Open House at Clinique

The other event that I attended before I left for abroad was Clinique’s Open House where everybody and anybody can try out their makeup to their hearts’ content, ask questions, get makeovers and get skin consultations from the three lovely beauty experts – Ms. Malou, Ms. Dindin and Ms. Baby. The event was held on a Friday and I was due to fly on the first flight out the next morning and I haven’t even finished packing yet but Clinique is a brand that is so dear to my heart, so how can I say no? So I went there, fingers crossed that I’ll still be able to have the strength to finish everything I have to do afterwards.

I took my cousin C at this event. She’s 16 and she will be starting her college life in June so I asked Ms. Dindin to teach her a few tricks. Aside from skincare, Dindin taught her how to apply makeup on herself.

This is a classic Clinique technique where they do one side of your face then you do the other while they observe.

So where was I while all of this was happening? I was on the makeup bar enjoying all the makeup that I could get my hands on!

Later that afternoon, Charles paid a visit to the counter to get her makeup done as she was celebrating her birthday!
Dindin also did her makeup (and hair!). Isn’t she gorgeous?

We were both wearing purple that day and Dindin was laughing so hard. She had an idea and gave us each a purple balloon:

I really had fun that day.  I was able to learn a few tricks, I got the chance to try out their products that I’m not familiar with plus I got to see Charles again! We met at the SuperSale Bazaar at The Grove. She’s a super Hyphen client! Cathy was also very happy with her makeup that day that she went back for a touch up! LOL.

Watch out for more Clinique news. We’re cooking up a storm!

Soul Notes: For Your Journal Tonight

Come sit with me for a while. I have my journal open, and tonight I’ve been thinking about something I suspect I do more often than I realize. I turn healing into another thing I need to accomplish. I want to know when I’ll be over something. When I’ll stop thinking about it. When something that hurt will finally stop hurting. When I’ll feel like myself again. And somewhere along the way, healing quietly becomes another deadline. Another invisible date on a calendar. Another thing I can somehow be late for. But maybe healing doesn’t work particularly well under project management. Maybe there are things I will understand quickly and things I’ll have to revisit again and again. Maybe I’ll feel completely fine one day and unexpectedly tender the next. That doesn’t mean I’ve gone backwards. It means I’m still moving through it. I remember one day, many years ago, when I had fibromyalgia. I lived in constant pain. I just couldn’t get a good day. And then one day, in the office...

Used to the Last Drop: The Ones I’d Already Told You About

  There’s something particularly satisfying about finishing a product you’ve already written about. Not testing it. Not forming first impressions. Not wondering whether I’ll still like it three weeks from now. Finished. My Molang Honey sheet masks and this body scrub both made it all the way to the end. (Finally for the Molang sheet masks, right?) I’ve reviewed both before, so I won’t review them all over again here. But perhaps using something until there is nothing left to use is its own kind of review. Beauty products come through my bathroom rather frequently. Some are lovely for a week. Some get pushed to the back of a shelf. Some simply stop working for me. And then there are the ones that quietly disappear because I kept reaching for them. Maybe an empty container is the shortest review of all. I liked it enough to finish it. If you want to read my thought about these products, just type them on my search bar. —- With elegance and quiet fire, Lady E Founder, Glow by Lady E...

The Pleasure of Leaving It Behind

  I really liked this dress. Enough that I stood there looking at it for far longer than necessary, having that familiar little debate with myself. It was black. Simple. Very me. I could already imagine how I would wear it. There was only one problem. The fabric was thick. And perhaps in another climate, or another version of my life, that wouldn’t matter very much. But I live in the Philippines. We’re going through El Niño. Heat and I are already not particularly good friends, and my histamine sensitivity has made me even less willing to wear something that might leave me uncomfortable simply because it looks good. Still, I stood there. Because sometimes walking away from something we like is strangely difficult, even when we already know it isn’t right for us. We start negotiating. Maybe I’ll only wear it indoors. Maybe the fabric isn’t that thick. Maybe I’ll regret leaving it behind. Then I realized I was trying awfully hard to convince myself to buy something my body had alrea...
