Physicians Formula Mineral Makeup

Yeah I know this is not really a makeup haul entry coz im not the one who bought this :P

My mother-in-law just arrived recently from her trip to US to attend her youngest daughter's wedding. It was a blast as they told me! Wish my hubby and I could be there too.... =(

Anyways, got these products as my pasalubong.. They know very well how i like makeups....Thanks mama..... =)

This is the first time I actually came across this brand "Physicians Formula". Well just from its

name I think their products cater those sensitive skin types. Here's what I found in their site...

"Only from Physicians Formula can you find the latest, innovative products made especially for sensitive skin. As the experts in bringing color correction to the masses (a concept previously used only by makeup artists), Physicians Formula continues to introduce unique and easy-to-use products that will help you hide those nasty imperfections and uncover a more beautiful-looking complexion. You can also look to Physicians Formula to introduce the latest department store concepts but without the department store price tag!

But this isn’t done at just any cost. From its inception in 1937, Physicians Formula remains steadfast in its pledge to create and manufacture high-quality, hypoallergenic cosmetic and skin care products. It is committed to creating innovative products that meet your specific needs while meeting the more rigorous standards of the cosmetic industry. In fact, many Physicians Formula products are so gentle that they are recommended by allergists, dermatologists and plastic surgeons.

The term hypoallergenic is more than just a cosmetic claim for Physicians Formula. It is the basis for every product that is created. Physicians Formula honors this claim through stringent product testing and quality control. In fact, Physicians Formula products are formulated without over 100 known irritating ingredients still found in many cosmetics on the market today.

However, this doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice fashion for your face. Although every Physicians Formula product is made with all the seriousness needed to produce gentle formulas, it is also created with all the fun and glamour that makes cosmetics the pleasure of women everywhere!"

Now this is a real savior for girls with problems in makeups. As they said no need to sacrifice fashion with Physicians Formula makeups.

I almost forgot, these are my new mineral makeup... Have to try them out in a while...... =)

Clayful Creations by Magda cayetano

Just another boring Saturday.... Nothing to do but surf the net since my hubby is at his magic tournament (AGAIN!!!!)...Youtube...email....chat.....Then I decided to open my facebook account...At first there's nothing interesting...But I came across such beautiful creation!!!! Learning that this person is a cousin of my best bud patty, I immediately called her and asked about this product. And luck is really by my side since she's at her cuzs house that time! ( super lucky) I ended up buying these super duper nice accessories.

she calls this i dream of sea

mosaic earings

big baby phat earings =)

emotiheart - angel necklace

the cameo necklace

And yes I'm definitely buying more....Can't wait for her new designs =)

Look of the day: Purple Day!!!!

It's been 2 weeks (or more...hehehe) since my last look of the day post. Got to lazy over the past weekends to doll up my face. Even if I go out, the most i can put on my face is just powder and lipstick. Maybe because I've got so many to do lists that's why I was not motivated enough.

Thank God for another long weekend! Another holiday celebrated for us Filipinos!(its our independence day last June 12. But since it fell on a Saturday, no office today Monday... =P )

This time I made sure that I'm gonna have my look of the day. Thinking what color to use gave me a small problem though. :P Today is also my cousin's birthday celebration and since i'm gonna be wearing a floral haltered dress that I bought at 168 mall, I decided to use purple shade to match my eyes with my outfit. For this look, I used my recent purchase from dollface cosmetics, the 42 palette. I super duper ever love this palette...Its now my favorite..The colors are just very rich and easy to blend and apply. I blended white, lilac and purple shades for this look. Eyeshadow I used are all shimmery ones./

Here's some of the pictures I took. (without flash)

Here's a closer look of my eyeshadow

Now here's some random pics of me with flash

Makeup Haul: Dollface Cosmetics

Exactly one year ago I'm the type of person who doesn't want to do transactions via the net....Very scared that people will just fool me by not delivering the purchases i placed online....Then I came across this makeup palette in the ebay that i couldn't resist buying...I told myself, "just one time...i'll try..." And thank god the seller was so nice and kind to assure that the transaction will be smooth and i'll get the package by tomorrow....So thinking, she seems nice and credible i placed the order (but still having fears inside hehehe)....True enough the package came and I was very satisfied....I told myself then, I'm definitely gonna buy makeups and brushes from her again.....I promised myself that whenever I have extra money on my purse, her products are definitely at the top of my shopping list.....And because it's June now......Yes one of my favorite months because we get to have our mid-year bonus, here's the items i newly purchased....Haven't tested them yet...that will have to follow on a separate entry here......

my package arrived tightly secured.....thanks pearl =)

here's the 32 shimmer eyeshadow palette...but wait...there's a surprise...

