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!
