Two weeks ago, I received this package full of Maybelline Loot plus a bagtag which I find very cute in the mail. I was not expecting this to come after I spoke with my friend who was supposed to send this last year haha. So yes, this loot came my friend, H, who is one of Maybelline’s NY Color Artists and he would often give me a portion of his make-up allowance. hee hee. This was what he sent me, a first Maybelline loot in 2010. Looking forward to more freebies this year.

Before I take my weight loss drink and write my series of Maybelline make-up review entries, let me share this beautiful quote I stumbled on Tumblr.  Stay beautiful y’all!

“Hey, girls, you’re beautiful. Don’t look at those stupid magazines with sticklike models. Eat healthy and exercise. That’s all. Don’t let anyone tell you you’re not good enough. You’re good enough, you are too good. Love your family with all your heart and listen to it. You are gorgeous, whether you’re a size 4 or 14. It doesn’t matter what you look like on the outside, as long as you’re a good person, as long as you respect others. I know it’s been told hundreds of times before, but it’s true. Hey, girls, you are beautiful.”

I know it seems fortunate for people who work but what about our family weekends, yay!

Ever since the 8-10 inches snow a couple of weeks ago, I have been accustomed at checking weather station first thing in the morning. So yes, it was only now that I became like this hee hee. You couldn’t blame me because we have a lovely weather in this lovely city even on Winter season. But this year, it has been different. In fact, there is another snow forecast this weekend! Yay!  more…

When it comes night make-up, I usually recommend the use of the color silver or grays, when it comes to accentuating your eyes. I find silver elegant and dramatic for any eye shape for as long as you know how to blend it well. more…

And yes, I have been living under the rock, the rock of shopping! I wasn’t able to grab myself this limited edition Urban Decay’s new Alice in Wonderland Book of Shadows at $52. Don’t worry, you and I can still sign up to be notified as soon as the next round of palettes goes on sale. Now, that’s what I get from ignoring all online shops’ emails and sales alert. Come to think of it, why did I even bother checking their site when I was supposed to be checking ways on how to reduce belly fat.

But yes, this is such a good deal and a nice palette combination :) .

When it comes to bridal make-up, I pay particular attention to the coverage of the foundation. I don’t go strong so much on the colors and try as much as possible to work on the neutrals, pinks, and colors that would enhance the bride’s skin tone and complexion. more…

I wasn’t able to watch the Golden Globe Awards because I was busy researching on these hgh supplements. Anyways, I swiped these photos from WhoWhatWear.com. I just can’t help but comment on the trend of make-up these stars wore, they were all subdued and I love it. I guess because all of their gowns were very much elaborated that was why they had to be a little light on the make-up.

Like I previously wrote, my friends and family know me so well that during Christmas, Make-up loot is their top choice for my Christmas presents hee hee. Here’s one of the make-up loots I received last Christmas. Glad to have this because I started collecting palettes over individually packed make-up as I find them handy and organized.

Estee Lauder is known for its elegant packaging.

The shades may be a little basic but perfect for Spring and my everyday make-up. Thanks K&D!

1 Tender Blush: Nude rose
1 Pure Color Long-Lasting Lipstick: 1C3 LadyPink

I am very lucky to not have major pimples in my lifetime, in fact, I can only count with 2 hands the number of times I encounter pimple and their not even acne or a big of a problem. So you can guess by now that I have dry skin. However, come winter, it can get VERY dry and VERY itchy that my regular Dove soap,
Clinique moisturizer and Vaseline lotion won’t work. I have to find alternatives each cold season.

So before I check on these tazorac reviews, let me share my most used products this Winter. And yes, I have a farmer’s hand and they get even worst during Winter.
