Red Lipstick and Happy Mail Day!

They say that every woman should have a red lipstick. Personally, I've always been more comfortable in using nude or earth tone lipcolor but I figured, what the heck! I sure wanna give it a try. So since a lot of the girls at GT swore by Fashion 21's Wild Cherry, I have decided to purchase it. It's cheap too. So I bought it today and I can't wait to try it when I go to work tomorrow.

Oh, and my day was actually off to a good start. I received 3 notices from the post office for packages that I need to claim. And since I know that I'm just waiting for my Joppa grab bag and my 2 orders with Lauress, I hurried to the post office to claim them. Here are my latest haul..

I'm actually a bit disappointed with my Joppa grab bag since it only contains a few items compared to what the other girls from GT got. Oh well, at least the foundations are my exact match. I guess they really look at your previous orders to know what shade to send you.

I just ordered samples from Lauress and looks like I've already found my shade in Radiant Gold. Other samples I got are their e/s and gem liners.

More later!

My Random Ramblings..

I've always wanted to know what my shade is with MAC so when I went to MOA yesterday, I made sure that I drop by MAC's counter. I found out that I'm an NC25. It was an enormous feat to turn away and buy nothing. But I'm not really sure if I'm willing to shell out Php1500 for a foundation so with a heavy heart, I turned away. Probably someday.. When I have more moolah to spare.

Anyway, it's my rest day today and I figured that I won't be putting any make up on especially with the hot weather and all.. But I'm really bored and I had to take my sister and aunt to the bus station so I need to put on some makeup but it's very minimal.. I just used my Purederm BB cream and my Joppa Original FS in Sheer, Nichido blush in Passionate Red, my homemade eye primer, Fashion21 eyebrow duo and black liquid liner, Nichido Girls Night Out in Smoke Green, Gelato eyescream #3, Bare Naturals lipcolor in Delusional, Ellana mineral e/s in Inspiration as my brow highlighter, and Elf waterproof black mascara and I'm done.. It's really hot but at least my make up is not melting.. yet.

An MMU Convert

I've never been an avid user of make up.. until now. I guess you could say that joining an online forum like girltalk has really changed me when it comes to kikay factor..( teehee!)

There were days when makeup pasalubongs from relatives in the US just expire without me using them but lately, I have begun my own collection of make up, MINERAL MAKE-UP!! At first, I was just curious about the raves about this products and I decided to order online since Joppa offers free shipping worldwide.. Since I cannot wait for my Joppa haul to arrive, I decided to try the Loreal's True Match Mineral foundie and whoa, I was hooked.. I really love the way it feels on my skin and it doesn't even look like I'm wearing make-up..(as compared to when I use True Match liquid foundie).. and what's even better is that I didn't have to retouch my make-up the entire shift, and I'm on an 11-hr shift, mind you! And then my free samples from Ellana came. and I excitedly tried them on, and the result is even better.. It feels better on my skin and it offers better coverage.. After 14 days of waiting, my Joppa haul arrived and I was ecstatic. I haven't tried them all yet but with the few varieties I've used, I'm in love already. I'll be posting pics of my small stash of MMU soon and I'll give more feedback as I use them.. For now, I guess it's true that once you've tried MMU, you'll never look at make-up the same way again.. LOL!




Wearing my Joppa MMU


This is what I started with when I decided to try MMUs. A few more has been added since then but I haven't gotten around to taking their pics..
