MAC Sheen Supreme Lipstick in Behave Yourself

My collection of pink lipsticks is now growing with the addition of MAC Sheen Supreme Lipstick in Behave Yourself! 

MAC Sheen Supreme Lipstick in Behave Yourself NT$600 (PhP900)

I bought it in Shin Kong Mitsukoshi, Taipei for only NT$600. I bought two MAC lipsticks that day! The other one is MAC Amplified Cream Lipstick in Morange. Morange is the reason why I went to MAC in the first place. I would discuss about it in another post ; p 

After getting Morange, I spotted a tester of MAC Amplified Cream Lipstick in Chatterbox but it was already sold out... whoa! It will be on my wish list and I plan to get it one day ; p  I was floored when this color was shown to me by the MUA/SA. I really like the glossy finish plus I don't even need to apply lip balm prior to lipstick application. 

Tiffa Body Butter from Kanebo

I love scented body butter! When I went to Taipei last December 2010, I didn't leave the country without buying one. A Watson branch is just a few minute walk away from where we were staying. I would sneak in and take a peek at what is in store almost every single day every other day.  The store has many make up collections on display. I found Tiffa under Kanebo brand of make up. I was supposed to buy only only a few Kate My Color Pencil- a retractable eyeliner but ended up buying a Tiffa Body Butter as well.

 Tiffa Body Butter 50g NTD180

From Kanebo's Tiffa line, this rose scented body butter is a great moisturizer. It contains Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil, Rosa Centifolia Flower Water and Rosa Gallica Flower Extract.

Taiwan Chronicle: Maokong Gondola

My visit: December 30, 2010

Maokong Gondola

Eyes of Maokong

Taipei Zoo Station (Muzha Line)

Taiwan

In Hong Kong, there's Ngong Ping 360. In Taiwan, it's Maokong Gondola. The difference lies in the crystal cabins.

inside Maokong Gondola

We have to take a queueing number on the left side of the entrance to be able to access the Eyes of Maokong Gondola. We got two tickets for 12:15 to 12:30pm embarking time. We have 30 minutes to spare so we ate at the nearby Mc Donald's, the only fast food court available.

Taiwan Chronicle: Shilin Night Market

Shilin Night Market

Jiantan Exit Red Line

Taipei, Taiwan

One of the most crowded if not the most popular night market in Taipei! The area is known not only as a shopping haven but also food haven as well. So, if you think that spending time eating in Danshui during the day will stop us from craving Taipei food, think again.

In my previous post, I shared about my hidden talent- eating while walking ; p It was a maze going in and out of the side streets, sampling almost all the food that can be bought lol Of course, a little bit of shopping was included.

DAY 3

Sulfur Spring Hot Bath

Danshui Harbor

Shilin Night Market

Danshui is like the San Miguel By The Bay of Taipei! I love this place. I have to go back every time I visit Taipei.

And you thought that I am through with the day because I had the most relaxing bath ever... nope! I am not yet done. Feeling energized, we went straight to Danshui! We miss the food lol

Taiwan Chronicle: Taipei 101

DAY 2

The Lin Family Mansion and Garden

Ximen Station

Taipei 101

Jogoya

Taipei 101

I just took a shot of the tallest building in the world, Taipei 101. I have been in there several times so there is no point in going again this year. But I have to give you a glimpse of what Taipei 101 looks like at night. Beautiful, isn't it?

Why I love Taipei: Pedestrian lane

Taipei pedestrian lane taken in Taipei Zoo

See the distance of the pedestrian lane from the cars? It's huge! That was why I was able to survive a month in Taipei without a companion. I could easily cross the street without fear of endangering myself. The cars stop when the stop light turns red and the walking sign turns green. The walking sign has a number signal of how long you can cross the street.
