Every holiday season nearing Christmas, everyone’s favourite make up brand MAC releases a massive collection. When I say massive, I really mean it. The MAC A Tartan Tale Collection for Holiday 2010 consists of everything from lipsticks, Dazzleglass Creme, eyeshadow palettes, pigments, Pearlglide Intense Eyeliner, blush, nail lacquer to bags and even brushes! I still remember clearly lusting over the collections before and I guess this year won’t be any different.

Here’s what MAC had to say about their MAC A Tartan Tale Collection 2010:

Do you hear the bonny bagpipes on the moors, or Johnny Rotten and the Sex Pistols? One in each ear? We’re telling a slightly twisted Tartan Tale to celebrate holiday 2010, in all its posh, punk, ancestral, anarchic, noble and naughty glory. Royal and raunchy, colours and patterns collide, fantasies come true, punk faeries take flight, with poetic new looks for Eyes to gaze long upon Glamora Castle: Dazzleglass Creme like Radiant Jewels; Lipstick kisses from The Faerie Glen; Black Swan Pearlglide Intense Eye Liner; Family Crest Pigment; My Highland Honey from the heather in Powder Blush; Sexy Style Clan Nail Lacquer; and forever Zoom Fast Black Lash mascara, for the Dark Prince, or Princess. Enter A Tartan Tale, and be transformed!

MAC’s Holiday Collections are usually to die for limited products. The various face and eye kits are particularly lovely as they all come stocked with MAC’s best sellers.

In fact these tartan prints kinda remind me of Harry Potter and I LOVE Harry Potter. I definitely want to get my hands on these gorgeous babies. Hogwarts anyone?

Remember I wrote about the M.A.C Disney Venomous Villains Collection a while back? It’s official. We have word that the Evil Queen from Snow White, Maleficient from Sleeping Beauty, Dr. Facilier from The Princess and the Frog and Cruella De Vil of 101 Dalmations are the 4 villains that will be featured in this MAC Disney Villains collection. It’s the second time that M.A.C cosmetics is teaming up with Disney to launch a cool new collection.

The colours of this new collection are deviously dark and delicious – deep plums, lush reds, devious purples and forest greens. They all dance in line with the upcoming Fall season.


I’m already quite enchanted by the lovely packaging and delightful colours. Do you think you’ll be getting anything from this collection?

First there was M.A.C and Barbie, then they teamed up with Hello Kitty. Now, according to a little bird, M.A.C is working with Disney for a second time to feature 4 Disney Villains in a new collection aptly named the MAC Disney Venomous Villains Collection!

After much investigation and browsing through various sources, lipstick, powder, lip gloss and blush will be in this collection. Have a look at the video and guess who the Disney Villains will be!

Did you see any familiar characters? I think I spotted Cruella DeVil from 101 Dalmatians and the Evil Queen from Snow White. Oohhh.. This is all too deliciously devious. I can already imagine the colors and the bright beautiful packaging. Cruella’s monochromatic hair and red lips are sure to inspire some shades of lippie if not some already funky hair dos. I wonder if the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland will make an appearance. I quite like the powerful red/black combination of her dress.

The collection is said to debut late September at MAC locations worldwide.

Who would YOU like to see featured in 4 Disney Venomous Villains collection?

Remember the M.A.C Viva Glam From Our Lips collection featuring Cyndi Lauper and Lady Gaga I previously wrote about? Well good news Gaga fans, THE COLLECTION IS FINALLY HERE IN SINGAPORE. Hallelujah!

I will be honest with you. I actually first saw the posters in stores when I was in Mall of Asia on the only day I got to go shopping in the Philippines. My main objective during that trip was to bring back as many beauty products that couldn’t be found in Singapore. So when I saw the From Our Lips collection out at one of the departmental stores, I skipped right in prepared to fork out some good money for the lippies just in case they weren’t out in Singapore yet. But when I went in there, as you might have already expected, Viva Glam Gaga was sold out.


