My Wishlist Is Blushing!

I've been going on and on and on about Majolica Majorca lately. It seems it's the only thing that I want so so so much! Looking at the net (because we have no store here that sell it) is a huge thing, and I waste 10 minutes daily going to the Majolica Majorca site just to look at the cutest things in my world... Although I already have some of their products, I can't help but want more more more. I want 5 of each powder type, each shadow color, eye products... And now I want these! So very, very, very much... I'm NEVER EVER a blush person... I feel like my dark coloring isn't suited for blushes :( Plus, I don't even BLUSH anyway, so it would feel kind of unnatural. When I'm embarrassed, I don't flush or turn pink, I sweat like a pig instead. OH WHY CAN'T I BE DAINTY AND GIRLY?! :D Now I want to collect all the blushes from the Majolica Majorca line because I've heard amazing reviews about them. Especially OR211! I would love to get them all one

Hitting Pan on Majolica Majorca Pressed Pore Cover

I AM SO SAD BUT SO HAPPY! Notice that the pan on the MM powder is black. I switched my MM Pressed Pore cover from the original Skin Remaker -- because the cake foundation smell of the latter got the best of me! I love love love love love this shit. I've hit pan so I'm trying all I can to contact sellers to provide me with the refill. Here it is inside the original cover. Mysterious but elegant. I love the MM 24H Fantasia, too, as it is the opposite of the powder casing below, very white and sweet looking! But I love them both for their function anyway. Here it is... showing you the pristine powder! It looks pretty light in the picture, but I discovered that this is almost a transparent powder. It is so finely milled that it sets very naturally to your original skin tone. My friend who has heard of the way some people compare Mac Blot Powder to Majolica Majorca powder. I haven;t really tried anything out by Mac except their concealer. I wonder how true those claims are... Toodle

Ohisashiburi desu ne~ Love Packages!

Heya! HOW ARRRREEE YOUUU GUYS!!! Off of blogger, I got so much impromptu vacationing and serious work mode done, it's crazy :D I wonder how you all are doing and I terribly miss blogging so much. I especially miss this little corner. While I was away, I got two packages from overseas. One was from Jol and another one from a good blogger friend of mine from UK! These love packages are just so miraculous, they brighten up one's day INSTANTANEOUSLY and just whams and bams all of the day's sad things away. Jol is such a lovely girl to send me these wonderful My Beauty Diary and Face Q Sheet Masks! I am in love with them and I was just so grateful to her for sending me one of my most wishlisted items! These are the contents: I LOOOOVE THEM! Couldn't wait to try them out, actually! Thank you super super super. Now I can get to try them for myself and see what the fuss is all about! LOLJK! I've stuck to Missha and Etude masks for so long. There are no local sellers here

All that Excitement, Need to R and R!

The past few days have been such a busy time for me work-wise, even the weekends! Plus all that excitement from the jewelry giveaway (but it was sooo fun! :D )... I love relaxing and there's no better way to relax than pampering yourself silly. Good thing I bought Missha Sheet Mask in Green Tea at my favorite Korean beauty store. This wonderful, wonderful Green Tea mask is super refreshing to the skin and I love how cooling it is and how it gives enough hydration. I have to be honest though that this mask is quite the drippy kind! A bit of fluid left over after you take the mask out. Me, chilling in my room, reading The War of Don Emmanuel's Nether Parts by Louis de Bernieres and listening to Sharin no Uta album by Bump of Chicken while waiting 20-30 mins until my skin soaks it all up. I have no idea what a green tea smells like but the smell of Missha Sheet Mask Green Tea is very calming and makes me feel relaxed. This is my first time to try this and I am very very pleas

De-stressing with Montagne Jeunesse Chocolate Masque

Hey guys! How are you all? When the weekend rolls in, I can't help but want to pamper myself silly! It's like somehow de-stressing oneself. Or more like getting ready for the next set of challenges in the upcoming days by preparing oneself fully. I have a stressful job that I very much like, so I have to get rid of all those negative vibes and impurities and start anew when the busy weekday comes!. Unlike most girls I know, I don't really like going to the dermatologist/salons to get facials. I don't want needles poking my skin, I am uncomfortable with the word "microdermabrasion" or the idea of harsh chemicals burning off dead skin cells. I dunno, but I'm kinda scared of all of it. I like organic creams, friendly-looking fruity masks and deep cleansing via gentle face scrubs! Aren't those less scary? I like when things are less scary! Since today is Sunday, I got up early to start my 'pampering' since I have a date with the boyfrun, too. Earli

Majolica Majorca Haul & Shiseido Tsubaki

Hi gals! Don’t you just heart packages? With lots and lots of lovely loots? (Wow, alliteration!) I just had a package arrive yesterday and I was so thrilled to realize that they were my Majolica Majorca stuff from Japan. Asian brands are a huge thing for me, and there are very few that I can get my hands on without breaking my budget. I had to resort to ordering online most of the time, since the Asian make up on various stores have so jacked up a price! I have a thing for Majolica Majorca, it is my most faaaavorite make-up brand ever. If I could stick to one make up brand for the rest of my life, it would be this brand. I don't think I personally need MAC, MUFE, Stila, Benefit and what not. I am totally focused on this brand. Majolica Majorca Powder Gold Case with Skin Remaker Foundation This was at the TOPMOST of my wishlist!! Now I have it!! I feel absolutely like a princess when I use this. The compact is very light, and the design is to die for. I'm going to research thi
