Revlon Goes ThreeSixty

Before I left for my vacation, I attended two events (yeah, I know. Ngarag!). One is the launch of the new Revlon Colorbust Lip Gloss. Revlon may be a drugstore brand but it is, in my opinion, the number one cosmetics brand to utilize the latest technology in advertising and promotion. If you can remember, last year they used the touch screen technology of I Trixx to show you different looks using their makeup. This time around, they’ve gone up a notch higher. They still used the touch screen technology of ThreeSixty Marketing (formerly I Trixx) but with a twist – you can now take a photo of yourself and see exactly how the shades will look on you.

It’s quite simple actually. You just look at the camera and take a photo of yourself. Then the 360 guide will help you with the process. After that, you can just drag the colors to different parts of your face. No need for a makeup remover as dragging the colors automatically changes your look. Now if you don’t like makeovers in a public place, or if you’re too OC like me or just too shy to try out products, this technology is perfect for you!

(I will post pics of this in a separate post as my cam batt died. LOL)

Anyway, here are some photos of the mini event:

Don’t mind my look, I just came from makeup class and my MUA friends had a blast making a mohawk out of my hair.

I couldn’t believe how pigmented these glosses are! Jessica Alba was wearing one in the advertisement and it looked like she had lipstick underneath but it was all gloss!

Here are swatches:

From light to dark:
004 Pink ice glace rose
002 Crystal lilac

Whew! There are 14 shades in all so I guess it’s safe to say that there’s one for every personality!

I want the darker shades – Hot Pink, Orchid, Strawberry. I also like Fire and Gold dust for my traincase for client use. I wasn’t able to try one on as I already have lipstick on and I just don’t use testers (too OC) but I think these swatches are enough to convince me to purchase the above-mentioned shades.

The Revlon Colorburst Lip Gloss Retails for Php575. Stay tuned for part 2.

All About Eyes

Lately I’m finding myself obsessed with skin care products, prevention in particular. I'm not getting younger and nobody likes lines and wrinkles, right? I should have done this in my early twenties but those were hard times and we didn’t have enough to support our daily lives, let alone vanity splurges. So now, I’m on hyper mode. I did not place any expectations on this product. I’ve had it with products claiming they can do this and that. I just tried the product thinking that if it works then great, if not then I’ll just find a new one. I wasn’t expecting a dramatic change but 2 weeks into using this product, I noticed that my under eye area has become lighter. The lines are also not as deep as they were before I used this product. I stopped using the Garnier eye products because I’m allergic to them so that means I’m not using any whitening products for that area. I am truly impressed with this product. I didn’t take a before and after photo as I wasn’t expecting this at ...

Alone Time

My good friend Kitten and I were supposed to go out yesterday but she had some unexpected things come up. I needed to buy some stuff as I am packing for a trip and so I went alone. I actually enjoy going out alone as much as going out with girlfriends or MB. It gives me a chance to eat whatever I like to eat and explore new restos. It’s also nice to take my time when shopping. After paying my bills, I had a late lunch at Toast Box: I love Hainanese Chicken. I sometimes cook this dish but it’s too tedious so I settle for eating out. I’m so happy that there are now restaurants that serve proper Hainanese Chicken. Well, except that one above was sooooo bloody. It was swimming in blood when I pulled the meat apart so I had it changed. You know what Gordon Ramsay says, bloody chicken is poisonous. This is the second time I ate at Toast Box and in both times, the chicken was so bloody. After lunch, I started shopping. First stop was Beabi where I bought these: The Sakura thermos on...
