A Fashion, Beauty and Shopping Blog
It’s funny how each time I would come up to the cash register at some makeup store and wait for the sales person to ring up my purchases, I’d always wonder if, in reality, it’s a waste to be putting in hard earned money on things that I won’t get to use much. Yes, I [...]
Clump. Volume. Length. Thick. Drama. Separation. Words you’ll encounter whenever the subject of mascaras is broached. Wanting a fuller lash or curled long ones, it’s either you’re naturally blessed with it or you’ve been spending time, money and effort from the wake of puberty to achieving a quarter of the illusion. Ah, the things we [...]
A renewed love for lip liners stemmed from an afternoon of frivolity — trying out CoverGirl lip makeup and hamming it up in front of the webcam — came as a surprise since I was entering a period of lull and I didn’t need the extra fuss in makeup. Heck, what makeup? But I couldn’t [...]
It’s no secret that I’ve been on a hunt to find the right sort of foundation and for the past few years, I’ve been experimenting on a lot of different brands. There were a couple or so that came real close but there’s always something off. I guess, what makes it hard for me to [...]
Last weekend, though not entirely part of my shopping itinerary, I had ended up bringing home a fresh bottle of liquid makeup from Shiseido. Yea, it’s time to replace the MAC liquid foundation that I’ve been using the past year (interspersed with a couple of mineral foundation potfrom Mary Kay and Avon for them light [...]
Mineral makeup and the right foundation, let’s talk about these two things today. I’ve been experimenting with the former since 2007 and the latter, I’m still searching for the perfect fit. I’ve tried numerous forms of mineral makeup (from eye shadows and illuminating powders to foundations and lipsticks both indie and commercial brands) but I [...]
As I venture into experimenting with Avon makeup, I can’t help but wonder if I’ve missed out on good makeup for the past few years. This isn’t saying that I’ll be using Avon from now on, it’s just that I’m finding myself recommending some of the makeup that I’ve tried and have been somewhat impressed [...]
Because I fell in love with the MAC face powder (MAC Mineralize SkinFinish Natural) which I recently bought, I decided to buy the foundation under the same Mineralize line, the MAC Mineralize SatinFinish Foundation, since I’m in the market to get a new bottle of liquid makeup anyway. Again, I’m still not used to folks [...]
This was actually my first stop during that fated Tuesday shopping spree (see Shoe binge post). I’ve been putting my trip to a MAC counter for so long that when I did find myself in Glorietta, I just knew I’m not going to deny my need any longer. I was in the market for a [...]
Makeup came gradually in my life. I came from being a little tomboy that scoffs at the idea of such a fussy, “girl-y” routine to a lady that sees its morale boosting potential; from detesting occasions when my mum would have an MUA do my makeup to never needing one anymore; from being a clueless [...]
