I think tags are an awesome way to break the silence here in my blog..
I have been MIA again for the nth time.. been so busy with work lately due to Quarter End Reviews and Visitors that I go home super exhausted.. not wanting to do anything but just eat, watch torrents and sleep. Too busy that I dont even have the energy to comment on your posts.. though i do read every single one of your posts religiously, thanks to Google Reader.
I do create drafts since I try to take pictures of food places and hauls. I just havent had time to actually write something.
I’ve been seeing this tag from my favorite beauty bloggers (yes i consider you guys as the real deal when it comes to honest to goodness reviews, unlike some pro dudes that turns reviews in to advertorials) – see i told u i read your blogs.. hehe
Anyway, here goes my answers to 40 Questions
SKINCARE

Twice a day.

What skin type do you have?
I have oily skin on the face and uber dry on the bod.
What is your current facial wash?
Purity Made Simple by Philosophy.
- yup, it has been my HG (and lifesaver) since my review last year. Every time i try a different facial wash, i get breakouts so i just ended up going back to this one.
Do you exfoliate?
For the face. I would want to but the only product that did work wonders for me was discontinued and I am out already. huhuhu . The other ones i have tried either gave me bumps after or dries out my skin.
What brand do you use?
Human Nature Brown Rice Scrub
What moisturizer do you use?
Hope in a Jar by Philosophy
- it works for me but i only use it as a night cream coz it’s a lil on the heavy side for daytime use.

Nope. I think I am too morena for it to show if I do have some.
Do you use eye cream?
I do but haven’t found one that makes me happy.
Do you or did you have acne prone skin?

Did you ever have to use Pro-activ?
Nope.
MAKE-UP
What foundation do you use?
Depends on the mood.
For good skin days, I use Monave Concealer Foundation in Mirabella
For days that I need more coverage, I use MAC StudioFix Fluid in NC37
For days that I know I’ll get photographed (hehe.. like dinner/lunch outs or events), I use MUFE Mat Velvet –> super photogenic in my opinion. :)
How about concealer?
MAC StudioFinish concealer in NW30 for the undereyes. For the blemishes, the foundation I use already covers it..

Something I have lots of but dunno how to use.. hehe

Yup.
What brand of mascara do you use?
Some Fiberwig Mascara I got from HongKong.

MAC

Yup. Cant do without it else I feel naked.. hehe

Gel liners only. Pencil and Liquid eyeliners I have tried smudges on me. Making me look like a zombie.
How often do you poke your eyes with an eyeliner pencil?
Very rarely since I don’t use it often.

Do you go to CCO's? (cosmetic company outlets)
I would be going there every payday if we have one here in Manila .. hehehe
Did you ever consider taking make-up classes?
