Glow by Lady E

I was fascinated with Estee Lauder’s counter at Rustan’s. I took a lot of pictures because, well, because their products are pretty. = ) Estee Lauder Eye Shadows and Blushes Estee Lauder Pure Color Eye Shadows Pure Color E/S Swatches More Pure Color Eye Shadows EL blushes I love the peach nuance, the one on the far right. Here’s a swatch but I don’t know if you’ll be able to see it: EL Foundation EL Lipsticks I’m not too excited about the lipsticks. They don’t last. I’ll write a separate post on that. Pure Color Lip Glosses The gloss lasted for quite a while so I guess it’s better to buy this than the lipstick. Well, that’s just me. What’s also great about Estee Lauder is their high regard for hygiene. These glosses don’t have applicators in them. This way, people can’t just swipe them on then put the applicator back into the tube. If you want to try one on, you’d have to ask one of the SA’s and she will get you a disposable applicator. And of course, Estee Lauder ...

Do you like haul posts? I do! It’s exciting for me to see shopping bags and of course, the stuff inside them whenever I read blogs. I don’t think it’s yabang or showing off. I think it’s quite informative as I can see what’s out there, what’s new and more often than not, the cost of a product. Isn’t it frustrating to see something you like online and then when you get to the actual store, you’re disappointed because you can’t afford it? I’ve had my share of those. I bought a few things from The Face Shop on Friday night. I was down on stocks and so I had to replenish them. The Face Shop Haul I bought my favorite cotton swabs, 3 for Php75. The original price is Php45 per pack. These are the best cotton swabs for me. I only buy them when they’re all bundled up. It helps me to be gentle when cleaning my ears. The wooden handle will break if there’s too much pressure. My friend P, a guy, used to break these things when cleaning his ears. He learned to be more careful because of these ...

(I will be uploading backlog posts as I couldn’t upload when I was in the hotel, terrible internet connection.) My Pantene samples arrived a few days before the lovely Kitten posted about hers. Many of you know that I am allergic to Pantene but I couldn’t resist trying again especially with all the hype. Unfortunately, I’m still allergic to Pantene. I got rashes all over after using this. Well, in spite of that, I was still able to finish these two bottles. I wanted to see some dramatic changes. It might work. I think Pantene is really best for straight hair. My curly hair became flat and limp. Even with Monea, my hair was still flat. It was manageable, alright, but I want big, poufy hair. Haha! It’s also great for tangles, you don’t have to worry about combing your hair every once in a while if you have straight hair. As for the hair fall control, I guess since I’m allergic to this product, the hair fall did not improve. I experienced the same amount of hair fall every morni...

Sorry I haven’t been blogging. I wasn’t feeling well. I’ve had frequent attacks but nothing to worry about. Because of that, MB and I decided to go on a quick getaway in the city. This is where we will be staying for the next couple of days: Living Area Dining Area Kitchen Outside study Bedroom Poor MB was having migraine attacks and so he conked out the minute he hit the bed. I had to go out and buy food as we haven’t had lunch yet. This is where I’m blogging now: Study table It opens up to this: All the tables open up like that. It has a mirror inside. We haven’t gone far. We’re just at A. Venue Suites. So far, I like it here. I didn’t take a pic of the bathroom as it was ugly. Yeah. It’s tiny and there isn’t enough space for my toiletries. It’s too cramped. We also don’t have any intentions of eating at the restaurant as we’ve been there and the food was not nice. Maybe they’ve improved but I don’t want to bet my money on it. Our lunch on the other hand, was from ...

I don’t know about you but I get extremely happy whenever I hit pan.  Here are some of my finished products in August and September. I say some because the others are regulars so I didn’t include them anymore. I finished my last Celeteque and the last of my Grape Bella Stash, both scrub and body wash. I finished my Etude House Happy Teatime Milk Tea Facial Wash, St. Ives Apricot Scrub for Sensitive Skin and the free Sunsilk. I need to buy more of those Colgate Plax Sensitive because I noticed some bleeding again when I brush my teeth. For makeup, I was able to hit pan on my TFS blush, Ellana foundation, Magnum mascara (which I really love) and the Human Heart Nature lip balm in mandarin orange. And of course, for all that makeup, I was able to finish this jar of Happy Tea Time Milk Tea makeup remover and the Ellana brush cleaner. I’m on my second jar of makeup remover and my second bottle of Ellana brush cleaner. I’m not too excited about finishing just one lotion though. That’...

I’m obsessed with building my bag collection because a few months ago I decided to sell/giveaway almost all my bags. Now, I’m starting anew with black bags. I also think I’m getting obsessed with black bags. Kashieca Black Bag I went inside Kashieca Greenbelt one Sunday afternoon and saw this bag. I wanted to buy it but I was having doubts. You know me, I can be pretty cheap at times. The bag costs Php998. Then the SA said that it’s the last one and that they only have one per color delivered to each branch. I don’t know if that’s true or not but that was the push I needed. I immediately bought the bag and used my Bench Loyalty points so I got a Php200 discount = Php798. Yay! This bag fits everything! It fits Coco too and all her accessories. There are also several compartments inside so I don’t lose things. I tried using my Beabi bag organizer but I just suck at it. I feel it makes my bag heavier. Whatever, my bag is always heavy anyway. I got this other bag from SM: Quilted SM...
