Going goo goo gaga over Fafi

I was overjoyed when MAC sends me a postcard on their spring collection, and this time they surprised us with their collaboration with Fafi. I have been into Fafi ever since I came across the website that showcases her piece of works. I even print out every single drawing of Fafi that I found in the net. I love the sexy, dreamy cheeky vibe in Fafi’s characters. Her use of color is brilliant and what I love the most is the cute hearts painted on their cheeks. It’s funky and girlie at the same time. How could I not get excited when I get to know that MAC Fafi collection will be launched in Malaysia. Although I’m not a big fan of MAC, but approaching the Fafi road show made me all hyped up. I’m amazed by the colorful stage, backdrops, their uniform, the mock up Fafinettes and the real Fafinette girls dancing, smiling to hype up the environment. As for the Fafi collections, they are all lovely. I absolutely love the colors and the packaging. There are sketches of Fafi girls on all the compacts and packaging. I promised myself not to buy anything as I’m on a tight budget, but seeing all these lovelies, I couldn’t help it. I kept on bugging and mumbling until cowcow couldn’t stand me. In the end, being a generous person he bought me an iridescent powder, a powder blusher and a Fafi doll (Ermine). Yippie! There were also stickers given away if you purchase anything from the collections. That day, I went home with a bag of full of fafi-ness!
