Movies: George of the Jungle

I was just watching George of the Jungle and I thought to share some fun thoughts about the film!

1. Brendan Fraser (George) has amazing hair in this movie.

2. Leslie Mann (Ursula) has amazing hair in this movie.

3. Guy who plays Lyle (Eric Roberts?) has amazing hair in this movie.

4. It's funny watching "old school" CGI (i.e. the effects on Shep his peanut loving pooch)

5. Adam Shankman did the choreography for this film! Woot! Props for Adam!

6. After I watched this movie for the first time, Brendan Fraser pretty much became the hottest man alive.

That's pretty much it. It's a great fun movie for those idiotic moments where you just need to CHILL.

Peace lovies!

Makeup: MAC 2010 Holiday Collection Tartan Tale

I L O V E Scotland. 

Serious mysterious. Next to Egypt, my dream vacation would be in Scotland. I would love to explore every part of the Scottish Highlands and Lowlands, places like The Isle of Skye and Loch Ness. I would especially love it if I could putt some green at the birth place of golf i.e. St Andrews. My life would be near completion and I could want for nothing more (that statement is a blatant lie. there will always be something that I want).

So what does Scotland have to do with MAC Cosmetics? Only, possibly, the best blockbuster holiday collection EVER! (I seriously am considering this collection in higher standard to the Estee Lauder 2010 Holiday Blockbuster Collection Glamor is Golden)

Tartan Tale

Lip, Eye and Face Kits Peekaboo! Poking a little fun at the kinky part of the kilt, these incorrigible kits for Lips, Eyes and Face have some flasher fun with mirrored compacts, but remain dignified with proper M∙A∙C family crests… New giftables that prove to be seductive, cheeky, good fun, including 6 Dashing Lassie Eye Shadows, 6 Beauties Play It Cool Eye Shadows, 6 Twists of Tartan Eye Shadows, 6 Reelers & Rockers Eye Shadows, Happily Ever After and A Fabulous Fantasy Lip Kits, plus A Triumphant Blush and Hark The Heraldry Face Kits.

Check out the beautiful tartan bags filled with MAC goodies!

Lip and Eye Bags Once upon a time a bonny lass was in a Scottish ska band. She couldn’t just pick one look – punk or princess? So she chose them all…fancy that! Her loot: Dazzle the Lads Lip Bag, with Baron’s Rose Lipstick, Draw Me Close Lip Pencil and Moth to Flame Dazzleglass; Vain & Glorious Lip Bag, with Mellow Mood Lipstick, In Synch Lip Pencil and Baby Sparks Dazzleglass; Noble Knights Lash & Line Eye Bag with Teal Pigment, Blitz & Glitz Fluidline and Zoomblack Zoom Lash mascara; and finally, Violet My Love Lash & Line Kit, replete with Violet Pigment, Macroviolet Fluidline and Zoomblack Zoom Lash mascara.

Brush Bags A drawbridge lowers, an electric-guitar wails… and a Princess makes an entrance – with her bag of tricks! New M∙A∙C Brush Bags are here for every girl who wants to arrive at the ball in flawless fashion, with everything she needs in these nifty, handsome, heathery tartan modern mash-ups, trimmed in shiny patent: A Lady & Her Tricks Buff & Line Brush Collection with 168SE, 187SE, 209SE, 219SE and 252SE; Sweep Me Off My Feet Sweep & Define Brush Collection, with 129SE, 190SE, 212SE, 227SE and 275SE; She’s Got It All Apply, Define & Line Brush Collection, with 194SE, 204SE, 224SE, 266SE and 275SE. Throw on your favourite Vivienne Westwood tartan frock (knickers optional) and off you go,
perfectly ready to raise a ruckus!

And have a go at the cute packaging for the boxed sets!