See the lonesome Viva Glam Cyndi lipstick sitting alone

I picked up the lonesome Cyndi lipstick and thought about giving it a good home. Red lippies aren’t exactly my thing, but I have been thinking of getting one just to play around with colours.

The colour wasn’t too intense as I thought it would have been. In fact, it had slight orange undertone that would sit pretty well on Asian skin. I toyed with the idea of getting it, but eventually, I decided I really wanted a pink lipstick more than a red one. Okay okay, I really just wanted the lipstick to be the Lady Gaga one. Who isn’t a Lady Gaga fan? She’s an icon of so many fashion and beauty trends of late. Anyone would kill to own a piece of her, which probably explains why the Gaga lipstick was sold out.

So imagine my joy when I walked into the newly opened M.A.C store in Raffles City to find the Viva Glam Gaga sitting pretty in the display. With shining eyes, I grabbed it and quickly asked the salesgirl if it was available. To my dismay, it was sold out too here in Singapore.

The closest I could get to the coveted Viva Glam Gaga one was the tester. Comparing the two colours side by side, I actually do prefer Viva Glam Cyndi to Viva Glam Gaga. The latter is a light blue pink while the former is a light reddish coral. With coral/orange undertones, Viva Glam Cyndi is better suited for warmer Asian skin tones while the cool blue undertones of the Gaga-licious pink lipstick would certainly pop on fairer skin.

If you’re dying to get your hands on the Gaga-licious lipstick, the good news is, the new batch for Viva Glam Gaga is coming in 7th May, today! The girl at the Raffles City MAC store told me when I asked and I thought I’d share it with you because Thank God It’s Friday. It’s time to Just Dance!

Which lippie catches your fancy? Remember every cent raised through the purchase of VIVA GLAM lipsticks goes to the M·A·C AIDS Fund to support the fight against HIV/AIDS. So maybe we should just get both! :P

Beneath all that dark eye makeup you might see me with usually, lies a very lazy girl. I’m really quite a fuss-free person even though I’m mad about makeup and have a deep love for dark dramatic eyes. But we all have our off days, and from time to time (actually most of the time if I can get away with it. HAHA), I opt for a no makeup face.

How To/Tutorial: No Makeup Face

I recently decided to do a no makeup face (and have it photographed) while having Sunday brunch. Sundays are meant to be days where you chillax and enjoy good company without worrying too much about how you look. Yet at the same time, in the presence of company, you do want to look presentable without being overly madeup.

So here’s how-to achieve a no makeup face:

1) You want to appear like you have no makeup at all yet still maintain a flawless complexion. Concealer is thus, your best friend in this no makeup face. Apply concealer and blend thoroughly to the dark circles under the eyes with your ring finger. Also remember to conceal any blemishes or other spots.
2) Next, dust powder foundation all over your face with a big fluffy brush for a natural finish.
3) Choose a natural peachy blush for that rosy flush and sweep it over the apples of your cheeks. I used the NARS Orgasm blush because it’s has lovely golden sparkles that brighten up your complexion instantly.
4) Light pink lips are the way to go in a no makeup face. I like the e.l.f Luscious Liquid Lipstick in Baby Lips for a hint of colour and gloss. Also because the lipstick is in the form of a pen, it’s so easy to carry around!

Do you have an alternative method to achieving your no makeup face? Share it with me or even better, show me!

Happy Easter guys! In the spirit of all things colourful and yummy, this is a face of the day inspired by all the delish Easter eggs! I also have to thank Violet Le Beaux for sending me the adorable crochet heart shaped ring. Her rings (she gave me 3 but I only photographed 1) were so cute that I decided to do a look that would match them: a pink kawaii look that hopefully she’d be proud of. Haha. I was going for a sweet dolly eyed effect and thus used a whole bunch of pink coloured products for this look.

She made the rings specially for me and sent them all the way from Down Under, Australia! Who would have thought that you could meet such awesome people thru blogging. <3 If you're interested, she's selling the cute rings on her blog.

Anyway here’s the breakdown for this Candy Coloured Easter face of the day:
