Eye Definer Felt-Tip Eye Marker

$6.95 at your local pharmacy (I got mine at Rite-Aid)

Their claims:

• Ultra easy-to-use felt-tip eyeliner pen for bold lining.
• Perfectly defined look of a liquid eyeliner without the mess!
• Lasts for 24 hours and removes easily with any eye makeup remover.

My Verdict:
- It really glides smoothly
-Stays smudge free for hours (on top of UDPP)
- Affordable

Cons:
- There's a chance of drying out just like your regular sharpie
- I only found like 3 in my pharmacy so there's a pretty chance of running out soon.

Will I recommend it?
Yes. Try it. 6.95 plus tax wont harm you. :o)

Don't mind the messy eyebrows .. :)

rite aid haul

After deciding not to get any make up from the pharmacy, I encountered the 75%off sale rite-aid is having. It's hard not to get anything since I've been lemmin' on this one-day tattoo ms. tia' s bloggin' about. I saw a dupe for 6.95 and decided to try it on. maybe it wont be too bad.
I also grabbed a nude lipstick from almay coz I'll be having my first gig as a make up artist to my bro-in-law's fiancee. They'll have a civil wedding this Wednesday & I'm nervous as wreck coz she trusted me with her make up!!!! I'll use the nude lippie on her..
Ofcourse, I also bought me a feminine wash..

Yu- Be Review

There was once a very dry hands. All the cuticles were crying for help. All they want was glow to come back.
Because of the winter season, the skin's breaking out terribly. Until one time, this hands came across the orange magic called Yu-Be.
Yu-be got a concentrated glycerin moisturizer that helps hydrate, soothe & smooth rough dry skin.
Yu- Be is safe and effective for the whole famliy on all dry skin areas of the body- including face & lips!!!
Yu- Be helps treat: split cuticles, chapped lips, cracked heels, calluses, burns & severe dry skin.
Yu-Be helps moisturize & protect skin exposed to the harsh elements of cold, wind & water.
Most of all, it is non- greasy and is absorbs quickly & stays locked in for hours.

So, the hands became pretty again after applying the cream only once. Imagine having it applied even more?!!Several days later, the ups man came ringing the bell, asking for the confirmation signature. It's time to upgrade my lotion to this wonderful miracle potion.

Yu- Be is available online at www.yu-be.com.
If you;'re skeptical, they have free sample. Just pay the s&h..

My Saturday.

On Saturday, my husband & I went shopping for a bed because there was a huge sale at sleepys. The thing is, we share a twin bed for the past 6 months. No complains because he works at night and I sleep alone in that bed almost all the time. But when he had his Christmas vacation last holiday, we realized that twin bed will work no more. It's time to upgrade. It has been snowing badly in here so it was only last Saturday we got the chance to buy "THE BED".
I felt that I am really married now. After 6 months for crying out loud. After 6 freaking months!!! On the back of my mind while we were shopping, "The hell, only my mommy & daddy will pick up things like this for me" But hello!! reality check Kristine, you're married now and it's time to choose your own path.. yes, that includes your bed to sleep with your husband. I was trying hard to negotiate like an adult to the salesman, when my very wonderful husband gave his card to the man. It was like, "uh, honey I'm trying to make things cheaper" But I realized that it was the best offer.

Our bed will be delivered on January 29, between 7am-11am. I can't wait.

After that, I went to Michael's to gab some stuffs to the project I have been lemming ever since I started blogging. "The sephora inspired brush holder."

Here are the pikchas:
The beads.
The box. (lol)
I poured the beads to the glass container I got from the wedding I attended last fall.
My babies.

Yu- Be sample

It was a quick shipment from Yu-Be. I sent my request on Wednesday, and I got my free samples of yu-be products on mail last Friday. I got a total of two packages that day and had me really thrilled. It's been a while since I received something from my post man. Today, I will do my review on the product and hopefully this will help future users to determine whether they will like it or not. Here we go:

The package consists:
4 small 0.1 oz tubes Moisturizing skin cream
1 0.25 fl.oz. tube Moisturizing Body Lotion
and
1 0.14 oz sachet foaming skin polish

Yu- Be is known as the #1 selling medicated, vitamin- enriched skin cream in Japan. It is a glycerin- based moisturizer with vitamin E, B2 & camphor. Yu-Be is safe & effective on all dry skin areas of your body- including face & lips.

I tried on the skin cream,

After using it, I noticed that it is very much comparable to Tiger Balm. The color and the texture is exactgkIf you know how it smells like, then it is the same scent. It's nothing like a moisturizer at all. Moisturizers usually smells clean or most of the time unscented. This, smells like tiger balm, more likely an old lady. But we will see on the next few days if this will help me heal my craked knuckles due to cold weather.
Right now, I have a severe case of cracked knuckles and hopefully Yu-Be on the next few days will help me at least resolve this a little.

I got me a silicon case for my very battered camera. I am housing her in this cute package. yipee!

Pick up a box of 20 today!

Eyeko says: "These cleansing wipes are super soft and just the thing for removing make up in a jiffy EVEN waterproof mascara!"

My Verdict:

Personally, I love this product because it really cleans my skin after I retire from the day of make-up. It even removes my mascara without hurting my lashes. It gently removes not only my make-up but even the dirt I acquired throughout the day. Perfect for those "humm-i'm-too-lazy-to-wash-my-face-tonight" kinda thing.

I give it a 5 out of 5 rating. I love the packaging. It's wrapped individually which I think is a brilliant idea. It's not too bulky to carry. I keep two in my purse. :)

When buying, don't forget to key in E123 as your coupon code. This will entitle you to a FREE GIFT from eyeko.

Let's go ga-ga!
