Collection Cosmetics Loot

Last week, I had the privilege to go out. The first time, I picked up our new house helpers at the NAIA T3 airport via commute. Read: no taxi. I will post details for another post. On our way home, I bought my first Collection Cosmetics lasting lipstick in Sugar Plum (right).

The second chance was after we attended a birthday party last Saturday. Instead of allowing ourselves be stuck in heavy and long traffic due to the heavy rains, we headed to Trinoma, where the greenlight sale was happening. I was brainwashed that the Collection Cosmetics lasting lipstick in Mango Tango (left) suits me better than the first one I bought so it went to our basket. Then the 3-1 foundation concealer powder of Collection Cosmetics went in too because it was so hard to resist something that is very easy to use yet gives outstanding performance! Yeah, take that from me, who’s not so fond of putting too many stuff on my face.

I will try to make a face-of-the-day (FOTD) post for you to see what I mean.

Thanks to my dear hubby for buying these stuff for me.

Watsons Health and Beauty Fair

In celebration to their 10 years of existence in the Philippines, Watsons is having a fabulous Health and Beauty Fair starting tomorrow, September 27 until October 3 at SM North Edsa, Main Mall.

I hope we can visit as I personally like to have that Free Bone Screening. I do not want to know that I have osteoporosis when I can no longer get rid of it. I can also have that makeover if time permits. 😀 This is a very good event for us to miss, so see you there!

Avon Ultra Color Rich 24K Gold Lipstick – Ruby In Gold

Early this month, I felt like buying myself a lipstick. I wanted a red shade. So when MIL’s manicurist came by, I asked if she still sells Avon products. Anne Curtis endorses Avon here in our country so I said, it must be a good product and is worth trying.

I ordered a piece of Ultra Color Rich 24K Gold lipstick; Ruby in Gold is the shade.

When I got the lipstick, it came in black packaging that when unwrapped, reveals a gold tubing. I like it very much. The lipstick itself has gold particles in it.

Rich and creamy lipstick infused with real 24K gold particles for instant sparkle. Lips look luminous, soft and smooth and feel moisturised. Glides on smoothly and stays colour true. – Avon UK web site

I have been using it almost everyday, when I fetch Alex from school. It is really easy to apply. At first, I did not get the redness that I wanted. My sister told me to apply more coating until I get my desired color. One thing that I noticed though, it does not last that long. I do not know if that is what moisture lipsticks do or that my lips are very dry, it absorbs the lipstick really fast. What can you say?

I think I will buy another lipstick soon. Oh, is this going to be a collection?
