- in2it green shimmer shadow (i'm not sure if they still have this, i bought it a long time ago)
- some darker green colors in my coastal scents palette
- MAC eyeliner in Blooze
- Maybeline Volume express mascara in waterproof black

for the rest of my face i used:

- l'oreal mineral foundation powder
- NARS blush in orgasm
- red earth concealer palette to conceal some spots
- chapstick

cute product alert! Urban Decay Pocket Rocket

i was browsing around the internet, and this little product caught my eye, haha. it's cute and cheeky its the new Pocket Rocket Lipgloss from Urban Decay. remember those joke shop pens? well, these are exactly like it, the lipgloss handles have pictures of cute boys on them, and at the flick of your wrist, they transform from nice and proper to cheeky, haha

but those aren't the only pluses for this product, the glosses actually come in three finishes, sparkly, sheer or creamy, plus they taste great too! it's also a great lip plumper with Hyaluronic Spheres known to improve cellular function, prevent dehydration, and fill in lines and wrinkles, and to top it off, the tube is known to be laced with pheromones, which is said to enhance attraction ..haha..well i dont know about that..but hey, if it works haha

these glosses make great gifts for your friends, or you can keep a couple for yourself..heehee they come in eight colors..err...guys...personally, i like the Eric, a sheer true red and the Kirk, a sheer creamy nude, but i think Julio,sheer white with iridiscent sparkle, has the cutest picture, and he's carrying a baby !!! ;))i think this shade is Timothy ;))

check 'em out, i'm sure you'll at least get a giggle out of it

product review: Myra E Daily Sun Protect Facial Moisturizer

sorry for the super super late post and for going awol, the last few days in manila have been very busy and hectic (will post pics of those soon) and now, im finally home!!! whoot!

anyhow, i recently bought this new product here in cebu, ive been looking for it in manila but either it sells out so fast or they haven't distributed it in stores yet. to my surprise, it was here! so yay! anyway, summer's started and i think this is the best time to really stress on the spf. although i put on sunblock everyday, even when it's not summer, and if you guys dont do that, i think you should start, even more so now that its super hot.

i've been a myra e user since they came out with their first moisturizer, i like it cause it's light and non-greasy, moisturizes yet doesnt make my face oily aaanddd is cheap! i usually put on sunblock right after but sometimes, especially on extra hot days, my skin kinda gets oily, and i hate that, plus i sometimes forget to put sunblock on if i'm in a hurry, or im too lazy haha. so you'd imagine how excited i was to find out that myra finally came out with their sunblock/moisturizer!

i think it's great, i like the texture, not to greasy, and i tried it out, it feels like a normal moisturizer and doesnt leave that white mask you get after sunblock. i think everyone should try it out, its definitely worth a try, and it's a lot cheaper than some facial sunblocks out there (about Php 89.50 or around $4.50?)

pros:
- non oily or greasy
- light
- doesn't leave a white mask
- doesn't dry shiny
- gets absorbed by the skin right away
- saves the extra step of moisturizer and sunblock, since it's two in one
- it's cheap!

cons:
- has a flowery smell, but other than that, it's great!

john legend marry me!!!!!!

great GREAT night! JOHN LEGEND WAS AMAZING! i'm so glad we got tickets for this! thanks to rhein for watching with me and still sitting with me despite my shameful tendencies to scream and dance at every song..ahhaha...i had so much fun! i totally danced all night, and screamed, and sighed and danced haha he is amazing,not to mention sexy. am totally jealous of my friend anika who got to meet him backstage *sigh* i got so much videos and photos but unfortunately i ran out of memory 3/4 of the show, but its okay, i still remember it HAHA God im such a dork...but i dont care...hahaha JOHN LEGEND MARRY ME PLEASE!!!! i totally wish i was the girl who got picked to go onstage and dance with him ;((

olsen inspired/my your eyes look huge!

i always wondered how the olsen twins can pull off that smokey/not so smokey, i-look-like-i-just-got-out-of-bed-but-i-still-look-great look, it's sexy sultry yet unfussy, and so, i decided to try it out today, emphasize on the word TRY haha what i got was a more wide, rounded eye look, i'm not sure if it's anything like the olsens, but i think i kinda like it heehee the photos don't show it that much, but its much smokier in real life, and maybe a bit heavy for day, i think it makes a glam night look ;)

ooh ooh, i was rummaging through my makeup box and i found my l'oreal volume shocking mascara, it's super heavy, it gives you that fake lash look, which is great i guess for todays inspiration, i remember setting this aside,i don't really remember why i did that though, it gives dramatic results, and i mean really dramatic, which is a really really really good thing if you ask me ;))

i used:

- l'oreal bare mineral foundation in n6
- coastal scents 78 pc. version 2 palette (gold tones and dark blue)
- dior brown eyeshadow (i'm not really sure about the color, its from an old palette given to me a lone time ago)
- fanny serrano gel eyeliner
- l'oreal volume shocking mascara in waterproof black

i didnt really finish the whole look, since i had to study for my history finals..heehee



skin is still not cooperating.sigh
