I was a little dubious at first, seeing as the press releases showcased really intense looks with more than a few ‘80s hints – I wasn’t sure I could pull any of those looks off. Trying on the products themselves though, was a revelation! Everything is unbelievably wearable and versatile. I am especially impressed with the lipsticks, which are all very lightweight and go on rather sheer while still having amazing longevity. (I love sheer lipsticks by the way, I simply can’t have too many of them – they are my favorite type of lipstick and I am still lamenting the loss of the now discontinued Versace wet lipstick line...) So if you too love a sheer sheen of color on your pucker, go ahead and try the new Fafi lipsticks – they are simply amazing! My personal favorite? Ooh, that’s a hard one, cause if I could, I’d have ordered all of them, but in the end I settled for "High Top", a lovely mauve that glides on the lips to give a dusky finish that is still sheer enough to be worn every day. The new lipglosses, the Fafi Lipglass collection is just as fabulous, with wonderful, long-lasting shine that gives lips a three-dimensional, bee-stung look. Mmm! My favorite is "Cult Fave", which is THE best lipgloss to use when doing a strong-eyes/natural-lip look. Seeing as this is one of my favorite make-up looks, combining sexy sultriness with innocence, I simply never want to have to do without this! As for Fafi products I don’t yet own but am lusting after? I’ll simply have to buy the new Fafi powder blush in “Hipness” – a beautiful blush that gives that marvelous, young and dewy, apricot-y glow I love best with my skin coloring. I’ve been using Dior Flight “Peachy Adventure” up until now, but seeing as it was limited edition and my palette is now almost finished, I am very happy to have found a great product to replace it with. It seems to be very hard to find a good apricot-peachy blush and this came into my attention just in time. Lastly, one of the new Fafi paintpots will also have to be mine come March: “Rollickin’”. I’ve been in love with Kate Hudson’s bold eye-look (click here for a picture) ever since I saw it featured on one of my favorite blogs, Gaia’s Non-Blonde beauty and perfume page. 
The vibrant aqua color of “Rollickin’” will help me recreate this eye-look to perfection. Fragrance Bouquet is completely in love with MAC this spring!So, what do you think about the new MAC Fafi products? And what are you loving right now?
*Special thanks to my friend, Piarella, for letting me try the whole collection!
Love you girl!*

I love sheer lipstick too. I also big lover of the berry stained lips look also. I think I will have to check this out in the future. My go to blush for a nice glow is Benefit's Daisy all over glow blush.
Also feel better soon. I have had a cold the last few days, strangely it hasn't really attacked my nose.
Hi Jen! Thank you so much for the wishes. I mostly feel it on my body, its all achy and even the skin feels ultra sensitive - bleargh. I *love* stain on the lips as well, especially under a sheer nude or sheer pearl lipstick. Do you have any suggestions for a good stain? I've only been using one and I am looking for alternatives.
Dear Divina,
I really hope that you will be feeling better very soon: please take care and rest. The MAC makeup looks tempting and I must investigate next time I'm shopping! As for stain, I like Benefit's Benetint if it's still available - also it's multi purpose! Warmest wishes,
Linda
Thank you so much for the wishes! I feel much better now. Still not 100% but I am good and active again :) I haven't tried any Benefit products - never saw them anywhere here in Holland. I've seen them in Greece though, so I'll give the stain a try next time I'm there. (hopefully during Easter break)
Hi Divina, hope you're feeling better by now. I just wanted to tell you I looooved this post. Love makeup and you write veryu well about it. Want to see more of it if possible. See you!!
