What five beauty products can you not live without? Only five!
Hmm… I think it would be: Renee Rouleau AHA/BHA Cleanser, Margin blush, Studio Fix Fluid, Plushlash mascara, and Estee Lauder Re-Nutriv Youth Creme.
Sunday, March 16, 2008
Only five? :O
1. Dermalogica Medicated Clearing Gel – this is THE best for clearing pimples overnight. Or maybe even Benzyl Peroxide
2. MAC Take a Hint tendertone – I am so in love with this!
3. theBalm Hot Mama blush/shadow – It gives me just the right amount of glow :)
4. Dermalogica Active Moist – the only thing that works for my skin as a moisturiser. Shame it doesn’t have SPF in it :(
5. MAC Woodwinked eye shadow :D
Hope you’re enjoying your weekend, Christine!
Tuesday, March 18, 2008
LOL, yes, only five :D
I just started using Benzyl Peroxide, but whew, it is drying!
Sunday, March 16, 2008
They are mostly moisturizers, which will tell you how dry my skin is. lol
1. Gentle gel cleanser by Avene. Last thing in my travel bag and first out of it. To avoid forgetting it (a true disgrace!) I keep a bottle *everywhere*.
2. Hydrance day cream by Avene. Forgetting to put it on, will only make me turn the car around and go back home. When clock is ticking I take it along. But I never bypass it! That would only result in uncomfortable skin and a lot of annoyed moaning on my part.
3. Lip balm by Uriage. I once sold one to a lady, who opened the wrapper and put it on her lips, before she had paid the bill! My need of it is so similar that I warn my mother to stock it before I travel home, and only throw away the empty shell when I have a new one in my hands. This balm is the reason why I don’t use lipsticks and rarely glosses.
Tuesday, March 18, 2008
lol, Carolina!! My skin has been oddly dry lately, too :(
Sunday, March 16, 2008
Only 5 – Jebus!

1) rare minerals by bare escentuals
2) touche eclat by yves st laurent
3) bare minerals foundation by bare escentuals
4) kanebo 38+ mascara
(5) strawberry fudge eyeshadow by clinique – I could make it without this, but it is my favorite easy-to-use looks-good-with-anything eyeshadow. I love it :)
Tuesday, March 18, 2008
I really need to try Touche Eclat, everybody seems to love it! I just tried the Kanebo mascara, and it’ll be nice for swimming.

1. MAC Studio Fix Foundation
2. MAC Select Cover Concealer
3. MAC Blush in Well Dressed
4. Mascara (toss up between Diorshow or Cover Girl LashBlast)
5. Lipgloss (favorites are MAC Lustreglass in Pinkarat or Victoria’s Secret Beauty Rush in Strawberry Fizz)
As for skincare, Clean and Clear Blackhead Clearing Scrub is a must have…
Tuesday, March 18, 2008
Wow, can’t believe Lash Blast is up there with DiorShow!
Sunday, March 16, 2008
I absolutely can not live without my:
Kiehl’s Moisturizer…the stuff does wonders for my face
Brow Pencil…It really does not matter the brand but I normally use Strut or Spiked from MAC depending on my hair color
MASCARA, MASCARA, and did I say MASCARA! It really does not matter what brand but I have fallen head over heels for MAC’s plush lash. It makes my eyes pop.
Fix +…I am a huge fan!
Sunbasque blush…Absolutely love it!
Tuesday, March 18, 2008
Good to hear, I’ve just started using a few Kiehl’s products myself!
Sunday, March 16, 2008

Ahh, what makes you switch between brands?
Sunday, March 16, 2008
#1. MAC Fast Response Eye cream – I love coffee and this caffeine infused puffy reducer
#2. MAC Mineralized Skinfinish Medium – this powder makes my skin look natural satin finish, rather than “I just powdered my nose finish”
#3. Clinique turnaround visible skin renewer – once a day my skin sings hallelujah!
#4. MAC Tehnkohl liner in Photogravure – not black, not brown, just right in between color that’s water and smudge proof!
#5. Urban Decay Eye Shadow Primer Potion – eye shadow goes on really smooth and stays put all day without making my eye area dry like many other eye shadow primers
#@. If I could include more products here are some of my favorites: Loreal HIP Mascara in Ultimate black, MAC Shadestick in Beiging, MAC Tinted Lip Conditioner Stick, MAC Browshader in Browning, MAC Fluiline in Blacktrack (you saw this coming soon or later, right?), MAC Paint in Bare Canvas (I use this only on my lips to keep my liner and lipstick stay put all day!) MAC Creamstick Pearl Liner in Plum Royale, Deep Soul, and Beurre, MAC Gently off Makeup Remover(the pink one), MAC #7 lash, MAC Eye Kohl in Blooz, Smolder, and Tarnish, Equate Facial Cleansing Wipes (yes, this is a store brand wipes from WalMart but I love this bargain buy more than any other wipes on this planet! Trust me, I’ve tried every one!), etc….
Tuesday, March 18, 2008
Hey Jenny! I didn’t even know FREC had caffeine in it.
