For the past weekends, DH and I have been constantly visiting the nearest Prime Outlet store. I always go home empty handed except yesterday when I had to use up my Aldo gift card. It is a good idea to list down things you need and wants to buy so you do not end up getting something you don’t really like nor need. That’s what I do now. Nothing really caught my fancy hence, I go home with empty hands which of course makes DH very very happy. Nevertheless, I never fail to check the Cosmetic Outlet store and for many weeks now, I have been waiting for these 3 items. The Urban Decay Alice in Wonderland Book of Shadow is something I would not expect to see in there but I hope I’d see Mac Pretty Please Lipstick and Benetint. It is always nice to save a few bucks and when I shop at Cosmetics Outlet Store, I always save not just few but A LOT of bucks. Speaking of, I need to take advantage of this free life insurance quote before it expires. Have a blessed Holy Week everyone!

Giddy as I can be, look what I found in my inbox today? Never mind the plenty weight loss sites that were in my inbox as well, as if these diet emails were trying to tell me that I should start taking their pills because I am expanding once again yay!

I am so going to shop for the super stash!. Imagine $10 off on my bill is not bad at all. I promise my mom I would give her zero and stash shades and of course those new Eldorado shade :) . Don’t forget this sale will run until Nov. 20 only.

We’re off to another Road trip tomorrow, Washington, D.C. here we come :) . But before that, we need to pick up my mom in Baltimore, I am so excited as this would be my first time in MD. I hope the weather cooperates and there are roadside assistance available on our way. Anyways, before I bid everyone a Sunshiney Weekend, here’s my take on 2 of my favorite Eyeliner brands :) .

You see, I used to be not fond of eyeliners, well at least for my personal use and for everyday make-up. I have dark under-eye circles and my eyes are very round and big. Thus, only a few strokes of eyeliners would make my feature look very sharp. I don’t like that. But of course, during special occasions, eyeliners are a must to complete my look. However, when I came here, I noticed that my eyes have become droopy (yes, old age) and during winter I look very pale without one. So I started to try out other eyeliners from gel to cream to pencils. I have been a regular user of Mac Kohl and other cheapo gel eyeliner brands until I discover Urban Decay Glide-On :) . My favorite is this Velvet Rope. From this collection, I love the Stash and 1999 shades. Very easy to apply, it literally glides. Once applied, you can smudge it and let it dry. I love how these glider pens enhance my eyes but with a softer and defined look.

What are you favorite eyeliners?

My make-up artist friend, H swears by this and in fact hoarded this item when he was in NYC for a training. It is really a lot cheaper if you purchase this in the U.S. and wait for Urban Decay’s quarterly discounts. Anyways, I am talking about the Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion. I have tried a couple of other eyeshadow primer brands but by far, this is the one that lasts more than 8 hours leaving my 2-3 blended eyeshadows without crease and smudges. It can also act as a nice base color and gives your blended eyeshadows long-lasting sharp colors. Now that I found the best Eyeshadow Primer, I’m off to find theĀ  best acne treatment.
