October Haul

Hello friends..

This post is going to be about my October haul with mini reviews on them. If you have any question regarding the products below feel free to post them in the comment box. Enjoy..


MAC Oh So Fair Beauty Powder
Venomous Villains Collection (Ltd Ed)

I haven't really been using this much lately because I'm been downsizing my makeup bag to the bare minimum at the moment and beauty powders are not counted as an essential. I aim to get more use out of this product by next month though and will have more to tell about it.


Bobbi Brown Sheer Finish Pressed Powder
in Warm Natural (No 6)

My absolute favorite face powder. Suits my skin tone, sheer and light yet still provides enough coverage to be used alone. Matches my MAC mineralized foundation (which I adore) perfectly. What more can I ask for? :)


MAC Beauty Powder in Azalea Blossom
Ltd Ed

My go-to blusher for the past few weeks. It doesn't come out purple at all! Provides such a sheer, natural flush to my cheeks. I wish that it's not Ltd Edition. Huhuhu... Had to take it out of my makeup bag though because the downsizing-makeup-bag-to-the-bare-essentials tingy.  


MAC Lipstick in Creme de La Femme

I've been wanting to get this for months and I finally got it! Yay! I don't usually go for frost colors especially pinks but somehow I think this works for me. I use it alone or with my MAC Quietone lipstick.


She Who Dares Mineral Eyeshadow 
Venomous Villains Collection (Ltd Ed)

I try to use this as much as possible. Sometimes I use it as an eyeliner on my lower lashes by itself for night time. For work I tone down the color by putting on black eyeshadow as my lower lash liner first then put this over the black shadow. Sparkles are a  no, no at the workplace... Unless you're in a line of work that involve late nights and disco lights.   


MAC Haute & Naughty Lash Mascara

I absolutely hate this mascara and I wish that I had never bought it! Seriously.. I find it really hard to find a MAC product that I hate and this is the first. I have 'rooftop' (atap) lashes and I need a mascara that can hold the curl in my lashes after I've used an eyelash curler. Somehow this mascara makes my mascara droop within 30 seconds of putting it on.. Grrr.. It might work for those who have naturally curly lashes though. Tell me if you've tried it and love it. 


MAC Superslick Liquid Eyeliner
Fabulous Felines Collection (Ltd Ed)

I love this eyeliner. It has a flexible tip which makes it easy to use and handle. This is the first liquid liner I've used that enables me to really control the thickness of the line on my lids. I wanted to buy it in KL but it was all sold out. Thank God I found one here in KK. Hehe...


The Body Shop Rainforest
Radiance Conditioner

I've given this product a review before recently and as an update I still find that this product makes my hair really soft and manageable.


The Body Shop Rainforest
Balance Shampoo

As an update review, I notice that if my hair becomes really oily I would need to shampoo twice using this shampoo. The first time would yield minimum lather and lathers more the 2nd time I shampoo my hair. I guess it's because this shampoo is formulated to be gentle on the hair and scalp that's why it's not strong enough to wash too much oil build up in one go. Still love it though because my scalp seldom itches since using this.


MAC Fluidline in Waveline

This is great to provide a pop of color and something different than the usual safe colors like brown and black. I do wish that I have a good liner brush so that I can enjoy using this product more.


Bobbi Brown Beauty Living Book

This book used to be so expensive so when I saw it sold at Harris bookstore at 1Borneo at RM19.90 I was so excited I almost danced in the store.. Haha.. It's mostly about makeup tips, looking beautiful while aging and how to reduce the effects of aging. Good for those 30 years old above and for those in their 20s who want to prevent the effects of aging from an early age.


MAC Paintpot in Rubenesque *sorry for the dark pic
that doesn't do the color any justice*

My ultimate favorite purchase of the month from MAC. Paintpots are categorized as eye shadow at MAC but it can actually be used as an eye primer and base. use this all the time as a base color. I love this so much that i think it deserves a specific review on it's own. LOVE!



Mac Mineral Eyeshadow
in Play on Plums

This is a really nice color and works well with the Rubenesque Paintpot. I have received compliments on it but I personally think that the plum color is a bit too warm for me. Maybe it's all in my head? I dunno but I'm going to experiment a bit more with this and see how it goes...
