Being a beauty enthusiast, my biggest pleasure was entering beauty department and stare and swatch red lipsticks and not buying any.The reason was I used to fear what others may think or say about me. Luckily, my mom and my boyfriend encouraged me to do what makes me feel good.

It took a few tries to feel comfortable in the eyes of the public but I'm sure that the lipstick itself gave me a sense of confidence that I never thought I had. 

Avon Ultra Color Rich Lipstick in Poppy Love, 4g. (Discontinue) RM20.90

Satin matte finish | Pigmented | Affordable

The color is bright coral-red and I would recommend it to anyone who are up for a daring look as it may draw attention from a person or two. However, this may smear if you are not too careful. Long lasting even after consuming meals.

Dior Addict Fluid Stick in 754 Pandore, 5.5ml RM103

Glossy texture | Subtle | Pricey

It's more of a rosy-red. I wouldn't consider it a lipstick, more of a more glossy, pigmented lip gloss. Very mild compare to the rest. I find the texture is quite heavy. You will need 2-3 coats to achieve the actual color from the tube. Disappears quite gracefully ; leaving a slight tint. This is probably the prettiest package and that's that. 

NYX in Snow White, 4g RM15

Pigmented | Smells intoxicating | Easily smeared

I love this shade! You probably need the minimalist amount of makeup whilst applying this as it draws attention instantly! I would use this a whole lot often if it weren't for the scent. Overall, I think the price does justification for its quality. The packaging needs to be improved. 

YSL Rouge Pur Couture in 13 Le Orange, 3.8g RM140+

Matte finish | Smells fruity | Difficult to purchase 

It's an orange-red shade that was also used by Kourtney Kardashian in one of their series. I heard it was constantly sold out but fortunately, I have gotten mines from the airport. It's pigmented, smells amazing, glides on like heaven and lasts pretty much the whole day even after consuming meals. The range offers various finishes as my other Rouge Pur Couture is in Satin finish. 

M.A.C in Russian Red, 3g RM71

Matte finish | Nice scent | Not for dry lips

A bloody red! It was initially this or Ruby Woo but the latter was so difficult to swatch even on my hand so I decided to stay safe and gotten this instead. Do exfoliate your lips before applying this. I do noticed that my teeth becomes whiter after applying this lipstick due to its blue-tones.

Under normal light

Top to bottom : Russian Red, 13 Le Orange, Snow White, 754 Pandore, Poppy Love

Hey everyone! You didn't think you would see the last of me, ey?

I have so busy with work and how I was banned from shopping for a month which all I ever write on my blog is reviews, hauls, etc. I should really get on some personal life like maybe going to a new cafe or something but soon.

Did I mention May is my favorite month of all time because it's my birth month!!!!

Technically I was born at the end of the month and if you're curious, I share the same birth date as St. Pio. Anyways, what is a birthday without a wish list, right? 

Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick Compact in Nectar (RM165)
 I have never own a Bobbi Brown nor will I need their best seller concealers but this is the most prettiest blusher-highlighter I have ever seen! Price wise, I would say it is affordable as you can use it on your eyes, cheeks, highlighter. I heard it comes in a very generous amount that could last for years so yes, I am pretty convinced this is an investment. I love watching Gossmakeupartist as he always try to explain in the simplest form without dragging you for a whole 13 mins to get the idea of the product.

 Pandora Silver Collier bracelet + charms (RM500+)
I have been wanting this for a couple of months and I think I might get it for my birthday so I am pretty excited. You know me when I want something, I got to have it. I think in America all you have to do is purchase two charms to be entitled for a free bracelet. That doesn't work in Malaysia so yeah we practically have to buy it separately. How unfortunate.

Nars Tinted Moisturizer in Terre Neuve (RM160)
Even though I live in Malaysia but during summer (April-July) the weather gets way hotter than it is and I really want something that does a better coverage than BB creams. High chances I might not purchase them as I prefer my regular foundation.Hence I would prefer receiving this as a gift.

Stila One Step Correcter Primer (RM117)
A couple months back, I have tried this colorful primer that tackles dullness, redness and minimize pores at the same time which swooned me at first but I still had a couple of deluxe size POREfessional and That Gal so I would probably purchase it when mine runs out. It is very thick paste and I am pretty sure you need a tiny amount for your entire face and it can probably last for ages.

Dior Addict Fluid Stick in Pandore 754 (RM160)
I hardly purchase a lip stain or lipsticks as I often received lipsticks namely from Avon and I never manage to finish any of it till now. This, however, made me wanna jump from my seat and actually run to the mall to purchase it. But what hit me most was the price. It is too pricey but knowing it is from Dior, it is elegance with a price. There are complaints how sticky it was and I guess I have to go to Dior and get it tested. Like come on! I could have purchased a foundation with the money, right?

Apple MacBook Air 13' (RM3299)
I need a new laptop for college but somehow I wished there's such thing as sales from Mac City but it didn't happen. I am still contemplating whether to get it or not as it is quite pricey and it doesn't come with DVD drive (sold separately) but it is indeed light and something I could (hopefully) use for years. But I am still unsure whether I will make the right choice as most of my friends prefer the Pro for which I have no idea why. Hopefully I would not regret purchasing it.

Nars Single Eyeshadow in Malacca (RM80)
Let's get this straight, I was born in Malacca and I had to get this eyeshadow as it's named after my hometown, right? Y E S. It is quite an attractive color but I don't know whether I would use this color for my day to day basis as it's teal and it is very gorgeous! I would most likely to purchase this on my own as I feel obligated to. It's pretty rare to hear Nars name your hometown thingy, right? Yeah, I thought so.

