Early Christmas Gifts...

Image
It's 19 days before Christmas and yet, everyday's becoming more like Christmas morning!   Thanks to our friends from Beauty Box Corp . and Bobbi Brown for these awesome gifts:  from Beauty Box Corp.: K-Palette 1 Day Lash Perm Mascara I've been reading a lot of raves about this, and I'm glad I was given a chance to try it myself! Oh yes, more mascaras!  This time, Fairydrops Volume Burst Mascaras .   I only have a pair of eyes, but na-ah, I am not gonna get enough of mascaras! ^_^ K-Palette Eyeliner in a super sharp felt tip!  And of course, the Fairydrops Candy Bar BB Cream .  I am leaning more into BB creams these days, and this one's got me all excited.  I had to set aside my Laneige Cushion BB for a while so I can roadtest this baby! And from Bobbi Brown: Black Pearl eyeshadow palette Their palettes never fail to amaze me! Eyeshadow curler So I guess it's t...

a birthday wish came true...

Image
remember my birthday wish list last month? fortunately, one of them came true! my new toy: my cool 32GB WIFI + 3G Ipad 2 had to make sure it won't get scratched! i bought a pink Smartcover for it but I can't stand not having a back cover when it's attached, so I opted for a screen protector and a jelly-type back cover (OC much?) i got it days before my birthday. actually, on the very same day it was launched here in Phils! and this I got after my birthday, to supposedly match my Ipad that comes with the pink Smartcover: oh yeah, i don't love PINK! i almost got myself that Oakley shades, but unfortunately they don't have the color i want. whew! i love my new toy. if only i had been more vocal, i think i should've gotten that MBP instead! but there's still Christmas anyway ^_^

it's the time of the year again...

Image
no, it's not Christmas....but my birthday! this year i'll be officially out of the calendar...yes, i'm turning 32. but acts like as if i'm still in highschool ^_^ like the previous years, i'm posting my wishlist. not that i'm really hoping that i'll get them all, coz it's not possible. let's just say i'm dreaming (and wishing, praying) that i'll get at least one in my wishlist.... Guess bag more MAC makeup/brushes Melissa Shoes: Oakley Unfaithful Ipad 2 Mac Book Pro 13" whew... it's a week to go before my birthday, so you still have time to get me a gift! LOL! Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me...la la la lala.

Majolica Majorca - making all women beautiful...

Image
my first encounter with Majolica Majorca was 2yrs ago when I got myself one of their most raved product, Lash Expander Frame Plus which is still one of my fave mascaras to date. I bought 3 tubes last year just to make sure that I won't run out of it since MM is not locally available...yet. when i heard that Majolica Majorca will become available here, i just got so excited for they offer a lot of items that are of HG-material. Being a subsidiary brand of Shiseido, which my Mom and I love since time immemorial, MM is a lot more affordable for women of all ages. Their packaging is just too cute and i'm sure everyone would like an item or two, if not all, from this brand. when I got this gift from MM weeks ago, I just know I'm in for a big and pretty surprise: i always associate the color PINK to anything girly and pretty...and this box did prove me right: it honestly took me a while before i finally stopped staring at these babies in the box Skin Remaker Pore Cover SPF18 in...

Gift: Bobbi Brown's Beauty Rules

Image
X's Valentines gift this year: Bobbi Brown's Beauty Rules palette the palette consists of: 3 lip glosses, 2 pot rouge, 4 eyeshadows and a jet creamy eye pencil i love that it's travel-friendly, and the packaging that looks like an organizer on to the swatches: Ivory, Lightning, Orchid and Eclipse Baby Pink and Homecoming pot rouges Airkiss, Rum lipglosses and Crystal Gold glitter lip balm Jet Creamy eye pencil in Black it really surprises me how X knows just what to get me. he'd been giving me gifts like clothes, bag and makeup..he even buys clothes for my mom, aunt and sister. he knows their sizes as well! sometimes i would tell him that maybe he's becoming gay already. i love this palette, and this will surely be included in my bag whenever i'd go traveling. the pigmentation are just right and the colors are well coordinated for a day to night look. i just realized that he didn't send me flowers this Valentines. when i told him that, he said that he kn...

my wish has been granted!

Image
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...

the story behind the V-day cakes...

Image
(...another late post) LOL! (i bet you know who salvaged this poor, cute cake) yeah, 3 cakes from X last V-day. actually, it's 5...the other two are marked "Very" and "Much." But because of confusion, we thought we have 1 cake each (i was in the province for last V-day and we are 5 in the house). X's brother delivered them and didn't say anything...so we had no idea. and stupid us didn't even check them one by one so we didn't know they are labeled! hahahaah! i got the one labeled "Love" and salvaged it but didn't finish...we ended up eating the other two. so i was surprised when X asked for a picture, and i sent the one labeled LOVE. He asked where's the other 4...and i said "they are not mine, so why would i take pictures of their cakes!" LOL he even called his brother to confirm if he had the cakes labeled differently and well, okay..it's our fault! i honestly felt bad about it...and called mom. she also...

But it's nothing that a makeup loot won't be able to fix. Sol sent me a message asking me to meet her...yep, we are officemates!
