IAMBRIGITTE

like a child with a new toy, i've been playing with my new pigments i got as a gift from a dear friend. I've been lemming on Aromaleigh since last year, but i've been holding back since i have tons of (sample) pigments from different mmu companies. Now that i have AL's Gothic Lolita collection, i am definitely going to get full pots of some that i really like. here's two of my looks using AL pigments...stupid me keeps on forgetting to take pics on some days. (toink) AL Gothic Lolita in Angel Bouquet and Burnt Roses AL Gothic Lolita in Teddy Wisp what i love with mmu pigments, aside from its blendability and staying power, is that you can get away from just wearing a single shade or two and the entire look would still look nice. it would be like you've used a lot of colors for it won't look flat or too simple. i've been reaching out for my mmu pigments on my lazy days. for those who have been sending me requests to do some looks and reviews, please bear...

i've always wanted to get pigment samples from Aromaleigh...but i never got to do so. i dunno why...maybe because i have tons already? but i just can't get enough of mmu e/s...so i told myself i'll get some soon. then i got this from my mail: woot! my good friend, Phoebe , sent these to me. she knows i've been lemming on them for a long time now. isn't she sweet? by the way, she already left for Timbuktu LOL. now, i feel more guilty for not seeing her before she left. i'm the one who's supposed to give her a going-away gift, but i ended up getting one! thanks a lot, P. i'm gonna miss you. We'll gonna miss you...but i'm hoping to see you soon! love yah, girl! some swatches: lovely! i can't wait to come up with some looks using them. thanks again, phoebs!

after weeks of being stressed (still is and worse to come), i decided to visit one of my fave counter...MAC! I haven't bought anything from them for months! and i figured, it would be nice to reward myself with a few stuff from the new collection that arrived (which is not so new anymore, tee-hee) weeee....more eyeshadow brushes! i wanted to get the 165 too, but i'm not really into face brushes. i have a couple of face brushes that i get to use. but i just can't get enough of MAC's e/s brushes. my family of blending brushes (black hair): MAC 224, MAC 226 and NARS my eye brushes (forgot my 252) mom said i have a lot and wonders if i get to use all of them...of course! and i intend to get more :) i also wanted to get the MSFs....hmmm, maybe next payday? tata!

remember my post about what i did one time in the office when i got so bored? finally, after almost a month! my Coastalscents loot! weeee....i love this lip palette! (but i'm still lusting over Bobbi Brown's ultimate lip palette....lol) pan's this small.... ...but pigmented! more gel liners....i want more! wwwwooot! more brushes! i had no idea this foundation brush is this HUGE! reviews to come.... one more package to go...my Illuminare foundation samples! geeesh, i am hoping i won't get bored anytime soon. but Shen sent me a message yesterday and told me that the MAC Redhead Blonde Brunette collection is finally here. dear shen, i actually lied when i told you i'm not interested....lol

hiyeee, ladies. so what did you do on V-day? well, i don't really have a "date" but since 'twas a weekend and my cousin's bday, i just went home to the province. besides, what's the best way to spend V-day (if you don't have any "date") than spending it with your family! i stayed the whole day at home, to catch up with sleep. i've always been sleep deprived during weekdays so i try to make up for it during weekdays. then we attended mass in the early evening and then went to a hotel for dinner. unfortunately, there has been some sort of "conflict" that's why my mom and my sis didn't go with us. i first thought of cancelling our reservations, but the dinner is X's present to my cousin and to us. i went with my tita and my cousin, and met with X's brother and his wife. with Yvette, the birthday celebrant (yeah, her bday falls on Vday!) i am hungry with Chippy, a good friend and owner of Crown Royale Hotel (Balanga C...

LOL now i am beginning to notice....i've been wearing the same shades over and over again! accck...i miss my colorful eye makeup.

so, mom and i went to shop after her operation. i know she was supposed to rest but she said she's fine...but you should've seen her whining about pain right after we finished! hahahah... anyways, here's what i got: i love Angel Locsin, but it wasn't actually the reason why i bought this mag. it's actually because of: Piolo on the back cover! OMG. i love you, Piolo! woot! i am swooning... (people who feel otherwise, please don't start with me! LOL) my first pair of shades! mom insisted that i buy my own. i am not really into shades, and in case i would need to wear one, i borrow hers. LOL. but i think, mom's right. i am so happy with my it! it did cost me moolah, but i definitely want to think it's worth it. what do you think? :) mom got me this pair of Havaianas: and as promised, i got her a pair of CROCS (their newest design) and i finally gave in to my curiosity...i bought one for me, too! i love my CROCS! really comfy...i actually forget i a...
