whoopee!~

I popped by the post office today to pick up a parcel & to also give some of old clothes to Tita Remy (i chat with her constantly whenever im at the PO). It was lunchtime when i got there but Tita Remy was kind enough to ask one of her colleague to pinch in a favor to fetch my package.

I was pretty surpise to find out that the package was from Heather. I joined in her Harajuku contest before & i never expected that we won (yup...we!) for it was my first time posting something on youtube. Whoopee!

Anyway, i was on a public vehicle because i want to drop by a bookstore to look for Jude Deveraux's novel but i can't resist taking a peek at what's inside...

& i love everything!

Now i'll have my first hand experience the the Julep Masque... yipee for me!

She sent me the:
  • Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque
  • Mac 20 Lash
  • MAC Satin Lipstick in Mac Red
Im so excited about the Julep Masque the most because im currently suffering from acne. I'll do a review of it sometime. The Mac 20 lash is just a half lash that is perfect for cat-eyes look!

As for the Mac Red...

Well,the name says it all...it's red!

For some reason when i tried it on, i felt like it just made all the imperfections on my face more obvious. I guess it's because at the back of my mind only the flawless-looking women can sport this kind of color.

For some reason too it made me think of illicit kissing scene where the men are all mussed up with red stain on their lips because of kissing a woman..
wow!

all that because of this color?!
haha...lol

This is too dramatic for me...im not sure if i can even use this when i go out though. One more, is it just me...but when i rub it off my lips, i felt my lips went a bit numb. It's weird..thinking that this is my first mac lipstick...I don't have any experience like that with lancome...how about you,girls? maybe it's just me... Anyways, i'll get to know it once i tried other mac lippies...

Well, that's it for now. Hope you all have/had a great start for your week.
New week, new beginnings!

Jaa ne~!

Congrats on your first MAC lipstick :). But no, they don't make my lips feel numb (I guess everyone reacts differently).

Eve said...

It looks great on you! Hm, my lips don't feel numb after a MAC lipstick... maybe it's just that one tube?

WOW! Queen Helene Mint Julep is the freaking bomb. I had it in trial size and ang sarap nyan. Too bad wala akong kilala na nasa states para padalhan ako... :( I'll try to find it ebay nga.

Let us know how you like the mint julep! ^_^

AskMeWhats said...

hey sis, maybe you're not just used to with matte lipsticks , you probably have to apply a lip balm or moisturizer first prior to the lipstick, but if it kept on stinging or have this stinging sensation you could be allergic to it... :( sorry..but hey! congrats for winning :)
