Fake MAC? :O How extreme can people get?

Hey guys!

I heard that recently fake MAC products are getting more and more common :O And most of the time people purchase them without realising that they are knock-offs. Obviously, the best way to ensure that what you are purchasing is 100% authentic MAC or whatever brand for that matter is to buy it from their actual stores, online or licensed sellers. Most fake products are sold on eBay from people without registration, so you have no idea whether the item is truly authentic :( A friend of mine recently purchased fake MAC products with include a FAKE BRUSH SET, a FAKE WONDER WOMAN BLUSH (the seller also sold fake wonder woman eye shadows but my friend didn't get them) and A FAKE LADY GAGA VIVA GLAM EYE SHADOW. If you guys were wondering how I knew they were fake, continue to read :)

Okay, first, the fake brush set. The brush set consists of 5 brushes and costs $15 (SGD) Converted, it is roughly $12 USD or around £8 GBP or $11 AUD. Seeing this, you can tell it's a fake. The price of ONE MAC brush does not even come close to this, let alone a set of five -.- Next, the brushes included in the set. Below is a picture of the set.

As you can see, they are not even numbered according to the numbers MAC labels their brushes with. And in case you guys didn't know, I visit the MAC frequently, AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN AN EYE SHADOW SPONGE APPLICATOR ON THE SITE. -.- Fail. When they arrive on my friend's side, I will borrow them and most likely do a video so you guys can see the differences between the authentic MAC brushes and this fake set -.- Also, this came in many colours like black, pink, gold and transparent. -.- She also had another type of 'MAC' brush set, which had transparent handles, and these cost more as she claimed they were 'limited edition' -.- Here they are :

Next, the fake wonder woman blush. The seller didn't provide really clear pictures, so I couldn't really tell if this particular blush my friend got was fake or not, but judging by the other stuff, it's most probably fake. The seller sold a normal MAC blush, the ones that are permanent on the MAC site. But the ones she had came with a small brush and a mirror. FAKE!!! And her wonder woman eye shadow was even worst *eye roll* I'm sure you guys know that MAC eye shadows are flat and never have that 'dome' shape, not like Coastal Scents type. And also, the Wonder Woman eye shadow palette looks like this

Not like this:

Kinda pathetic right? -.-'' *serve eye roll and face palm*

Last, the Lady Gaga Viva Glam eye shadow. After doing some research, I found that this product never really existed in MAC. That's why it is important to Google stuff up before purchasing it. However, do correct me if I'm wrong about this, because I found all this info on Google, but personally, I thought Viva Glam was lip sticks and lip glosses. So these people are just trying to use the Viva Glam name to sell their fake products, which really sucks because the money you send on an AUTHENTIC VIVA GLAM is donated to the MAC AIDS fund to help people with HIV AIDS. So if you buy a fake Viva Glam, you're mean :( So don't be mean :) Anyways, I don't have any picture of this fake eye shadow because the seller took it down as 'all pieces of the eye shadow have been sold, and we can't bring in more as it is limited edition :D' -.-" Anyways, when the items arrive, I will do a video for you guys okay? :)

Possible Day Out on 1st August? :)

Haul 28 July 2012 ^^

Hey guys! So as you guys know I went out today to collect some items I ordered online :)
I collected them at Tampines MRT Station, so I happened to stop by Tampines 1 and Tampines Mall.
Okay so first, the items I got online :)
Can't remember how much the studs were, but the ear cuff were selling at $5 each, as well as the hair cuff :)

Stuff from Tampines :)
Okay, so I went to Tampines 1 and Tampines Mall while I was there :)
At Tampines 1, I went to Daiso to get some stuff for storage, but it was so crowded! The line was SUPER SUPER LONG, and I was in a hurry and didn't have time to wait. If I didn't have the meet ups, I would have queued up :( Anyways, I also had a look at Topshop which was having a sale, but I didn't find anything that caught my eye :( I went to Sasa to look for some foundation, concealer and eye pencils, but maybe I wasn't in the 'shopping mood' or something, but for once I managed to walk in Sasa and NOT go crazy. But I did get a foundation brush and a concealer brush, which were brands Sasatinnie and Cala Naturale respectively. The foundation brush costs $10, and the concealer brush costs $7.90 with a 20% discount ^^. I also bought a small travel-pack sized Loreal White Perfect Milky Foam Facial Soap as my facial soap was finishing ^^ I also bought an eye pencil sharpener :) I was tempted to get false eye lashes which were selling at 2 pairs for $8, original price at $5.90, but then I needed to get another eye lash glue which was an extra $5+ I think, and I also didn't know when I would use them as there are no up coming formal events and stuff and I'm super busy to go out often, so I passed (but now I kinda regret passing :/ ) I was also tempted to get an eye lash curler, but I didn't (WHY DIDN'T I!! WHAT WAS GOING THROUGH MY MIND AT THAT TIME!?!) Sigh, regret :( There was also this SUPER COOL lipstick that changed colour over time, and they had super pretty pastel colour which drew my attention, but seriously, pastel colours on your lips? Anyways, they were $12 for one, so I think I might go back to get them :) Okay, so that's Sasa done!

