SOFT GEL NAILS

Been crazy about soft gel nails ever since I decided they are worth the hefty investment as compared to manicures that either chip easily or weaken my nails. On the contrary, my nails have never been stronger! :D

Nov-Dec 2010: $148

Jan-Feb 2011: $128

My boyfriend thinks I’m really crazy to spend so much on my nails but they make me happy & that’s all it matters, doesn’t it? :)

ADDICTED TO GUERLAIN

So, it’s no secret that I’m crazy about makeup but the best things about working in a beauty company is that I have access to private internal sales & product allowances that brightens my day every now & then :)

And when I mean private internal sales, it’s only open to employees so it’s impossible to even share, sorry! :(

MY INTERNAL SALES STASH

Total damage: $100+ I bought the above during the last 15 minutes of the 3-hour sale & I could have bought more but too bad, I was too caught up with work. Anyway, just in case you don’t know, stuff that are sold very cheap prices at sales are usually so because they are nearing expiry. I don’t have qualms using expired stuff on my face because unless it gives me an immediate breakout, I won’t hesitate to keep it for a good 5 years. So if you’re hesitant, then I don’t suggest that you stock up on such items at sales :P

MY PRODUCT ALLOWANCE

As Guerlain is 1 of the few makeup brands that my current company distributes, I decided to take the opportunity to try some of the products. And I absolutely adore the luxury packaging that comes with every product!

I’ve had mixed reactions from people around me when I shared news of the products; some praise the brand, some refrain due to bad experiences… & I was kinda worried so I decided to try all the makeup I bought… & I loved the results :D

This was taken after 4 hours of clubbing and the eye makeup still looks fantastic! Guerlain products used include Guerlain Precious Light, Guerlain Meteorites (Makeup Base & Powder), Guerlain Duo Corrector & Guerlain Eyeshadows.

MAKING UP: CHRISTMAS’10

No girl can refuse having their face dolled up, unless they aren’t the least vain at all. Even if you hardly wear makeup, you can’t deny the wonders of makeup & the magical feeling it brings you! So don’t give yourself excuses anymore, you only live life once! Start taking care of your skin & looks~

Long-Lasting Red Lips

Red lips are never out-dated. And so it happens, red lips seem to be the ‘”rage” this season! With the right combination of colors, you can be sure to attain a sophisticated look if you set your heart on it ;)

It’s not that difficult to achieve long-lasting red lips these days. To choose the kind of red lipsticks suitable for yourself, I suggest reading How to Rock Red Lipstick & learn from Sam Fine which hue of red suits you best!

Are you a Orangey Red, a True Red, or Deep Red? :)
