Hello guys! Only one day to go before its TGIF. I'm really excited with starting the new year and having new projects for this blog. I have a lot of product reviews and features lined up for everybody. To start off, I have compiled a sneak peek of some upcoming posts/reviews. Hopefully, I can get them all out by next week. I plan to update more frequently so stay tuned for more exciting posts from me! :)
Sleek Makeup Blush by 3 in 363 Pumpkin - 20g/0.68oz for Php 746.00, Luxola.com

- I have generally been impressed with Sleek Make Up's product range so I decided to try out their popular blush palette.

Sleek Makeup Blush by 3 in 363 Pumpkin

The trio I got was Pumpkin, consisting of Lantern - a medium terracotta red with golden shimmer, Squash - a satin medium pink with slight shimmer, and P Pie - matte bright burnt orange. I feel that I cover a broader color spectrum with this palette since I got a red, pink and orange-toned blush in one, convenient case. This would be really handy for travel.

MAC Matte Lipstick in Ruby Woo - 3g/0.10oz for Php 1000.00, BeautyMNL.com
- I'm (very) slowly building up my MAC lipstick collection. My last MAC lipstick was kind of a disappointment so I stopped buying for awhile. I felt that I didn't get my money's worth with the sheer, frosty finish of Angel. With this purchase, I decided that I should be back to the high impact color that MAC mattes offer. This time, I opted for the cult classic, Ruby Woo.

MAC Matte Lipstick in Ruby Woo

I was actually debating whether to get Ruby Woo or Please Me. Considering that I got enough pink lipsticks to last me a lifetime, I chose the world's bestselling lipstick. I'm glad I made the right choice. :)

MAC Matte Lipstick in Ruby Woo

Just looking at the bright, rich color of this lipstick makes me happy. I say it's worth every penny I paid for it. I'm almost afraid to use this lipstick and ruin how perfect and shiny it is. It just looks soooo pretty!

Red Lipstick Swatches (L-R) Revlon Sultry, Revlon Striking, MAC Ruby Woo, Revlon In the Red, NYX Snow White, Wet n Wild Stoplight Red

I'm glad to report that I don't have red shades similar to Ruby Woo. I've swatched some of the red lipstick I have and they all look so different! Who knew there could be so many shades of red? I'm hoping to have a full review of this lipstick up by next week. I'm also planning to do a dupe list

Mizon Snail Recovery Gel Cream vs All in One Snail Repair Cream
I've heard good reviews of Mizon's best selling Snail Recovery Gel Cream. I'm almost halfway through the tube and so far, so good. I like the snail gel enough to try out its less known sister, the All in One Snail Repair Cream.

I've been using the snail gel as a lightweight moisturizer under my sunblock during the day and the more moisturizing snail repair cream during the night. I will have the reviews and comparisons of both up in the blog sometime later in the next week.

Rocking the Marsala Look: Red Eyes
I wanted to get into to the Marsala trend so I dug up my makeup stash to see if I had some red eye shadows and sad to say, I am lacking in that department. I did find a couple of red-toned shadows from my depotted Victoria's Secret Hottest Holiday Makeup Kit and I made do with those.

Depotted: Victoria's Secret Hottest Holiday Makeup Kit

I practiced and played with some eye shadows yesterday. The final look is surprisingly very wearable, I might even rock this makeup sometime (heh). I 'm going to hunt for some red eye shadows this weekend. Hopefully, I can find some that I like and are not too expensive. If not, I might be using some blush or lipstick on my eyes.

(Update: Mr. LBC arrived with a Luxola package and it's got a FREE Sleek Maximum Impact Eye Shadow in Ruby in it. Thank you Fate!). Stay tuned for a more detailed Marsala-themed eye look next week. That should be fun!
