MAC Casino eyeshadow GET! (swatches and eotd)

Hellooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ＼(　〇　⌒　　　▽　　　⌒　〇　)/わぁい♪ 
Long time no see! ( T_T)人(T_T ) ヒサシブリダ OMG, I am sorry to leave this blog without updates for such long time, but hpefully I can get back on track now. I`ve been going through some very hard times and changes, but I`ve done a lot of growing and am doing fine now... I can`t wait for Xmas, mostly because of the xmassy atmoshepre and illuminations - I want to decorate my apartment with all sorts of xmas lights and candles~

Today I`d love to share my latest GET! MAC`s Casino eyeshadow!!! v(≧∇≦)v イェェ～イ♪  I am really excited about it, because Momoko Ogihara is a heavy user of that eyeshadow and as you know, I am easily influenced by japanese gyaru-related celebrities` choices. And to be honest, following Matsumoto Ena`s, Yamamoto Yuuki`s and Ogihara Momoko`s makeup advice worked very well for me.

The eyeshadow is a copperish dark gold kind of color and it is a bit of a GLITTER BOMB! XD But I like glittery eyeshadows, so that`s not a problem. I would recommend to be careful about fallout though, covering your cheeks makes application less messy.

Swatch on skin. The finish of this one is LUSTRE, so it`s rather sheer, but it can build up to a really nice coverage, especially on an eyeshadow base, so don`t worry. You can wear it sheer or more opaque.

And here it is on my face, I used a little bit of Woodwinked eyeshadow around the outer corners of my eyes, but it`s mostly Casino. I love it! v(≧∇≦)v イェェ～イ♪ I had to buy it online though, as it is a some kind of limited edition eyeshadow - sth like Asia only? But I`m not sure. Either way it`s not available at MAC stores in Poland.

I hope to update more regularly from now on and I hope I still have some readers left!! LOL! 

Hugs & have a good day~ ヾ(￣◇￣)ノ)) バイバイ

EOTD: Golden & Purple party makeup with fake lashes!

Hello my dears!
I've been up to well... nothing lately to be honest and my internet connection is really bad, so I couldn't post too. ;D But recently I had some fun with makeup, as I wanted to come up with makeup with Diamond Lash - Princess bottom lashes, which I found very hard o use at first, but I think now I got a hang of it and will post a review soon.

HOW TO: All the eye shadows I used are listed in the photo and accidentally I used only MAC eye shadows. How I did it, I put All that glitters all over my eyelid top and bottom, all the way to the brows on top, they lined my eyes with MUFE eye pencil, thick heavy lines. Then I just worked the eye shadows, from darkest to lightest, using Carbon first, to go over the eyeliner and spread it out and soften it, then I added Tempting and blended it, then on top of that moving upward to my brows I used all the other shadows from darker to lightest. I used Phloof! and highlight, under brows and inner eye corner. Bottom lid was just eyeliner and Carbon eye shadow, but then I decided to add more spunk to it and applied MAC My dark magic eye shadow (both colors) on top of the black, to add purple sparkle. Finally I added fake lashes, Diamond Lash Gorgeous on top and Princess on bottom. I found out that the best way to glue on princess bottom lashes is to cut them up into 3 pieces, and glue them all separately. It makes positioning them sooooo much easier! I also wore Princess Mimi Apple Green circle lens, to really make my eyes look big and dramatic! :D

I hope you like the look and try to copy it!

v(*’-^*)-☆ Hugs! (=゜ω゜)人(゜ω゜=)

MAC Champale paint pots & other shopping :)

１月の３回目の投稿、ぎりぎり間に合う！笑


Phew! Had a busy week! Also had my younger sister sleeping over at my place on friday and saturday, that was fun! On friday after my work, we went to MAC so I could get the Champale collection paint pots I wanted! :D I didn't get a second lip gelee, because I already spent enough money on paintpots and one eyeshadow that day, but they still ahve them in stock, so I can get one later. :D Anyway, I wanted to post about those paintposts, photos, swatches and some initial thoughts!

 What I got: MAC Champale collection Paint Pots in colors: Vintage Selection, Let me pop and Dangerous Cuvee. But I always think the name is Let me Poop, ha! So stupid!!!! I didn't get Chilled on Ice, cecause it looked too golden and I didn't really like the color so much. I try to persuade myself that is money saving. XD As if I didn't just spend so much on 3 other paint pots, hhhhaaa------

let me poop  pop / retarded

And the paint pots in the jars. :) 

There is a lot of products in each jar! 

