You're probably wondering where I got the Elf Studio Stipple Brush and Elf Mineral Eye Primer (not available locally), I ordered those from the Elf Website last December and shipped it to a friend in the US since they don't ship world wide. My Elf loot just arrived last week. (pictures will be shown on next post)


Good luck everyone!

Cheerios!

Here's another interesting lipstick that I found online while I was browsing through ebay.ph. I got it really cheap, but in case you're wondering this retails for $6.36 at Target.

I was looking for more information about this product but I failed.  The Rimmel sweet stuff lipstick comes the Rimmel Underground line so it can't be found on their official website. I just felt the need to write a review about this product since it's totally different from most lipsticks I have tried.


* inexpensive

• Name/Blogger name
• Blog title/URL
• Write "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."
• Fave quote
• Fave song
• Fave singers
• Anything else you want to say?
• Tag 3-5 other people.

I know, I know, my handwriting sucks big time! It was fun doing this though.

This is it for now.

I have tried quite a few mascaras already but I must say I'm impressed with this.  The Falsies is one of Maybelline's wonderful creations. I got this mascara from my friend (Loien) and have been using it for about a month now. I just thought it's time for my thoughts to be heard.

What I like about it...
* inexpensive
* super black color
* curved applicator
* clump free if applied carefully
* smudge proof and waterproof
* it lengthens my lashes
* gives extreme volume, hence the falsies name
* nice packaging, love the color
* lasts all day
* easy to remove with an eye makeup remover
* does not sting

* not easy to find locally
* needs time to apply, this is not the type of mascara you can use when you're in a hurry

My rating: 4 / 5


I truly love this mascara, and I would highly recommend this to ladies who are looking for that natural length but extra volume. I won't be repurchasing this anytime soon since I still have other mascaras on hand.

This is it for now. Enjoy your weekend.

Cheerios!

I finally had time to do an FOTD using my Avon winnings from Askmewhats which you can check out HERE. I was running late for work today, and had to finish my makeup fast! So, here's a quick makeup look that can be done in 15 minutes or less.

Step 1:
I applied my Celetque facial moisturizer, followed by my BB Cream
(I'm using Pure Beauty's Soothing BB Cream)

Step 2:
I set my face using the Avon Ideal Shade Loose Powder for a flawless finish.

Step 3:
I then applied the Avon Smooth Mineral Eyeshadow in Mocha Goddess all over my lids and blended it out slightly above the crease. Also lined my waterline and lower lash line with Mocha Goddess eyeshadow. 



Step 4:
I curled my lashes using ELF eyelash curler and applied my Maybelline Falsies Mascara. (If you noticed, I didn't line my upper lash line, for a much more natural look. So, no eyeliner was used in this look)

Step 5:
I applied the Avon Smooth Mineral Blush in M02 Blushed on my cheeks for a natural flush.

Step 6:
I applied the Avon Ultra Moisture Rich Lipstick in Sheer Nectar on my lips.

Step 7: Finally, I slightly applied the Avon Ideal Shade Loose Powder on my T-Zone to finish the look.


Now, I'm off to work! (I'm on the afternoon shift this month) Sorry for the droopy eyes, I was real tired all morning doing tons of housework and taking care of my little boy. Whew!

This is it for now.

Cheerios!
