FOTD - Tiny Dancer ft Hang Loose

Lately, I find myself reaching out for the neutral single eye shadows a lot and alternating between them instead of playing with my 88 warm shadow palette or Alice in the Wonderland palette. I think I am just lazy like this - opening the palette and going through them to find the suitable colours seems to be too much of an effort. =.="

This is another neutral FOTD using Sports Girl's Tiny Dancer (review here) and ELF Single Eyeshadow in Raspberry Truffles for a quick & neutral eyes :) I have been ignoring Tiny Dancer for quite a while as I have been using NYX Single Eyeshadow in Champagne a lot. They are both great over the lids colour but Tiny Dancer is a tad more shimmery with tiny shimmer bits in it and is on the peachy side.

Yes, I changed my top because my pink sweat shirt was too crumpled and it looks like I have just rolled out of bed. =.="

Constipated, double-chin look. Attractive much? 

Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in Carnation & Mauve are my favourite lipsticks at the moment as I am currently in the pink/mauve lipstick phase.

What is your current lipstick phase? :)

FOTD ft MAC In The Groove

So, the whole MAC In The Groove hype has been circulating around the beauty blogosphere for quite a while and I have been looking forward to them since then. Living in the land down under not only means we have to pay a much higher price for these babies, there's also a time lag when it comes to the launching date. 

Having such high anticipation on this collection also means that I have to check them out on the launch date itself, which was Monday, the 26th.

Being the sensible *cough* shopper I am, I managed to control myself not to go crazy at the MAC Counter and limit myself to 3 items. *Pats self at the back*

The 3 items that I got:

MAC Lipstick in Jazzed

MAC MSF in Stereo Rose

MAC Mineralized Blush in Hang Loose

I knew I had to get Hang Loose and Jazzed the moment I saw the swatches from temptalia. A little confession here, I did decide to get Stereo Rose because of all the hype, at the start. However, when the Make Up Artist in MAC applied it onto my cheeks, I knew it was a right decision made. =)

I am still debating whether I should get Mac Lipstick in I Like It Like That. It's a blue-based opaque pink but it reminds me of BubbleGum when I swatched it, just slightly more opaque than Bubblegum and a little creamier. It's such a pretty colour but blowing A$35 on a lipstick similar to the colour I already have doesn't exactly spell sensible. 

Did any of you get I Like It Like That? 

YAY or NAY?

:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:

So, I had an interview (which turned out to be a 5 minute "chat session" and I did not get the role :( ) on Monday and I wore the Neutral Smokey Eye look *click* without the falsies and the Barry M Dazzle Dust.

I made an otherwise simple look a lil more vibrant by applying Stereo Rose & Jazzed and have I not already mentioned, HOW MUCH I LOVE THEM?♥♥♥

- With flash- 

The coral peach lipstick matches my scarf that day and I absolutely love the glow I get from Stereo Rose. :)

- Without Flash-

Money well spent, nuff said :)

As much as I love them, I probably wouldn't wear it as often as it is more of a summer colour and the weather in Sydney lately has been anything but summer-ish. Think cold and wet. Will probably wait till the arrival of spring before I go crazy with them again, which is in about 5 weeks time! Can't wait!!! :D

What did you get from the In The Groove Collection? Any of the above?