One costs around 70pln in Poland! D:

Vintage Selection in a pale beige color, universal and lovely!

Let me Pop is a copperish, orange-ish golden color, really lovely and warm and would add to warm shades of makeup! :)

Dangerous Cuvee is a metallic gray, would be perfect with cold toned eyeshadows!

In jars they don't look that sparkly. Now onto the swatches!

Swatches in natural light (no sun). They are shiny, but not overly sparkly, I am used to waaaay more sparkle & shine, so to me it is really moderate! More than glitter or shimmer, they just reflect the light andadd more depth, I dunno. I didn't really know what to expect, as I never had any paint poits from MAC before, so I'm on unknown territory here. Hmm, I bet they will look way more shimmery in sunlight though!

Swatches with flash - more shine! v(*___*)v Loves it.

On their own they do not stand out that much, pigmentation is moderate, but it does create a lovely, delicate effect! They can be worn alone or as eyeshadow base, and I wore them for 3 days already and as eye shadow base they work PERFECT. Nothing creases and the colors you apply to your eyelid stay vibrant and true all day long. It also adds some depth, with the delicate shimmer coming through from under your eyeshadows. :) They are hard, but they "melt" under my finger and the application to eyelid is very smooth, and in a second they dry up and stay on your eyelid all day. That's great. :)

Ingredients if someone's interested.

Also one FOTD, I wear neutral makeup like this for daily look. If I feel like it I just add more black eyeliner, lashes or glitter, but generally, I'm not a morning person, so that's as much as I'm willing to do before leaving for work. :P I used the Vintage Selection paint pot and my new MAC Tempting eyeshadow! :DD

before lipgloss so lips are yucky, sorry (T_T)

And I also bought 2 more things. L'Occitane's famous hand cream (around 27pln for 30ml) and a room/wardrobe scent from Body Shop, in Green Tea & Lemon, also around 27pln. (Don't remember). Smells really nice, not artificial and fake~ I also want to use it more in some places, to make my cat not walk there - cats hate citrus fruit smell. 8D *evil genius* lol

And that is all for now!

I also got MAC eye shadow in Tempting, but I will make a separate post about it, because I have completed a lovely neutrals/browns quad palette from MAC, so I'll show You all that. That is all, take care!!

M.A.C Venomous Villains collection! Mineralize Eye Shadow Duos rock!

Hello!
I went to Sephora recently and omg! I want the Dior mascara base, it looks amazing~ Also the black/sparkly silver smoky eye palette looks amazing! (Even though it's nothing new or surprising, it just looks soooo pretty.... ahahah, I should not go to Sephora (=_=''))

But, dum dum dummm!!! MAC Venomous Villains went on sale in Poland!!! (3 weeks ago! LOL) I was just too busy to visit MAC. D:

 

I managed to get 2 MAC's Mineralized Eye Shadow Duos from Venomous Villains collection though! <333 I love them! :D I actually had no time to go to MAC even, so I asked my friend to get me those. But when she went, they only had My dark Magic left! Oh no! In an attack of madness, I quickly purchased the She who dares, blue/green one from eBay! eBay if more expensive than regular MAC price of course, but while the regular price for this in USA is 21$, here in Poland it's more like 30$! So paying around 32$ including shipping from USA through eBay did not seem that crazy to me. (Ecept that I should buy things I really need, not another cosmetic lololol)

direct sunlight

in (kind of) shadow

I got a very dark one with this one, too bad... but I still like it!

Overall, they are well pigmented, look amazing applied wet (so intensive) and are great for a smoky eye, or I use them as bottom eyeliner :D I will be uplaoding eye looks with those soon!

I also repurchased Vitacreme B12 and I love it so much, life saver.It really makes skin look and feel much better in 1-2 days! I really recommend it!

Recent MAC shopping and magazines! :)

First of all, my new magazines sent by my sempai from Japan arrived! :DDD Yay! Happie Nuts with beautiful new autumn makeup section, BLENDA, JELLY and EMODA catalog with lots of freebies! :D I am at work, so I will read them later!

