HAUL: Mac Art Supplies Collection

I was busy with makeup for a media event at the opening of CHAUMET at Orchard ION, so during my lunch break I wandered off to SEPHORA and to my surprise, the MAC Art Supplies Collection was out !

So I swatched around for a bit:

I told myself I wasnt going to get excited for sure but the pearl glide lienrs are OH SO PRETTY!!! and the lipstain markers were pretty darn COOL!!


Why did I get a new empty palette?? Find out in my next entry! ;)

I love the lipstain markers! It feels like ur playing with HIGHLIGHTERS on your LIPS! Super cool!

I bought two shades.. Stylesetter & Sunset. I might go back and buy more shades, I think they’re super cool and convnnient to carry around! Plus they last pretty long on your lips as stains!


I bought three PearlGlide Intense eyeliner

such LOVELY colours! and they STAY ON!! You try swatching it, and wait a minute and try to wipe it..it doesnt come off easily. (unless you use makeup remover). Im using the Black line on my eyes today and I love how its a lovely black with lil shmmery flecks!

PRICE:
LIPSTAIN MARKER $32.00
PEARLGLIDE INTENSE EYELINER $27.00

REVIEW: DIOR Waterproof Crayon Eyeliner

This eyeliner has easily become one of my FAVOURITE eyeliners! (My two other highly recommended eyelienrsare MUFE Aqua Eyes and STAGE Eyeliner)

MY THOUGHTS: I love its RICH and intense blackness. What’s great about this is I didnt require a SINGLE touch up on my LASHLINE! I kid you not! My waterline ofcourse needed some touch up cuz thats always damp but the top lashlne stayed put the whole day. OH TRUE LOVE! The pencil is dual sided,. One side with the pencil, the other with a smudger bt dont let that application fool you, this pencil doesnt smudge. Fr instance, I aplied the liner on my toplashline again today morning at 8am, now its 1230pm and I use my finger to rub the liner… NOT a single black mark on my finger. And you know how most waterproof lienrs are super drying on your lids? Well this isnt..its creamy. So you dont have to pull this and drag it on your skin. It glides on easily.

WILL I BUY IT AGAIN: Most defnitely! I am going to stock up n these non smudgy eyeliners! Comes with a sharpener.

PALETTES 101

As most of you know, Im a HUGE fan of PALETTES . If anything is sold in Palette form, Im sold! (pun not intended)
I have a total of 24 palettes at the moment, I think (including the 99/88 palette)

so anyways, I carry out about 4-5 eyeshadow palettes when I head out for client appontments. Most eyeshadows you purchase, can easily be depotted. (Check out youtube for videos on how to)
If you purchase a MAC empty palette (NgeeAnnCity MAC Pro store), you can fit in 15 eyeshadows. But I ripped off the TOP casing so that Im left with the magnetic base sheet and can insert MORE eyeshadows.

See, below that casing, is a magnetic sheet that helps your eyeshadows stick on! So without the top casing, you can customize your own palette! 

 

Well I headed to Daiso and got $2 magnet strips and packing foam to keep my palettes in a better condition.

Most of the shadows that are depotted (inouvi, MAC, UrbanDecay etc) DONT have a magnet to its base, this I bought the magnet strips that have an adhesive to one side, so you can stick them onto the base of your shadow pans and then your pans sit nicely on the magnetic palettes.
AND ONLY $2 FROM DAISO!!! People go to Popular BookStore and buy but its only $2 at DAISO! And Daiso has many sizes too!

Ok so first off, set aside your depotted eyeshadows. (Click HERE to find out how to DEPOT eyeshadows)

Paste the magnet strip on the Pan base

If you ared using a regular palette with wells then just place the shadow pans in the wells but in my case, I ripped off the palette’s top casing and this enabkles you to not only customize your shadow pans of any size, but also if you use the standard mac sized pans, you can fit in MORE then 15 in the palette.

See…18 so far, and I still have space for 10 more!

Combination of MAC, SMH, INouvi and UrbanDecay eyeshadows

NEXT, to ensure safety, you wanna add a thin layer of any kind of support. I bought these from DAISO ($2) as well..

Looks like this… im sure you have seen these before

Cut them according to your palette size. I used TWO sheets for my palette, for added support/protection!

So you can easily create your own customized palette! Place them according to colour, or even according to SIZE! Without the top casing of the palette, I can easily pladce BIGGER eyeshadows in my palette:

and YES that means you can do the SAME for blushers too :)

Hope this has helped some of you :)
