i felt deprived after not being able to use my palette right away that now that i finally have it, i've been reaching out to it almost everyday :) i love most, nope...i mean all of the colors and they are like screaming my name whenever i am choosing what color to use for an EOTD. geesh, now i am hearing things! anyways, here's my first eotd using my new palette: PAC brow kit UDPP UD e/s in Mushroom and Jabberwocky MAC Penultimate liner UD 24/7 liner in Zero Shiseido MM lash expander Laura Mercier primer MAC SF liquid in NC25 Cinemasecrets concealer MAC blush in Pretty Baby Shu Uemura matte loose powder MAC l/s in Peachstock Maybelline lipgloss confused look shhleepy look and yeah, this palette is my fave at this time!

this post is loooongg overdue...sniff. but hey, like what they say "It's better late, than never!" my long-awaited palette arrived February 11, just in time for my sister's prom (and so i thought). i was so excited to bring it home to the province so i can use it for sam's makeup... but there has been a not so minor problem: yeah, the mirror is broken...full story here . i must admit, i was so frustrated that i wanted to cry. if i return it and have my money refunded, it would take me ages to get another one...if i just keep it as it is, well...the mirror's broken and it's bad luck. but bad luck or not, i paid for the palette and i deserve to get what i paid for. good thing, the seller met up with me and replaced the damaged palette. YEY! oh, Alice...i thought i'd lose you! purtyyy! 16 yummy colors most of the shades are already present in Vol I and Vol II, but i don't care...not because i don't have vol 2 but because this is limited, baby...

i tried some ELF brushes before, found them to be scratchy and not being able to distribute the pigments very well...in short, i didn't like them at all. there were some products that i did like..but their brushes, a big No. until this: This new anti bacterial, synthetic haired Taklon brush is softer and more absorbent and can be used with wet or dry products. Be a professional makeup artist and create a flawless look with this e.l.f. studio brush! Creates a professional sculpted look Full coverage color Use for powder or blush for perfect contouring Vegan Friendly (photo and product blurb taken from their site ) i didn't know this brush even exists. i've been seeing a lot of posts about their Studio line makeup and brushes but never really checked into it. A friend sent me this brush on one of our swaps, and she did tell me that this is one good brush. I washed it immediately, but hesitated using it for quite sometime. Until one day, that i need a brush to buff my powder ...

the best things in life are free...don't you think so too? just text 10DAYS to 2600 , and this is what you'll get: Sunsilk Damage Repair gift pack! Shampoo and Conditioner too bad, the package doesn't include the serum...which i am loving right now! serum i've been using this repair line from Sunsilk for quite a while now and i am loving it to bits. since i've grown my hair long, i've been blowdrying it everyday and the heat (not to mention, my constant hair coloring) has finally taking its toll. i've been looking for a line that isn't too expensive and i saw this during one of my visits at Watsons...surprisingly, it really works! people have been commenting that my hair looks healthier now...yey! so when i saw this free give away info somewhere (can't remember where, gah!) i didn't think twice and immediately sent the SMS. well, i was running out of supply and to get them for free definitely won't hurt :) i got a call days after and the...