Next stop, Times! I initially went here to kill time (that's kinda ironic :x ) and not planning to get anything, but damn my annoying eyes spotted something. It was this cute calculator (of all things). It came in three designs, My Melody (Pink), Snoppy (is that how you spell it? Anyway, it was Yellow) and Elmo (Red). I chose the Pink one. They cost $11.15 for one, and I have no idea why I bought it :/ Argh, whatever, what is done, is done. *sighs* Here it is :) It's SOLAR POWERED :O

I also went to ................ (wait for it).................... DIVA :D I REALLY REALLY wanted to get a clip with feather coming down (I can't describe it!) but it is SUPER PRETTY, just take my word for it (; But it was $17, the most expensive one was $20+, which actually isn't that bad, just that I was short on cash as I need to save :( So I just got this kind of Boho Chich head band, which is actually really pretty too and can double up as a necklace :) See, I have good taste :P It was only $12 :) I wanted to get a pair of purple button ear studs, but there was some Korean tourists there and they were blocking my way :( so I didn't get it :( Anyways, PICTURES.............. :)

So yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :) hehe, MORE PICTURESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS :)

In the spirit of the London Olympics, I decided to change my wallet to my Union Jack one. GO UK!   ♡ 

Day Out Tomorrow :)

Hey guys :)
I'll be going out tomorrow to collect my snake ear cuff and hair cuff from a blogshop I ordered from :)
After the meet up, I'll be going to Daiso to get some stuff for my room, like pretty boxes and containers to store my make up :)
So yeahhhhhhhhhhh. Here is a picture of the ear cuff and hair cuff I'm getting :

Mini Haul 27 July 2012 ^^

Hey guys! I know I haven't been posting in a while, but here I am now! (;
Well, on the way home today, I stopped by Guardian :) Initially, I went to Watsons, but they didn't have what I was looking for :( so I went to Guardian :D
Anyways, I was looking for a foundation brush :) I wasn't really interested about the brand or anything, I just needed one! I went to Watsons to see if they have a house-brand foundation brush but they didn't :( So I went down to Guardian and guess what? They had it :D I got their house-brand foundation brush, which costs about $7.95 (I honestly can't remember! But it was under $8). Along with that, I bought their house-brand nail buffer at $5.95 (Again, not sure! But around there).
I just used the brush to apply some BB cream (y'know, just to try it out ^^) I don't have much to say because it's just like any other brush .__. I haven't tried the nail buffer yet, although I have removed it from the packaging :)
So yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :)

Review: Items from Haul 21 July 2012

Hey guys. Woke up pretty early (well, earlier than usual) as I decided to do this post now :)

STUDS FROM LE BLOG-SHOP

I REALLY REALLY LOVE EM' STUDS

So yeah, I had sweet dreams about the studs :) I love them so much that I'm getting a few more and a packet for my bestie as a birthday present :) Will post pictures of them :) If you'd like to order some, just e-mail me :)

ESSENCE I ♥ ROCK GLOSS EYE PENCIL
This is REALLY REALLY glossy, no joke! It is also intense (sorry, I can't find the right word for it, uh, bold?) and it really stays on! I drew a line yesterday just to test it and IT'S STILL ON MY HAND! It is the line (it's slightly faded *duh!* but still can be seen). It also glides really smoothly, not like most eye pencils which tug on the loose skin. So yeah, really liked this :)

ESSENCE NAIL COLOUR 3
I thought this was pretty cool, that's why I got it :/ I usually get things if they have nice packaging, and this is an example of it :P I also thought it was pretty handy to have two nail polishes on one stick thing (sorry, it's so early I can't think straight :/ )The colours are pretty :) The reason why they call it 'nail colour 3' is because with the two colours they give, you can mix it together to make a third colour :D But the individual colours are nice on their own :)

ESSENCE LIPSTICK
I really like the colour of it :) As the name suggests, it gives your lips a frosted look, but you can still see the light pink :) It also smells really pleasant and definitely will get more ^^

ESSENCE I ♥ EXTREME VOLUME MASCARA
I've checked Essence site, and apparently all items under the 'I ♥' range are usually items that are bold to make statements and it's more of a rocker look.. Which explains why this mascara is REALLY REALLY BLACK. When I buy mascara, I don't really care what it says, whether it is Volume, Length or whatever, to me they are all the same. But my current favourite is Maybelline the Falsies. Everyone knows Maybelline is the MASTER at making awesome mascaras, so it will be pretty difficult to find a substituent mascara at a budget price (well at least cheaper than Maybelline, because Maybelline is already quite cheap) For this, it doesn't really compare to my Maybelline one. My Maybelline gives more length (duh, that's why it's called the Falsies) which I prefer. This one kinda make your lashes darker and bold, but I know Essence have tons of mascaras, so maybe there is one that can match up to Maybelline. I'll do my 'research' and do a review on one (after I buy it) and see how it is. Although, I've narrow the list down to two potential ones :) But one thing I like about this is that it doesn't stiffen your lashes. I feel that my Maybelline one kinda does that, and it's gets annoying when they are stiff and stuck together.

ESSENCE BRUSHES
Well, I haven't tried the brushes yet :/ But once I do and like get used to it I'll do a review :D
