IAMBRIGITTE

I know i'm sort of late in doing a review for this product...but hey, it's better late than never, right!? :) the first time i started reading about MUFE's HD makeup line , i can't stop myself from wishing that i get to have my grubby hands on them. i remember seeing the loose powder and the foundation from MUFE Shangrila, but i ended up getting only the loose powder because i have MAC SFF back then (was still starting with makeup school). i can still remember (almost) harassing the SAs there because they told me that they don't have the price for it yet since the product has just arrived. after a series of calls, they finally let me buy the powder. and yeah, i was STUPID for not buying the foundation too! when reviews started appearing on different blogsites, i just can't stop blaming myself for not getting one. i called MUFE and told me that like the HD powder, the foundation too has been OOS for months. ACCCCK! but an angel might have heard me again....

okay, since i am wearing almost the same shades of eyeshadows lately, i decided to give it a little more "omph." so what's this "omph" i'm talking about? FALSIES! yep...i decided to wear falsies today. i am not really into falsies since my eyes tend to look sleepy whenever i wear them, most especially the full sized ones. good thing, i've found these "XLH" falsies from The Face Shop. I first saw them on Phoebe and it really looked natural. I then bought some, not for personal use, but for my clients. hehehhee..and when i saw how natural and fab their lashes became after the falsies, that's the time i decided to hoard them from the store. it's always OOS, good thing i got to purchase 3...and will buy more next time. The XLH lashes from The Face Shop kinda looks like the MAC HK lashes (IMHO). * thanks to Temptalia.com for the image (they look natural, no?)

nope...i didn't go shopping! how dare you think about that each time i'd mention de-stressing! i am definitely not like that...hmp! LOL nah...i know that's the first thing you'd have on your mind when i would say i wanna go relaxing. but for a change, i went to a facial care clinic last Saturday (Godiva Skin Care station) and had facial and diamond peel. it has been ages since i last had one. also, i tried their pain-free laser hair removal for my underams they call Harmony. Had the first session and i'd be back after 3 wks. it was definitel painless and only took 3o secs for each pit. I wanted to have my legs done too, but wth, it''s so expensivo! i'd probably just stick with the ole shaving way. hehehe.. it really feels good to have your face cleansed, no? and with their Vitamin C after facial, my face surely felt better. i promise that i'll undergo facial and diamond peel once a month! today, after my gig...i went back to Godiva to have my first s...

used: AWG e/s in Innovative MAC e/s in Nocturnelle MAC Penultimate liner in Rapid Black Shiseido Eye Lash primer (yeah, stupid me forgot to apply my mascara LOL) love my lipcolor! RAWR! nope, i didn't wear that to work...hehehe. I just played with my 66-lip color palette from Coastalscents and this blue intrigued me. I had to apply concealer first to neutralize my natural lip color so the blue would really show up. hmmm, i'm getting bored to death so i might probably wear a lipcolor like this one of these days. =)

finally...after months of not seeing these girls, i was able to have fun with them again last March 25 2oo9 for the My Lancome event. when everything else is not doing fine and you're on the verge of a nervous breakdown (okay, i may be exaggerating LOL), what else can be better than being in the company of your girl friends. Jamie and I, came late but we were able to make in just in time for the fashion show. i love their makeup, and of course their dresses...and most especially the wedding dress! too bad Nikki and Keith weren't able to join us for dinner at Ebun where Jamie , Shen and I enjoyed our group's fave Caldereta (i miss Sophie and Ebs ). Jamie had to go to work after, but Shen and I stayed up late for some drinks at Chilis. It was really fun being with these girls again. To Shen, thanks for boosting me up...and making me realize that i can go through all these. (hugs) Til we meet again ladies! at LANCOME, Greenbelt my loots! thanks, LANCOME! more pics here...

weeks ago, i got an email from a reader telling me how good my skin looks...and asked me what products i've been using. of course, i did tell her that it's just makeup...and it's true! my skin is FAAAAR from being great. but i must admit, it has gotten better ever since i went back to OBAGI last January. If my derma's reading this post, she'd surely agree if i say that i am so mean with my skin. i am so lazy to pay her a visit to have regular facials, diamond peels, etc. and i am SO fond of pricking! i'll only drop by her clinic when my skin is really terrible and my face already looks like it has grown out from a bunch of pimples. i also tend to change my skin regimen out of a whim. each time i'd see new products, curiosity would kill me and i'll end up trying them. then, my face will react...and so i'll try another set of new products...and the cycle goes on. I remember my last visit with her last December (yeah, it's been that looonnng!) when ...

i was out this Saturday for a gig...so sad that i wasn't able to attend MAC Hello Kitty's launch at Glorietta (sniff). there was some sort of an event near the hotel where i met with my clients so i really had a hard time getting a cab going to the mall. but you know me...i will never give up! hah! and so after almost 2hrs of waiting for a cab, here's what i got: i love the packaging! Beauty Powder in Pretty Baby Lip conditioner in Popster lipstick in Cutester Grand Duo in Hot Planet (me also want Intenso!) packaging is so cool and stylish! i remember having a lot of HK items way back in Grade school and Highschool..but those are in PINK...and this HK in gorgeous black is for big girls! are you kidding me? i will not have my empty HK containers replaced for a free lipstick! not evah! i also got a free cupcake and bag (woot) the cupcake's so cute that i promised myself not to eat it... i attempted actually... but i stayed strong! and then... i gave in!
