Bambi, Makeup Artist and Makeup Junkie

 

After the much-awaited countdown, MAC Cosmetics' limited edition, Fafi enters Manila with style and MAC counters have prepared for it with matching props, funky music, and of course, the star of the show, the Fafi collection (pronounced fuh-fi :P so you see me pronouncing it Fa-FI in my interview...heheheh) at the center of the MAC store.

The makeup and MAC junkies we were tropped down early to the MAC store (before the crowd gets any bigger and look what we found...)

The Fafi Collection.... consisting of fun, bright, bold colors with shiny iconic packaging that's very pop culture, very feminine, and very flirty. Liee and I went to test the samples and absolutely fell in love with them we couldn't decide what to buy! The packaging is just so cute... shiny black pallete with a fafinette embeded. Aside from the makeup, they also sell shorthandled brushes and vinyl makeup bags... c-thru to display all your favorite makeup stuff while displaying the 3 fafi icons. Plus if you love Fafi so much, take home a doll with you (they sell the dolls). We even spotted a little girl where her mommy got her a Fafinette doll (hmmmm... a beauty junkie in the making perhaps?)

Fafi features 2 eyeshadow palletes in bright colors so you can create any color combo to suit your mood and personality. For a glow on the skin, their iridescent powders are available for a lovely glow. You can even use Sassed-Up as a blush! Paint pots are available that you can use alone or as base for eyeshadow. These are highly pigmented eyeshadows in a creme-to-powder formulation. Lurve of Ilurvemakeup recommends Nice Vice for those who absolutely adore purple.

Lipsticks and lipglasses cannot be left out from the fabulousness of Fafi. The colors are so vibrant and fruity, they're cute for just that pop of color on the face. Plus they've got holographic shine. My personal two favorites are Flash-N-Dash, which I got (an intense tangerine red with pink pearl that looks coral) and Fun-N-Sexy, a fuschia pink. And just when you think the pallete is too wild, there is Utterly Frivolous, which can be used for brides. I just absolutely love it I think once I rake in more money I'll troop in to the store and get me another one. :P

I was absolutely happy with my MAC purchase that I wore it right away. It really looks nice on the lips and I got a lot of nice comments too with my lipstick color. I just love it! I couldn't sleep just being so giddy about my new haul! Hee hee hee.

Watch out for my interview with Erica Saenz, MAC makeup artist and trainor as she tells us more about this collection.

And here are the lovely artists of MAC Makati:

It was such a fun event... makeup and more. For those who still want to catch Fafi while it's here, Fafi is available at MAC counters in Rustan's Shangri-La and Marionnaud in Mall of Asia. And if you're reading this today, March 19, 2008, do stop by at the MAC Makati counter for part 2 of this event. :)
