Though in me it screams too much fashion, I am not the type who wears to much make up. I usually just do my regimen of putting sunscreen in the morning and do a few easy steps to enhance my eyes (which close friends tell me, is my asset) and then I’m off to go. So I am frugal in the make up department and my stock of eyeliners and mascaras go a long way and lately, I run out of my white mascara and read online that peach eye pencils are actually better in enhancing your eyes than whites so off I go to test this…

in this color:

Topaz (Apricot Nude)

And so far, I am loving the color though you have to retouch the eyeliner once in a while especially that it is hot this Summer.

Oh my Gloss!

O’ my Gloss. Yeah I am raving about Smashbox’s O-Gloss.

Online friends who love make up recommended this product to me. I am never a lipstick girl or even a lip gloss girl so you can say that I was a bit skeptic to purchase this 22$ product. You see when I use lipsticks or lip glosses my lips end up getting chappy or dry even if what I use is a high end brand lip product. My lips just don’t get used to lip chemicals, I guess. I also tend to lick my lips and get conscious if something’s on my lips so I end up wearing nothing at all. But I love how this product blend with the natural moisture of my lips. This innovative formula goes on clear and then reacts with your personal skin chemistry to instantly transform into your own custom shade of pink. Impossible but true. I was surprised that even if the gloss is clear, I still get the tint of pink my lips have only a little brighter, really cool! Anyways, I recommend this product to ladies like me who are not so comfortable wearing something on their lips.

From March has finally arrived…

I bought a camo shorts and a board shorts for DH. A rash guard that pairs a board shorts, 1 checkered shorts and a cute pair of shoes for my son. Kikay stuff for me!!! I guess my earning extra pays off, I can buy stuff not only for me but also for my boys.

I have yet to try their finishing powders and eyeshadows and I want to buy more brushes from them. I am actually making a list for the things I want to buy in the States and with my limited budget? We’ll see where that takes me.

I have 2 faves so far. What’s NYX? You may ask. It’s a make up brand. Yes, I’m into make up right now, though I don’t wear much. I’m still aiming for the natural glowing look but I don’t want my face to look plain nowadays, I want some color so I ordered neutral colors in lighter and darker shades like my first NYX loots…

My faves so far are the Salmon and Egg White. I have yet to show it on my lids, as soon as I perfect putting make up on my face. LOL. Right now, I’m just having fun doing swatches, it’s just too much work for me, I make a mess in our bathroom, many colors go in my towel and after swatching a lot goes to the drain.

I was sold to so much NYX eyeshadows and lipsticks in VERY reasonable prices. Plus we had some items bought that we shared just to save money since we can’t consume an item by ourselves better share them and save some moolah too. I’m also excited about this item…

Two Faced Shadow Insurance, which is actually a primer to make your shadows stay in your lids longer and so that it won’t crease after a long period of time. I’ve heard great raves about this product that I actually paid for my share, with the rest of the bebots. My eyeshadow fades after 2 hours and I’m just curious to try this product. It’s pricey at 17$ so I’m glad I shared the item with 3 ladies.

Cover Girl’s LashBlast! I don’t have mascara and with the raves I heard, I got this. It’s actually buy one take one so Joy and I paid for it. I hope it will really make my lashes appear longer and hopefully it will help the curls stay on longer.

I discovered a new make up brand from friends online… ELF.

The very first loots I bought from ELF (Eyes.Lips.Face) just four pieces all in $4.00. Yes each only costs a dollar so you can expect that I will get more from them soon. I just had to test the product if it’s good for my skin. You see I have really sensitive skin and even some expensive make ups cause my face to breakout but so far, I’ve used the pressed powder twice and nothing bad happened to my skin, the eyeliner pen, I almost use everyday and I don’t get anything. So, another box is coming from the US maybe around May and I have ELF loots there again. I’m just excited to try more of their products.
