MAC's Infamous Stereo Rose

i can't express how excited i am about the In The Groove Collection, it's the most anticipated collection of the year (let alone season). the repromote of the infamous stereo rose msf (mineralized skin finish)! stereo rose as you all know made it's debut in 2005 and has never been repromoted...until now. it's the only coral msf and sells on ebay for approx $100US - yes, i know...you can now purchase it for $33.50CDN! it is however sold out on the mac website but can still be purchased at any mac counter or pro store, but ladies believe me - it will sell out within a couple of hours of launch day (which is tomorrow). wish me luck as i'm hoping to add stereo rose to my collection! (i just heard via a well known canadian guru that the mac counters and pro stores will only have a few stereo rose msf's in stock - yikes!!)

Anna Sui

i've recently discovered anna sui's cosmetic line and absolutely fell in love with the packaging at first sight. her cosmetic line has a delicate rose fragrance that reminds of an over grown, decadent english garden. i was definitely going home empty handed after this discovery so i bought 2 eyeshadows and 1 blush
products i purchased: face color accent 302 $28CDN eye color accent 202 $22CDN eye color accent 600 $22 CDN my thoughts: the black packaging is edgy, stylish and sleek. all eyeshadows and blush comes with an applicator. i normally do not like to use the applicators that come with the packaging, but this blush brush is very nice and works quite well. the payoff is good, the colors are not as pigmented but very buildable. i do recommend using an e/s primer to prolong the life and vibrancy of your e/s.
the formula and texture of the eyeshadow is smooth. eye color 202 (the light lavender) shade is a matte finish and eye color 600 (yellow gold) is a satin finish. face color accent 302 is a lovely shade of pink with gold and pink shimmers. it gives your face an ethereal glow and works for all skin tones.
the anna sui make up line is moderately priced and is considered a luxury line in japan.
would i repurchase - YES!


what are your thoughts about anna sui's make up line?
love it or leave it? share!

Something New

who am i?
hi i'm maddie, a canadian girl who's very passionate about cosmetics and beauty products.

why is my blog called goldfish beauty?
my boyfriend lovingly calls me goldfish as a term of endearment.

why i'm blogging: to share my ideas, passions and love for cosmetics.

the idea: i'm not new to the idea of talking and comparing beauty products with friends and colleagues but new to the concept of blogging about cosmetics. like many of you, i follow well known youtube and blogging beauty gurus and absorb any (and sometimes all) helpful hints, advice, ideas and introduction to new products. i love trying out new products...yes, sometimes there's a few misses but it's a chance i'm willing to take to find the "perfect" product!

my promise: to always be honest in my opinions and to have fun.

thanks for checking out my blog ladies!
