Dear Santa,

I’m sending my Christmas wish list over early for hassle free shopping! :mrgreen:

1. Everything in outfit #2 (middle) plus patent jacket in outfit #3 (right)

Both the vest and jacket are from Zara. Image lifted from this month’s Marie Claire Philippines.

2. YSL TOP SECRETS Flash Radiance Skincare Brush

With a single brush stroke, signs of fatigue are erased, and skin is left feeling velvety smooth and fresh with radiance! This high-performance formula combines all the benefits of a skincare product with the precision and ease of a brush, the silky and comfortable texture glides over the skin, leaving it feeling incredibly fresh and invigorated.

A blend of energizing active ingredients combine the Grain of Paradise extract with caffeine to erase signs of fatigue. On the skin’s surface, light-reflecting micro-pigments are able to capture and diffuse light, to reduce skin imperfections and boost radiance.

A seaweed derived sugar forms a veil that maintains moisture on the surface of the skin and protects it against external threats.

Wheat proteins combined with sugar extracted from oats and a silcon elastomer allow for the formula to quickly smooth fine lines, leaving it feeling soft and velvety. Source.

I was madly in love with Bare Escentuals’ bareVitamins Prime Time until I got to try this. Not only did it make my skin look better under MMU but also made application super easy (skin’s ready about 2minutes after application). I got my last brush from Rustan’s about 4 months ago for nearly Php3000. Hope the price tag hasn’t hiked up yet!

3. The Charm Travel Pro Brush Set


I have enough brushes to make a broom to sweep the house but I can’t resist this set! I got my hands on them two weeks ago and they’re too soft, too soft. Definitely of PRO quality. Best part? They’re shorthandled! I don’t have to cut the handles to make application really close to the mirror easy! :lol: Totally a steal for only Php1500 or US$38 (pre-buy rate) at Beauty and Minerals.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE my new Tibetan oxhorn bangle from the Bohemian Nation Trading Corp.*! I got it last Thursday night for only Php 325!


Under fluorescent light + flash

FOUNDATION: ARTDECO Rich Treatment Foundation in 15
SETTING POWDER: MUFE HD Powder
LINER: MAC Powerpoint in ENGRAVED
LIPS: MAC Lipstick in SO SCARLET

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the color of my hair in that photo! I bounced the flash on my hot pink walls and that’s the color I got! I should take this photo to my colorist, no?

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the finish of ARTDECO Rich Treatment Foundation (Php 1200 at SM Makati)! I’ve been using this for two weeks now and am telling you, this is one of the best liquid foundations I’ve ever tried! Highly comparable to DiorSkin Forever Extreme Wear Flawless Makeup. It feels too light to touch after setting with finishing powder, I swear you’ll even forget you have something on your face.
