"Crazy till we're in our 80's" ♥♥♥

I had Saturday classes today! After class my two peppermints went to the mall to eat out (like we usually do every after class) and supposedly get a mani-pedi-spa sesh..

We ate in Army Navy and had this fun-fun-fun moment there. 

Liz: Ano yan? (Hiro's drink)
Me: Milkshake
Liz and Me: "My milkshake brings all the boys in the yard..."
Hiro: Mga walang hiya kayo! "It's better than yours!"
All three of us: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

I have been spending the past 7 years of my life with these two and some other crazy people. I have to say, even if none of us bagged the coveted "Cum Laude" title way back in college, I'm still grateful that I came across these crazies whom I know will be with me till the end. 

Just like what we always say.. "Crazy till we're in our 80's" ♥♥♥

real techniques core collection and wet n wild matte lipsticks

I've done online purchases in the past but I have somehiw stopped for many reasons, like time, budget etc. Then just recently, I came accross with an online store selling wet n wild lippies in in the colors that I love, not to mention at a very good rate as well.

I purchased two lippies from the store. An orange one with the name 24 Carrot Gold and one in Sugar Plum Fairy obviously a plum shaded lipstick.

I'm not a fan of matte lipsticks but I'm loving these matte babies.. :)  I'll do individual reviews for them and upload swatches as well in the next few weeks. :)

Apart from the lipsticks, I also grabbed a set of brushes. It actually is my first set. It's the Real Techniques Core Collection. It has 4 brushes in the set, 2 bigger ones and 2 smaller ones. Just like the lippies, I'll do a more detailed review for the brushes soon as well..
   

Here's my first pic of them when  they arrived. Thanks again to The Primp Pad!

annoying!!

I love watching YouTube videos and subscribing to the ones that I really like. A few hours ago, I commented on a video and then a few minutes later, I received this email.
After reading this, I just felt a little annoyed. Is this her way of getting subscribers? I a very good strategy for me. Tsktsktsk. Those damn posers.

Fashion 21 Double Up Mascara Review

“Lashes instantly up to two times longer, stronger.” That's what this mascara claims to give. I picked this mascara up from the Fashion 21 counter for 225 Php in Market! Market! Taguig today because my Maybelline Volume express one started to dry up and clump on several instances. I first heard of this from Say Tioco, a youtube guru and she said nothing but good stuff about this mascara so I gave it a try.

The packaging is simple. It comes in a sleek red container and that's it, very simple. What noticed different though was the wand. Unlike my favorite Maybelline mascara, it wasn't curved. It was just straight and the bristles are not as much as what the Maybelline has. This has shorter and stiffer bristles. The sales lady confirmed that it was water proof but that's one thing I would have to find out for myself. And I think it only comes in color black.







As for my first reaction after applying one coat of it, I was AMAZED! I was fortunate enough to have long and not so thick but definitely not sparse eyelashes and with just one coat of it, my lashes looked even longer! It also has a clean finish, it doesn't smudge nor clump and it does a great job with the lower lashes as well.

I've just noticed that this mascara tends to weigh down my lashes and it doesn't do well in holding up the curl. 


I must say, I am very picky when it comes to mascaras and I really wasn’t that much adventurous with it. I tend to stick to what works for me and for these past few years it had always been Maybelline. I now have a new favorite as of the moment. 

Will I repurchase it? Definitely yes! Do I recommend it? Another YES!
