Instantly Hydrate with Burt's Bees Cucumber & Sage Facial Cleansing Towelettes

It was wee hours of the night when I was in a rush for a lipstick swatch-fest (14 lipsticks to be exact) for a staff training of a prestigious skincare and lip care brand.  My skin was breaking out, my lips are dry and cracked from all the lip swatches.  I was extremely tired, but I knew I had to do it!  It was a job that I accepted and I always give 101%  

It was already 1:30am and I realized, my face makeup just won't stay!  My body is just too stressed and tired nothing would work!  Then I saw a pack of Burt's Bees Cucumber & Sage and thought: "Aside from the fact that cucumbers are great to lessen undereye puffiness, cucumbers can improve complexion by simply rejuvenate the skin!  Cucumbers are also known to help tighten pores and fade freckles."

Whatever they said, I just put a sheet on top of my face for a couple of minutes and voila!  The shoot went ahead and I finished everything in no time!

L’Oreal 24H Super Liner Waterproof Gel Eyeliner in Brown Review

Wow, I haven't been blogging about Gel Liners for quite some time!  Maybe, half a year?  And funny thing was, I have been using the new L’Oreal 24H Super Liner Waterproof Gel Eyeliner in Brown for quite some time and I finally realized I haven't created a proper review or entry about this pot!

This comes with a precise eyeliner brush (plus points by the way!)  and I can't help but reach out for this brush everytime I use this pot!  It feels like a match made in heaven!

If you ask me what to invest in when it comes to gel liners, my answer will always be very simple --- a brown for daytime and a black for nighttime!  Mix both together, you have a unique shade that gives an Oomph without too much drama!

How to Brighten Tired Eyes with just ONE product!

If you follow me on Snapchat, you'll probably see how much of an "owl" I am!  Yes, I can do so much because I sleep extremely late!  Well, blame my "owl-genes" my son even got it!  So one of my major makeup must-have nowadays or concealers and under eye brightener!  Because correcting and concealing will never be enough!  I have to go to the undereye brightening route to fake that complete rest!

Keep in mind though that I'm still a human being, so you will definitely see some darkness peeking through and of course, the huge bulge!  This is the most I can do with makeup, lessen the look of tiredness and I can achieve it with just ONE product!

Any guesses?

Maybelline Color Sensational LIPgradation Review

Happy Monday!  Weekend is over but I still feel over the top from last weekend's AMW Series of Workshop: Get Ready for Summer!  It was a huge success because I made all attendees happy!  But more about that soon when I get to look at photos (no time for that as of the moment with my busy schedule this week!)  Instead, I'm sharing a quick review on Maybelline's newest lip product called LIPgradation!  Have you heard or seen this newest innovation from MNY (Maybelline New York)?

When I saw this on Maybelline's Instagram account, I knew I had to grab them even if I own gazillion of lipsticks to date!  #exaggerated And here's a quick overview on how quick it is to create "ombre lips" OR full colored lips!  I prefer the latter, you be the judge by commenting below!

There are a total of 8 shades available and I got 3 out of the 8!

The shades I got are L-R Pink1, Fuchsia1 and Mauve1

Please don't ask me why there's a number 1 after the shade!  I just see them on the shade sticker!

Dove Deo Cares

That awkward stage when you first had your period then you are starting to grow hair on unwanted places.  I remembered around 12 years old, right after I got my period, I started to see a strand (or 2) of armpit hair (gosh!  TOO MUCH INFORMATION!)  But oh well, that's the truth!  I remembered rushing to my older sister (thank goodness I have older sister to lean on to!) and we even scheduled a bonding time after dinner for her to pluck that 2 strands of hair!  

Of course, puberty kicks in and that 2 strands multiplied into a number I couldn't imagine!  Okay, it wasn't a "lawn" but some aren't visible to the naked eye!  That's when I first purchased my "pink shaver" from a health store. Ahhh I remember how I felt so "mature" and a "full-pledged woman"!

Fast-forward to today, there are so many ways to remove unwanted hair.  With all the options, I still find myself going back to my trustee shaver especially since I don't have time to book an appointment outside!

Now, shaving maybe the quickest, easiest, least painful way to remove unwanted hair, did you know that shaving also takes off 1/3 of your skin?  ALong with your hair, shaving takes away the top-most-layer of your skin leaving it raw, sensitive and prone to further damage.  

That leads to bumpy, dry and dark underarms!

For women like me who can't give up shaving at times, it is good to pick a deodorant that will help soothe and repair damage caused by shaving!  

Thanks to my Sampleroom family for sending these Dove goodies and you girls can try before you buy! 

Dove Deodorant have 1/4 moisturizing cream and been formulated to moisturize underarm skin while protecting it with its gentle, skin-loving ingredients.  I also love how my underarm does not darken as compared to not using Dove at all!

My favorite Dove Deo is their Original Whitening Stick Deodorant
