Price: Php950.00 i told you, i got excited when i saw this at Skinfood at Rustan's. i wanted to get the entire line but i just purchased another skincare line from another brand, so i decided to let it go (for now...LOL). but of course, stubborn me won't leave the counter without getting anything...at least the one that i can afford at this time, so i got the concealer in shade #2: what i love: consistency is creamy and easy to blend no weird smell shade #2 is my exact shade for my undereyes. tried to get the lighter shade, but now i'm sure i'd look funny had i insisted on getting it. LOL no irritations doesn't cake...

Lemming: Skinfood's Salmon Eye care line

Image
do you love salmon? well, i do! in fact, i can finish a whole lot of salmon sashimi at any japanese resto! while others get all freaked out just by the thought of eating raw fish, i get excited :) then i learned that salmon actually helps in diminishing those darn undereye circles that most of us have. shucks, had i known this earlier...i would've make sure to include salmon in my diet everyday. LOL! yep, salmon aids in getting rid of those pesky dark eye circles. and since most, if not all of us, can't include salmon in our everyday diet, SKINFOOD released their salmon eye care line to make sure that people get their daily dose of salmon everyday.

my MAC Colourcraft collection (micro) haul...

Image
so here's my mini haul last weekend from MAC's Colourcraft collection: MSF in Smooth Merge, MES in Fashion Patch and Eccentricity and MAC 109 Eccentricity MES Fashion Patch MES Smooth Merge MSF i seriously wanted to get more MES, the Warm Blend and Porcelain Pink MSFs and some blushes but i need to hold myself back. i still have stuff left unused but i just can't forego this collection...i waited for this collection because of the 109 and 131 brushes, unfortunately, i only got the 109. i also wanted to get the Madly Creative l/s but it's already sold out. argh! so what's my initial say on the products? i love the 2 MES i got...was able to use the Eccentricity and i love, love the colors! the shimmers are kinda loose (?) so i had to spray my brush with Fix+ so it would stay put and minimize the fall out on my cheeks. the color payoff is good, and despite some reviews that it's hard to blend, i found it to be otherwise. the MSF, i haven't been able to use ...

a great weekend...

Image
and so what's the best way to de-stress during the weekend? what else...but to go shopping! and just in time, my fave MA from MAC texted me and told me that Colourcraft has come! geeez...his text made my heart jump for i've been wanting to get my hands on this beautiful collection. but i still need to save, so i set my mind on getting two of the brushes, and some e/s and MSF. i planned on bringing baby MAC to the mall, but sort of scared that they won't allow me to bring him in. good thing Jamie offered to take care of MAC while i go to MAC (LOL)..but fortunately, we were able to sneak him in! so to MAC we went, and here's what greeted us: Colour Craft is LOVEEEE! and here's me with my fave MA, Jarwin: i got some stuff from the collection, but was really hoping i can get all...sniff after a visit at the MAC counter, we went to Lucy Brittanico to get a haircut. it's been 7mos since my last one and i just want to get a trim for i'm planning to have my hair cur...

Playing with Makeup: MAC Colour Craft

Image
when the Colour Craft collection was launched here in the Phils last weekend and saw the MAs wearing the look, i thought "theirs look pale, as compared to the official photos from MAC..maybe it would be better to use my Ben Nye pallette should i decide to re-create the look." and so when i got home, i took out my Ben Nye palette and again played with makeup. so here's another pathetic attempt on re-creating a MAC look: too bad, i don't have that much accessories to use: and to prove that i wasn't naked in these pics: LOL! and yesterday, Shen gave me a link from Temptalia's site about the MUA using Ben Nye for this collection's photoshoot. i was like "WHOA!" oh well, MAC or Ben Nye..i still love the look they were able to come up with...and of course, the collection! til next time!
