M.A.C 5-Alarm

I noticed that other then YSL's tint in oil, I have been posting my old lipstick collection. Today, I finally added a fresh new product to my lipstick stand - actually 2.

The Red, Red, Red collection from MAC has been out for several months now but I haven'tbeen going out lately and wasn't able to see it until yesterday. They are in fact almost sold out now in stores and I was quite lucky to buy it. You can still get them online though! 

I bought 5-Alarm ($19) which is described as a soft orange-red lustre lipstick.

My Favorite Lipstick Combo!

Sometimes I get bored with the lipstick shades I have or sometimes the colour I bought simply doesn't seems to suit me any more. That is when I experiment with mixing lipsticks I have and today, I'd like to introduce you my most sccessful combination!

This is M.A.C's Myth. I have been using this fellow for about five-six years now and it's been my number one nude lipstick. However, I found myself looking a bit pale wearing Myth lately. Maybe the tone of my skin changed? Or perhaps my taste in makeup changed? I haven't figured it out yet but I just stopped wearing it by itself and started to use it as lip concealer. 

It has a peachy under tone and is opaque enough to cover my lip colour. 

This is M.A.C's Korean Candy. As a Korean, when I first heard the name of it, I couldn't help but buy this girl. If it's named Korean Candy, it can't look bad on a Korean girl, eh? 

The formula of Korean Candy is very creamy compared to Myth which is a satin line lipstick. It is a orangy red colour which is a similar shade as kimchi. And yes, it suited my typical Korean skin tone! However, because of its very vibrant colour, it isn't suitable for me as a daily lipstick and I often got bored of it.

MAC Paradisco

MAC Cosmetics was founded in Toronto 1984 and since then the company has developed its own empire in the industry. I consider one if the reason how they became so successful is because they have a wide range of colours to choose from. Walking into a MAC store makes your eyes wander into their colourful makeup products. To avoid that, I always make a shopping list before I go in the store so that I won't get hypnotized!

I picked up Paradisco from my last visit to their The Bay store. The eyeshadow was C$19 but they were having a 10% off Event for The Bay Card Holders.  I'll be sure to post any Bay Promotions going forward as well! :-)
