Glow by Lady E

Here’s my best friend M with Prin. You might recognize her from my Clinique Makeover Workshop. She had the party look back then. Aside from the cupcakes, I also gave away these bangles to all my guests: The Clinique ladies got to choose theirs as well: Aside from the cupcakes and bangles, Clinique gave each and every one of my guests a Clinique Gift Bag. Even the guys received gifts. Here’s Lyn, that special girl who made the magical cupcakes, with her Gift Bag. I guess you can tell that she’s very happy. Each of the Gift Bags contains a personalized item. So if the guest has Type 2 skin, then she gets Type 2 skin products. Thank you Clinique for being so generous to my guests! Even my grandma (she’s 82 and celebrated her birthday just 17 days ago) got to take home Clinique stuff! I bought her a lipstick, toner and moisturizer. Now, my grandma is the original shopaholic. I got the shopaholic gene from her. She’s the one I was talking about in my previous posts about ...

I celebrated my 29th birthday at Clinique Rustan’s Makati last Saturday (my real birthday is the 27th). As you may already know, I am a huge fan of Clinique products. My skin regimen consists mostly of Clinique products. That is why, I was so touched and honored that Clinique offered to throw me a birthday party at the Makati counter. This is going to be a 2-part post as there are tons of photos! Let’s check out my birthday cupcakes first: These are from Captain’s Mix and Magic. You can email them at captainsmixandmagic@gmail.com or phone them at 0926 7450638. Look for Lyn.  Green is my favorite color and it also happens to be Clinique’s color so this cupcake is perrrrfect! Before the guests arrived, I had my makeup done by Prin, the makeup artist hired by Ms. Budit especially for the event. (Thank you Ms. Budit!!) Of course, you all know that my skin was prepped with Clinique’s 3-Step System, right? Choosing the right foundation shade: My guest and best frien...

So I decided that I wanted to detox last night. I went to Rustan’s to hang out and check out what’s new with my favorite brands. I got lucky because the Clinique Chubby Stick has just arrived. Will do a review on that soon. Oh, and if you’re a MAC fan, the Peacocky Collection is out now. Let’s focus on my Tomato haul. I was looking for a nice giveaway for my party on Saturday and I’ve been wracking my brains and annoying my friends since last week to no avail. When I was on my way to MB’s office, I saw the display at the Tomato boutique and found bangles! Yes! Problem solved! I won’t show the pics as some readers will be at the party. I want it to be a surprise of some sort. Tomato is having a promo and I was Php500 away from it so I bought a few things but went overboard (again, as usual). I like the camel and gray combination. I got this bag for Php750. I love Tomato bags as they last a very long time. All my Tomato bags (bought in college) are still in good condition. I’ve give...

I made this EOTD when I was feeling all sweet and pretty. Haha! Actually, this was after the Clinique Mini Makeover Workshop and I thought I'd fool around with my peach/pink/orange eyeshadows and came up with this: I used my Fashion 21 palette to create this look. Base: E/S #3 Crease and outer V: E/S#15 Outer V over E/S#15: E/S #27 Highlight: E/S #12 Sometimes unexpected color combinations turn out pretty. I'm going to experiment with more colors...and that's the reason why I want more palettes!