A wicked tale, a Celtic conundrum! Which to choose? With a kiss from a rose, holiday kits come hither! Bawdy beauties and sexy swains swagger with safety-pin snarls and curtsy coquettishness – it takes all kinds! So we’re offering this exclusive, and extensive, lineup: 5 Sassy Pink Lassies Lipglass; 5 Sassy Coral Lassies Lipglass; 5 Sassy Neutral Lassies Lipglass. And for those that require pixie dust, 5 Warm Thrillseekers Pigments/Glitter; 5 Cool Thrillseekers Pigments/Glitter; 5 Smoky Thrillseekers Pigments/Glitter and God Save the Queens! 5 Naughty Little Vices Nail Lacquer… a new shade called “Vice Is Nice” says it all!

Of course, chicas on a real world budget won't be able to afford the whole holiday collection, so the smart chicas pick-and-choose the must-haves. Can I just say that, first, they release the Disney collab, Venomous Villains, which is a mini blockbuster collection in itself! And then, they release the holiday collection RIGHT AFTER. They should have just asked for our paychecks. :/

So here are my picks and possible buys for when the collection comes out. Keep in mind, I haven't seen swatches, so my opinions are based on the press release photos.

First Impression Must-Haves

Hark the Heraldry Face Kit. Includes Dame (Satin, sophisticated blue-pink), Plum Foolery (Sheertone, faint dusty plum) and Oh So Fair (Beauty Powder, pale pink *from Venomous Villains). 

I chose this one over "A Triumphant Blush Face Kit" because of the colors. The blue-pink and plum could show up quite nicely on my dark skin tone. And honestly, what is the purpose of me buying a color like Smooth Harmony? Forget contouring! It'd just turn out to be like face powder on my skin. Moving on...

Vain & Glorious Lip Bag. Includes Mellow Mood Lipstick (Lustre, sheer pink), Baby Sparks (Dazzleglass, sparkly baby pink) and In Synch (Lip Pencil, light pink *from Too Fabulous). 

I love me some pink lips. So it was quite brainless that I'd choose this lip set over the "Dazzle the Lads Lip Bag". Although the peachy nudes from that set might win me over, for now, I'm sticking with the Vain & Glorious lip bag.

Her blooming Cheek (Satin, bright irredescent blue-pink).

A lot of people would get so afraid of this pink color that they would literally run (or at least turn) the other way. Trust me, I used to be one of those people. But after discovering the power of such a beautiful color on your cheeks, I say "I am not afraid!" BRING IT. I hope to get it and show you all what I mean by this :D

As for what I didn't choose... the eyeshadows look impeccable but I won't ever bring myself to use them and destroy the lovely tartan design (read: waste). No pigments, nail polish or limited edition brushes for me! None of them strike me as an absolute must-have!

Updates: October 19th 2010

Alright! I finally downloaded an App that helps me post blog entries on-the-go (read: from my iPhone!).

Hopefully I shall be returning proper to the blogsphere with better posts (more pictures!). More importantly with more frequent posts!

I don't really get the luxury of slacking in front of the computer and blogging. I don't even FB much anymore. I tend to just use my iPhone wherever I am to connect to the interwebs.

Like right now, I'm sitting at a bus stop and waiting for my usually late/weird timing bus.

Lovely handy feature this app!

MAC Venomous Villains Part 1

I am BEYOND excited! I am ECSTATIC!

My lovely younger sister helped me snag 4 of my 6 lust items from the MAC Venoumous Villains collection. 

It launched yesterday (October 8th) in all MAC stores across our island and within HOURS things sold out! I am going to try hunting for the other 2 items today. 

Wish me luck! Will try to do a proper haul when I return from the hunting. 

Work It! - The Elusive Line of Separation

I'm new to the working world and I've always believed that bringing work home was an integral part of work life.

I am suddenly realizing that there is a need for a thick line of separation. 

And this is only after three and a half weeks of work.

I guess it makes simple sense.

Don't bring work home because work is work, and home is home. You don't bring your home to work, so don't bring work home.
