MAC Lipstick in 'Ruby Woo' & An Attempt at The Pin-Up Girl Look

I have been itching to wear my Ruby Woo since the day I got it and well even though I haven't been getting an opportunity to wear anywhere outside, I just keep applying it on me at home... So it was natural that I would want to do a post about it. Now the thing with MAC Ruby Woo is that it is no ordinary Red lipstick. It is a cult Red Lipstick and in order to honor the "Retro Matte" part of it, I had to a special look... and well what better than an all American Pin-Up girl look ;)

Yeah yeah I am no model-shodel but then a girl can dream can't she? Especially in the confines of her own home? ;) Ha ha! So anyways without much ado, ladies and gentlemen I present you THE look :D

For those who keep asking me to post the "other" side of my face ;)

I have Asian eyes with an almost absent crease and hence I have done a "cut-crease" technique here in order give some depth to my eyes and give an illusion of a crease...

Products Used:
Eyes
1. MAC Ricepaper on the inner half of the lid
2. MAC Cork on the outer half of the lid
3. MAC Carbon on the crease
4. MAC Folie on the crease to soften the black eye shadow.
5. MAC Honesty as a highlighter on the brow bone.

Lips
1. MAC Retro Matte Lipstick in Ruby Woo

Cheeks
1. Colorbar Blush in Floral Fucsia
2. Lakme Highlighter

Now just a bit about Ruby Woo. It is not a "matte" lipstick but a "retro matte" lippy from MAC. Thus it is a tad bit more drying than the regular MAC matte lippies... Yup the lipstick itself is very dry and you do end up tugging your lips a bit... Which is why I like applying it with a lip bush :) It is dry to the point that there is 0 transfer. Yes I promise... 0 transfer! and no it does not highlight the fine lines on my lips and neither does it feel dry. Its the best matte lippy I have worn in a long time! and by far the best Red lippy ever.

If you are not scared of Red lipsticks then go and get it woman! :P

P.S. Don't you think my hair is shining and looking glossy all of a sudden? :) Secret! Will be revealed soon :) 

Mini Haul During the Pune Blogger's Meet

Heylo people :) As you all know we had a mini Pune Blogger's Meet on Sunday for which I did an OOTD post here. Today's post is about what all I bought that day :) I am sure you guys remember that I had challenged myself to buy as less makeup as possible and try and buy products I only needed and not lusted for :P So beware... My haul is actually a mini haul and contains very less makeup products :( Siiiggghhhhh... So here goes...

1. MAC Retro Matte Lipstick in Ruby Woo
With my love for Red lips, it is a wonder I hadn't bought it earlier :P

2. MAC Lustre Eye Shadow in "Honesty"
Am so glad I got this :) Reviews coming up very soon!

3. Maybelline Makeup Remover
With everyone raving about it, it was difficult not buying it especially when I was looking for a makeup remover since long!


4. Mini Desk Organizer
Yup got this to organize my ever growing collection of lipsticks... Organization post coming up real soon ;)

5. Children's Painting Palette
I am in love with Inglot Duraline and well if you use Duraline every day like I do the I suggest you yourself get a similar palette ASAP! :)

Yup! I have tried my best to stay true to my promise and well I must say that Zara did help me a lot in not getting tempted :P Anything I wanted to buy, I would rush to it and then she would push me away saying "Sam, you don't need it!"... Heheheh Isn't she a darling? :)

Oh btw when we were returning from the meet, Zara, Parita and I live around the same area and so I was dropping them off. Once I reached home and was collecting my packages from the back seat of the car I realised my MAC bag was missing. I instantly knew that Parita who was sitting behind must have by mistake picked it up thinking it to be hers :P So I gave her a call and she dropped it off the next day... The main thing I want to tell you all about is that with my MAC bag she got me a box of homemade brownies that she had baked herself! And they were just heavenly! Yum yum :D Here's a pic ;)

And ladies and gentlemen here's a simple LOTD using products mentioned in points 1,2 and 5 :)
