Fake MAC

Left - Real  ....... Right - Fake

Look at the picture above. Do you notice a difference? Yup, I was ebay faked. I should have known better than to get a face product off ebay but Australia is so crazy expensive that buying them online is just way cheaper. I've bought lipsticks off ebay before and they were all perfect so I decided to give one of the face products a try but wasn't so lucky this time.

Anyway, yes the one on the right is the faker. Difference between the two were:
- Packaging: writing on front, unsturdy, faker had a matte really soft casing, mirror inside wasn't placed properly
- Product: ew. Flaked soooo much with just one brush swipe, smelt horrible
- Colour: just look at the pictures. Faker is a NW25 and  the real deal on the left is a NW20.

Left - Real  ....... Right - Fake
I bought the colour NW25 online (yuuup that was NW25?!? Wayyy too dark and so orangey) Tried it anyway, one swipe of my brush over it and literally sooo much crumble product - you can see a tiny bit in the pic - just imagine that all over. 
Went to MAC yesterday, as I'm back home so it's way cheaper than Australia, to buy the real deal and i got NW20 (notice the difference of the NW20 original and NW25 faker?) I even asked to look at the original NW25 and it was sooooooooo different. Crazy.

Lesson learned. Don't get your make-up foundations off ebay. Lipsticks I will continue as I was happy with my previous purchases and got some trusted sellers on that front but never again for the face! Be careful guys, lots of people trying to rip each other off out there.

Lipstick HG!!

Oh. My. God. I think I have found my perfect HG nude lipstick. Although still a major fan of creme de nude, I went to MAC yesterday and picked up MAC Studio Tech (wore it yesterday and like it so far) and also a MAC Sheen Supreme lipstick in 'Supremely Confident'. Love it!!!!. Why have I never tried a sheen supreme before? They are like a lipstick - but glossy!! Amazing. Literally. I heard they are bringing out more sheen supreme colours soon mayb endish of year so there will be more colours available to get :)

Luxy Hair Extensions

So I've been wanting hair extensions for, like, ever. Literally! Every time I hype myself up to buy them I spend a day researching different ones, find a company I like, research it a bit more, look at the different colours aaaand... it stops there. It's like I have this fear of committing to one shade in case I end up buying the wrong one and wasted all that money? Yes, I know most of them you can return as long as you didn't open them, but really, who wants to go through all that. It's just so much better when you get online purchases perfect from the start.

Today I had another one of those days. BUT. I actually ended up purchasing a set :) I settled on a band called Luxy Hair owned by two sister and which sell 20" 100% Remi Human Hair in weights of 120g and 160g.

The two Sisters
It took me a while to figure out what the weights meant? But basically it's no change in the hair/quality/length etc, the only difference is the quantity. So 160g had 10 pieces and 120g had 9. They recommended the 120g for finer/normal hair and the heavier one for thicker etc. I got the 120g because my hair is really thin and I even doubt I'll be putting all 9 pieces in?! Hope I made the right choice.

I had SUCH a hard time choosing the colour. Spent the whole day again just trying to research and decide. Ended up settling on the "#18 Dirty Blonde" and even though I'm tryin gto grow my hair out to my natural colour, which is darker than this one, they always say it's easier to darken lighter extensions than lighter darker ones. Check out the sort of colour match below.
Shipping is free btw, big plus, and it'll take abt 2 weeks until I get them (sent them over to my Malaysian address since I'll be going back home end of the month). Once I get them I'll do a full review and some pictures of how they look etc. I've never had extensions before so will practice putting them in a couple times first :P.

Do any of you use extensions or tried these before? Any tips on easy application or hiding the clips well? xxx


**UPDATE** 


I thought I'd post some pictures of me wearing my Luxys:
