Your QUICK GUIDE to MAC Lipstick Finishes and Formulas
Let’s do a quick guide to MAC lipstick finishes shall we? A woman can never have enough lipsticks. Don’t you agree? Well I can’t! A brand new lipstick is one of the easiest reward we can give ourselves in times of joy, defeat, accomplishments, agony. Okay, we always find an excuse to get that brand new spanking limited edition shade that looks like the one we already have in our kit. Hahaha! One of the most popular brands of lipstick available in the market today is from MAC. It has cult-classics like Ruby Woo, to smaller celebrity collaborations like Mac for Maine.

REVIEW: Maine for MAC Lipstick | Yung Totoo!
I’m late to join the Maine for MAC party. I know. Partly because I was hesitant to purchase a 1,100 tube of lipstick that has 50% chance of working on my complexion. They don’t have samples to try (of course, no one would dare sample it was out of stock in Lazada in just 1 minute) and I’m too frugal to risk it. I was looking around for swatches on-line and the lipstick looks different on every person. It’s not the 1 shade will suit all kind. Let’s be honest. It’s a hit/miss. Good thing my #BloggerBabes friend Christine of All About Beauty brought her tube when we went out on a girl…

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in LIGHT (Review, Photos, Swatch)
It’s my first time to try a MAC Powder Foundation. I avoided using the brand at all costs due to horrific reviews on how it made them break-out. This one however, I gave a shot because compared to their regular powder foundation, MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in LIGHT claims to be dermatologist-tested to be safe for most skin, and has 77 minerals for additional skincare benefits. I just emptied another pan of my NARS Fiji and thought to myself, okay why not give this a try? Product Description A luxurious, slow-baked domed face powder with low-level pearlized pigments that provide a dimensional yet natural-satin finish. Can be used to set foundation and to…

I can’t believe my favorite red lipstick has been featured by buzzfeed style! Can you take a guess what it is?!

If you guessed Mac Ruby Woo congratulations! You’re right! Look how amazing it looks on any skin tone. Dark, Fair, Medium. This is a…

Review: Nichido Brow Gel a Mac Brow Set Dupe
What? Nichido Brow Gel (A cheaper alternative for the MAC Brow Set) How much? 248php Where to buy? SM Beauty, Watson’s, or any Department Store I purchased this tube out of impulse (again, LOL) because I was in dire need of a brow savior that can groom my brows in a jiffy. In a recent brow accident, they overthreaded, overplucked, and overkilled my brows. (See photos here). WHEN SWATCHED Ash blonde is literally what it say it is. It’s ash blond. Though when applied on the brows it leans towards brown than blonde. Definitely in the middle. This is the most flattering among all 3 shades for most skin tones. The other ones…

Mac Pink Nouveau Dupe is Wet n Wild Muave Outta Here
Read a lot of bloggers saying that Wet n Wild’s muave outta here is a good dupe for the ever so popular pink nouveau of MAC. Is it a dupe? (OLD POST NO PHOTOS AVAILABLE IM SO SORRY) Sorry for the zit overload, no time to spot conceal 🙁 and yes, this is how bad my skin WAS. I’m slowly recovering using a regimen, and that’s another topic. MAC is more cool toned, feathery, and drying. Wet n Wild is slightly darker and warmer than Pink Noveau, but it’s definitely close. Muave about it is more flattering on me and is wearable on a daily basis. But for gals on a…
