A super quick and super bad FOTD *lol*

MAC A Tartan Tale Holiday Collection... and a Tartan Look ;-)

Beauties Play it Cool Palette, Courting Lilac Lipstick, Sir Teddy (isn't he cute? :-))

On Tuesday, MAC released Chapter I of it's 2010 Holiday Collection "A Tartan Tale" and as the name says, everything is designed in a scottish tartan pattern. I got Beauties Play it Cool 6 Eyes Palette, Courting Lilac l/s and since I have a passion for teddy bears, the cute Sir Teddy :-) It's kind of a Charity Teddy, by buying this teddy the money goes to MAC AIDS fund...

Beauties Play it Cool (with flash), top row from left to right: Silverwear (F), Hold My Gaze (F), To the Ball (S), bottom row from left to right: Altered State (VP), Magic Moor (VP), Heather Belles (S)

I did not swatch them since there are tons of swatches in the www...

Silverwear reminds me on the light lavender tone in the "In the Gallery" Quad from the Makeup Art Collection 2009, just with a little bit more silver sheen in it. Hold My Gaze is close to the greyish-olive tone in the "Photo Realism" Quad. To the Ball is comparable to Scene e/s from the permanent line. Altered State is something between Nocturnelle and Satellite Dreams e/s. Magic Moor is close to Contrast e/s. And Heather Belles? Dunno, lol... maybe like Plumage? I don't own any eyeshadow which is comparable to this one.

Courting Lilac is a mid-toned, sheer lavender shade. It's my first Glaze Lipstick. The colour is very, very close to "Aristo-Cat" from the Fabulous Felines LE, though it has a Frost finish. I would have liked to compare them, but I can't find Aristo-Cat right now, lol. Maybe later. You can see lip swatches in the following pictures of my Tartan Tale look.

And here is the look I did with my goodies!

MAC Pro Longwear Lipcreme

Seit ein paar Wochen gibt es im MAC Sortiment die Pro Longwear Lipcremes. Sie sollen wie der Name schon sagt besonders lang halten, angeblich bis zu 12 Stunden.
Ich habe mir zwei Farben gekauft, Unlimited und Overtime.

Since a few weeks, MAC has a new product in it's permanent line: Pro Longwear Lipcreme. The should have a very long staying power, up to 12 hours. I picked up 2 colours, Unlimited and Overtime.


Unlimited ist ein mittlerer Rosenholzton. Es ist ähnlich (aber nicht gleich) wie Brave oder Cosmo.
Unlimited is a muted, mid-toned rose. It's close (but not similar) to Brave and Cosmo Lipstick.

Brave, Unlimited, Cosmo

Overtime ist ein helles Babyrosa und sieht eigentlich fast genauso aus wie Creme Cup.

Overtime is a light baby pink and is very similar to Creme Cup Lipstick.

Creme Cup, Overtime

Die Konsistenz ist sehr cremig. Von der Haltbarkeit sind sie ungefähr so wie die matten Lippenstifte, nicht wirklich länger. Leider halten bei mir Lippenstifte nie sehr lang. Wenn ich nicht esse oder trinke, hält der bei mir vielleicht 3-4 Stunden und verblasst dann langsam. Wenn ich aber esse und trinke, dann ist er in 1-2 Stunden weg, wenn nicht sofort. Bei mir überlebt selten ein Lippenstift länger als 1 Stunde. Leider auch dieser nicht. Es ist also nicht unbedingt die neueste Innovation, man kann getrost bei den normalen Lippenstiften bleiben.

The consistency is very creamy. The staying power is comparable to MAC matte lipsticks, not really longer. Lipsticks in general do not stay very long on my lips. If i do not eat or drink, it stays about 3-4 hours. But if I do, the lipstick is gone in 1-2 hours or earlier. I don't have many lipsticks staying more than 1 hour. And this Lipcreme doesn't either. So it's not a new innovation at all... you can stay with your regular lipsticks as well.

So long,

Sisa ♥♥♥

CUT!

Hey guys!!!

