Perfect Pink…Not!

Posted by girlie on August 11, 2010

PhotobucketBeen searching for the perfect pink! I finally saw one and I thought I was lucky. I picked that brand simply because I was happy with their Top Tomato (fiery red). Top Tomato turned out the way they described the product but not the Perfect Peony (name of that particular shade). Food-proof, yes it was. Ultra-conditioning top coat was missing! My lips became very dry and shimmery lines were very visible. Nope it does not wear beautifully, not even after an hour of use. I am very very disappointed. I tried other brands, with the other colors it was alright, but when it came to the perfect pink (well at least for me) all else fail. They have the same problem on my lips. I think it’s the shimmer or it could be an ingredient that they put that makes it pale pink, something silvery.

Photobucket This is the packet I talked about a month or so already. Yeah finally I got it after paying half of what they (customs) wanted which was way beyond understanding. It was a gift to me by a very dear friend Krisa, please allow me to thank you from the bottom of my heart. All the items included made me smile from ear to ear, oh way past my ears. That was how happy I was/am. I already used the Urban Decay Primer Potion in this photo for my twitter background. The Mac Mineralize Skinfinish is very nice too. I use it to set my Mac foundation. I haven’t tried the Mac e/s and the brushes but will try it soon when I am in the mood for another pictorial.

Coastal Scents is Awesome!

Photobucket OMG it’s addicting. This is my second Coastal Scents palette. The first one that I bought was the 88-pc palette which is purely for the eyes. This 78-pc palette has something for the cheeks. Did you know that Coastal Scents is really very affordable? I love it, it’s highly pigmented and the colors stay, of course with the help of a primer. So don’t get surprised if you see me made up all the time, I’m just enjoying my new hobby, which is painting my face.

“Matronic” Momma!

Photobucket Since I have been watching a lot of makeup tutorials over at youtube, I came across this vid that demonstrates how to do the faux hawk hair. Curious as I am, I tried it on myself. I’ve been doing it for the past 2 days already, one with curls and in that photo I tied my hair in a bun. What’s funny is, people are not used to seeing me all “dolled” up. Like our tenant, she was like “mukhang galing ka ng party” (looks like you just came from a party). Yeah I admit, our tenants see me mostly in my street clothes, sans makeup and all. So I can understand why she made such a comment. I was amused more than mad. Lately I have been trying different looks, and so far I’m enjoying every bit of it.

Perfect Eyes…at least for ME!

I promised myself before I left for Hong Kong that I’d be looking for an electronic eyelash curler. I’ve been wanting to have this since I can’t remember when. It’s just too much of a hassle for me to be heating my curlash with a blow dryer. So when I found this in one of the shops there, I was just too happy to have it. This product won the bronze award at the Invention Convention. So when I got home, I immediately used it to my dismay. It wouldn’t really curl my lashes, my heart sank. I started reading the manual that went with it. It said that it is most effective if you use it after putting mascara…ahhhh no wonder. Now I’m a happy girl err woman!

Another great find was Maybelline’s Lash Stylist. Instead of a brush wand, Lash stylist had a comb wand. This works well for me at least. These are just two of the products I’d like to share with you and I swear it works perfectly!