And recently I went to MAC and bougt 2 eyeshadows and the new eyeliner from Fabulous Felines collection - the eyelienrs are soo cool, the colors are great! Metallic grays and dark plum and navy were my favourite, but there is also sparkly gold and silver, or khaki, etc. the names are cool too! I got regular black, a little bit metallic, but the name of the color is "ON THE HUNT". :D

I also got 2 eyeshadows I liked on the stand, the one on the left is retrospeck, the one on the right is woodwinked. They didn't have retrospeck in a pro-pan version, so I had to buy it in regular packaging and depot it myself. I was depotting mac eyeshadows (or any eyeshadows for that matter) for the first time ever, but I more less remembered the tweezers and lighter method and I did it and it was super easy and fast :)

Retrospeck is sparkly gold. Woodwinked is a tiny bit coppery natural light brown, it has a pear sheen to it, I love it! (click photos to see larger size)

Swatches on fingers! :D Pretty?

And below are all my mac eyeshadows!

Not many, but 2 months ago I had no MAC eyeshadows at all. The blue on it freshwater, the highlighter color is Phloof!

The eyeliner is super easy to draw and stays on all day long! It is a black, but seems a bit metallic, not typical matte, flat black. I wonder how long it will last, for it was a bit pricey, but oh well!

I did some swatches in the store and after coming home they were still good as new! I looove the navy one! 

Ahh, got to work a lot this week, regular work and extra work and other appointments, ghghghghhh.... wish me luck and health! Also, today is mom's birthday! Yay! Happy birthday Mom!

FOTD & recent shopping at M.A.C. :D Mineralize blush and eyeshadow, Dainty Love Connection :)

OMG, it is soooo hot in Poland! :O Last saturday it was over 41C degrees..... OMG! Hotter than in Eypt, which is a popular destination of last minute trips...!! Last two days were cloudy and it rained a little bit and was much cooler, but from today we will be having another heat wave and this weekend will probably be the hottest this year! OMG!! In winter it was minus 30 and tons of snow, and now onver 40 and it feels like inside of an oven! xDD What is going on and how am I supposed to deal with those crazy temperatures! :o

I went to the lake region for the hottest weekend though, so it was fun and we were chilling in water ;))

And I did some shopping! I visited MAC, but the In The Groove collection didn't steal my heart and I am now fully living on my own and renting an apartament, so I try not to spend a lot (hahaha, well that's going great for me ;)). But I saw those two things from MAC's Mineralized line and needed them! (Some time ago I also bought a brush and Freshwater blue eyeshadow from MAC as well.)

MAC Mineralize Eyeshadow "Love Connection" and Mineralize Blush "Dainty"!

This blush is a little bit sparkly and has a good color payoff and is the cutest shade of pink!It is kind of dolly-pink, but also natural at the same time! :D And you know me, I can not resist a little bit of shimmer in my makeup! 8DD Will be getting more of those, uhhh, do I need more blush...? Doesn't matter, will get it anyway! xDDD

Love Connection is a double eyeshadow with one golden-brown shadow, sparkly and gorgeous looking, can be sheer or super pigmented - applied wet and/or over a dark cream eyeshadow. The other shadow is a cute mixed shadow with light sky blue color, with light pink-gold and golden-brown veining. Absolutely gorgeous! So basically this double eyeshadow gives you 3 shades, the left on, the right one, and both of them mixed create a new color as well. But depending on which part of the blue part you take, you get different colors. So much fun! I definitely recommend mineralize duo eyeshadows if you like sparkly eyeshadows, but natural looking. I will definitely get another one of those :D New favourite!

This is the eyeshadow, applied dry on it's own in sunlight! Ah, so sparkly~I love it!

FOTD. I used Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream mixed with some MAC darker foundation (my mom's I think NW30?) to match to my tan :/ MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural powder in Medium - lightly all over face and Medium Deep as bronzer on cheeks with duo-fiber brush from Sigma. MAC Dainty Mineralize Blush on cheeks and Helena Rubinstein mascara with MAC's Mineralize Eyeshadow in Love Connection - the darker shade only. Phloof! as highlighter under eyebrows and MUFE HD concealer under eyes. Lady Gaga lipstick on lips! I also use a beige shadow from the 88 shadows palette as my eyebrow color everyday. Tadaaa~

I must say even though it is sooooo hot and sweaty outside, this makeup stays on all day and looks natural and I am enjoying it A LOT. I work with a place with effective air conditioning, aand now I only commute 15 minutes by tram to work, but it's like an oven, the tram... xD What's your favourite makeup for super hot days?

Ichibankao.com mini haul

The announced mini shopping haul from Ichibankao.com arrived and I went home to pick it up last weekend!

