Majolica Majorca's Puff de Cheek in Apricot Macaroon

Majolica Majorca Puff de Cheek is inspired by sweet, yummy French macaroons. They are part of the Sugary Trap Collection that was recently released by Majolica Majorca (sub-brand of Shiseido from Japan.

Each Puff de Cheek blush is housed in a tin can packaging that includes a cute powder puff topped with a ribbon.

These macaroon-looking blushers come in 4 pretty shades:
Peach (PK301), Apricot (OR302), Strawberry (PK303) and Vanilla (82)
And because I’m into orange shades of lippies lately, I got myself apricot macaroon. It is the only matte blush in this collection, but it is indeed a refreshing shade of orange.

It looked quite neon on the pan, but actually, the color is buildable, depending on your usage.

Look at the puff with its cute ribbon:
However, I find the puff not useful at all because I prefer using my MAC 168SE brush on application.
How about you, have you found something sweet from the Sugary Trap collection? What item is your favorite?

Barbie Pink Glam Lip Frosting vs. MAC Viva Glam Gaga

I saw this pale pink lip gloss at Watsons and thought that it would be nice dupe to my favorite MAC Viva Glam Gaga.

It's a steal for only PhP99 (about $2)!

So cute and very easy to use with its retractable packaging,

this hottie brings out the "Barbie in me". ;)

Side to side with my MAC Viva Glam Gaga lipstick:

The color pay-off is sheer because it's more of a lip gloss. So you need to swipe a couple of times to make it appear like a lipstick stain.

Final thoughts:

Both MAC Viva Glam Gaga and Barbie Lip Frosting have the same milky pale pink color, but i don't think this Barbie Lip Frosting is an exact dupe. I noticed a hint of peach (very subtle) on the latter's shade, if compared to MAC Viva Glam Gaga.

However, i found that the two is a perfect pair. MAC Viva Glam Gaga glides on smoothly over the Barbie Lip Frosting. Both are nice pale pink lippies perfect for smokey eyed makeup.

Let the swatches speak for themselves:
