Another Red Lipstick

Okay, so I know I just bought my first ever red lipstick last week and I'm still getting used to wearing it but when I saw this auction for a Skinfood red l/s on eBay, I just couldn't help myself but bid on it (am I turning into a shopaholic?). I keep telling myself that I would get to use both of them eventually (I hope!). Anyhoo, it turns out that I won the bidding and I paid for it last Saturday and I got the item today. Yipee!

I also included a shot of swatches of both Skin Food Candy Moist Rouge #206 Cherry Red and Fashion 21 Wild Cherry.

Mail Day Today

Got 2 packages today from Joeanne of TheLittleCoolShop. I ordered 2 BB creams from her and they were sent separately. The Lioele bb cream was shipped from Davao and the Missha Perfect Cover bb cream was shipped from Paranaque. Anyway, I'm so happy to find lots of freebies included with my package.

I mentioned in my previous blog that I bought a sample of SkinFood Aloe #1 from eBay. When I first tried it, I was really amazed with how it kept my oilies at bay. But I noticed on my 3rd day of using it that my face gets darker after a couple of hours of having it on. And my skin is not really acidic so I was kinda surprised to see this bb cream's effect on me. Also, I noticed small bumps on my chin after the 3rd day. They're not that noticeable but when I look closely, I see them.. So sad coz I really thought I found my HG in bb creams with SF Aloe #1. I just hoped that Missha and Lioele will work better for me. I'll post a review in a couple of weeks.

Mini Haul

Went grocery shopping today at SM Southmall and as usual, I couldn't help but purchase some items from Watsons. I got some nail polishes, 2 lipsticks, GNO eyeliner in Nice Gal and a liquid eyeliner from Nichido, and a couple of other essentials.

Also, I received my sample of Skinfood Aloe and BRTC Jasmine Water BB cream yesterday from an eBay seller and she included a sample of Buckwheat Loose Powder in a ziplock baggie.. I'm still searching for my HG in BB creams and as such, have not yet purchased a full-sized item (except for 4u2, which is really cheap). Anyway, I tried the Skinfood Aloe yesterday and accidentally slept on it. When I woke up, my face isn't oily at all which is really amazing, considering that I have a very oily skin, especially in the morning. Now I'm thinking about buying the full-sized one since I really loved the way it keeps my face oil-free.. Hmmm..
