The Shopaholic In Me

Thankful to the client who game me this new scent…

I am loving it now. It’s my first time to use Incanto series but not my first with Salvatore Ferragamo. I have always love the classic Ferragamo scent. A number of friends are recommending the Incanto Series. Apparently, there are different scents available as well like: Bloom, Bliss and Charms. I have yet to try and check the others when I go to the mall. For the meantime, I am lucky to be blessed with generous clients. I have not bought any perfumes recently because a client will always gives me one. Thank God for them!

When it comes to summer fashion, the makeup you use can really seal the deal.  It’s true that accessories like abazias jewelry are important to complete a look, but wearing bold makeup is just an important. This year’s makeup trends can range from natural to bold, but the bold looks are something very different this year.  Instead of neutrals and common color palettes, eye makeup almost seems to emulate the wide-eyed innocence and colors of Japanese anime. The colors don’t even have to appear coordinated between lips and eyes to work this season. Here are some ideas for eye makeup to complement your fashion style.

Daring Eye Shadow Colors

You can spot red eye shadow this season – a new and exotic look – but, that’s just the start. Bright blues and yellows are also present this season. Electric greens and oranges will fire up your eyelids and make them glow, even in broad daylight. To get the anime look, you have to outline the eyes with black liner and use black eye-shadow as the frame on which your bold color sits.  Since you’ll get a lot of attention, you’ll want your skin to be as finished as possible to avoid drawing attention to skin imperfections on your face with the bold makeup.

Bright Lip Colors

You might thing that red eye shadow goes with red lips, but you’d be wrong. You can use pink lip color with red eye shadow or vice-versa. If you want a bigger contrast, leave the lips bare or use a natural tone. Lip colors can even mimic the eye colors, like blue lipstick with electric blue eye shadow.  However, don’t be afraid to use blue eye shadow with red lipstick. The key for this look is to have fun and let your cartoon character out. The look is sexy and child-like all at the same time, just like Japanese anime.

I bumped into an old-time friend about a month ago and have really noticed the change on her skin. I mean, it became clearer, fresher and she looks younger from the last time we met. I totally cannot hold back but I just had to ask her on how to remove pimples?  She used to have acne and was so surprised how she has totally improved her look. She told me that getting the right skin care is actually a trial and error thing. She had to try different products before she finally like the one she is currently using. She recommended it to me and in no time, I went to the store to get these…

With a month of use, I have noticed the improvement too so I guess I am sticking to this product for quite some time.

What could be a good facial regime? What is your favorite facial product? A good facial regime is cleansing, toning, clarifying and moisturizing. For one,need to use a very good cleansing bar or facial wash to remove dirts. Of course, to take out excess oil and to clarify more the face, a toner should be used. A scrub can be used as well atleast twice a week. More importantly, moisturizing the face is a regime that should not be missed. At least twice a month, a powerful and all natural mask should be used to help tighten skin and shrink pores while fighting acne. As per acsonix reviews, this brand actually lives up to that expectation. Now, considering to try it too.

Yes, it is, the acne face lotion that was prescribed to me by my dermatologist. After just two days of using it, looks like it is really working and making wonders on my skin.  Happiness!  I want to get back to my old self so getting rid of those pimples and blackheads would really make me smile today. I think the price I paid for this is actually worth it. I would be glad to show my dermatologist the improvement on my skin on my next visit to her.

I don’t think the an ordinary acne treatment would work on the 1, 2, 3, 4….7 pimples on my forehead! Waaah! So I decided to schedule an appointment with my dermatologist since I think I already need a professional help. The first thing I told my doctor is to help me get rid of those pimples. I also asked her the proper way in getting rid of blackheads especially around my nose and chin. She gave me a wonderful product but also very expensive I must say.  But I am just crossing my fingers that it would all be worth it as I am not very happy anymore on what i see when I face the mirror. My doctor promised a better skin for me in a week’s time.  Let’s see.

Yes, I went shopping ga-ga in Sephora store when we were in US. Bought a number of stuff there including a moisturizer with anti-wrinkle formula. I got the one which garnered the best wrinkle cream review. Of course, I got something from my favorite make-up brand too, BareMinerals! The package was valued at $82 because it has a Well-Rested eye brightener, High Shine Charisma eyecolor, Popular eye color, Glee Radiance All-over-Face color and a double ended lip color in Sticky Buns and a lip gloss in Muffin Top. But I got it for $36 only a special promotional box. It was a whole set that can make me flawlessly made-up for a regular meeting or even a party.

I am getting dry skins here because of the cold weather. I am worried that it may lead to acne.  The photo above was taken just a day after we arrived as we headed out to Promenade Mall in Temecula. It’s a mall very near my SIL’s place. I still look fresh in here. I hope I would continue to do so in the next two more weeks after tending to kids without a nanny and also for being up and running almost everyday. Otherwise, I might consider availing the blue acne light which has been recommended to me by friends who are from here. For the meantime, my reliable moisturizer is still doing the trick to cure my dry skins.

Aside from reading some acne treatment reviews that claims to have no side effects and has proven to be effective, I was busy looking for designs for a dress that I could wear when I actually become one of the Principal Sponsors on my cousin’s wedding in a couple of months. Yeah, I would be Though I am not so pleased with the idea but I’m accepting it anyway due to the fact that I could wear a gown made by one of my favorite designers in the country today. While I was browsing the internet, I saw this black dress by Ramona Keveza, which I am intending to use as one of my options for pegs of my dress design.   I so love the top detail of it

How I wish I have the same back bone as the model! Whew!

I hope to finally get a haircut!!!  Yes, I have a 10am schedule to the favorite stylist of my co-MBAP, Kelly. Thanks for the number girl! I hope I won’t chicken out as I really want a very short hair this time. As you know I have tried a number of hairstyles from here so I could better see which one would be appropriate. Let’s see if the stylist would also agree on what I want.  I hope I won’t regret the new hairstyle!