Rebonded hair no more....Back to bouncy curls =)

For almost a year now, I've always been thinking (and itching lol) to get my hair permed again...But this time, I dont want to have the traditional/artisitic perm like the one I tried after my wedding....I want big bouncy curls!!!!! When I inquired about it at the previous salon where I got my traditional perm, they told me that this look can only be achieved by Digital Perm....OK so I asked how much will it cost for my hair length and they said that its costs a whooping P5,000!!!! There's no way I'm gonna spend that much money for vanity....I mean, the farthest I could go for my hair is P4000. That was when I had my hair rebonded....(It took me months to decide if I will spend that much money before thats how thrifty i am :P)....That was my reason at that time to give up the idea of getting digiperm....

Then came one day, I came across a forum in girltalk about hair perming (am so thankful to this forum).....In there, they tackled everything about perming....From digiperm, good salons to get this, after care (maintenance), products to use to keep the perm.....After reading (god knows how many pages...) I came across the salon BEAUTY BRICK....According to the girls there, the stylist/owner Mr. Shin is a genius when it comes to perming....Now I can attest to that...HE IS INDEED A GENIUS...... I LOVE how my hair turned out......The curls are still tight by now because they were blow dryed.....But he said it will loosen a little bit after shampooing.... Well enough stories....Here's my new look!!!!! I think it will take a long time before I sport straight hair again :)

Here's how the salon looks like from outside

A full view of my curls =)

Hmmm....need to color my hair again....regrowth is already long...too bad i have to ait for 3 weeks


For the final verdict.....Yes!!!! I'll definitely have my hair serviced again by Beauty Brick Salon....Again..Thanks to Mr Shin and all his staff....

Korean Invasion.....the etude house

from acting, singing, fashion, trends, tourists....name it!!!!! the koreans are indeed very in nowadays specially for us filipinos....for me, i started liking them by their heart melting novelas...who could ever forget jodi and cholo from stairway to heaven??? i can still remember going to office without sleep just to watch the full episode....(yeah talk about korean novela marathon.....) and look at how we patronize their music...from nobody of the wonder girls to 2NE1 of course because of Sandy =).....

but one thing i adore about them the most is this makeup brand.....the etude house.....i simply LOOVVEEEE this store.....i can share my reasons for liking it:

1. the store itself is sooooo cute and captivating....why you may ask??? because its like Barbie's house....everywhere you look you see cute stuff in PINK!!!! here's how it looks like...

i soo love this store....if ever ill have my own dressing room, ill definitely want it exactly like this =)

2. there are a lot of products to choose from....and all of them have cute packaging which makes you want to buy them all...here's the products i already bought/tried....got the product info from the global etude site.....

- Essence-In Foundation SPF22/PA+
Content: 30 ml

Concept: Moisture cream formulated liquid foundation coverage moisturizes and tightens
complexion with flawless coverage.
Description: Formulated with moisture cream for smooth application and skin brightened expression . Baobab Tree Extract + Collagen promote moist, youthful complexion
UV protection liquid foundation coverage
My say on the product: I so love this foundation....It really gives me that tight, flawless look...This is the fondie i used on my sister in my previos post and also on the silver and blue smokey eye look that i did..... the only negative thing i can comment is that it only comes in 2 shades.... 1 (for fair skin) 2 (their darkest color).....if i dont mix this with a darker fondie.....it doesnt look that good in pictures because the face is whiter than my body and neck....but nonetheless i still like it =)

-Moistfull Collagen Cream

Content: 50 ml
Concept: Moisturizing and tightening cream improves complexion look and feel with concentrated Baobab Tree extract and Collagen formula.
Description: Concentrated Baobab Tree + Collagen content for advanced moisturizing and tightening. Supplies noticeably tightened sensation and results
Baobab Tree + Collagen combination improves dermal structure and moisture retention
My say on the product: This is the best moisturizer ive tried so far. it really gave me that tight, young looking skin! ive been using this for over a month now. and all i can say is im loving it even more.....its not too heavy when you apply it but it really keeps my face moisturized.

- Ms. Twinkle MiniMe Cologne
now this one they dont have any description/info yet posted in their site. the one i have is Ms. Twinkle. there are 5 scents to choose from. all smell nice but this is the one i like best.

- Oh~m’EYE Lash Maxi Volume

Content: 8g
Concept: Eyelash Serenade for a Princess
Description: Volume Black Mascara promotes lush eyelashes
My say on the product: this one makes my lashes look thick. gives the right volume on my lashes


i also got myself my first stippling brush. cant really say that much right now cause i dont have any other stippling brush (from other brands) to compare with.....


well so far these are all ive got from etude....got to go back there again to try more products...hopefully tomorrow since its payday....wohoo!!!!
