my wish has been granted!

everybody has been asking me what X gave me on my birthday. honestly, i didn't intend to ask him anything since he'd been so generous with my wishes since last year. he got me a video cam, bluetooth headset and speakers for my car and a camera. days before my birthday, he told me he wanted to give me something i can use for my makeup gigs...an airbrush equipment. i wasn't too excited since i haven't been accepting gigs due to my busy work sched. he might have noticed my lack of interest so he asked me what i would really want to get. X: tell me, what do you want me to give you on your birthday? Me: hmmm, a new phone? X: you mean, an iPhone? Me: (hesitates) umm, yeah? X: for someone who gets bored and changes her cellphone every 3months, it's not practical. Me: Okay. so with a heavy heart (LOL!), i accepted the fact that i won't be getting an iPhone. so imagine my surprise when he called me past midnight (they are 4hrs behind) to ask me what color I wan...

Product Review: The Face Shop Extreme Brush Pen Eyeliner

Image
Extreme Brush Pen Eyeliner (01 Black Force) Easy to control fine point brush lets you draw an even, flawlessly clean line without tugging, skipping or scratching. Delivers the most intense color to define your eyes No more tears formula with glucose mimics natural tears to minimize irritation Smudge-free formula does not leave pigment residue after cleansing. Washes easily with tepid water what i love: super (duper) easy to use...the easiest liner pen I've used so far! liquid doesn't dry up easily in the pen. i've had other pen liners that dried up in a matter of weeks. this one doesn't! i've been using mine for almost a month and it still feels brand new. no tugging washes off easily what i love the most is how i can use its tip to correct any mistakes when i am using my other liners...or when i'm using a pencil liner and some of it sticks to my curler, i then use this to cover up those areas where my liner got removed what i hate: not waterproof. well, it ...

every year, i would dread my birthday. if given a choice, i'd sleep on it and just wake up the day after. hmm, and i must confess, i'd feel a bit depressed whenever my birthday is just around the corner. i guess i hate getting old, huh! what greeted me when i came in the office (after an hour and a half being late, hehehe): at that point, i told myself...getting old isn't bad! people greeted me as soon as i came in the office...and my phone's beeping non-stop, even getting calls abroad just to greet me. at that point, i want to give myself a hard poke in the head for hating this day...the day when people would treat me extra special =) gifts i got: left: from my ever thoughtful mother-in-law..she even threw in a box of yummy chocolates! right: from Mina, my officemate's wife who i met during our recent trip a mango top and banoffee pie from Lui. there's also my favorite peanut butter sandwich from Weng a cake and a drawing of me. my colleagues say i loo...

Lemming: Eyliplex - 2

Image
my search for an eyecream that would give me impressive (and dramatic) results continues. i know i have blogged about my HG eyecream some time ago, but like most women, there are some things i just can't get enough of. on one of my recent visits to (ever reliable) Watsons, i came across this: it comes from the same company which brought us Triaktiline. at first, i was wondering why come up with a new one if the previous works wonders as what they claim? mom bought herself a tube of Triaktiline and wanted to ask her how is it working for her. but knowing her, she gets confused as to what product actually works since she's using TONS of skin care products. so yeah, she's not the best person to ask. LOL! i must admit, i am so curious about this product. having a 4-hr sleep at the most is taking its toll on me, most especially on my already tired (and baggy) eyes. i am in a bad need of a good eye cream. priced at Php2600, this ain't cheap. if you have this, or knows a...

Product Review: Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Complete UV Waterlight Lotion

Image
I hate the sun. If possible, I'd stay indoors all day...probably all my life, just to stay away from the sunspots and freckles that most of us would dread to have. But of course, that isn't possible. I have to go to work everyday and no matter how hard i try, there will always be an excuse for me to go out during weekends. And since it's summer, there are lots of invites to outings that I just can't say NO to. Besides, I can't hide from the sun all the time...can I? I can't remember when I first started using sunblocks for my body. With a vain mom like mine, I probably started early..hahaha. Back then, I'd apply the same sunblock on my face and body...not minding how sticky it is and how oily my face would look after some time. But when I started putting on makeup, I just know I had to get something that's made specifically for the face. We need something that is lightweight, not sticky and if it's not too much to ask, something that won...
