What Kind of Butterfly Am I?

Digital Angel asks us "What Kind Of Butterfly Are You?" So I thought of shooting 2 birds in one stone.

I planned on doing my version of a "butterfly" look and use the 78pcs palette she gave me! Thanks again for the palette, I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!

Here's my inspiration

Let me do a diagram first

Products Used ---

1. 78pcs Palette's Green (inner corner of the eye - up and down)

2. 78pcs Palette's Shimmery Yellow (middle area of the eye)



3. 78pcs Palette's Dark Brown (outer v, blend blend blend)


4. Shimmery white (sorry forgot to take a shot) - as highlighter
Not shown on diagram ---

• Stila Smudgepots in Black
• Paul & Joe Curly Mascara in Black
  

And here's my version of a "Green, Yellow and Brown" Butterfly

Side by Side comparison :)

I honestly enjoy doing inspiration looks!
I enjoyed using my 78pcs palette!
I want to thank my readers who have "Cyber Hugged" me!
SMILE!!!!

Askmewhats Reviews: CoverGirl WetSlicks AmazeMint in Toast-ed

As seen in my previous post, I won this CG Wet Slicks Amaze Mint together with other cool stuffs. I've given this product a try the moment I received this. I've been using this for more than a week. Meaning, right time to give this baby a review.

Here's how the product looks.
Physical check, you'll think this is too brownish and dark.

If swatched, here's now it looks like, brown with peachy tone

CG says ---

CoverGirl Wetslicks Amazemint isn't just a lipgloss, it's a smile treatment! Crest Peppermint Oil provides a minty breath sensation while the gloss itself gives a dazzling high-shine without all that "sticky".

• With Crest Peppermint Oil
• Brightens your smile
• Feels like a balm
• Lasting high-shine

Askmewhats says ---

Pros

• non-sticky, again using the "kiss hubby" test *winks* I love testing lip products! LOL
  
• non-drying
• lasts approx. 3 hours of continuous talking, drank 2x (for me, this is already good for a gloss)
• packaging is just right, not too big or too small
• I love the minty feeling, it definitely feels like a balm
  

Cons

• it has minty PLUS chocolate-y flavor and scent. I find the chocolate scent OK but after continuous usage, and on "not so good" days, this bothers me
• I don't think we have it available here locally (correct me if I'm wrong)
  

Overall

This is a cool gloss because of it's Peppermint oil, it soothes my dry lips and I find the color really pretty and flattering. I tested this to my friends and I would say it looks great on them as well. I like the fact that it is a gloss, it's not too dark, but it does cover the "lines" on my lips.

Tips

• though glosses are high shine, I still recommend to use your favorite lipbalm to protect your lips before putting anything else.
• do not rub your lips together too much if you're using a gloss, will cause lipgloss build up <-- not a pretty sight
  

Will I repurchase?
Yes, IF this gets to be available here! I have seen their website and they have a couple of shades I would purchase!

Find this useful?
Send me a *hug*
I needed this, such a loooonggg week! :D

Joppa Minerals Haul

One reason I don't purchase much MMU, is not because I don't like them. I am proud to say I am one of those few who purchased Bare Escentuals and I've been watching their DVDs again and again til I got my own "Swirl, Tap and Buff" moments. Trust me, it made my morning!!! :D

I haven't been buying any MMUs online as I am a "5 senses" person. I'd rather buy things, I see, I touch, I smell, I feel and funny to say, but the Hearing works as well! I'd love feedbacks from people I shop with. <-- you think I won't be able to explain this huh? lol

Anyways, that's where e/s samplers and blush samplers are handy! I know, I'm late, I'm a late MMU addict! But it's better late than never right?

I made my first order from Joppa Minerals when I saw a post from Nanzy of Shizznizzle, since I am starting to love blushes, and she kept on raving about their blushes, I gotta try! I am not strong when it comes to temptation!!!

Here's my package just roughly after a week!!!

My Blush/Bronzer Sampler Eye Shadow Sampler Plus Free Joppa Lotion


Let me lay it down neatly for you! :) 54pcs e/s sampler

Here's my 22pcs Blush/Bronzer Samples

I just randomly swatched blushes that caught my attention
(NO BASE, just one swipe)


L-R Just Blushed, Sunkissed, Raspberry Ice and Tickle me Pink

I've transferred some samples to my PINK pots!
It is indeed addictive and I transferred the Joppa Stickers as well!

How do I feel about my first MMU samplers haul?
I am impressed with the shipping,
I am impressed with the colors and the quality!
Will I repurchase?
uhhh...ahh...ooohhh... YES...lol

**thanks to sis Sophie for the lovely shots! I just realized, we didn't have a complete group shot!

Jheng wanted to try the 24pcs nail art pens so I texted her that I'll be handing it to her personally as I wanted to see her again too! :) I am so excited to know that she's with Sophie and Shen. I got really excited but I got stuck at the SM Makati sale! LOL It took me some time to reach Gloria Jeans (sorry girls! I am not the late type)

When we finally meet, it's like long time friends who haven't met for decades and we were chatting and laughing like there's no tomorrow! :P I love all their newly painted nails!

Me playing with Jheng's newly purchased nail art pens!

I hope to see you girls again!!!!
