New Make-ups this week :)

I got 3 really cool new Make-ups this week that I want to share with you all, I have only tried them out for a few days and I love them. They worked really great on me and that wasn't usually the case. I normally stick with buying make-ups from MAC because everytime I try other brands it hardly turns out as good as MACs and that's why I'm a loyal MAC customer :D

When I wanted to buy an eye shadow primer I had only one place in mind to get it, MAC. The primer I bought was called the "Painterly Paintpot" for $20. You gently coat your eyelids once (not a lot) because this primer will help prevent your eyeshadows and eyeliner from smudging. I've never used a primer before and I usually always have this problem whenever I yawned or something and it would get my eyes all watery and then my eye shadow close to the crease will smudge, but ever since I used this primer I never came across into any eyeshadow smudging problem. I am very satisfied with this product and I'm always using it everyday before putting on eyeshadow or eyeliner.

This week I kind of wanted to try a new eyeliner that one of my friends was using, and she persuaded me to buy it because it's really good, etc. so I'm like what the heck, why not? I've been using MAC's Engraved Pencil Eyeliner for many, many years and I just wanted to try this one out for a change. This Eyeliner is called "Jet set waterproof eyeliner" from Smashbox and you can get it from Shoppers Drugmart for $27. I know that it seems a lot for just an eyeliner and considering that my MAC pencil eyeliner was only $16 and it could last me about 2-3 months. This Jet Set eyeliner really worked well for me and I love it. It is easy to use, you have to buy an angled eyeliner brush separately, I got one from QUO for $13 (also available at Shoppers), so with the brush you gently dip it in the eyeliner and glide it on your eyelids. You don't even need to dip it a whole lot, because one little dab goes a long way. The eyeliner never smudges, it is waterproof but it comes off with soap and water, it lasts for a really long time (I'm talking up to 3 days) therefore, I will be using this eyeliner from now on :)

I also got a Make-up Eveshadow Palette from Chickaboom. My baby ordered it for me online, that's the only place where you can get it from, Chickaboom.ca and you will receive it in the mail about a week. They are usually sold out of this Palette because it's really popular. This "Super" Palette costs $29.99 and has 88 Eyeshadows that are highly pigmented and easy to blend. I love mixing 2-3 colours together, it gives a much better effect than just using one color. I'm so happy I got this Palette, I love it soo much.

On the Newspaper

Yesterday I went with my sister to a Filipino Restaurant to look for this Filipino Newspaper called "Likha" because I was featured on it for the Septemeber issue as Likhang "Kaakit-akit" I'm not exactly sure what that means but I know it's a compliment lol my sister told me it means "seductive" and she started laughing. So when we got there we found the newspaper and took 10 copies of it lol. I guess it's pretty cool to have your face in a newspaper, this was actually my second time being on a Filipino newspaper so for my first time I was more giddy and so happy lol.

My little description, which is exactly right lol

Being on the Filipino newspaper you get recognition of some sort, such as I was asked to be in a Filipino Beauty Pageant a few times before, and I turned it all down. I just get really scared being infront of people on the stage, so it's definitely a fright thing for me and that's something I have to get over.

I love luxuries, I know most people don't agree on spending a lot of money on buying expensive items, but I think it's actually quiet beneficial and worthy. Why spend money on inexpensive clothing, shoes, bags etc. when it doesn't even last you for long. I prefer to just save my money and buy a luxury that can last me for years and I'm talking about 10+ years.
