Review

We finally got around to trying out the Mugshots I received last week (see past post here), and helping out with the whole process was my very helpful ("Me do it! Me do it!") niece Maddie.

When I was told that I was to cover the Clinique Find your Perfect Match Event, I immediately thought I was supposed to meet cute guys and date. I got scared, and thought...wait a minute, I don’t think I’m ready for this! But I forced myself to relax, I figured, maybe it’s a match for the right make up...I was right!

The first time I voluntarily picked up a blush and swiped some on my cheeks was when Amanda Griffin proclaimed that it was her favorite makeup item and what she puts on when pressed for time. That sealed the deal for me,  because if Amanda Griffin endorsed rosy pink cheeks then I had to try it out for myself.

I tend to go for lip and cheek tints because they're easier to apply and don't need any special brushes to use, making them perfect for mid-day touch-ups. Besides, the two in one use means it's more bang for my buck, and c'mon we could always use a little more pocket change.

When she started her blog Provenciana a few years back, I wonder if Apol Lejano-Massebieau had an inkling that it would eventually be made into a book one day?

I regularly lurked at her blog when it was still up and her blog posts were always so well-written and well thought of, almost as if they were just waiting to be printed on paper. Which brings me to conclude that themed blogs are really the best, because of the discipline you impose on yourself to stick to your subject and to avoid those meandering "What did I do today" posts (ouch.)

I was never a firm believer in product lines as I always saw it as some sort of insidious marketing ploy to trick the consumer to buying into an entire range of overrated products (i.e. "Use X soap with X-1 body scrub to expedite skin whitening, afterwards, slather on X-1.1 body lotion to keep skin radiant and rosy white all over"). So is the Clean & Clear Active Clear Control Kit all hype as well? Read on.

I have always wanted "flutter-ready" lashes, so when an opportunity came to review Lavish Lashes Studio, a professional eyelash extension shop, I readily said yes.
