MAC haul: to the beach

So like any other MAC adoring public, i fell into the hype for the Marine Life Highlight. or whatever it's called. i'm not even a MAC fan. i just read Temptalia all the time. :P

right, the reason i wanted Marine Life Highlight, besides the pretty seahorse design (check out the pygmy seahorse), is the color. it's a pretty corally pink, and i do not have that range of blush in my stash. a lemming is born.

it launch last friday, i was on leave, i reached the counter at maybe 1.30pm. it was sold out, "everywhere" said the MA. i also checked out the isetan counter, and even DFS. -ve. it launch at 12pm.

yesterday i was feeling emo and what i needed was some pretty bright corals. LOL! tried tangs vivocity. nil. i went back to cityhall and got Hipness instead. a similar but not so orange and more pink. happy!

i also bought crosswires lipstick. it looks so different on me. more dark red. now i want a Korres Mango butter with SPF, which will do nicely on my European/Meditarranean vacation.

i'm on a new juice diet, consisting of one potato(small), 1 celery stalk and half a green apple, maybe half a carrot. and some lemon juice to prevent oxidation. it's suppose to expel my body's accumulation of uric acid etc so i will get less aches and pains. it seems to be working. plus it stopped my gastric reflux somewhat. potato juice is not bad LOL.

haul for the month

as usual we were in town today, and all i intended to get today were



to orgarnize my polishes, and these, to replace some basics that i've overgrown.



something i saw a few weeks ago and it's been bugging me.



but i had to pass by Tangs to get to the Guardian at the Paragon and noticed the big posters advertising the official launch of MAC's Liberty of London collection, plus some cute dresses on display. so we went in. these resulted...



a pretty dress not made out of chiffon. the lining is cotton and not those polyester things that get really warm.

i also bought myself my first pair of sunglasses at the The Spectacle hut(Taka watson's) at a 20% discount.

i got them in anticipation of a great big summer vacation. these are the only one of the few that fit me well without my lashes brushing on the lens or the frame sitting on my cheeks.

check out the cute butterfly details.





I also made the DH pay for my first MAC item ever. mwa ha ha!! i'm going to pay him back, i just want to utilise his card to clock points for TANGS.



one of the reasons i checked out the Liberty range was because of the packaging. i love flowery botanical prints. i tried Peachstock and Blooming Lovely and i loved them both. unfortunately for me they ran out of BL. Vivocity still had 9 pieces left but i'm not that obsessed with makeup to actually drag the DH down for it. however, if anyone of you out there who has Blooming Lovely and doesn't like it can sell it to me :)))

my first swap and Lavshuca hauls

i had a spare brand new IMJU Deja vu fibrewig and decided to put it up for swap in MUA. some one contacted me about it and i decided to swap her for a MAC lipglass. Hello Kitty's "She Loves Candy"

LOL! my first MAC item and a Hello Kitty collection no less!



it's a light pink with gold glitter. I LIKE <3

i was reading some Taiwan and Japanese(can't read jappy but i like to look at pictures haha) and i saw the ad for the Lavshuca Dramatice Memory Rouge. oh my, my inner princess fell in love with the packaging and i decided that i must have it. in the end i tracked them down on Ebil Bay selling at a reasonable price. i bought 2.



i selected the colors based on the official swatches and looks plus swatches on LotusPalace

both colors came out nude on my lips. they're both pigmented enough to cover my mauvish colored lips. i lurved them to bits. so much so that i ordered another 2 more Mini Jewelry lips (Adambeauty) to try. i can't wait for them to arrive.

on sunday i bought a pitcher plant at the Pasar Malam.



i am extremely please with it. hopefully it will help reduce the fruitflies that are always in my apartment.

and here's the MAO MAO hamming it up.
