Quickpost: sigma travel set

the Sigma travel sets are now available, (black and pink) which retails for $49 each plus shipping $14 and to the sum of $63 (around 3150 php). now i promised myself i won't be getting them since i have a lot of brushes already and i had a bitof problems from the previous brushes i ordered. but i dunno. it's PINK!!! and they just look so tempting. but we'll see..

doesn't the pink holder look divine? sigh.... decisions decisions...



**on other news, i am still waiting for my faerie organics order, i love that company just because my skin loves their products too!!! since i have been using them my skin has gotten along with it. i used to swear on mineral whatever since they break me out, even everyday minerals broke me out after the 3rd day. but i have been using faerie organics for weeks now and my skin has gotten clearer, and yes i used up the free samples they shipped out so i have to get another one. what i am waiting for right now is, i actually ordered a few of their eyeshadow pigments because their colors were so whimsical (i'm a sucker for whimsical concept cosmetics), i was suppose to order from Aromaleigh (en pointe collection) but i heard that they're really crabby on giving out samples so i thought it wasn't so cost effective buying from them and paying shipping and getting a "barely-there" amount of sample. still waiting, i'm guessing shipping was delayed a bit because of the bad weather we had for the past days but hopefully they arrive. at least before our seniors' soiree party. hehe

until next time, i'm off for some shopping right now.

A FAERIE PLEASANT SURPRISE----Faerie organics mineral make up review

you know how it's comforting to know that you have friends that share the same interest as you do?.. just last month my friends and I were talking about totally switching to organic products as much as possible. we were always on our toes with organic whatever, buy them and then eventually test them out and if it works then YEY for us.=)
(don't mind my curls,
they have a mind of their own)

last month I met,(not actually meet, but ehrm.. you get the point) so yea, I got to meet Erin Mincks the woman behind Faerie Organics (i know, cute name right? i think it is) she's a full time make up artist and a a kitchen chemist using organic, natural or wildcrafted herbs and tinctures to create healing products.

i was so engrossed by her products and reviews so i decided to give it a try. so i asked Erin if she ships to Philippines and she rapidly answered yes with a smiley. =) and then she sent me sample baggies of her products for me to try and test. i received it June 10th and have been using it since then because i wanted to give you beauties an honest review of how the product really worked for me. and for the past 3 weeks I've been using it my skin didn't react to it, for what i can say right now is i think it even cleared up a bit. =}

enough of the blabbering time for pictures!!!!















the sample baggies with Erin's business card instructions =) isn't that sweet haha

and the samples she sent me are:

The consistency of the minerals!!

it's so mineral-ly hehe

~* at first i was scared of the li'l sparkles because my pores doesn't take sparkles all that well, but when you actually lay out the product, it isn't sparkly.. at all!! i gave me this healthy glow.. JOOOY!!

~* i LOVE the soft focus finish it gives to my face!!! pretty!!

~* and for the weeks that I've used it, i honestly haven't broken out as bad as before i get 1 yea, just ONE sometimes but that's about it. it stayed on my face for the whole day and i only had to blot once. ONCE!! *big grin*

~* the only down side i can think of is the price... yep, their full size jar is quite expensive. but I'm definitely going to be buying the "Flower Child" Au naturale face primer, it does wonders!!

and the verdict!
