Abby's Little Corner

Sorry for the lack of post this weekend. I had been out of town because of our company's outing. Didn't bring laptop cause I don't want to add more weight in my heavy baggage.

Anyhoo, We went to Club Punta Fuego located at Nasugbu, Batanggas. We spent almost three hours travel time just to get to the place. Before going to Punta Fuego we had our brunch first in La Trobada Restaurant in Tagaytay City. The view of Taal lake while having our brunch was spectacular.

Hi everyone. Today's lipstick is one of the six lipstick which was given to me by my Ninong as a "pasalubong" when he got home last week. :)

I'm not familiar with Inglot. This was the first time I heard about it and I haven't seen this brand here in the Philippines. It's funny how this brand reminds me of Iglot, the drama series which was aired in GMA Telebabad.

Oh by the way, those dividers are adjustable

This is one of my most favorite shade in my lipstick colection. I use this whenever I feel. I describe it as my perfect every day pink lipstick, not too shocking and not too nude. Just right.

The packaging actually looks cheap. But for the price,  who cares.

the sticker label can easily be removed. :'(

Swatches:

I accidentally deleted all my photos for this post yesterday. This collage was the only thing left, so pardon me for the lack of photos for today's post.

Avon Moisture Shine Lipstick

About the lipstick:

• A what-you-see-is-not-what-you-get lipstick. It's suppose to be a peachy orange lipstick but when swatched on my lips, it turned reddish pink. (is it just my lips?)
• Staying power is not that good. Is it because it's a moisturizing lipstick?
• Has a bitter taste :(
• Doesn't dry out my lips
• nice packaging though.

During our field trip in Cebu, we happened to stop by at Gaisano Mall in Mactan, Cebu where we had our dinner before we head back to Manila. We have ample of time so I decided to roam around the cosmetics area and was wondering around what souvenir I could get for myself.

I checked all the unfamiliar stall( Stalls that I think was unavailable in Manila) there I saw Oseur`. I checked out their lipstick and swatched some as well. I immediately liked this one.

Packaging is decent. :)

Swatch on my Lips:

Today, my mom and I went to Landmark Makati to buy our groceries.
We pass by the bag section in the second floor and I saw this pretty pink makeup organizer.

After I saw this, I immediately told myself. OMG! I want this.

Here is the pic of my new makeup organizer. :)

It's Like an Ipad Case but slightly ticker

Check out what's inside

It has a brush holder and a mirror.

plus this two pockets

1st pocket: Good place for eyeliners and lipsticks

2nd Pocket: Perfect for blushes, eye shadows and foundations

This is a sampler lipstick I got together with my Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant Kit.

Look at their samplers. It's so neat

Inside. There is the lipstick and a wand applicator.

And so, If you read my post on my facebook page. You'll know that my sister and I had suffered from pimples these past days because of our expired bar cleanser.

We only bought that cleanser 2 weeks ago then lately we realize it's expired because of its super foul smell.

I had no face cleanser to use this time and I couldn't drop by the mall to buy some because of my busy schedule. Good thing I remembered I have this samples stored in my drawer. I never tried using it before because I still have my facial cleanser and I just want to finish it first before trying out another one.

I had been using Kiehl's Purifying Foam Cleanser and Clarity-Activating Toner for 1 week now, and I can say that my skin is really loving it. I use it day and night and I noticed that my skin is soft, smooth and less oily when I wake up plus it didn't break me out, meaning I had no pimples or acne or whatsoever.

What I Love About It <3

• made my skin less oily, soft and smooth
• my skin felt very hydrated, dry patches on my skin are gone
• doesn't break me out

Yes, but I don't know where?

What I think you'll love at this blushes:

I am really amazed how pigmented and velvetty this eyeshadow is. It's not like my regular eyeshadow



Will I buy this eyeshadow? Of Course, now I'm planning to buy NYX palettes because of this. :D

So what is more stressful than stress? For me it's pimples.

Last Tuesday (June 19, 2012) I received the eye shadows that I oredered in MakeupHolics. Ms. Melanie, the owner of the shop is very accommodating and very nice. She also suggested me to buy the disco palette since the first palette I ordered was out of stock.

Yehey! I am now officially 21 yrs old. Yesterday I celebrated my 21st Birthday at the Racks located in SM Mall of Asia. Nothing special just a day with me and my family.

I chose the Racks because my bf is always raving how delicious the foods there. Haiizzz (The convincing power of raving. :D). AnyHoo, I ordered a family platter Surf n' turf (2100 pesos), here's what's included in the platter. BTW, you will choose your pasta and the 3 big side dishes. :D
