Nars - My Christmas Gift




Christmas around the corner, beauty deals launches, special packages of beauty palettes that only comes around this time of the year. From gifts to stock fillers and a wide range from the Beauty Makeup gifts. My first Nar's Lip Pencils that I've wanted to try this year but couldn't justify for a Lip Pencil Paying $25 for each. So when Nar's brought their Digital World Lip Pencil Coffet my eyes just went bigger.  Retails for $49 a $96 value at Sephora. Such a gorgeous Palette, can we just stare at the packaging.......
 Great value for money and Lip colors are amazing. What else can you want? So I decided to treat my self to this palette and I'm SO happy. Of course with the help of Sephora because they send me a $20 reward for this Christmas isn't that nice/cool. That justifies it once more to get it plus each of them came to $6 A Nars Lip Pencil?! can't be any happier than that. This just made my day and I am so excited to be wearing my Nar's Lip Pencils.
 I can hear the jingles ringing, since it has Christmas one day closer, Oh ya! I will definitely will be going for the Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Cruella to make it count.

                                                                                                                      KISSES!

The Eyelash Curler


Don't know when I started to curl my eyelashes but I have been curling my eyelashes for a quite a few years. I remember watching an add on TV about curling your eyelashes and seeing the results as as if you has fake eyelashes. Couldn't think the fact that I would love an eye-curler we were so opposite like water and oil. Every time I would pinch/bite my eye lash-eyelid it would make me cry because I would snap a little piece of my eyelids. Ouch!

After a few years practicing and being more gentle and not scare I am a Pro. Yay! Got  hooked up and love how my eyelashes look long, curled, pointing up to the sky. My current eyelash curler is from Cleanlogic.

Love it got it at TJMax but the one that is on my wish list is the Shu Uemura. Have heard so much good things about it especially what does to your eyelashes. I will just have to wait and see, right? FYI: I want a rose gold is that too much to ask??

Revive - Makeup Blending Applicator

This is my third Makeup Blender Applicator which is in a different brand. I guess to justify in buying the most hype which is the beauty blender. But I can't justify spending for $20 for a makeup sponge.
I went to pick up a note book that I need for 2015 at T J Max browsing through the aisle since I love all their unique items they carry since they have a beauty department. Found this gorgeous pink makeup sponge blender that looks exactly like the Beauty Blender. It is just a little bit semi-hard  but okay.... to start, wet the sponge and squeeze all the water. Then I would use Foundation/Liquid or BB Creams on the sponge. I dab it on my face till when I want to achieve the look or a natural makeup look. Leaves my skin flawless, not caky when using the Revive Makeup Sponge.  
If you are in a budget I would recommend this one plus its affordable. FYI: The Beauty Blender is still on my wish list (chuckles). As for now this will do its job because it does work and I like it. Plus the pink color sponge makes it more like-able.

Wishes we all have I believe more than a thousand if we are good in life. Share your wishes in giving as well with Bath & Body Works Par-fume. Gorgeous bottle.... making it look luxury every one's wish. Notes of Sparkling Champagne, Twinkling Star Fruit, Crystal Peonies and Almond Creme. It sure does have a unique scent reminding you A Thousand Wishes inside the glass bottle.



Warms your heart with its fragrance notes. Making it perfect for Christmas. What?

It balancing formula that creates a natural-look finish on your skin feels like you have a new layer of fresh skin. Smooth, youthful-looking, pretty much you don't feel like if you have any makeup on you.
