just want to share another fab find during my recent trip at Watsons: Wet n Wild palette in Knock on Wood aside from the colors, what caught my eye are the labeling: and at the back of the packaging: it's like you are getting some sort of tutorial on how and where to apply the colors in this palette. cool, huh!?

we all love taking some time off to pamper ourselves, right? we go to the derma, spa, nail or hair salons whenever we feel like we need to take a break and give ourselves a bit of TLC we deserve. if only we have more time to do so, i bet nobody will ever get or look stressed ever again! but of course, we don't have as much time as we want to but thanks to DIY stuff for almost anything, we can do our pampering sessions right in the comfort of our home! a month ago, i got some stuff from Purederm as gifts. i've always loved their products, most especially their wet facial tissues for acne-prone skin. when i got the items, i was just too excited to use this mask as i was already feeling all stressed and my skin already looks dull.

i've always wanted to get curls...now, i finally got them: then they went nadah in less than an hour! yeah, i was just playing with my curling iron.. but i really wish to get them, soon!

Lately, I am having trouble keeping my eye makeup stay put for hours. I dunno, maybe my lids just got oilier or my HG eyeshadow primer's just stopped working fine on me. I would apply eye makeup in the morning, and find creasing and fading at midday. Because of this, i stopped using darker shades of eyeshadows and tried to get away with beige as lidwash and liner on most days. Just when i thought it's the end of my colorful EOTDs, this new stuff from NYX HD line proved out to be my savior: NYX HD Eyeshadow Base Even out skin tone and smooth out lines. Perfect prep for true color and long lasting eyeshadow Be camera-ready in an instant! wand is like that of UDPP's soft shade of beige that evens out skin tone on the lids with primer on the left, without primer on the right compared to UDPP, this one has a lighter consistency. it applies and blends easily and keeps eye makeup for hours. with its soft beige shade, you can use this alone as it really evens out skin tone. w...

Rescue Beauty Lounge polish in Mismas a lovely violet shade, don't you think? reminds me of "Ube Halaya" during Christmas time here in PH. ^_^ I got invited to a spa party last week and Sol let me use this. I immediately fell inlove with the color: lively, fresh and can i just say, makes me hungry? LOL! too bad this shade has been discontinued already...ack, how could this be!? sorry for the already-chipped polish, i just really want to show you how lovely this color is. hmmm, can we contact RBL and ask them to put this back? can we!?

it's true when they say "when it rains, it pours.." only this time, we are being showered with good (and beautiful) new stuff from NYX Cosmetics. we all know about HD makeup...it's makeup that is made of superfine, micronized pigments that allow people to achieve a flawless, almost airbrushed look. in front of HD cameras, the slightest amount of imperfections can be seen if makeup of inferior quality are used. so having said that, if we can use everything HD..we will, right!? the first HD blush that i came across with was that of CARGO (which i still have, and still love)..so when Sol told me about that the new HD line from NYX has blush, i was just too excited.

Purederm 3-in-1 Magic BB Cream Moisturizes and protects stressed skin With SPF30 PA++, it blocks out UVA and UVB rays from the sun It's waterproof feature makes sure that the 3-in-1 attributes remain against water and sweat Enriched with natural and herbal tea extracts increases skin elasticity and improves skin conditioning whenever my skin becomes problematic (be it due to stress, or too much experimenting on skincare), i always turn to BB creams. i've always considered these creams as "medicated" foundations that can provide medium to even heavy coverage for skins that can no longer keep up with the harsh ingredients of other traditional foundations. whenever i have a bb cream on, it makes me feel that i am somehow letting my skin heal. i've tried a lot of brands already, and i can only name a few that i liked. though some have promising healing ingredients, they either make me look too pink or grayish. also, some fail to give me the coverage that i need. ...
