Pictures don't do these justice. (and MAC Colour Craft Updates)

Remember Beauty+Life's MUFE at Sephora alert? Today my sister and I were roaming around sephora after a day's work (for me, a course) and we were about to walk out of Sephora when I saw MUFE! We had such a lovely time talking to the MUFE MUA (read: she is not the sales-staff, just attached to the brand as a MUA) and she was amazing, and it is truly one of the best experience to be talking to a professional about makeup products. And the amazing irony is that while I was at course today, I was thinking of paying the MUFE store at Stamford House (was in the area) and checking out the products again...but I didn't get to going there eventually. Perhaps everything is a blessing in disguise.

Ok, cut to the chase. I bought the infamous No.92 eyeshadow, and an Aqua Eyes Liner in No. 19. Honestly, my camera just didn't pick up the purple tones of the products and they end up looking blue and black. But No. 92 is a true bright purple. All the MUFE eyeshadows are super pigmented!!! And lovely MUA was showing me how to layer their glitters over the eyeshadows, man, they look really dazzling and if I didn't act rationally, I would have bought a bunch of the pigments.

Feeling playful with the eyeliner, and I swatched a heart shape with it. Cute! Deep purple metallic in finish. Very creamy and pigmented. And the eyeshadow, is pretty intense on its own but over a primer it is the bomb!

** Hastily applied the eyeshadow and blended out the edges. And hastily drawn on the eyeliner too.

Ok, if you are not intrigued by No 92 yet, check out WSITN's recent haul video which featured the purple eyeshadow (click here)

Or, you can check out makeupbyRenRen's kick-ass dramatic purple eyeshadow in this video

CONFESSION:

At this point, I might want to add that No 92 is part of a growing list of products in my stash which I got because of the hype/mystery/fascination built up by people I have heard and seen using and raving about. The rest include:

MAC Parrot eyeshadow
MAC Petticoat MSF
MAC Club eyeshadow
MUFE HD Finishing powder
Barry M 129 lip-paint
MAC Peppermint Patti
China Glaze For Audrey

** and several more items which I can't recall for now.

Am I the only guilty of being hyped up one here?

OK, I did promise some MAC updates as mentioned in the title of this entry, and if you want to know more MAC updates, check out my previous posts HERE and Beauty+Life's latest blog entry. This is regarding the MAC Colourcaft collection.

*** STYLE MAG (July) featured the Colourcraft collection in their pages, and you can't see the products clearly but the spread alone is droolsome enough. As usual, they get the names of everything wrong! But just names alone, I am definitely getting Daft Pink, and one of the eyeshadow quad with the black, blue, white etc.

Supposedly the collection comes out this Friday, and since I am still on course in the town area, it's so easy for me to check out the collection in person. I think I will mostly like just get one Mineralised Blush, and one MSF from this collection. The eyeshadows are cute, but most likely I will not use them, so I will give them a miss.

P/S updates:

Fresh Cut palette is a really quick and easy to use everyday palette. I used it today, and I really like the coral shades in that palette!

I rubbed my finger over the eyeliner swatch, and guess what, it stayed put!! No smudges!

Look mom, no smudges!!

MUFE Aqua Eyes liner retails for S$32, and the eyeshadow retails for S$35 while the 'diamond' range with shimmer (really PRETTY) retails for S$39.

Other items worth checking out if you are new to this brand: the full coverage concealer, the concealer corrector palette, the whole HD range, the loose eyeshadows, and the Aqua Liners. Oh, EVERYTHING basically.

That's all, and thanks for reading!

Hullo,
I was at MUFE at Stamford House and the MA did my eyes for me; she used the Aqua Eyes liner in black and even set it with black eyeshadow. within 2 hours, the eyeliner had smudged pretty badly on my lower lids (below my lashes) and had smeared on my upper lids. I was v v v disappointed cos i actually wanted to get a liner in 9L (a deep metallic purple).... sigh ... So headed to Robinsons instead and got a Silky Girl purple liner (thanks Sophia for the tip) which lasted waaaay longer and 2 waterproof ones from Bourjois (great colours; got a deep metallic green and a indigo blue - 20% + 10% off sommore)

wow seriously that bad, the liner? I have mainly used it as a base for my purple/ black eyeshadows... but never on its own yet... but I have come to expect that pencil liners in general are very smudgy even though they look like they don't smudge on your hands, but i think eyelids are oilier and therefore makes products smudge, so when I use pencil liners, I usually want a smudgy effect, not a thin clean line like liquid.

so.... anyway... if i want smth that stays on and clean the whole day i use either cream or liquid liners.
havent tried out bourjois liners, think I have only one in Silver (dunno what I would use it for hahaha)...

PS: i actually use a liquid liner on my upper lashline. The pencil liners are usually all for my lower lashline; i really like MAC's Black Russian but to prevent it from smudging (i.e racoon eyes), i set it with my black shadow (mont black) with an angled brush and it usually gets me AT LEAST 5-6 hours (in both aircon and non-aircon settings). sigh ...
the silver liner can be used in the inner corners of your eyes to open them up? I've also used silver or gold liners to draw above my black liners so you get a nice effect (but has to be with darker eyeshadow). Experiment? =)
