back on the road again...

Exams are here. No more shopping for me! Still have enough new clothes to last me a couple of years at least. Plus been a little M.A.C crazy recently. Some of their stuffs are really worth the money, because mac cosmetics are not that pricey actually, just slightly higher than drugstore brands, but you get pretty high quality makeup. Not all the things are good though. Take for instance, their foundations. I heard that many people break out from their foundations, which I'm not surprised. Mac stands for makeup art cosmetics. They're really into the artistry form of makeup, hence the excellent colour pigmentations of their eye and lip products. Their face products can create a flawless finish as well, but the chemicals in their face products might not be too friendly to many people's skins. I kind of feel that mac is about how the product look on the face after application (like visual art form), but not really towards being gentle to the skin. Hence for foundations that you're going to use everyday, I think skincare brands like clinique, are better than mac, or any other theatrical makeup brands. That being said, I still love their face powders (excluding powder foundations). Their face powders are normally applied over foundation to set your makeup, and hence, although the chemical composition might not be too skin-friendly, the powder does not have direct contact with your skin surface.

Just my 2 cents worth....

Anyway I'm on a project 10 pan! Meaning, I'm to use up 10 cosmetics items ENTIRELY before I can purchase anymore new makeup. This time of the year is perfect for project 10 pan. Exams are here, and project 10 pan will prevent me from wasting precious study time on shopping for cosmetics. Yay =)
