    MAC Hey Sailor Collection Purchase and Review

    MAC Hey Sailor

    Hello there!!


    The MAC Hey Sailor Collection got released late last month:

    June 23 (Sat) – Glorietta & Shangrila

    June 24 (Sun) – Rockwell & Trinoma

    June 30 (Sat) – Cebu


    I was able to purchase something from the collection when it was released in the US as their summer collection! It is a 40 piece collection and I really love nautical inspired things! The whole collection is inspired by nautical pin up girls by the way.  :)



    Product


    I’ve been loving red lippies lately! What I love about this lippie is that it has a satin finish and it’s a lot more moisturizing than most red lipsticks. I was actually about to buy MAC’s famous Rubywoo but it was too dry on my lips. I know Rubywoo is a MAC classic but I don’t think it would work for me because I have really dry lips. The packaging is absolutely cute! It has MAC’s trademark vanilla-ish scent. I might buy a backup for this lippie because it’s limited edition. :)

    The only downside of it being limited edition is if you fall in love with it, you might have to wait for a long tim before it gets reproduced! :)


    (RIGHT: MAC RED RACER, LEFT: Covergirl in Hot Passion)


    When swatched, it looks similar to Covergirl’s Hot passion. However, when you look more closely, Hot passion is pinker while Red Racer is a truer red. See my review for Covergirl Hot passion here!


    Availability


    The collection is available in MAC counters in Manila and Cebu. Lipsticks cost 1000 a piece.


    Good luck guys! Stay safe! :)

    Feather Hair Extensions

    OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

    Hello everyone!

    Last year, feather hair extensions became a huuge trend in the United States. I actually did not know about this trend until one of my readers asked me about it.

    Here are some photos of celebrities sporting the feathers:


    I did my research and found an online seller (https://www.facebook.com/lesrouxaccessories) in the Philippines. When I found the online seller, I got intrigued by the feathers and decided to order some for myself.


    A piece of feather costs P190 per piece. I found it quite expensive so i decided to go for their set kit (P799). They have around twelve set kits to choose from and I chose “ginger spice” which contains 5 pieces of feathers in shades of orange. I decided on orange feathers because I thought they would match my hair well. :)


    The set kit came with two micro beads that will be used to attach the feather onto the head. I found a tutorial online to help me attach my feathers. My dad helped me attach the feathers onto me head. teehee! Click here for the tutorial that i used. :)


    Me with the feather extensions:

    My thoughts on feather hair extensions:

    • i love that they are so easy to attach onto my hair
    • i also love that you can treat the feathers as hair (you can shampoo, iron, blow dry, curl them)
    • i wish they were longer to match my hair length
    • i wish they were cheaper. teehee

    I really love how my blog pushes me to try new things! :)

    That’s it for now! :)

    Stay safe, everyone!
