2010 Highlights: Life and Makeup

2010 was a happy year for me, even if it was the year I got sick a lot... I hope 2011 spares me of frequent sickness. *positive thinking while chugging down vitamins* Its also the year I got to develop real friendships with my fellow bloggers. I'm looking forward to getting closer to more lovely ladies this year! ^_^

Let me share with you some really good moments LAST year:
✦ January,  we got BOWIE, our little boy Chihuahua. One year later, he's turned out to be quite the fashionista. J'adore!
✦ March, my first batch of blog sale items went up for grabs on shopcoffretgorge.blogspot.com
✦ July, Singapore trip with the whole family! gotta lurve family bonding trips! Have you seen the MUMMY PIC? click on the link, if you need some cheering up! XD
✦ November, went on a girl's trip to Hong Kong and queued for the Lanvin x H&M collaboration. Nothing like a crazy hoarding experience to add to my shopping history. ;)
✦ Also in November, Blogger meet-up with Jennifer. It was so fun shopping for cosmetics with her.


and now, my favorite products that helped me look presentable althroughout 2010...

SKINCARE:
Fancl! especially the Washing Powder and foaming ball(first and second from left)
The lather cleans my face thoroughly but doesn't strip off natural moisture, leaving my skin soft and smooth. Fancl products are preservative free.

Korres Hot Spiced Chocolate Shower Gel
This has a love it or leave it scent, obviously I love it! It smells oh so yummy! Hot choco scent with a grown up twist. Shout-out to M for getting these for me in Singapore where he bought all the remaining bottles upon learning it will be discontinued. Aw.

HAIR:
La Sana Hair Essence 
I have tried other hair essences/leave-on treatments this year but nothing compares to this seaweed essence. 

Prettia/Liese Bubble hair dye 
Fun, fast and easy to do! Plus the colors are very pretty, very flattering for asian skin tones.

BASE MAKEUP:
Shu Uemura Nobara Cream Stick
medium to full coverage, ideal for special occasions especially in our humid weather!

Canmake 5-effects Foundation
 easy to blend foundation with a cream to powder finish, saves me a lot of prep time in the morning.

Clé de peau concealer in Ochre
Now I know what the raves are all about. Full review coming soon. :)

POINT MAKEUP:
CHANEL Tweed Fuschia
I love this to bits. ;)

Dollywink Liquid liner in black
Want to achieve that winged liner look? If you're a liquid liner newbie (like me) get this one, its easy to apply plus it doesn't smudge and lasts all day.

LUNASOL Aurorized Eyes palette 05
very versatile palette. I wore it almost everyday since I got it. Definitely my fall favorite!

Jill Stuart Eye Jellies in 09 Midnight shine and 10 Vintage Decor
very rich colors packed with shine. I'm glad I got these to try.

Heroine Make Long & Curl Mascara
looks natural and very lightweight. I already have a back-up! :)

Lunasol Full Glamour Lips S 49
Aside from the gorgeous overspray, I love it for the beautiful deep berry tint it gives my lips.

NAILS:
MAC Studded from the Riveting Collection
gorgeous matte polish especially on the toes! So sad I didn't get a backup. :(

RBL No More War
the BEST military green shade evarrr.

CHANEL Pulsion
vibrant and creamy fuschia for Barbie-esque nails.

Deborah Lippmann
Happy Birthday, Bad Romance, Across the Universe - I love glitters, the chunkier the better! Evidently, I got lots of nail polish this year, my collection grew mad like gremlins. XD

That's it! I hope I didn't bore you with the long product post. I hope I can keep up with my reviews this year. *i really wish that!* I already have a lot on queue! XD

Lets all help each other stay sane with all the beautiful spring collections coming up! Shall we? Thank you for reading!
♡,
G

Rakuten Goodie: La Sana Hair Essence

Ever since I tried the La Sana Hair Essence sample Kelly (Ichibankao) gave me, I was in hair product heaven. I immediately googled it and found it on my new favorite online store, Rakuten, I also found one on eBay but the Rakuten seller had a waaay better price for a much bigger bottle (would you believe?) Rakuten rocks! :)

got my parcel from Rakuten in 2 days
I LOVE EMS! It's so fast and efficient, you get what you pay for shipping.
I give it 5 st✩✩✩✩✩rs! ^_~

the goodies
It came in bundled with a free La Sana Hair Suppli Mist - I believe it has a lighter formulation for daytime use.
I can't wait to try it!

product close-up
La Sana Hair Essence is made up of japanese sea weeds, it is rich in minerals & nutrients which help make hair look so naturally shiny. I just put a drop or two in my palm, gently rub it and smooth it over my hair. It has no scent and not greasy at all. It makes my hair so beautifully soft and frizz free. Supposedly, the essence is for night-time use but I use for day anyway. The only downside is that its not available locally, and it doesn't come cheap, the 60ml bottle costs ¥2,800 plus ¥900 EMS. Other than that, I only have nice words to say on this product. I have found a new hair care HG! Happiness! :)

If your locks need some shine and a major taming from the frizz, La Sana is worth a try imho.

oh SHIT! (So Happy It's Thursday!) so exciting, the weekend is coming! woot woot!

Be safe & healthy! Drink lots of h2O and stay in the shade my fellow filipinos! The hot weather is dehydrating!
