“Three enlightened ways to brighten your look: Strobe Cream, our original blend of sheer soft-focus diffusers; Strobe Liquid, instant radiance in fluid, light-diffusion form; and for lips, Tinted Lip Conditioner Stick SPF 15 with strobe pearl.” (description from MAC site)
This is the one of the few MAC collections that has me itching to hit my MAC counter immediately! Several years ago I bought a Tinted Lip Conditioner Stick SPF 15 that I absolutely loved. Of course, the product was discontinued and I was left using the Tinted Lip Conditioner SPF 15 in pots that MAC offers. So I’m definitely going to go and pick up one of these Sticks! And the colours look pretty good so I’ll be at the MAC counter tomorrow!

So last summer, I had plans to have lunch with a friend of my mum’s at a fancy restaurant. It was a rare occassion for me since I usually don’t spend more than a sandwich’s worth of money on lunch, or actually get up early enough to have lunch out (-hey, it was the summer holidays!) The thought of a fancy lunch put me in a weird, cheerful mood, which prompted me to only carry a large clutch. I was probably imagining myself to be a Hollywood girl about to be photographed by the paparazzis. Like I said, my brain was clearly not awake yet. So I painfully transferred most things from my normal, larger hangbag into a smaller, oversized clutch. My clutch is basically a larger version of this Marni clutch. It’s very simple and made of patent leather.
Martina Lucetti , M.A.C PRO Artist is interviewed by the Indiwo backstage team. She talks about her favorite M.A.C Products which are Pink Poodle lipglass, she describes it as “a very very bright pink.” She also adds, “But it’s beautiful, it’s pretty, it’s not too much in your face, but still compliments your face.” Her favorite lipstick of all time is Ruby Woo , she describes it as a “bright red, completely matte, it feels like powder. She adds, “In fact when I am putting it on, you really have to push it, really work it in to the lips, but then again it stands out beautifully.” She thinks the biggest mistake women make on their face is when they are shining around their nose and under the eyes, for that you should always carry Blot Powder with you. Another big mistake is putting on too much foundation and concealer, she stresses on the idea that “less is more, leave transparency on your skin, conceal only where it is needed!”
