A POST- XMAS PRESENT FROM A FELLOW BLOGGER!

Hello dollies! How's your weekend? Mine went pretty well and this package totally made my week lovely. :)

So here's a love package that came in last friday. It's sis dimples (babyjaprn) of girltalk and blogger pahabol xmas gift. :)

At first, I thought that it is a face powder of some sort. She thought that it is a vintage item so I thought that it is a vintage- brand face powder! Hahahaha (make- up is literally a natural impulse for me).

But when I opened the box, it is indeed a lovely piece of accessory!

A lovely locket with Cleopatra's pic. Di kaya hanapin ng mom mo 'to? LOL! :P

Whaddaya know? It's a necklace watch locket! It's a perfect jewelry to spice plain outfits and at the same time, a perfect piece of costume jewelry for my plays!

THANK YOU SO MUCH DIMPLES (BABYJAPRN)! :)

THE BEAUTY JUNKEE'S FINISHED PRODUCTS FOR 2009

Here's a list of my finished products for 2009. Surprisingly, I haven't finished a single lipstick! Well, that goes to show that I have too much of it! :)

KIEHL’S NON- DETERGENT FOAMING FACIAL CLEANSER

Emptied a 250ml bottle of this and decided to settle with a cheaper alternative from TFS or Etude House.

  KIEHL’S MIXED BERRIES FACIAL TONER

Emptied a 150ml bottle of this and decided to settle for the cheapest, which is Ultra Facial Toner, which will also complement my Ultra Facial Moisturizer .

 L’OREAL ROYAL JELLY SHAMPOO

Emptied around 10- 13 bottles of this! I have long hair so I use up shampoo quickly. But a bottle in the biggest size usually lasts me for 1- 1 1/2 months. 

MAC STUDIO FIX POWDER PLUS FOUNDATION

Emptied 2 NC40s and 1 NC42. My HG powder foundation .

 KIEHL’S SUPERBLY RESTORATIVE LOTION WITH ARGAN OIL

Emptied a 250ml bottle of this one. HG material, but price is too steep for me. 

 MAC STUDIO FINISH CONCEALER

Finally, I let it go after 4 years of using it. Well, not totally. 20% was still left and I sold it off for 100 bucks.

 MAC STUDIO TECH FOUNDATION

Emptied one for a play. Shade is NC45.

ECLAT D’ ARPEGE BY LANVIN

My HG perfume. Emptied one 30ml bottle and one 100ml bottle. Currently used up 25% of my 100ml bottle.

 MAC BLOT POWDER (MEDIUM DARK)

Emptied one compact, but accidentally dropped and crushed it while it’s still around 60%. Transferred it to a jar. 

 CHANEL INMITABLE MASCARA

Emptied one tube.

2009'S WORST MAKE- UP PURCHASES

So I gave you a list of my hottest purchases last 2009. So here's a run- down of my top 5 worst purchases in 2010:

THE FACE SHOP FELT TIP EYELINER PEN

Smudges like crazy and it would always end up inside my eyes and sting 'em! After using it twice, I gave up on it.

BENEFIT BENETINT

A total waste of money. Doesn't give you any hint of rosiness at all! Oh well, good thing I got it from a swap.

ELIANTO PRESSED EYESHADOWS

The most sensitive eyeshadows I have ever owned. Even a slight blow of the wind can turn these into powder! (of course I'm exaggerating). And the colors have the tendency to oxidize, especially the black color, which can turn to gray if you sweat!

PAUL AND JOE LIQUID FOUNDATION

Slow- drying and definitely makes my face look greasy, which is worse than being oily.

LAURA MERCIER MINERAL PRESSED POWDER WITH SPF15

- Shades can fool you. The shades are pink based so it literally turns my face shade two shades lighter than my normal skin tone. I swear not to buy LM powders again because their shade range suits fair skinned ladies more

5 CERTIFIED LOCALLY- BASED YET INTERNATIONAL NEWSMAKERS OF 2009

THERE ARE TONS OF HEADLINERS THAT SHOCKED THE PHILIPPINES IN 2009. BUT HERE ARE MY TOP PICKS THAT PUT THE PHILIPPINES RIGHT ON TOP OF THE WORLD HEADLINES.

MANNY PACQUIAO'S WIN AGAINST MIGUEL COTTO

- Manny has done it again! He has defeated world- renowned boxer Miguel Angel Cotto and has become the world's best pound- for- pound champion, which also earned him an edition of Time magazine having him as a cover and a recognition by time as one of the MOST INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE OF THE YEAR

SHOCK VALUE- 6

CNN'S HERO OF THE YEAR 2009 IS A FILIPINO!

- Efren Penaflorida's heart and passion towards helping the unfortunate to experience education, even in his littlest way, has awarded him as 2009's CNN HERO OF THE YEAR. He has battled alongside different competitors from around the globe yet his Karitela classroom has won the hearts of the judges for it's uniqueness and effectiveness in making the world a beautiful place to live in for every human.

SHOCK VALUE- 7

SUPER TYPHOONS ONDOY, PEPENG, RAMIL AND SANTI

- The whole nation was under a state of calamity for 3 months as four (4) super typhoons struck the country and left around a thousand dead: buried under landslides and drowned in flashfloods. The Philippines has experienced a collective amount of a month's rainfall in a day which buried Manila, Benguet, Pangasinan, Northern Luzon, Ilocos, and Albay under 5- 10 ft. of floodwater. Apart from the devastation, what has captured the entire world is the innate goodness of Filipinos. All the rich corporations, celebrities and able Filipinos joined hand in hand to help those who have been deeply devastated by the super typhoons. According to one American Journalist, "WHAT THE WORLD FAILS TO SEE AMIDST ALL THE DEVASTATION AND NEGATIVE NEWS IS THE EXPRESSION OF INNATE KINDNESS AND THE SPIRIT OF HUMANITY IN EVERY FILIPINO AS THEY HELP THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN DEEPLY AFFECTED BY THE CALAMITY".

SHOCK VALUE- 8

DEATH OF CORAZON AQUINO, THE MOTHER OF PHILIPPINE DEMOCRACY

- Cory Aquino's untimely farewell has once again created history for the Philippines as millions of Filipinos gathered around the street to pay respect to the woman who brought back the freedom to the Filipinos. A gathering event as big during her final procession was never witnessed since the death of her husband, freedom fighter Benigno Aquino.

SHOCK VALUE- 8

MAGUINDANAO MASSACRE

- This incident is tagged as the MOST VIOLENT POLITICAL WARFARE AGAINST MEDIA PERSONS and has moved the world through the United Nations to summon the government of the Philippines  to take immediate action and condemn those who are behind the massacre of 76 Media persons, Lawyers, and members of the Manguna- Datu family.
