HELLO KITTY

FOTD: MAC HELLO KITTY

Hello guys! I hope you all had a great weekend!

As promised, I am here sharing the look I came up with using my newly acquired MAC Hello Kitty make up.



On the next 2 photos, my bf and Sam were trying to make me laugh whilst I was taking the photos. Mean pair!!!









For my eye make up, I wore Hello Kitty Too Dolly (as pictured above)
Step 1: Primed my eyelids using Lemon Aid by Benefit
Step 2: Applied 1 all over my upper eyelids (starting from browbones down to the creases.
Step 2: Applied 2 on my lower eyelids to just over my creases... blend.
Step 3: Applied 3 just above my creases starting from the inner corners outwards... blend
Step 4: Applied 4 starting from the outer corners on and just above my creases inwards... blend
Step 5: Applied 4 on my lower lash lines concentrating from the outer corners... inwards
Step 6: Applied Clinique eye liner along my upper lash lines
Step 7: Applied Clarins eye liner on my water line
Step 8: Curled my eyelashes using my Giorgio Armani eyelash curlers
Step 9: Applied Lancome Virtouse Mascara on my eyelashes











Hello Kitty Most Popular Lipstick
For the rest of this make up, I used the following:
Face: Foundation: Guerlain Extreme Parure
Foundation: Clinique's Almost Powder in Medium
Pressed Powder: Clinique's Double Matte Pressed Powder
Blusher: MAC Dollymix
Now, the question is:
HIT OR MISS?

MAKE UP

>> BENEFIT MAKE UP>>

I've been promising myself to get another set of mini brush set to carry around when I go out and when I saw this set by Benefit, I just knew what I needed. However, because of my no-buy-mode, I had to put it on hold until I've decided to get the set eventually.






Other brushes are black so they just camouflage with the brush holder but honestly, they're there too! :)



Now you believe me ;)





Idiot proof or what? They're even labeled as to what they're for. Duh!

You can also slip in a few make up items in the brush holder

So, this is how I use mine. Perfect to accommodate my blusher, mini eyeshadow palette, pressed powder, lip and eye pencils and oh yeah, a lippy!


As Benefit at Boots was offering a £5 (9 USD/427 PHP) worth of advantage points on purchase of 2 or more items, I've decided to try this Lemon Aid (I call it lemonade ha ha ha!)


I've already tried using this twice on my lid after applying my Elizabeth Arden Eye Fix Primer and it works really well for me. I've always applied foundation on my eyelids but with lemon Aid, I won't have to do that anymore. I'm just amazed how light my eyelids feel using this as a base for my eye make up. Yesterday, I piled (layered) my eye make up on and it honestly felt like I wasn't wearing anything at all. It also keeps the colour stay looking fresh even after my 12 hour shift. I'd definitely be buying this again but may not be for a very long time as I only use very little of it (patted and not rubbed) on my eyelids as preparation for my eye make up. So, I think, this will last me at least 6 months. Not bad for £15.50 eh!


Who can resist a sample of B Spot eau de toilete when it was staring right at you ;)



So, that's my new Benefit mini haul :)
