REVIEW & SWATCHES : MAC WATCH ME SHIMMER + FOTD


HAPPY SUNDAY!

It has been a pretty hectic end of the week (not that I am complaining) and weekend shenanigans but more on that later! :) Daylight savings officially ended for us peeps here in Sydney and yays to an extra hour of sleep!

So, if you are a ThroughBeautyEyes follower on twitter OR Instagram (@ThroughBeautyEyes), you would have probably already known that I have been pretty obsessed with this new bright coral lippie as of late. 

Looks familiar? ;)
Isn't this the MOST gorgeous coral shade EVER? Slightly more loud than your usual coral lippies, yet not overly bold. 

Huge thanks to my lover Miss Wendy and Co for grabbing it for me on her recent trip to Hong Kong. :)


MAC WATCH ME SHIMMER 
(Amplified)
From SHOP Collection. 

Natural Light

With Flash

Quick thoughts on this lippie: 

* GORGEOUS coral shade
* SUPER PIGMENTED - As this shade is of amplified formula, it is very pigmented. All you need is one sweep across your lips. 
*AMAZING LASTING POWER - It lasted me through morning coffee and breakfast with the water-sippings in between for at least 5 hours. Even then, the colour doesn't fade completely - just a tad lighter. 

This is the perfect lipstick for someone who wants to go for the statement lips look but wanna step away from the conventional bloody red lips.

A bold coral lips also emanates a young, vibrant and flirtatious vibe, me thinks. =P Perfect for a Friday night out after work, just a sweep and it instantly brightens up your entire look. 

HERE's a quick FOTD using MAC Watch Me Shimmer: 

FOTD using my favourite Stardust eyeshadow from the Sisley Mystic Harmony Collection (Reviewed & Swatched HERE)

With a darker shade on the outer corner of my eyes to give more dimension and complete the look with wing-ed eyeliner and generous coats of my favourite mascara. 

As I was using a bold lippie, I keep it simple with the blush, with my all time favourite Illamasqua Blush in Lover (BEST peach blush EVER!)

ON MY EYES
Urban Decay Primer Potion
Chanel Illusion D'Ombre in Illusoire
Sisley Pyoto Ombre Eclat Eyeshadown in Stardust
INGLOT Single Eyeshadow
Kiss Me Heroine Volume Waterproof Mascara
Maybelline Hyper Sharp Liner
Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil in Hazel

Have a good weekend lovelies!!!
