Shopping My Stash: Part 3

Happy HEARTS day everyone. Hope you guys(my UK/Asia readers) had a wonderful night with your loved ones and if you live in Canada or in the US, then I wish you guys will wonderful night later on :)

I have a perfect song stuck in my head right now...

I need you boo, I gotta see you boo
And the hearts all over the world tonight
Said the hearts all over tha world tonight

(tralalalalala....)

Yes, With You by Chris Brown- perfect song for the day.

okay enough with the mushy stuffs.

Can I just rant about something quickly?

If you follow me on Twitter you know that I've been waiting for a pracel to arrive in the mail three days ago or was that four days ago, but anyways the postman left a note outside my house that no one was home when he rang the doorbell.

To: Mr Postman(eventhough I don't know who the heck you are),

I was at home waiting for you to ring the doorbell. I stayed home for you and my doorbell is working because I tried to ring it when I saw your note(because I thought that the doorbell wasn't working because i didn't hear anything). Now I have to go to 7 eleven and get my parcel there. You didn't even leave any specific time on when I can pick my package up. How will I know if my package is there or not?

PS: I did go to 7 eleven and the lady said that there was no package there for me!? How is that possible? what should I do now? grr. hate situations like this. I will go to 7 eleven again later.

RANT OVER and DONE.

Anyways back to what this post is all about

I've shown you guys Shopping my Stash Part 1 and Part 2, so now it's time to show Part 3

I found more "neglected" products in my magical drawer. > MAC Creamcolor base in "Shell" - soft pink beige with slight micro glitters
> MAC Paint Pot in "Rubenesque" - golden peach with gold pearl
> NYX Eyeshadow in "Ultimatum" - white champagne with shimmer

I even remember raving about Rubenesque paint pot and Shell cream color base awhile back. I know I will still love Rubenesque because I can wear it alone with a champagne/neutral eyeshadows(Naked Lunch or All That Glitters) and I'm good to go. Shell cream color base will be a good highlighter on the cheekbones and browbone. My only problem with Shell is that it doesn't look natural like what MAC Soft and Gentle MSF gives because it does contain glitters. If you are interested with MAC cream color bases, I suggest you try them out first and what I mean by try is that you need to apply it on your face and see if it the shade matches you. I made a mistake by just swatching Shell on my hand and quickly paid for it. I want to try Luna and Hush cream color bases now.

Ultimatum is practicallya straighy forward shade. I say straight forward because I know I will use this as a inner highlight or an all over lid color.
here are some hand swatch from left to right: MAC Shell creamcolor base, NYX Ultimatum eyeshadow, and MAC Rubenesque paint pot.

If you don't have Rubenesque paint pot in your makeup stash, then I suggest you go buy it because it's the type of shade that you can always slap on if you're lazy and in a hurry. Amongst all MAC Paint pots, I would suggest you get these 4- Bare Study, Construtivist, Painterly, and Rubenesque.

Conclusion: I think that's the end of my "Shopping my Stash" journey and I'm really glad I shared that with you.

Giveaway as soon as I get my parcel. I would just want to say this in advance that my giveaway is sponsored. You will know by who within this week. :)

Have a happy week and enjoy the day/night away

xo, Kim

Paint Your Lids with Paint Pots

My second post for a Sunday.

If you ask me what's a must have for a beginner's kit- it is def. a paint pot. When we are talking MAC- its either Soft Ochre, Bare Study, Painterly, or Rubenesque. I don't own Soft Ochre, just because it's too yellow for my skin tone. I know there's a lot of eyeshadow bases out there in the market, but hey invest on something that's worth it right? I will show you guys what I have and review each one of them. Pain Pots can either be a cream shadow, or an eyeshadow base. Yes twice the fun for these babies guys! That's why I love my paint pots. If I'm lazy I'll slap on painterly, or Barestudy, or Rubenesque on my lids, winged liner, mascara, blush, bronzer, lip balm, and dunzo!

oh I forgot, I adore the packaging.

So here are the paint pots

From L-R- Bare Study, Painterly, Fresco Rose, Rubenesque

The lighting is super crappy sorry guys. From L-R- Bare Study, Painterly, Fresco Rose, Rubenesque

Bare Study- This one, I also use a lot. Its painterly with shimmer basically. The shimmer on this one is subtle. If you put this on your lid the shimmer is controllable and it is very easy to apply. I love Bare Study. I bought this along with Rubenesque. SO it has a special place in my heart.

Painterly- This is by far my most used paint pot. Its neutral, its skin color. I use this to even out my lid color. It also enhances eyeshadow colors. For this, you could slap on any eyeshadow, any color you want because the paint pot doesn't have any color. I use this almost everyday.

Fresco Rose- This one, I don't really use. I use this one if I'm going to apply pink eyeshadow like Swish, Da Bling, or Paradisco. I don't usually wear pink eyeshadow, so yeah. I mean its a pretty color and a nice addition to my collection. The pink color on it is not that bright, or out there, that you could wear it alone.

Rubenesque- Its a goldish-champagne color. This was my first paint pot. I got this because the MUA recommended this for me because I have a fair skin tone, so it will show up really nice. This is not a neutral color, but its really nice with All That Glitter, Or naked Lunch, Gleam, Ricepaper- all neutral eyeshadows. This one enhances the color of the eyeshadow a lot.

Swatches- Top: Rubenesque,

Do guys have any make-up product/s that has a special place in your heart? or is it just me. lol

have a good Sunday