I got Visee Blackish Forming Eyes in color B-4 (ichibankao's price, includes shipping already, ¥1900), Candydoll Cheek Color Peach Pink (¥1900) and Rohto Lycee eyedrops for Contact Lens (¥1100). So together all that was ¥4,900, including shipping.

The Visee Blackish Forming Eyes palette is really nice! The colors work perfectly together and I will be definitely using it for a party look, with lots of eyeliner and lashes, or for day looks, just a little bit or top-right violet ot bottom-right plum-beige-y kind of violet instead of eyeliner, for example! The black is generic matte black, good for applying over your pencil eyeliner, to help it stay in place. The lightest shade has a lot of opacity and some sparkles and works really cute as a all over base or highlighter color. It could be just used as the main shadow as well!

Now, I myself was wondering too, as probably some of you have, what is the difference between Blackish Forming Eyes palettes and Brilliance Forming Eyes palettes from Visee. Well, the main difference is, in Blackish, the bottom left shadow is a matte, opaque black. In Brilliance palette, the bottom left is a cream eyeshadow - in shades of golden & beige and it is meant to use as a base to make your eye makeup look more sparkly! (Review and swatches of A-2 here.) Also, from the names of the series, Blackish is for creating a dark, dramatic look, and Brilliance for a light, day-time, sparkling eye! :D

(The 3 shades go toghether so perfectly! <33 They are not as much as spakly, but have a little bit of pearl iridescence to them. As always click and zoom in the photo, they are big!)

I kind of want all of the Brilliance palletes now... 8D

Now, I already have tons of blushes, but I talked myself into getting this one, because I didn't have a shade like that yet... right??? xD Well, buying this Candydoll Peach Pink blush was a great choice!!

It is sooooo light and at first I was applying it was going like "wth, where is it?!", but then I went to the bathroom to wash my hands and on my cheeks it looked like the perfect baby pink cheek that Matsuwaka tsubasa always wears! :D It looks like you were outside all day long and your cheeks are a little bit pink from the sun! OMG!! I love this blush! <3333333 Absolutely a must buy, and if you like Popteen or Popsister you will love it! My only complain is it seems a little bit small for the price. It is a powder blush, not cream blush, and I like super pink cheeks so I apply quite a lot I think, and I wonder how long it will last.... It will look amazing on darker skin colors <3 and it would create a porcelain doll look on pale girls! (I am currently around MAC's NC20-25 on my face)

So overall, LOVE IT, get it, share the love 8D

And last but not least, the eye drops, Rohto Lycee eyedrops for Contact Lens....

Weeeeellll..... xD I didn't know they were those menthol eye torturing eye drops you guys!!!! D: I hate those kind of drops! Damn! xD But! Since I bought them, I will try as much as I can to use them! xDD I must admit they are not that bad actually. On the "freshness" scale on the packaging it said they are around 3 out of 5, so they don't burn your eyes out imidiately. ;D And the fresh feeling is kind of nice. I will be definitely trying to use those drops after whole day of worl in front on my computer. Do you know those menthol eye drops? Love them or hate them? Ughh... I was hoping those will be just sth like candy scented cute eyedrops, not those suitable for a penalty game! xD lol

In other news. I moved, I am enjoying it a lot, going out a lot too, I was watchign all the semi-finals and the WORLD CUP finals yesterday, all in bars, which is a lot of fun, but I need to pick bars where there is air conditioning and preferably no smoking rule.... My eyeeeesss.. (T_T')

                      

Anywhoo, congratulations to Spain, even though the final wasn't pretty and had so many fauls and the judge was crazy!!! D: Spanish goal keeper, Casillas, did an amazing job though! I still think it should be Germany though, I fell love with Die Mannschaft <3333333  And especially Özil, heeey~ xD (I find him super cute though, seriously 8D) But I love the whole team and not for their looks, but for how they play! And there are also so many Polish players, I love them! Podolski, Kloze, Trochowski are all of Polish descent! And they kick ass <3 And Muller is cute too, Schweinsteiger, omg! Amazing! I can't believe how young the players in Die Mannschaft are, but they played soooo well. Much love, World Cup was great and exciting! :D

(ah my babiess!! 8D) Football is a really great sport! Also all the crazy football tumblrs bring me sooo much LOL!!! xD Torres on Torres or David take me to your Villa... xD Lol forever!
