Mini MAC Haul + FOTD : Quick Random Look

Hello everyone, how was your weekend? I've had quite a surprisingly good one, although I had to work as usual. Must be due to the fact that I was a good girl and went to bed earlier (than I usually would), so that I was kinda well-rested. It's so true, that sufficient sleep is one of the most important factors for good health. Now, if I could only overcome being a night person. :/

Let's see what's my Mini MAC Haul all about! ;) This is what I got: MAC Mineralize SPF 15 Foundation in NC 15 and MAC #130 Short Duo Fibre Brush.


I used to hate cream foundations, since all I have tried so far always felt heavy, made my pores look huge for some weird reason, and despite the rich moisturizing textures, they accentuated any dry flakes.


I've used MAC Mineralize SPF 15 Foundation twice until now, and it seems to be the first cream foundation ever that works for me! It is really lightweight, with a somewhat fresh watery feel when you apply it. It covers my pores really nicely, and doesn't accentuate any flakes at all! I'll do a more detailed review in a separate post later on!

Now, onto the random look I did last week! I opened my drawer and it so happened, the palette that I picked right off the bat was Jill Stuart Illuminance Eyes 09 Dazzling Moon. Oh my, I neglected it for too long!

So, what do you think about my complexion here? I used the MAC Mineralize SPF 15 Foundation. I feel there is a slight whitish/pinkish cast on my face in the photos, which might be due to the SPF that this foundation contains.


My eyes were really puffy that day, hence I didn't want to experiment around. I applied the lightest shade of the palette onto the whole eyelid. Added the darkest shade on the outer corners to add definition, tightlined the upper lashline, applied mascara, and I was done with the eye makeup!


Excuse my frizzy hair! Uhm... I think it's time to get my bangs trimmed.


I believe the reason that my eye makeup always end up on the natural side is the fact that I don't entirely line my waterline. I do love the look of completely lined eyes a lot (Fuz rocks the entirely lined eyes look in my opinion), but I feel that it's just not very flattering for my eye shape.

So, I'm used to line only about 1/2 of the lower lashline (stronger on the outer parts), which I feel creates bigger looking eyes.


I'm wearing Revlon Colorburst Lipstick ~ Carnation here, which was a gift from Catherine. Isn't the rosy pink color beautiful? The texture is really smooth and moisturizing too! I highly recommend this color to everyone with fair Asian skintone - it's so flattering!


Thank you again, Catherine! I ♥ it!