Dip Dye (Hair)
I have been wanting to dip dye my hair for awhile but my dye kits is with my aunt so I practically have to wait till she comes back before I could even dye. In meantime, I might want to go for a haircut but not too sure whether I would do it before I dye or after. Indecisive Mich is indecisive. I bought the Bleach London Dip Dye DIY kit just so you know which hair dye I am going to try so and so forth.


So that's all for my wishlist and I hope May will be a good month for all of us.

Till then,

All my life, I have never used nor purchase MAC cosmetics before and although my aunts, my friends and YouTube gurus rave about it - I still don't get the hype at all.

What I observed when I see MAC's counter :

1. It's all black packaging. 

2. It's always Harajuku girls theme 

3. It's expensive 

4. I am a newbie to makeup, why bother?

To the extend, I have only started buying MAC cosmetics this year, like February. So I am still a newbie to most brands and I guess you can say I stepped out of my comfort zone and started experimenting with various brands so and so forth. It's really exciting because you are discovering the wonders of something that you never knew it existed. I guess that's what I am going through now. 

Which is bad because I am going broke each month. 

Okay so MACCosmetics Malaysia finally has their own e-online site which you can purchase their products and have them shipped to you and it's free shipping till the end of April 2014. 

It's quite an amazing thing because I don't live in Kuala Lumpur nor my town has any MAC Counter (bummer!) and right now, I don't really have trouble purchasing one. Thank you M.A.C!

Like I said I am new and the very first thing I purchased from them was the Studio Finish SPF35 concealer and boy, it is so good that it actually brightens up my eyes and doesn't crease at all. I bought it from Singapore and I had a very lovely Sales Assistant/Makeup Artist that helped me with my shade NC35 (I got superb tanned at that time) but I am pretty sure I am somewhere NC30 now? I use it so often that I was told it will take about a year to finish it up. I kinda dumped my Benefit Boi-ing (creases easily) and switched to this ever since. 

Let me tell you about their service, it is superb efficient and I think I ordered like Tuesday night and it was shipped to me on Thursday morning. That's how quick it is. 

It comes with a sleek black box and it looks so clean. 

The first item that I got was the Mineralize Skinfinish in Lightscapade.

It is described as a luxurious velvet-soft powder with high-frost metallic finish. Smoothed in; adds buffed-up highlights to cheeks or an overall ultra-deluxe polish to the face.

Weight: 10g 

Price: RM120.00 

I was told that it was from Haley Williams x M.A.C Collection in 2013 and it was selling like hot cakes and it was practically sold out everywhere (?) but fortunately for me, I managed to purchase it without all the hassle. 

But when I was looking for description on the website today, it was sold out. 

Basically, you are paying for a highlighter that can last for ages. I'm sure it'll be my favorite product as it is so multifunctional. 

It is a very gorgeous swirl of pink, blue, white but you will get a whitish frost highlighter. 

So far, I only apply them on my cheeks and although it was advised you can use it as an overall to the face, don't. Full stop NO! I did and it looks like I applied glitter all over my face. Maybe it was my technique wrong but I will try again next time. 

Swatched, 

It does well for a highlighter but lasting power no. It could only last 3-4 hours so you can always reapply like I always do. 

Price wise, it is quite expensive but a little goes a long way and I'm not joking about it. 

No smell whatsoever so yay! I really dislike weird, funky scent that lingers on your face. Eek.

Pros : It can be a multifunctional product e.g. As an eyeshadow, overall face, brow bone, no foul smell.

Cons : Expensive, works for fair skin, works for3-4 hours max, limited edition.

Overall, you could consider this as a highlighter if you have never own one before or else - I would highly suggest Benefit's High Beam. It has so much content that you will take ages and ages to finish it. Still, I enjoy this product a lot for its' multifunctional. 

The second item that I got a hold of ever since I started reading ItsJessicaChoy and she purchased this wonderful cream eyeshadow and I was sold when I read her post! 

Eye Prolong Wear Paint Pot in Camel Coat.

A highly pigmented eye colour that goes on creamy but dries to an intense, vibrant finish. Long-wearing, colourfast. Creates seamless coverage without weight or caking. Blends smoothly over the lids. Cream-based, can be mixed with M·A·C shadows and liners.

Size: 5g

Price: RM75

Normally I would not purchase eyeshadow as I was banned from eyeshadow shopping ever since my aunt got me Naked 3. 

But I guess you can say reading Jessica's post made me wanna give a try in cream matte eyeshadow (never own one) so I did swatches in Singapore. But I wasn't keen on getting it as its' price was stiff (30+ sgd) and I thank my lucky stars for not purchasing it as it's way cheaper than Malaysia! Yay to me!

This comes in glass packaging so it looks so cool and all. As soon as I got home, I swatched it again on my arm and feel like, "eek it's too dark for me!" But rest assured it looks very natural on my lids so I guess I don't have to exchange it. 

The swatch color may look like dark grey-brown but it looks good for an au natural look when you really want a minimum makeup. 

I have never used a cream base eyeshadow and this is really legit that I might want to purchase various colors soon. It's an amazing investment and I don't have to use a primer at all! A-m-a-z-i-n-g! 

Pros: It's matte, affordable, long lasting, non-crease, has various shades and colors to choose from.

Cons: I still can't find a single flaw of it. 

Overall, I think this product is amazing when you want to achieve a simple eye-do and still look effortless. This will probably my everyday to college eyeshadow as I am so lazy with the whole eye primer + eyeshadow routine on certain days. 

That's all for my M.A.C haul !

Let me know if you have tried and like/dislike it! I love reading comments <3

Till then, have a wonderful week ahead!
