MUFE Mat Velvet+ >> DAY 1

hey gals! before you all forget this blog is existing, i'd just like to post a quick update.

yesterday i went to Sephora Ngee Ann City and picked up MakeUpForEver Mat Velvet+ liquid foundation (in 35).



i got it for S$68. i remembered i also needed (for the longest time) a cosmetic sharpener. the MUA gave me MUFE's although i was planning to get a cheap one (Sephora has one that costs S$7). i went ahead and got it. when i used it later in the evening, i wasn't disappointed - it was easy to use, sharp and didn't give funny edges to the makeup pencils i sharpened. i was happy in the end even if it costs twice that of Sephora's (S$13).



they are having a promotion as well that you get to draw a number from a pumpkin basket to pick your prize for buying S$80 worth of products. i picked #4 and i got this as my freebie:

Soap&Glory body moisturizing mist

i don't really like body moisturizers/lotions but i think i have to give this one a try - it's free anyway! :-)

ok, as the title says i wore the MUFE Mat Velvet+ foundie today and i am liking it. i applied it like i apply my Joppa powder mmu - with a flat top buffer brush. i like the finish - it's natural and it feels very light, as opposed my previous experience with liquid foundation (MAC, Maybelline). tomorrow, i will use my MAC 190SE to see any difference in application. during midday, i still had to blot my face but other than that no major oiliness. i also didn't need to apply BB cream prior to the foundation so that is a major plus.

hopefully i can post FOTD by tomorrow.

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...
