This is the one where I went for a real good meal.
Event: Ca' Del Bosco Wine Dinner
Venue: GARIBALDI Italian Bar and Restaurant
The food was really good! definitely pricey but it was good. The food was paired with 5 wines. Yes. I was woozy at the end of the meal. No wait.. Make that woozy after pre-dinner drinks and gradually working to a real good buzz through the meal. but it was fun. So we asked Jan to tell us where there is a real good deal. We'll see. :)
This is the one where I went mad shopping at M.A.C.
I bought 5 items from M.A.C. yesterday. I'm a sucker for make-up. But I would like to think of them as worthwhile investments. I mean this is one thing that I really like and I'm rather good at it. So yes, next to shoes, cosmetics is my other obsessions. So here goes... let me show you the items...
These are the five items.. from the left to the right: CURIOSITEASE 5 warm pigments and glitter, CURIOSITEASE 5 cool pigments and glitter, ROYAL ASSETS 6 metalic eyes, VIVA GLAMOUROUS 3 cool lips (red casing) and ROYAL ASSETS 3 red lips (silver casing)
These are the pigments. The warm colours on top and the cool colours at the bottom. Very nice effect BUT not really the easiest to control. The lighter colours are still fine but have to watch the darker colours. Need to put tissue underneath the eye to catch the excess. But other than that, my tip would be to have a good base. For me, because creases are a problem, I have to use the primer AND the paint pots as base. A very good colour to have would be M.A.C. Paint Pot in Bare Study. You can wear it on its own or use it as a base for the other colours.
This is the eyeshadow palette. I bought it for the gold and silver highlights (that would be the two colours right at the top) and the beautiful casing. I love it when M.A.C. comes out with their different thematic casings. They are usually very pretty. The colours sometimes do repeat themselves. But a plus would be you have the essentials. So as long as you practice, nothing can go wrong.
The lip glosses. The one on the left is the VIVA GLAMOUROUS combi. Very pleasant set of 3 colours, very everyday-use. Plus the money actually goes to the AIDS funds that M.A.C. has, so you are doing a good deed too. The other palette, ROYAL ASSETS red lips, has the real intense red colours... the bright red and the deep red with the gold gloss. This will give the very Marilyn Monron red lips (using the red in the middle) If you wanna go matt, then don't use the gloss. The other red is a very deep berry red which kinda go with my hair colour at the moment. Very nice. Coupled with dark eye make-up (read: black or dark blues) gives a very goth look. Which I had last night at the wine dinner. Perfect with my lacey outfit. :)
