MAC Jeanius Collection

After work today I went to the nearest MAC counter to check out the MAC Jeanius Collection. When I reached there the Indigo Pink Lipglass was already sold out. I swatched all the lipsticks and the Pink Cult Blush. I ended up buying the Docile Lipglass. I liked Riveting Rose lipstick so maybe I will buy that later. I didn't like the nail lacquers because the glitter in them were quite obvious to me. And I don't like glittery polishes because it's a pain to remove them completely in one time. Candy Yum Yum lipstick and Mischievous nail lacquer from the Quite Cute Collection were sold out. So there went my chance of owning any of those... But I am happy that I got to buy Docile Lipglass, it was on my wish list!

Quick Review on Missha BB Cream

At first I wanted a tinted moisturizer but after testing the one by Estee Lauder, it wasn't enough coverage for me and it also was too dark for me. That is when I ordered my first bb cream on eBay, The 20 ml Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream in shade No. 21. I read about it all over the internet and decided to purchase the 20 ml one instead of the full size 50 ml because I wasn't sure if the shade was a match for me. I received it today. I like the smell but it's not as blendable as I would like. You have to work fast because it dries quickly. At first it doesn't match my skin tone but after a few minutes it magically does. I will keep testing it for a week or two and will then let you know if I really love it.

Edit: this has become my favorite go to product when I'm in a hurry, it looks flawless applying it with only my fingers. A little goes a long way, it evens my skin tone and when it sets it doesn't move. ♥ it!

Enjoy the weekend!

Update MAC Quite Cute Collection

I went today to the MAC counter to see the collection for myself. I ended up buying the Play Time lipstick, it has a cremesheen finish. I wanted to buy the Candy Yum Yum but I don't know how often I will be actually using it. I swatched it and loved it even more, so I decided when I go to the counter again for the Jeanius Collection if it is still there Candy Yum Yum will be mine! If it isn't there I will be sad...maybe next time? I also bought  Little Girl Type Nail Lacquer, my first MAC nail lacquer. The consistency is a little bit runny but I can still work with it and it does look very good after two coats. Although I did not like the brush itself it had some strands that were sticking out. So that was a little disappointing... I also like Mischievous Mint, again if it's still there when the MAC Jeanius Collection comes out I will get it also. I didn't find Ice Cream Cake as appealing. I noticed that I usually only like a few things from each collection, it hasn't happen yet that I like them all. Again I was happy with my purchase and tested them immediately when I got home.
I took some pictures of Little Girl Type so you can see the color and the brush:

And finally I took some pictures of the lipstick but it was at night so the color of the lipstick doesn't look the same as in person but it is a pretty close match to the color that it is on my lips so I decided to post one anyway and tomorrow I will take one in daylight.

MAC Quite Cute Collection

This Collection I didn't find interesting until I saw Candy Yum Yum Lipstick, I don't know if I will be able to pull it off but it looks so good in swatches and video. They start selling this collection tomorrow the 2nd of April here in the Netherlands. I want to either buy Candy Yum Yum or Playtime lipstick. I find Quite Cute looks good in the tube but I don't think it's that flattering on the lips. The eye shadows don't appeal to me and neither do the blushes or plushglasses. I guess they are too pastel for me. I really love the nail polishes but I never bought any MAC nail polishes yet, so I don't know what to expect. I will go to the counter tomorrow after work and will post pics if I buy anything.

Have a great weekend!
