A few examples...
Lipsticks - £11 to £12
Lipglasses - £10.25 to £11.50
Eyeshadows - £9.75 to £11
Blush - £14 to £16
DAZZLEGLASS - £12 to £14 -- what I think is the most ridiculous of all! A lot less product than a normal lipglass!
I noticed a few days ago that MAC COSMETICS in the UK have increased their prices AGAIN (they already have sometime earlier this year)! I must say this was totally unexpected, and this leaves me a bit gutted.
I have been letting off getting a few products for ages, since I always thought I could get them later anyway - especially the ones in the permanent line. I've also been looking forward to the possibilities of getting stuff from the Color Craft line, which wasn't available until AFTER the increase!
I must say this is really ridiculous. MAC Cosmetics UK prices are a bit high already, eg. compared to MAC Cosmetics in the US, but why do they further increase their prices when MAC USA doesn't?
I really don't get it... Do they expect people to spend more on cosmetics in this time of crisis? But no... that's not the only possible outcome of this move.
This price increase has slapped me awake to reality that MAC IS an expensive brand. Although I do love it and their products have amazing quality, I still can't deny that fact. I realize I've been spending much money on what is JUST makeup, so hopefully this price increase will deter me from making more purchases, and encourage me to SHOP MY STASH! That way I can save more money for the more important things later on, and still be able to create looks my goodies won't go neglected. I hope other people would see it that way too. =)
... either that or I buy my MAC elsewhere instead of MAC UK like in the US, or get them from the Duty Free shops. :)

B Never Too Busy To Be Beautiful BOBO Lip Gloss.
On a side note... in Tagalog (main Filipino language), Bobo means dumb. So it always makes me giggle every time I think of that translation for this gloss's name lol. :P
B Never Too Busy To Be Beautiful lip gloss in Bobo
B's Bobo lip gloss is my first product from B, Lush's sister company that specialises in cosmetics and perfumerie, as opposed to Lush's toiletries and skin care. My BF helped me pick out this colour, in an attempt to help me venture out from the MAC world. And I don't regret it one bit.
First of all, the packaging is just amazing! So pretty. See more photos:
It was wrapped like so...
And placed in this little bag...
B's Bobo lipgloss is a beautiful shade of fuchsia pink with blue and silver glitters. It applies sheer so its easy to layer. It also goes on smoothly and makes your lips feel so soft and smooth without being sticky, and it also has that faint rose scent.
This product is long-wearing and stains your lips.
B's Bobo lipgloss vs. MAC Girl About Town lipstick:
One thing to note is an earlier expiry date of the products compared to other cosmetics, but this is because the company claims that they use as much natural products as possible. This makes their products less likely to cause allergies.
B Never Too Busy To Be Beautiful products are suitable for vegans, and the company is also against animal testing (although they do have human volunteers to test the products - which I always found weird). Although these points are definitely good things.
B's company also states:
"B NEVER TOO BUSY TO BE BEAUTIFUL feel that not only is the testing of cosmetic products and ingredients on animals unnecessary and unethical, but it is also scientifically unreliable, unable to adequately access the safety or efficiency of a product or ingredient, and may even allow unsafe products onto the market. We prefer to know that our products are safe for the humans that are going to be using them, so all of our products go through a rigorous assessment, and human trials using our panel of volunteer human testers. We prefer to use only natural ingredients with a proven record of safe use, and where we have to use synthetic ingredients or colour pigments we again use only those with a long and proven record of safe use."
So it all sounds good!
Do you own any products from B? What do you think of their products? ♥
I finally reached my hometown, Davao City, and was reunited with my family again. It's good to be back! I missed them so much.
I also got the goodies my dad got me from America, and I'd like to share what I got with you! I took a few pics of some individual products. Here they are:
MAC Summer Rose bpb from A Rose Romance collection
MAC Way to Love lipstick also from A Rose Romance
2 shades of Neutrogena Healthy Skin Enhancer - I just love this stuff. So lightweight with SPF30!
Colorescience Sunforgettable SPF 20 Brush Perfectly Clear - I've never tried this before but my mom got it for me. Have any of you tried it?
