Yeahoooooo!! Just in time for me to get more lippies!!!

If i could remember, the MUA at Stage did tell me once that Stage was from Germany. I may not be accurate but if you want  to read more, check them out here. Now, matte lipsticks are the enemies of flaky lips. Mine is non other. I got this just to explore and experiment out Stage cosmetics as I am curious to what is in store. If you are in Singapore, Stage cosmetics stores are at Bugis Junction beside Diva and Suntec City. Now, i heard it is in Ion as well. So I got this lipstick for only $20. If you realise, all my pictures are not watermarked. I didnt give up on editting my pictures but my macbaby is still in the hospital. Gonna fetch him this weekend. Till then, my post will be AS NAKED as it can be.

The packaging is very stylish. It is much bulkier than MAC does. Looks similar as both has black packagings. I shall not compare with MAC as I would like to credit this product as it is. I love how the packaging is fat which is great for gripping. Plus the rubebry material is nice to touch. There is a scent towards the lipstick. It smells like chocolate. NO KIDDING! Really! I loveee the smell so much, i open the container just to smell it. hahah! Anyway, apart from the packaging, i got this in Pastel Posy. Love the names given. Very interesting however.

So whats my take on this?

I have to say. To compare it with MAC Satin lipstick, it is less drying to the lips. Mac lipstick like BNB, really tore my lips apart. The stage lipstick gave a nice matte colour to your lips but it does not dry out. It glides smoothly and it is long lasting. However, i felt that i needed to apply it twice to build the colour as it is much more sheer than a MAC lipstick. But regardless, i love how the texture settles on my lips. Very comfortable. As if i am not wearing any lipstick at all. Plus they have a whole big range of matte, nude lipsticks. So for $20 lipstick, i would give Stage a good credit as it didnt dry my lips out. I am even confident to wear this without any balm beforehand.

Product Rating: 4/5

Packaging: 5/5

Would I buy again? Of course. I am going to get another shade. Smells and feels great!

Bazaar Puasa in translation meaning Fasting month Bazaar. There are many2 places holding these bazaars where all food such as snacks, meals are sold in a small market. There you can see many Malays crowding the area trying to get sweets and pastries for our break fast which is due at 7.14pm tonight. So yeah. I look somehow weak in this pictures. But really, im doing ok.haha! Boy i got puasa face!...ahahaha

Prolly not an important post but this is one of my most EASIEST for running errands or out and about for awhile. :)

So, what is this goodie bag which cost $150?!!! Well, firstly the sales person who helped us through said that it cost $80 of goodies in the bag. So okie...that was not written on the glow magazine. Anyway here is what we got!

All i want to talk about is the Whitening SERUM. We tried it out and the back of our palm and it is super smooth. It lightens you skin and make your face more radiant. The rest i got was like ...okay..cellulite lotion?! You must be KIDDING ME! I just need to run and burn my fats and not apply lotion?S!!! ahahah!

So my next goodies which is the in BOBBI BROWN BAG!

We planned to swap our stuffies because firstly we want to swap our MUFE products to help each other be certain in the products that we got. I am going to try her holy grail foundation! wohooooT! Anyway, so sweet of her to top up in the bag! I told her only 5 products! She gave me 9! OMG Instantly i felt sooo bad! hahaha! Anyway girl, next post to you, more goodies frm me! :) These are the stuffies!!!! I AM EXCITED!

Thanks lin! NEXT OUTING we shall plan okay! haha! Anyway, back to the HAUL part, we went to STAGE. And i got myself a nude lipstick! Nothing can beat brave new bronze. AND I SO WANT ANOTHER ONE! I regret everytime i think of BNB. I should have gotten like 3 when it came out! I am trying to get it online, but pple raise it up to $48!!! ITS Freaking Crazy! Oh i hope i found like brave new bronze in the bus stop or it drops from d sky...haha! So here it is!

Thank you again for reading. :) I am heading back to write my essay. Hope you enjoy it as much as I DO!! WOHOOT!

I knew and remembered i had the similar colour somewhere in my collections....what was it?....

Its my 96 eyeshadow palette?!!!! Oh! What a waste huh!

So, if you have the 96 eyeshadow palette, you will benefit alot!

I am quite shocked how intense the palette colour was. The Stage es looks much less pigmented, is maily because it has golden shimemrs on it which tone the colour down alot comparing to the eyeshadow palette. so yeah! Another dupe!

That is by far the longest title i ever came across. Haha! So, i went to bugis last yesterday to meet my besties there. So, with al the men, i checked out STAGE cosmetics. My gay fren obviously loves being there. My experience was certainly a pleasant one. The service was great, fun and helpful. The people there are very stylish and so gorgeous. The design for the shop was a backstage concept. That was what the MUA told me, that STAGE concept is to portay backstage make ups for events and more. No wonder there is the significant framed bulbs and red carpet in the middle of the store. I liked how the atmosphere is very calm. I was introduced to their new collection eyeshadow palette, the Floral something. The colours was not my cup of tea so i gave it a miss. 

As for the products, i scanned through the whole store. The eyeshadows are very limited in colours. And are much bigger than MAC eyeshadows are.They are much more cheaper by a few dollars than MAC. I do not want to compare it to MAC, but it seems so much closer to MAC products. The packaging, the store theme colours, the displays and more. So, the MUA recommended me a colour which i do not have in my collection. A lime green! How ironic! I was so afraid to use it. She tried it on me and i actually liked it. It really brightens my eyes up and besides, the 3 men who followed me loves it..ahahah so yah as cliche as it can be..i got it just for a souvenir of my own. It cost $20 and here is what i think of it :)

The quantity is definitely more than MAC. Mac is 1.5g.

The colour is gorgeous. Reminds me of bitter. It has a nice gold reflects to it which can hardly be seen when i swatch.

I am not quite happy with the pigmentation as I really needs to build it up like four times to get my ideal colour out.

So overall as a start and my first experience in stage, I am generally happy with what i bought. It is not exactly perfect but it is not a terrible product either. Although i have to build it up on my eyes, when i tried it, it is unfair that i review it straight away without wearing and testing it out in a day. So yeah. Definitely go check stage out. :)
