Who says you can't wear makeup at home?  And who dare says you can't sport dark smokey eyes while cooking dinner?? Says who!? Come forth and I'll slit your throat! I'm kidding, of course! ^_^ Here's a look I came up with just because I got so bored looking Au Naturel (totally no makeup on) on most days.  And yeah, I whipped up this look just before I start preparing dinner.

Product Review: Lancome Hypnose Star Waterproof Mascara

Image
Four years ago (geesh, had it already been 4 years!?) I purchased my first mascara from Lancome, the Lancome Oscillation mascara.  It came with an almost Php2k price tag (can't remember exactly) and I must admit, I just got carried away with the good things I've read and heard about it from people who have tried it.  And dang, it was a totally waste of money!  I told myself, "What was I thinking!?"  So yeah. that's a lot of money down the drain.  I think I got so disappointed that I gave it away. If you wanna know why, you can check out my review here . Since then, I stayed away from pricey mascaras. If I can score a cheap mascara that works, why not?  I think the priciest mascara that I've used and liked is the Benefit They're Real mascara. It's Php1600 a tube, pricey but it delivers.  I didn't get disappointed like what happened with Lancome.  I told myself I'm not gonna commit the same mistake again.  Don't get me wrong, I love Lanc...

oh dear, here i go again. my resolution bout my spending habits just went down the drain...tsk tsk. broke, but happy. geesh, i definitely need to look for other ways to make me happy..this habit's killing me. from Watsons: (definitely must avoid passing there before going to the parking area) Green tea, Purederm Acne Facial wash, Strawberry conditioner, Maybelline Mineral Foundation and supplements now, i've promised myself not to go the mall most especially when im down...but what happens when your loving mom volunteered to do the shopping for you? loot from Rustan's and a gift from a friend lot of Lancome GWPs. mom hoards her skincare from Lancome (yep, she's done with La Mer) and they give her loads of GWPs...they make sure to give me too! major haul from SHU: loose powder, UV base, Face Architect foundie, liquid eyeliner, drawing pencil and Chisato cat eye palette cleansing oil GWPs (they are generous too!)

i can hardly remember the last time i bought stuff...well, of course, basic necessities are exempted. i've been trying to avoid going to the mall to stay away from over spending, but i guess i need to de-stress a bit because of that darn accident weeks ago. and oh, an update about it...well my car hasn't been fixed. it hasn't been started yet, and i am really beginning to lose my patience. i am on the verge of just bringing this to court and let that (stupid) guy suffer more. i considered his offer to just let his insurance take care of this. i can use mine, but my premium would go up by next year if i do. and besides, it will only cost him a small amount for the participation fee so i opted to let his insurance pay for the damages. but it has been two weeks and still no positive response from his insurance. i am giving him until Friday (gosh, i am too patient!) to have this taken care of or else...grrr! anyways, here's something to brighten up my day: MAC Sculpt and S...

Product Review: Lancome Oscillation mascara

LANCOME OSCILLATION MASCARA The first vibrating Powermascara by Lancôme 7000 oscillations per minute: Press the button and experience a breakthrough sensation in application. In one easy new gesture, let the vibrating brush combined with an exquisitely smooth formula wrap every lash up to 360°. Instantly see a fascinating gaze: lashes appear ultimately extended, remarkably separated, and virtually multiplied in number. Available in Black (locally), Gunmetal and Metallic Brown (online) i wasn't able to attend the Lancome event that officially launched this product...and i quite regret it for i've heard a lot of good feedbacks about it. I told myself that i'll be getting one as soon as it becomes available here in Manila. and so i did... looking at the wand, you'd wonder how come it looks dry...but i tell you, it isn't! The brush reminds me of one of my mascaras from Cover Girl. the button for that 7000 oscillations per minute This product is truly one of a kind......
