March Make Up Haul: MAC, Forever 21, Maybelline, Ever Bilena, Avon Simply Pretty

Hi guys! I'll share a quick update of what's new to my beauty-related collection and life. I've been having a hard time adjusting to my work, imagine talking everyday to irate people? That's the price you have to pay being in an industry that handles billing concerns. It sure is tiring right? At first, I belong to those people who thinks that being in a BPO industry is a no-brainer job. I'm just curious how it feels to work with them so I tried, turns out my experience proved me wrong. Now, I have a healthy respect for agents.

Anyways, my mom went home from Australia and treated me these babies as promised. Seeing them makes me happy (aside from my significant other of course) and relieves my stress. I'll share to you what I got and what my mom gave me. Warning: picture heavy post!


MAC Pink Nouveau & MAC Lickable




 MAC Lickable & MAC Pink Nouveau





MAC Lickable is under the Cremesheen formula which provides creamy and moisturizing texture. Lickable is the wearable version of MAC Girl About Town which is not yet available locally, unless you'll pre-order to some online shops. It's a hot pink shade that is sexy and smart at the same time and can be worn by anyone. Just don't leave it in your car or room with high temperature because Cremesheen formula were known to melt easily!

MAC Pink Nouveau is under the Satin formula which provides creamy texture and high pigmentation, provides easy application as well. It's barbie pink color that will surely attract attention and deserves to be praised however, this is not the color that flatters every skin tone. Wearing this lipstick is a little bit tricky though MAC PH claims that this shade is their best seller, no doubt about that!


Maybelline Baby Lips Pink Glow in Baby Pink & Ever Bilena Cheek Blush in Raisin


 

 

I'm actually just looking for a stick lip balm because m little sister Nina is so good at not returning stick balms once she put it in her purse. I originally have the Baby Lips in Orange flavor but I saw this cute pink baby! I already have a separate lip balm (Celeteque) but I find it gross to reapply using your finger if you're outside your house plus it's such a hassle right? So i always opt for stick ones. Maybelline Baby Lips Pink Glow line is supposed to give you a subtle pink color that matches your lip's PH level however, I don't see any changes when I apply it to my lips, maybe I should have bought the bright one, Pink Blast?

Ever Bilena Cheek Blush in Raisin is what I believe their most popular shade among bloggers haha. I got curious so I tried and yeah, it gives you a natural flush just make sure to use a light hand and blend it well. I got compliments when I wore this one :)


Avon Simply Pretty Long Lash Mascara in Black and Clear Mascara



Bought this from my co-worker just to try a different Mascara. My first choice is actually their best seller, Avon Super Shock but unfortunately, it's out of stock :( I'm desperate to throw my old mascara away and have a replacement so I got this one. It has a wet formula that drives me crazy because when I rush in applying this mascara, I tend to have spider's legs lashes. It requires you to be patient and use a light hand and it will give you a pretty natural finish. I use the clear one to set my eyebrows after I put on brow pencil.
