Be warned that this is a girly ladies’ post!

Sometimes buying stuff online is quite risky cause you can’t always believe what you see online.

Especially those Taiwanese fashion pictures selling clothes and bags. Those pictures are tweaked in photoshop already! The lighting makes the item appear nicer but actually in real life they are only 40% of what you see.

This, however, is my point of view. I can’t say anything about those who looove how their Taiwanese items turn out to be.

Anyway, i saw this online and i had a pretty strong feeling that it will look good in real life even if the picture is edited in any way.

A cosmetic pouch!

Cause it’s just too cute to resist!

I ordered it during early July and the item just arrived today! It’s a pre-order, so i’m guessing it’s imported.

So what how does it look like in real life?

It looks a bit crumpled up cause it got flattened on the way here via postage. Would be like in the picture if it has some stuffings inside.

See! Cute, right!

To top it off, i bought some cosmetics from M.A.C today! Just expending my cosmetics collection :)

I’m gonna give you an inside look on my cosmetics collection so far!

Note that i have extras of a particular cosmetic simply because i buy them in a different shade and/or i got them for free when i worked for M.A.C.

Mineralize Satinfinish foundation and Select Moisturecover concealer

Mineralize Skinfinish Natural and Sculpt and Shape powder

Beauty powder blushes

Eyeshadow

Fluidline liner, Powerpoint eye pencil, eyebrow pencil and Plush Lash mascara

Lipsticks and lipglasses

Tendertone lip balm in Honey Bare (colour slightly different in real life)

Throw them all in me new cosmetic pouch!

/>Skincare products and brushes are not included here. So there you go!

For the ladies, if you are planning to get something from M.A.C then i suggest these cause the products i own are recommended by the make up artist.

I can’t really tell you which foundation is good because it’s based on your own preference. As for concealer, Select Moisturecover is good because it’s smoother compared to the other concealers. And as the name says, it was extra moisture!

Mineralize Skinfinish Natural powder is good for finishing your look. Make up artists put loads of powder under the eye area to prevent smudging of the mascara. Select Sheer/Pressed is more suited for oily skin.

I picked Plush Lash out of my own preference. The other mascaras are also good but the popular ones are Fibre Rich Lash and Pro LongLash, i think. They sound very promising.

For liner, Powerpoint pencil is water-proof (tested and proven by me) so it’s suitable for lining the water line (lower lash line). They have lots of other kinds of liners too but it’s all up to what you’re kind looking for.

As for the other products (cheeks, lips and yadda yadda) it’s all up to you! :)

If you’re not sure about which product is suitable for you, you should ask the make up artist for assistance. But you gotta ask the right M.A.C staff for help cause only a few are genuinely friendly (psst, i know which one’s friendly and which one’s not! :P) so, yeap!

Oh yeah, the Heatherette collection is released already but the beauty powder i wanted is no available here in Malaysia. Wtf?

This post is super bimbotic, bleh.
