Lancome In Love (Contest/Giveaway)

#contests #giveaways

If you are anything like me, I love lip gloss (and lipsticks, and eyeshadows, and... Ok, I love all makeup). But one thing I can't live without is lipgloss. I specially love the "I just ate something really oily" kind of gloss.

Lancome has been one of my favorite brands that carry really nice lip gloss. Remember Juicy Tubes? Oh gosh, they are the best!

Last Spring, Lancome came out with another collection: Lancome In Love. I love how dainty the colors are from the collection!

WOMAN IN CHARGE: Makeup In Sports

#womanincharge #beautytips


Welcome to the newest section of my blog, WOMAN IN CHARGE. I will be featuring different women taking charge and how they conquer the world wearing makeup! My first WOMAN IN CHARGE is:

Gorgeous Andrea Hardin, wife of Rich Hardin, is the ultimate sports nut. Even as a wife and mom to 1 year old Andre, her family spends most of their time outdoors playing sports or just plain old fun. Being out under the sun where she spends most of her time specially during Soccer Festival where a good game lasts from 8am to 4pm, and playing 2-3 games of ultimate Frisbee per day that lets you bake in UV rays from 8am to 5pm, “sun protection is crucial”, Andrea declares.

Bye Bye Baggies!

#productreview

I have never been the eyebag kinda girl until recently when I have been sleeping late the past few weeks. (In-denial me says: They grew puffy overnight, I swear!) My cousin's visit to Manila bringing me goodies from Shiseido was just perfect timing!


Since this was a gift (my cousin gave me 2 packs), I can't give you the price here in Manila. But in the US, they cost around $62 (more or less PhP2,600) for a box of 12 applications.

Avon Makes Perfect Red! (Updated)

#spotlight

I have always been in love with red lipstick. I think it is the single color in the lipstick world that can dress up any outfit even if you are naked.

I recently received a lipstick from Avon (way before the launch of their new makeup line). I have had the lipstick ready in my "to be reviewed" drawer and I finally got  to it.

The Classic Cosmetic Tools Go Electronic!

#toolsofthetrade

The time has come that classic cosmetics tools such as the eyelash curler and the eyebrow shaver is being replaced with ones with batteries! Although heated lash curlers have been around for quite sometime, and I'm not even sure about electric brow shavers, but hey, they're here! And available from local brand Nichido, nonetheless!

Face Off: The Eyelash Adhesive

#faceoff

When I started doing makeup as a full time profession in 2004, there was only 1 choice for eyelash adhesive back then. Through the years I have searched high and low for other alternatives: From Aido to LashGrip to generic Japanese glues -it was a treasure hunt!

Get the Look: Glowing Skin

#getthelook

Who doesn't love dewy, glowing skin? Oh, and there is a fine line between looking greasy and looking positively radiant! A lot of women are scared of shine that they apply every mattifying product known to man (or woman). There's nothing wrong with having matte skin if that is your preference. But having absolutely no sheen to your skin can add years to your face. Glow adds youth, so go for glow!
