Don't you just love it when a product you don't have any high hopes for performs better than you expected? I got the Topshop Lip Cream as a freebie because of this haul. I thought I wouldn't like because it looked purple on the tube. I even thought about giving it away but I'm glad I ended up keeping it because it's just a super unique color and it ( Read more... )

I think it's about time I talk about this eye shadow palette because I loved it so much I bought its mother. But more on that later. This was one of the gifts my husband got me for our anniversary last year and also my first foray into the NARS eyeshadows. I was trying to order a different palette from Sephora (the And God Created the Woman one) ( Read more... )

At night is probably not the best time to take product photos but I'm just really excited to show you my Ipsy bag for March 2014! I was really happy when the Glam Room updated and I saw the products I'm getting in the new bag (sneak peek post here). So when I got the text from my courier that the bag is ready for pick up, I claimed it right away. ( Read more... )

This week was supposed to be Brush Week but I think it's going to be what's new from Maybelline instead. Maybelline is probably my favorite local drugstore brand because I'm always excited whenever they have new releases. I never visit the mall without stopping by their stall and having a little looksee at the new (or even old!) product displays. ( Read more... )

It's very easy to tell that I'm a neutral eye-makeup kind of girl by reading through a bunch of my blog posts. I usually have some kind of beige/brown/taupe eye makeup going on a daily basis. And can you blame me? Neutrals are very easy to wear and pull off. But there's a quad in my makeup stash that made me deviate from my usual neutral palette. ( Read more... )

Up until a month ago, my everyday bronze eyeshadow used to be the Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze. But lately, I've been using a different bronze for my lids. This is just as easy to apply and stays on the lids all day too. I guess if you read my weekend haul posts, you probably know the product I'm talking about. This is the Clinique ( Read more... )

The last item from my India Haul is the Maybelline 14-Hour Super Stay Lipstick in Stay With Me Coral. This line is once again not released here in the Philippine so when I saw this at the counter in Pantaloons Phoenx Mall, I got it right away. I chose this particular color because I heard Alix of I Covet Thee talk about it as her staple lipstick  ( Read more... )

Also known as the dupe for MAC Lustre lipstick in Razzle Dazzler. I got the MAC lipstick because it's part of the All About Orange collection which is limited edition. I know it came out a few months ago but it's fairly new here in the Philippines and I'm glad I got it before it gets sold out. I'm going to write a proper review of Razzle Dazzler ( Read more... )

Whenever I do my eye makeup, I always, always line my upper lash line before applying my mascara. I never skip this step because I think it makes my eyes look bigger and more awake. I have phases when it comes to liners. There was a time when all I used are felt-tip liners, then gel liners and now I'm into soft kohl pencils. I have always used ( Read more... )

I'm ending this week with another Maybelline post! And a picture heavy one at that. This year I've fallen inlove with cream blushers. I think I wore cream blushers more often than powder ones. So I've started building up my collection and I picked up another one during my trip a few weeks ago. This is the Maybelline Dream Touch Blush in 05 (why ( Read more... )
