MAC - Liberty of London Collection (Spring 2010)

Honestly speaking, I love, love, love this new collection from MAC! Liberty of London!

Most from this collection here in Hong Kong is already sold out. :((

I love the lipsticks and the beauty powder from this collection from MAC. It was earlier released in the USA, that's why I can check it out over their website like around hmmm... 2 months in advance? LOL!

Anyway, the first item that I got was the Shell Pearl - Beauty Powder. I tracked it down here in Hong Kong and I got the very last piece available! Yes, mine was the last! It was already out of stock / sold out all over Hong Kong. Too bad. I use this as a finishing to add a little highlight all over my face. I love this. I just used this yesterday and it gives my face a sheer glow that I'm aiming for. It can also be used as blush or a pressed powder. Still tracking down the other beauty powder from this collection....

They also have some powder blushes, eyeshadows and lip gloss for this collection but I'm not a big fan of it. As for the powder blush, it doesn't suit my skin color, that's why. And like you guys know, I'm not a big fan of eyeshadows and lip gloss.

I'm also in love with their lipsticks and I'm still tracking down the last lipstick that I need which is the Blooming Lovely. I am looking forward to receiving Ever Hip, Petals & Peacocks and Peachstock. YAY!

Anyway, I'm going to write another review in regards to that, but for now, I AM SERIOUSLY LOVING THE BEAUTY POWDER! :)

The Body Shop Pressed Powder in #06

I got this as a hand-me-down from my little sister (my little sister has more make-up collection than I do. LOL!). I'm not really a big fan of The Body Shop so I know nothing about it, but of course, since it's a hand-me-down, I gave it a try.

I don't really like this pressed powder. I know that it's expensive, I think it's overpriced as well. I'm not really "wow"-ed with The Body Shop's make-ups and skin cares.

I use this as a touch up whenever my face feels oily and I'm on a day out. First, the color is too dark for me. (I have a lighter skin color than my sister). My skin color is NC35 / NC30 (in between, I guess.) and The Body Shop's pressed face-powder is #06. It's too dark, plus, it gets oily very fast too. Not to mention it's very cakey. I remember once, I re-touched my powder on the way home. While I was walking towards our place, I checked the mirror and BOOM! The powder is sooo cakey! I immediately took everything off with a clean tissue!

I will NEVER EVER use up my own money to buy any products from The Body Shop...
