...cuz I'm totaly broke
Now I'm sure I am not going to get them at all, but I still want to share which items I wanted to get
Beauty blush in Bite of an apple
Lipglass in Revenge is sweet
Lipglass in Hot house

As you know...I'm very busy with my study now, so I barely have time to write blogs and do make up looks....I'm sorry but it's just a period..a hard period that I'm going through.....
I'll write an other blog as soon as possible =)
byeeee!
