Backlog kung backlog but I just wanna say two months ago, I finally gave in and bought myself my first MAC lipstick. Hurrah!

I don't know about you but for me, there is something sentimental about buying my first MAC lipstick. Not only do I not really wear loud colors on my lips but it was bought with my own hard-earned cash. It costs a thousand bucks! I think that alone deserves a moment of silence. Heh.

Refills are priced at Php1950 in Rustan's. It comes with a sponge. Case sold separately.

I've been using this Clinique powder foundation, Clinique Derma White Bright C Powder Foundation, from the Derma White line for 3 years now so when I browsed the Clinique website, I panicked when I didn't see it listed under powder foundations. Trying to calm myself, I entered Derma White on the search bar to see if the other products under the same range were still available. They were not. I immediately thought, "OMG! They discontinued the entire line???"

Didn't bother to clean it before taking a photo haha.

You see, I've been scrimping the last of my current foundie, wherein not only have the tin can surfaced, but is edges away from being gonezo, lest it cracks first. Yup, that happened before and I still used it until I bought a new one. (Read: Ang mahal, dapat sinusulit)

So I texted the trusty Clinique number that has been sending me promo updates in Rustan's Makati and got a prompt reply "We still have it in our counter, mam!"

I'm still thinking if I should wait it out or buy right away so I'll have a backup in case this one breaks. As to whether the Derma White line is indeed discontinued, I shall find out when I go the the Clinique counter at Rustan's.
