IAMBRIGITTE

Earlier this week, i got a message from my Aunt that i have a package. I was surprised to know that it's from Elegant Minerals because i just got an email that my items have been shipped less than a week ago! Wow, that was fast! So today, when my mom and sis came over, they gave me my package: i got myself a sample kit of their Light and Medium foundation shades, a couple of eyeshadow samplers, setting powder, blushes , concealers and their clay mask. I bought this loot online when they had their 50% off sale weeks ago. My total order is $25, so after the promo it was $12.50 but after adding the shipping of $12...i still ended up with almost the same price before i availed of their promo. Wahahaha... Anyways, i love their packaging. the samples come in sealed 5g pots...they seem so meticulous in their packaging...and i love their customer service too! Mid this week, i got some items from a friend who sells Shiseido eyeshadows...I love the colors, and i just can't resist g...

so i was absent yesterday because of the irritation on my undereyes....after resting for a day, i'm back to applying eye makeup. (grins) this time, i opted to go for a not-so-loud eye makeup...just so it wont be too obvious that i am wearing makeup despite the irritation hhehehe.... used: Modelco Brow kit in Dark, UDPP, Meow Ideal Eyes in Kept Kitty on the entire lid and on the lower lash lines, Meow Modern Eyes in Tomcat applied on the contour of the eye up to just above the crease, Meow Modern Eyes in Dr. ZhiCATo applied under the browbones, Fasio 3D Mascara in Brown and Shu Uemura pro concealer topped with OM Saffron concealer on the undereyes used: Smashbox Photofinish Light primer, Dreamworld foundation in Freyja then topped with Dreamworld toppings in Butter Creme, Cargo Blush in Molokai and Revlon Lustrous Lipstick in Pink in the Afternoon topped with Mac Gellee in Dewy Jube. I know i didn't blend well the colors on my eyes...they're not even! and i think this is one...

Thanks Shen for tagging me! :) Anyways, here's my top 5 (heheh coz i have lots!) beauty crimes: 1. I prick my pimples. Ewwww, i know. But i just can't seem to stand seeing a pimple on my face...most especially those big, red ones. I prick them, either by the use of my fingers (tskk..bad bad) or by a pricking tool and then i apply clindamycin after. Sometimes, it helps but most of the time i end up with nasty scars. Waaahhh 2. I smoke. Well, i used to because i stopped before the Holy Week and i've been sticking to that promise it until now. I am not a chain-smoker or something like that but i don't really see any reason i should smoke except when i'm out with friends and everybody else is smoking and i'm not. I have this lame excuse that i would rather die smoking than die by second-hand smoking. Tee-hee... 3. I don't stick to my skin regimen (uh-oh i wish my derma isn't reading this). I am fond of experimenting stuffs on my face especiall...

despite my derma's advice of resting my face, specifically my eye area, from makeup and being a sutil (hard-headed) biatch, i still wore makeup yesterday. result: i'm absent from work today. (grins) nahh...i'm just being lazy, that's all! (thunder) okay, okay...my undereyes are all sore today and itching like crazy. So i was advised to take some medicines and apply a topical cream under my eyes. And well, the medicine made me feel more lazy than i already am so i decided to just stay at home :P anyways, here's my EOTN yesterday wearing another HG-material when it comes to eyeshadows...and oh, on foundations too! used: Smashbox Brow kit in Dark, UDPP, Soft Fuschia e/s topped with Multipurpose Chameleon on the entire lid just above the crease, Twilight Green e/s on the outer-V and on the crease, Halo under the browbones topped with Multipurpose Chameleon, L'oreal Lash Architect mascara in Black and Shu Uemura pro concealer topped with OM Saffron concealer on the u...

as promised, here's a pic of what i use as my brush holder: hehhe... It was September last year when we went to Enchanted Kingdom so i would stop from throwing tantrums. i was complaining that he no longer takes me out on a date back then so one Sunday afternoon, he skipped his part-time job just to bring me to EK. It was taken inside the... (damn, i forgot LOLz) and we thought it's a nice shot so we had it printed on a cup. I didnt want to use it for drinking...but i was able to find a good use for it (grins) this way, i would still be thinking of him even though i'm putting my makeup on...

i feel like everything else is just so against me today so i decided to go home early. I dropped by a convenience store to get myself some stuffs and food for breakfast. I dunno if i am really going to post this mini loot of mine (that is, if i can call it a loot!)...but i just miss posting pics of my hauls and i've been on vacation last week and i haven't been ordering stuffs online and i am not yet getting my packages...(whew!) anyways...hehehe, here's my loot: some facial cotton (i have lots of this and yet i got myself another one..toink!), physiogel cream (for my uber dry undereyes...i can't put eyecream yet but i am itching to death because of dryness so i need something to moisturize it), L'oreal whitening toner (im running out of my Neutrogena Fine Fairness toner...yep, im jumping off to another brand...hehehhe), my HG makeup remover Nivea Cleansing Milk and Lyna Medicated Cream (hehehe, i just read Anne's post and i suddenly got curious so i told myself...

Arrrghh, after almost a week of vacation i am now back to work. Wahhh...I wish i can stay on vacation longer. Hmm, but i would miss putting makeup on since I don't wear anything at all (except for sunblock) when i'm in the province. Yep, i am trying to rest my face from makeup if i'm on vacation. So the only thing i'm excited about getting back to work is finally being able to wear makeup again. Though i was advised not to wear makeup yet, since i have developed some rashes on my undereyes. I dunno why, i just woke up with the urge to rub my undereyes that when i look at myself in the mirror i saw some small red bumps...waaaahh! And my skin there feels so dry. I wonder what's the culprit this time. Oh well...i just hope that my derma friend isn't going to read my blog today. hehehe.. used: Modelco Brow kit in Dark, UDPP all over lid, TM eye pigment in Twinkle on the inner half of the lid, TM eye pigment in Touche on the outer half of the lid, MAC e/s in Modest ...

a year or maybe more than a year ago, i remember just having one makeup brush. yep, just one...and that would be a blush brush i bought from one of our trusty department stores here in PI (Landmark). I just can't remember the exact brand name, but for sure it's not from a known brand...but back then, i don't really care if it's a good brush or what...as long as it does the job for me, it's good enough for me. i don't really wear eye makeup back then as well, and if i do, i make use of the sponge applicators that go with the kit...or just use my fingers to apply, and blend (as if i already know what this term means...lol). 2006 was the year when i started getting addicted to makeup...be it MMU or non-MMU. It was also the time when i started collecting brushes, mostly face brushes for foundation and blushes...if memory serves me right, i think i have like 3-4 brushes at that time. now, when i look at my makeup brushes, i can't help but grin because my collecti...
