McQueen, 1969-2010


February 11, 2010 - Designer Lee McQueen has been found dead inside his London home.

His elaborately extravagant pieces will always be wish list material for most of us who don't have bazillions of moolah, but I have always admired Lee Alexander McQueen's creativity and ability to bring edgy avant-garde shows to the runway, pleasantly shocking fashionistas around the globe. (On a side note - Lady Gaga must be devastated.)

He may very well be designing outrageous new clothes and halos for the angels in heaven now...
May you rest in peace, make the heavens fashion forward. 0:)

Skinfatuated


I don't think I've blogged about something proudly made in the Philippines just yet, so today I'm going to introduce you to a skin care/cosmetic brand VMV Hypoallergenics. As the name suggests, all of their products are allergen free, its such a short list for products like these don't you think? I think their best selling item is Armada - their sunscreen line which offers the highest SPF available in the market, 70 up to 90. (I know, Whoa! @.@-)

I purchased some goodies yesterday, a GLOW lip & cheek tint and an ESSENCE Skin-saving anti-perspirant.

Glow Lip & Cheek Tint in Watermelon

A two in one product, this is great for traveling. No need to think of colors to match your blush to your lips! ;)

I'd say the color is a glowing pink color, it makes you look like you've naturally blushed. Really nice for ladies with fair to medium skin tones.
As lip gloss, I find it a little sticky for me, so i like it better as a blush.

It gives a nice glow. (photo taken with outdoor lighting)

I recommend this as a blush to those who have smooth facial skin because it needs moderate blending in the cheeks, if you have a lot of bumps it could be a little difficult and frustrating. But if blended properly and seamlessly, you will be rewarded with pretty, natural looking blush which stays on the whole day! Perfect for the upcoming summer season! :)

I also got this Essence Skin Saving Anti-Perspirant
I bought this because it doesn't contain harsh ingredients which may cause darkening, bumps and irritation to the underarms. Its also great for traveling, you can share it with your family since it comes in a spray bottle, you save luggage space and weight. ;)

I'm going to let the photos speak for themselves. :)





Oh yes, I'm skinfatuated. ^^
