My "Getting Ready for 2013" Looks...

Image
Emerald is the color for the year 2013...and lucky me, it's my birthstone too!  Aside from that, green definitely tops my list when it comes to eyeshadows as it really brings out my brown eyes.     So here's my latest look using greens... I am pretty sure I've done this look before.  Sorry for that, but I just can't get enough of these pretty green eyeshadows from MAC.   (Juxt, Bitter and Humid) And yes, it's the look I wore with two of my most recent hairstyles: Tell me, which of the two hairstyles would you prefer? ^_^ For more ideas using the lovely color for next year, click here . I'm excited for the coming year, are you!? Please like me on Facebook ( IambrigittePage ) and follow me on Twitter ( Iamsutil ) and Instagram (Iambrigitte)

Product Review: Bobbi Brown Eyelash Curler

Image
Don't you hate it whenever your eyelids get pinched because of your eyelash curler?  I've had my share of such moments too!  Fortunately, my constant practice helped. But for those who haven't mastered the art of eyelash curling, here's one eyelash curler who would make you say "Why only now!?" ^_^   Bobbi Brown Eyelash Curler I love that it comes in metallic black, sleek and sosy! perfect size and shape for those with almond-shaped eyes it covers my entire eye, and I don't have to go back to curl the lashes I've missed!  I also love that it doesn't remove some of eyeliner after using it. curls my lashes easily, and the curl stays on my lashes after wiping my eye area with a wet tissue...see how my lashes are still slightly curled And yes, I don't get pinched at all.  No pulling either! It also comes in a black pouch and two replacement pads. ( see here ) The only thing I don...

Something New: Revlon

Image
I totally get excited whenever a favorite brand of mine comes up with new stuff.  And honestly, I always look forward to what's Revlon going to come up with.  I've said it before and I'll say it again, Revlon's one of the best...if not the best, drugstore brand out there.  And just when we thought we've seen the last of their new products, Revlon came up with these new stuff as their last (maybe?) hurrah for 2012: Revlon Age Defying with DNA Advantage powders and concealer, Revlon Colorstay Overtime Lengthening Mascara and Smokey Shadow Sticks. Revlon Age Defying with DNA Advantage Powders Our ultra fine powder helps skin feel conditioned and look luminous, minimizing the appearance of discoloration due to the signs of aging.  This deluxe pressed powder glides on seamlessly and feels lightweight on the skin.  Skin looks smoother, conditioned and it does not settle into fine lines, wrinkles and pores. I love Revlon powders, most especially t...

What's in my SOS Beauty Kit...

Image
I believe that most, if not all beauty bloggers, have already had a "What's in my makeup kit" kind of post.  I already had two ( here and here ) and today, I'll be showing you what's in my newest makeup, I mean SOS beauty kit. ^_^ By the way, SOS is an international code signal of extreme distress, mostly used by the ships at sea.  Now, it's being used whenever someone needs help...and as I've mentioned earlier, I'll be showing you my SOS beauty kit.  SOS because the contents will give you an instant beauty fix. You know, when you just don't have all the time in the world to finish all your beauty rituals. (wink) so what's in this gorgeous SOS beauty/kikay kit? NARS blush in Orgasm, Chanel lipstick in Gabrielle, Maybelline Falsies mascara and of course, the CloseUp White Now toothpaste and an Acca Kappa toothbrush   Nars blush in Orgasm   Considered to be a universally-flattering peachy-pink shade and a favor...

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Image
Hi, my dear readers!  Sorry for not being able to post as much these past few weeks.  I know I already sound like a broken record but, I'll try to make it up to you soon. For now, let me greet everybody a... Very Merry Christmas! of course, my family wants to greet you too! ^_^ (I seriously have no idea what's up with my pose, LoL!) So, what did you do last Christmas Eve?  In my case, I spent it at home with my family. We had our Noche Buena and of course, the opening of the gifts. And for the first time, we had a mini-reunion at home on Christmas Day with my mom's siblings and our cousins.  It was really fun!  Now, I'm looking forward to celebrating New Year because everybody (well, not really..but, almost) will be there.  We'll have videoke, so yeah...I better start practicing my vocals.  (laughs) Again, Merry Christmas to you all! I love you! Please like me on Facebook ( IambrigittePage ) and ...

Product Review: Tarte Clean Slate Flawless Brightening Primer

Image
For someone who doesn't get to sleep for more than 4hrs a day (like me!), having dull skin is a usual thing. But of course, you don't need to suck it up! Here's one product that has been helping me achieve that bright, fresh-looking skin despite the lack of sleep... Tarte Clean Slate Flawless Brightening Primer A waterproof, 12-hour primer helps makeup stay in place longer while brightening skin for a healthy, glowing complexion.    This  hydrating base not only helps keep your makeup in place for up to 12 hours of perfect wear time, it's also a quick fix for tired or sallow skin—just one application gives the appearance of a healthy, youthful complexion. The lightweight texture is ideal for a base under foundation to wake-up your makeup but can also be worn alone as a treatment to counteract dullness. Whichever application you choose, skin is left smooth, feeling hydrated and looking flawless.    It has Vitamins A and E, natural preserv...

Egyptian eyes...

Image
Another quick post on a look I came up with days ago.  Instead of my usual (dramatic) winged liner, I sort of extended the liner on the inner corner of my eyes.  This works wonders if you have round eyes, and wanted to make it look almond-shaped. I wanted to extend it a bit more, and look more like our dear Cleopatra.  But of course, I wouldn't wear that to the office! (laughs)  But who knows, maybe on a (happy) Friday. ^_^ I hope you like it! Please like me on Facebook ( IambrigittePage ) and follow me on Twitter ( Iamsutil ) and Instagram (Iambrigitte)

Fairydrops Volume Burst Mascara  A volumizing waterproof  (for Waterproof Type)  or water resistant  (for Film Type)  mascara; contains Volume Up Powder, Wax and Fiber that provides a strong curl that lasts all day.   W aterproof is also sweat and tear proof, good for marine sports. Film type is water resistant. don't you love the packaging?  ^_^ This mascara has a unique brush, called the "3 Teardrop" wand.   So, what makes it unique?  The 3 teardrop brush catches even the tiniest lashes from the roots and lashes are bitten between the balls and sharp triangular bunches are made. Thick at the bottom of the lashes and sharp at the ends of the lashes= DOLL like lashes!!! I t pushes the lashes up thus, making all-day beautiful curls and without clump. Here's an easy-to-understand illustration on the product's packaging: Let's see if this mascara is really good.  I've been reading a lot of good ...
