the shopaholic is getting married..

yey!

but unfortunately.. this means that i must now be a more responsible spender..

also.. my weekend shopping time will now be taken up with wedding planning time..

hence posts here will be few and far between.. (are already)

boo!

not to worry.. i still have a lot of products i want to rave about..

smashbox o-glow

and just as i had established my love for compartments.. i have also established my love for makeup on the go..

and now it's smabox o-glow's turn to be featured..

 

aside from the ease of putting on, i love the faint pink color on my cheeks.. it looks quite natural and not clownish..

Experience instant chemistry as your complexion is transformed from so-so to oh-so-glowing! The first intuitive blush, this clear gel reacts with your personal skin chemistry to turn cheeks the color you blush naturally, in just seconds! O-GLOW works on every skin tone, from the lightest to the darkest, to give everyone a customized flush of color. When applied, your skin's moisture activates the innovative formula, producing a rosy blush that lasts all day.

although i've read that the transformation of clear gel to pink flush is nothing but ph reaction, i can agree with the rosy blush all day part.. and this also worked for my friend with different skin tone.. :p

now i also want to try the o-gloss.. :p

multiply find: dream collection / pslove make-up bag

i've already established that i loved bags with compartments.. what more a bag with customizable compartments? and not just the compartments.. you can customize everything! well, everything except the main structure..

but you can choose the fabric/material you want for the exterior.. you can have a different one for the front, back, sides and pocket..

as for the compartments, there are a lot of velco strips of various sizes to really fit your needs:

and this is not just for make-up.. it's also great for scrapbook supplies:

so head on over to dream collection for your customized pslove bag.. :p

earth therapeutics anti-stress eye mask / anti-stress jet lag pack

i feel great the whole day today.. because for the first time in a long long time, i had a good night's sleep..

i didn't get to sleep early.. i think it was almost 12 when i slept.. i had a headache the whole day yesterday..

so before i went to sleep, i put on my anti-stress eye mask.. and was able to sleep immediately (and i usually have a hard time sleeping even when i'm tired).. and slept undisturbed until my alarm clock went off this morning.. and i didn't feel groggy or fatigued like i usually do.. even during some saturdays that i wake up very late.. in fact, i was able to get up after the first song from my ipod ended.. normally i wait until 4 or more have played..

and the whole day i felt energized.. i didn't feel sleepy.. not even during the drive home.. i was alert the whole time! normally it's such a struggle for me to keep awake when i drive home after 10pm..

and i attribute all these to my having used the anti-stress eye mask last night.. which i got as part of the jet lag pack..

 
the mind repair and massage lotion are actually great as well in easing headaches and shoulder tensions.. i admit drinking paracetamol will have the same effect.. but i'm trying to avoid medications right now.. as i believe my sickness early this year was made worse by too much neozep.. :p
