Review #1: Emu Oil in with Lavender French Essential Oil
I hope my dermatologist is not reading this post because am ditching my Celeteque moisturizer for this tonight!!! Am in lurve with my lavender scented emu oil sample that am carting a full sized bottle soon (together wiv tiny samples of other scented variants). I use only one pump for the entire face and it’s left my skin soft and unbelievably oil free for 24 hours! No irritations after 2 days too!

I also read from the product info page that it’s good to soothe fresh tattoos and itchy skin. I used a tiny bit on my tat and it did relieve the itching!

Review #2: Luxurious Body Sugar Scrub in Honeysuckle Vines
This is absolutely one of the most moisturizing (it has olive oil, coconut oil, castor oil, emulsifying wax, cocoa butter, and shea butter!) and gentle scrubs I ever tried! On my second use, I already hate myself for not buying this in full size!!!

Review #3: Exotic Butters Body Cream in Rose
If you find The Body Shop’s body butter too thin and Bath and Body Works’ body butter too thick, then this is right for you! It goes on like thick cream but after smoothening, it makes your skin feel mighty soft. Am looking at the list of fragrances and am L-O-S-T what to get!

Review #4: Placental Cream
[3/24 UPDATE] I broke out I have 1, 2, 3…SIX zits!

While am cooking up a couple of reviews from last week’s loot, lemme share some sightings at the Nokia N82 Wireless Adventure II press con last Friday at the Makati Shangri-La:

It’s mighty unfair how this girl can look so well rested and fresh at 11am!

Discovery #1: My new hair color is TOO dark!
Discovery #2: I can now tie my hair into a mini half pony! It’s in that nasty “off” phase when all it does is fly away and not cooperate!

Is it just me or summer’s made you lazy to put make-up on as well?

Remember this?

The good
I got 2 post office claim cards last Wednesday. I claimed the goodies first thing last Thursday.

The bad
It’s still not my Fyrinnae stash, Lumiere Cosmetics loot #1, nor Valerie Beauty sale buys. It turned out to be Micah’s Buff’d orders (My goodness! Their foundation samples are PLENTY!) and our Lumiere Cosmetics loot #2.

The good
I found THREE HGs* out of the 4 items I ordered:

New HG foundation: Medium Golden Veena Velvet formula
(Light Medium Warm’s too light, thinking of selling it)
New finishing powder: Sand Silk Powder

New everyday crease color: Golden Chocolate

The bad
It will take forever for another Lumiere loot to arrive if I order the foundation in full size.

*le sigh* How’re your MMU loots, MMU addicts?
