Sephora haul

last week, i was able to finally see what Sephora ION had to offer and am glad i dropped by because i just found out Urban Decay already reached Singapore's shores! of course, i had to get their Primer Potion.


the other day my family and i went to the movies to see Alice in Wonderland so i thought of looking for UD's Alice in Wonderland palette. they were sold out! darn. i was also tempted to get their 24/7 glide-on eye pencils but i remembered reading reviews that it doesn't stay long on oily lids... too bad! hmn... but now that i've mentioned it, maybe UDPP application before lining my eyes will help? haha am fueling my lemmings lol.

wow, i think i'll get addicted to UD too. *gulp*

i noticed they also have the Guerlain Cherry Blossoms Jeu d’Ombrelles Eyeshadow Quad and got curious. damn, the deep burnt eggplant shadow called to me!!! but i was disappointed not to get one because it's the only color i love in the palette and the set costs S$87! *sigh*

i was disappointed not to get one because it's the only color i love in the palette and the set costs S$87! *sigh* i was very hesitant to leave the store but then i couldn't really swallow splurging like that. i'd appreciate it if anyone can let me know if you know a good dupe for that color! :) if i can't find one, am just hoping MAC Spring Colour Forecast Quad #3 has one that will appeal to me. if not, maybe need to assess MAC Fig. 1 although i feel that shade i want is more matte and darker. *sigh sigh sigh*

hmn, need to watch out Sephora closely. who knows maybe they'll relaunch NARS again here and introduce new brands too! **excited mode**

Get ready for the BF!

Yes, it's that day of the year again waited upon by eager shoppers -- Black Friday. I think it's one of the best times of the year to hoard for almost anything and everything, especially if you're based in the US. Why? Across all kinds, brands and range of products and items there are just so much variety to choose from at highly discounted prices. This "shopping holiday" is strategically practiced just a few days shy from the Christmas gift-giving season so shopping for yourself and loved ones (and may be for your enemies too!) just got a lot more convenient, timely and cost-effective. Good news for Singapore-based gals like us, Black Friday has definitely rubbed off on some local companies who's merrily jumping onto the sales bandwagon. Nowadays, this is even sweeter as the deals are not only available at our favorite or popular department stores and boutiques but available dominantly in online shopping! I'm a busy momma -- what with my crazy workload...

Belo (Acne) Oil Control Kit review

Image
*post changed on 9th January 2012: i've only noticed that i actually wrote "Belo ACNE Control Kit" when i got several comments on this post. it should be "Belo OIL Control Kit". i'm not sure if that stirred some confusion or if there is an acne kit per se but just to clarify, that the set i got is BELO OIL CONTROL KIT. so sorry for the confusion previously! previously, i've shared with you that i've tried Belo Acne  Oil Control Kit when i went for my very first facial and at the well-renowned Belo medical clinic (went at their Greenbelt branch). after finishing the entire line, i'd like to share my thoughts and experience. first, to refresh your memory of what the kit includes: i was advised with the following regimen: Morning: Glycolic Soap 5% Belo Prescriptives Pore Minimizer CHAT 2% Sunblock Gel Evening: Glycolic Soap 5% Belo Prescriptives Pore Minimizer CHAT 2% Daily Peel Solution on the Glycolic Soap: - i've never us...

i went back to Manila around late second week of July to get my 3rd ESWL . but before that, i went to Belo at The Residences @ Greenbelt with my youngest sister to get a facial and advice on how to improve our skin. i've never had facial EVER before so i didn't know what to expect. when we arrived, the ladies at the reception greeted us promptly and asked our names to know our appointment. the ambiance of the clinic is very serene, inviting and pleasant. immediately after getting in, i inhaled this clean, jasmine(?) aroma - uhm, very soothing. one of the ladies at the reception received us, then ushered us into available seats and shortly thereafter were offered drinks then asked to fill up a form (since it's our first time there). after a little while, we were assisted to our respective treatment rooms for the facial. my facialist that day was Matet. she was pretty (her skin was radiant!), professional and very accomodating with my queries. she also made me feel at...
