![The Style Mermaid by Kisty Mea • MAC Freckletone
MAC Freckletone is a lustre-finish peachy nude. To be honest, I was really hesitant about buying this because the last thing I want was to look even paler. But after a couple of tests, I’ve decided to include it in my Sephora Haul and here’s a reason why: [[MORE]]
This lipstick gives me that peachy orange and/or brown undertones during the first few minutes of application. It was a meh shade but after a while, it becomes a mix of this peachy/pink/nude shade. I instantly went gaga over it.
I’d say it’s a really neat nude color but I personally think it will look even better when combined with lip liner of a darker shade. I don’t use lip liners though, I just tried the tester products in MAC stores. I’m no beauty expert but I think the Freckletone is one of those shades you “must-have” in your lipstick collection. Of course, for the budget conscious, you should check out Rimmel Nude Delight and this NYX Lipstick as dupes.

This is me with my not-very-blonde-blue-red-or-purple messy hair + MAC Freckletone on my lips. My natural curls has a life of its own, so please excuse them.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/fd7bc379774721c178f5d52dccddf390/tumblr_mj1n8umYs71qzpdhzo2_r1_1280.gif)

![The Style Mermaid by Kisty Mea • The Silver Lining
If you’ve seen Silver Linings Playbook already, you might remember this significant quote that Bradley Cooper said to Robert De Niro: “You have to do everything you can and if you stay positive you have a shot at a silver lining.” The quote means that if you stay and remain positive, you can turn your life around. But it’s hard to stay positive when life is full of shit, isn’t it? [[MORE]]
When I moved here, I was really pessimistic about everything. I couldn’t fully adapt to my new-found friends who eat exotic foods (bat and dog meat, anyone?), to the new education system that sucks (really boring PowerPoint lectures) and the fact that everything was going really swell in Manila, then I left… In short, I hated my life. I told myself that everything is going to be alright but I was too miserable to believe my own advice (and who does that anyway?). It was only until the last term of school that I decided to be positive.
Being positive didn’t come to me as instantaneous, it was a process. It took me days, weeks and even months to really change my perspective. When I’m down, I’ll talk to Cariza and JP. Sometimes, I’ll read quotes and articles online to lift my spirits (which I usually tweet) and when I really can’t take it anymore, I’ll cry it all out and sleep it off. It was hard but the more I strive to change my outlook in life, things started to get better. One by one. :)

When you’re feeling low, how do you change your outlook to be positive?](http://25.media.tumblr.com/54c384b27231cfeffc8d2f038d255f43/tumblr_mja5u4JyRU1qzpdhzo1_1280.png)

In case you’re wondering what happened to my previous Instax camera giveaway, I don’t know either. The winner never made a blog entry about it or informed me that she finally got the item. :| So, I’m going to change the rules this time. If you’re chosen to win, you NEED to make a blog entry about the prizes. At least, that way, others won’t think that this giveaway is a hoax.
