Package from Netherlands

Hello ladies! As you all know that I won the Gucci Cosmetic Bag from Shirley of Notesfromthetoothfairy. I was really excited to get it from PO and I'm anxiously wait for about 1 hour because lot of people getting their parcels too. So, upon deliberation of my package the PO customs man ask me about the package because of its whooping value price. So, he asked me to open the package to check what the heck is worth that big bucks and the good thing was he never knew that Gucci bag and some freebies are worth a lot here hehehe. Thanks to customs man for his humanistic heart and of course he didn't ask me for customs fee or tax whatever!

what's inside the box?

I'm loving the paper bag : )

and how much I love the bag?

got some freebies!

What I got:
Dior Addict Lip Polish in Fresh Expert (002)
Givenchy Very Irresistible sample
Jean Paul Gaultier maDAME sample
Dermalogica Recovery Masque sample
Cle de Peau Mousse Visage

Stroopwafels (famous cookies in Holland)
I love it! I'm almost to finish the pack and never stop chowing!

Love notes for me


Thank you so much Shirley for holding an amazing giveaway!


Ciao~!

Weekend Haul

Hello ladies! Today, I've been in 3 malls because I'm hunting some Life and Companion Brushes! Where the heck are they? I failed this time again! Anyway, after 3 years I stepped to Cubao Farmers again! I mean, I always pass by that area but never go to malls or stop by. So, I bought some items from Careline I got 1 blush on and 1 loose e/s duo, actually I don't have plan to buy an e/s but since it was sale, who could resist it? from 80 pesos($1.50?) it became 50 pesos($1). As I roamed around the mall seeking for Life and Companion, I passed by to this store U.S 99 store (am i right?) and got some really sweet deal! L.A Colors E/S was on 20% sale! from Php99($2) it became Php80($1.50) not bad huh? I saw LA Colors, Jordana, Jordache , Cover girl, L'oreal, Maybelline and Beauty Treats in a very tempting price! Surely, I'll go back for moooore!

Maybelline EyeStudio Lasting Drama Gel Liner

Hello ladies!! Sorry for lack of updates because of what am I going through but today enough for the drama and I'll survive, yeah~! hehe.. As I promise to my girls that I'm going to review Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Liner (whoa super long name *grasping*) and not going to compare to others since this is my first ever gel liner and here it is:

Maybelline EyeStudio Lasting Drama Gel Liner (stated on the box):

• Comes with Expert Liner Brush
• Quick Dry
• Smudge Proof
• Water Proof
• Creamy gel texture
• It comes in Black, Brown and Blue (limited edition)
• it cost 399php ($7?)
  
• Available on SM malls
  

Creamy gel type allows to draw a draw a smooth clean fine without crease.
Customized eye line brush allows line to be drawn as desired from fine to thick.
The creamy gel texture dries quickly after application.
Long lasting, water-proof and smudge-proof formula that resists sweat, tears and water.

It is a nice creamy gel so it applied very smoothly and no scent!!!

The brush was dense, tapered and fairly stiff bristle.

I make some experiment, I applied gel liner on my skin and drop a water on it
then I rub about 2 times to check if its going to smudge or fade.
The result was really impressive.

I never had this perfect liner before when I'm using liquid liner.
It was very easy to pick up color and to apply it

Upon applying, it can take a couple of seconds to dry, so don’t blink too much or it might transfer.Once applied, it lasted on me the whole day without smudging so I’m giving this the thumbs up!

SkinFood Agave Cactus BB cream

Hello ladies! How's your weekend? Anyway, thank you for some luvin' comments from my last post and I really feel relieved when I realized that I'm not alone. Thank you sooo much!

Skin Food Agave Cactus BB cream:
- has SPF 36PA+++
- Comes in a squeeze tube with an attached sponge (detachable) for application

- Oil free makeup and skincare 2-in-1 with sunscreen
- Makes skin feel cool, hydrated and soft yet offers good coverage
- Acts as a foundation that covers blemishes and evens out skin tone
- Complexion looks naturally air-brushed, clear and fresh after application
- Can be applied alone conveniently for a dewy look or dust with some loose powder for a matte look
- Can also be applied as a foundation or as a makeup base before your foundation

I finally finish my last sample of Skin Food Agave Cactus BB cream. Honestly, I wanted to skip this product because of the smell is like ointment for anti-dizziness which reminded me of my grandmother. Unlike Missha BB cream, Skin Food Agave's coverage was really unimpressive, I can see clearly my blemishes and big pores. Staying power is not good also, after 2 hours my skin became OILY like a greased pan you can cook an egg on my face already. True enough this BB cream replenish moisture on my face because it replenished moisture on my skin near my lips! It's flaky like my dried up saliva when I woke up every morning! haha! I really hate it! So after using this BB cream those flakiness has gone for good I hope so.I highly recommend this BB Cream for those who suffer from dehydrated skin but not suitable for oily skin nor combi!

shade #1 fits NC25.

not good coverage

sorry for the fugly pic ^_^

I gave justice to this product, no flakiness near my lips

Likes:

• good hydration
• it has SPF 36PA+++
• locally available
• Slight dewy finish

Dislikes:

• Sheer coverage
• smells like ointment
• oil control up to 2hrs
• thick texture
• hard to blend
• 2 shades but hardly to find the another one

Ratings:

Do I rate it fairly?

Ciao~!
