MAC Fresh Cut Palette

Heyho!
Today I got the Fresh Cut Palette from the new MAC Graphic Garden LE!
I decided to get this palette since I didn't really have many pink tones and no rose tones from MAC in my eyeshadow palette. It's really gorgeous, but I was a lil bit surprised, how small this palette is... humm....

Click on the pictures to view fullsize

The Palette contains: Floral Inc. (Frost), Bloomcycle (Veluxe Pearl), Sun-Shy (Lustre), Part Peony (Lustre), Poppy Noir (Velvet) and Fresh Cut (Veluxe Pearl)

Fresh Cut is very similar to Cranberry Eyeshadow, Cranberry has just a hint more of red in it.

Floral Inc. looks like if All that Glitters and Seedy Pearl had a baby ;-) a very sheer mixture of both.

Tomorrow I'll do a look with this new Palette. Hope you'll like it!

I played around a lil bit with the layout... hope you like it!

I got some new things this week: NYX Jumbo Pencil Black Bean and NYX Turquoise Pigment. The last one was an accident, I ordered Coastal Scents Gel Liner Turquoise from a German Online Shop but she wrongly sent me the NYX pigment... so I complained and gave me the pigment as a present, but unfortunately the Turquoise Gel Liner was sold out, so I told her to send me Envious (green) instead. Maybe it will arrive tomorrow.

Tomorrow I'll do a look with it. Be curious ;-)

By the way, I found this pic lol (what a dirty mirror!). It was from a year ago, I asked the hairdresser to make my hair light brown... and I got BLONDE! OMG ... But I wore this blonde hair for nearly 3 months at least, lol. But it always felt like a betrayal, haha... I felt like a stranger.

Light Neutrals FOTD

Hey guys!

I know I didn't post anything for a while, but I've been busy and experimented with my hair... I'll tell you when I'm successfull, LOL

I did another neutral look today... at least it looked quite similar to the neutral look I did with wearing Lavender Whip lipstick, although I used different colours :-(

To be honest...

Tagged by the gorgeous XinaRox from http://xinarox.blogspot.com/

I'll share 10 honest things about me... with you! lol

1. I love cats. I have three cats and if I'd had more room, I would definately have more cats! Cats are so sweet and cuddly. Especially my himalayan cat loves me like I was her Godness, LOL... it lays before me like a devotee an purrs all the time *rrrrrr* they are really good friends who comfort me when I'm sad or something...

2. My natural hair colour is light brown. Yes, it is! Everyone is surprised when I'm telling that, because everybody considers me having dark brown or black hair because of my skintone and eye colour. Since I have multicultural roots, the light hair is the heritage of my European ancestry, while the complexion and eye colour come from my Indian/Arabian/South European roots.

3. I'm colouring my hair and doing Make Up, since I am 12 years old. The first things I did were red highlights and mascara , a few years later I began using eyeliner and khol liner.
My skills increased extremely in the past 8 months, since I began watching tutorials on youtube.

4. At first, I hated MAC! I really hated it. I won some items in a raffle 2 years before. It was Purple Haze Eyeshadow, Technakohl Liner in any purple colour and Dark Angel Nail Polish.
Well, Purple Haze hates me. It don't wanna come up onto my lid, lol. The Liner didn't show up either, it was not really pigmented... and I needed at least 3 coats of Dark Angel! I was so disappointed! I thought: What a mad quality for that money...
In january I got a 10% off coupon for an onlie drugstore... and since they've all been worshipping MAC so badly in the beauty community I usually write (http://www.beautyjunkies.de/) I decided to give MAC another chance. Good idea (well, not for my wallet...)! I bought Contrast, Seedy Pealr and Juxt and this time I was very satisfied and my MAC love began to increase...

5. I really want to convert to Judaism. Oh, yeah! The only problem is, that there isn't any synagogue close to where I'm living, which offers Gijur (converting). I hope you don't hate me now, lol. Judaism and Israel are the love of my live.

6. I call my lovely man my "husband", but in truth we are not married (yet...). It feels like he is my husband since we've been together for such a long time (nearly 5 yrs) and I think at age 33 he's too old to call him a boyfried, LOL.

7. On August 10 I'll finally begin to study cosmetology =)

8. I am the kitchen chief wherever I get the possibility to cook. I love cooking, and, yes, eating *sigh* which causes a little overweight. But I love good food too much as I would dispense for a better body shape. I can offer you dishes from allover the world, from traditional German to Italian, Indian, Asian, South American and African Food. Say what you want to eat and I'll cook it ;-) and I am always interested in new recipes. I REALLY thought over having an cooking and eating blog!

9. I am a nightingale. I am most effective between 8 p.m. and 2 a.m. ... consequential I like to sleep till high noon.

10. I already travelled to 3 continents (Europe, Africa, Asia) and visited 12 countries (Germany, Great Britain, France, Finland, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Tunesia, Egypt, Turkey, Israel and Kenya).
The most relaxing holiday we had in Finland... we were in a little "Mökki" (cottage) on a lake in the forest. And no one around us!
The most interesting holiday was in Kenya... we did a Safari! :-)
And as I told you, my beloved country is Israel... melting pot of different cultures...

Okay, that's it!

I tag everyone of my readers!

Smooth Merge

I finally got Smooth Merge MSF from the MAC Colour Craft LE. Whew!

Originally I wanted to get Porcelain Pink but it was already sold out =( So I decided to get this one.
And this is so cute!
It sculpts my cheeks without using any contour things... and it makes them look like from a porcelain doll, hehe. Really love it.

I'm back + Collective Haul

Hey guys!

I'm back since yesterday. Wahoo! We had surprisingly good weather, high temperatures and a lotta sunshine. I actually tanned a little bit, I never expected I would, lol. We had lots of fun but after a few days I got circulation problems... it was the right time to leave ;-(

As I came home, wonderful mail waited for me - some MAC items I ordered, hehe.
I also wanted to get Porcelain Pink from the new Color Craft LE, but it was already sold out when I came home :-(( But there was a Smooth Merge MSF left and I ordered it. I think it will arrive on tuesday.




Cranberry: I wanted to get it for a longer time and when I wanted to buy it as a refill, there were no refills of Cranberry left and the MA told me that it is DISCONTINUED! Booo! So I got it in the pan and depotted it. Such a beautiful pinkish red Desi colour. Shame on MAC that they discontinue such pretty colours.

Nocturnelle: A lovely, lovely purple. The most beautiful purple I can imagine, hehe. I passed this for so long because I have a L'Oréal Eyeshadow which comes very close to it, but this L'Oréal one is a Holographic and has a different colour payoff. So I finally got Nocturnelle in my collection ♥

Ricepaper: I considered this way darker but although it is very nice golden-beige. It can be used as a lid colour and as a muted highlight as well.

All that Glitters: I think this is a very unique shade. It's a beigy golden with a bit of pink in it. Very cute!

Scene: Since I had no grey eyeshadow in my collection so far, I had to get Scene. It is a Satin but comes out very matte.

Carbon: I also have a L'Oréal Dupe which comes very close to it, but it is a lil glittery and turned out to be a mess since I tried to press it in a pan, lol. MAC Carbon has no glitter in it, which is good to darken the outer corner or crease in any Eye Makeup.

At least I got MAC Brow Set in Show Off. It looks verry reddish brown in the tube, but in person definately not. I wanted to get a darker Brow Mascara and so I got this. I'll try it out for a while before I do review on it.

So far! Greetz =)) Sisa