I know I've been not here for SO LONG! SORRY! I was so busy with work and real life that I couldn't find any time to do some blogspot... and, honestly, sometimes I was just too lazy.

So... there is a big change happened about 3 weeks ago... I got my 60cm long hait SHORTCUT!
I didn't feel comfortable any longer with this long hair... it looked alwas boring and didn't have any volume... it was also damaged by countless colouring experiments. And then I saw one of my customers who had long hair before and then got her hair cut in this style... and I was just like "WOW!" So I decided to do that step and I didn't regret it yet for one second.


Please excuse my shiny and untidy look, it was a long day and my makeup was done 9 hrs before, lol

I also got light blonde highlights all over my head ... if anyone with my complexion wants to wear blonde hair, a light silver blonde should be chosen. Any gold blondes look horrible to my skintone.

The hair in my neck isn't too short, so it strechtes my silhouette and doesn't appear too short and masculine.

Do you like my new hairstyle?

P.S.: The look I'm wearing is from a Tutorial by XinaRox ...
plus Comfort MSF as a blush and Cherish Lipstick by MAC

SORRY

Hey guys,

I know it's been AGES since I did my last blogspot. A BIG SORRY! I was so busy during the summer season with work and the heat exhausted me and I never mentioned doing a FOTD or something... was just tired and sweaty.

I will come up soon with some new looks and swatches from the current MAC LEs.

So long,

Sisa ♥♥♥

Hey guys!

What a heat in the past few days! Woah! But today it rained and got colder...

Matte Brown Smokey Eyes

Today I created some matte brown smokey eyes... I know you may be sick of me doing smokey eyes but I'll love them forever, lol... it's always special.

The lipstick (Creme D'Nude) looks ridiculously light in these pictures, in person it doesn't, but I would NOT recommend it to anyone with a darker complexion than I have (NC35)... it would look totally pale and dead.

MAC To the Beach Swatches

Hey yall!

I took a look at the new MAC To the Beach Collection. It didn't seem too interesting to me at all. I already had 2 items in my collection: Refined Golden bronzer and Humid eyeshadow (they're from the permanent line). So I decided just to go for Hipness blush.

Refined Golden Bronzer, Humid Eyeshadow, Hipness Blush

Hipness Blush is a bright coral shade with a hint of pink. It is a frost finish and a nice blush for summer tanned skin.

In love with Cremesheen Lipsticks!

Hey guys!

I am totally in love with Cremesheen Lipsticks. It's my absolutely favourite finish next to Amplified. Currently I own 5 of them, I hope there will come out more nice colours.
I got 2 new Cremesheen lippies on friday.

The Cremesheen Gang *lol* (from left to right) Lavender Whip, Creme Cup, Shy Girl, Ever Hip (LE), Ravishing

Ravishing is one of the new lipsticks I got on friday. It's a totally gorgeous orangey-coral colour which looks fabulous on beauties with tanned skin. I like to pair it with Melba or Hipness blush.

Ever Hip (Give me the Liberty of London LE) is also a coral coloured lipstick, but more on the pink side. It's a little bit more toned down than Ravishing. Like to wear it with Hipness or Fleur Power blush.

Shy Girl is one of my favourite lipsticks ever! It's a light, nude peach and I think everyone with a little tan can wear it. Looks very good with Melba, Hipness or Peachykeen blush.

Creme Cup is the second of my new lipsticks and my favourite nude pink lipstick ever! Wow, I think everyone between NC15-NC45 shade will look gorgeous with it. It's not too "barbie" and not too neutral as well. My favourite blushes to pair with this one are Well Dressed and Dame.

Lavender Whip is one of the most-wanted shades MAC ever promoted (I think so, lol). This light lavender shade is very "different" and not everyone can wear it. Some hate it on me, some love it... well, I love it, hehe. Looks good with Dame, Dirty Plum and On a Mission (LE) blush.

A little light Rose and Coral FOTD

Nothing special... just wanted to let you know I'm alive and my camera is repaired, lol
I know I look super pale.. I forgot to do Bronzer and the flash killed me
