LASHBLAST VOLUME BLASTING MASCARA: Covergirl

LashBlast Volume Blasting Mascara

LASHBLAST VOLUME BLASTING MASCARA 

CoverGirl


I totally understand why this product was selected for the Beauty Awards 2012!!!

This is my favorite makeup item, hands-down !! It is a staple in my pocketbook. Some people turn around and go back home if they leave their cellphone, Lashblast is on that same page with me. 

When I got the stores and find the LashBlast double back on sale, its like hitting the lotto. Its a magical moment because I buy more mascaras than most. I have an eye condition, which requires for me to change my mascaras very frequently ( recommended is 3 months). I change my mascara every month. 

I have tried many mascaras, many have been pretty good, maybe even great. But none excel Lashblast. Lashblast makes my eyelashes thick, long, voluptuous and defined. If I apply multiple layers, my lashes remain flawless.

MyGlam (now IPSY)

Today I received my first package from MyGlam (now IPSY). I have to admit that I was kind of confused when I saw a package from IPSY, since I just recently signed up for MyGlam.

The Packaging. The products arrived in a bright pink padded enveloped. Very cute. I plan to re-use the envelop (those retail for about $3.50), so, I was already excited.  I was surprised that the package did not have tissue inside, with a special seal stamp ( but I guess that's how they keep the price at $10/month). 

The Products- VERY GOOD!! These are all products that I will use and they go every well with my complexion. I was surprise at the quality. I was soooo glad I signed up. 

What did i get?

  • Coastal Scents Eye shadow
  • Be a Bombshell eye liner- Full size
  • Couture Colour Pequi Oil® Treatment ( I am trying this one tomorrow!!!)
  • Mirenesse Lip Bomb Glossy Lacquer Stain- Full size
  • TheBalm What's Your Type? "the body builder" Black Mascara

Mucinex





Mucinex


I had a cold  for a couple of days and my son as well. We took him to the doctor, and the doc recommend Mucinex . I decided to buy the same for myself.
I had heard wonders about Mucinex , which I would expect at the steeper price tag than its over the counter competitors.

The results were not what I expected. I expected my cold to disappear, not to worsen.  I use public transportation to get to work and work in an office. Unfortunately, the day after taking Mucinex I noticed that I was coughing a LOT and very frequently.  It was annoying others in the office (and drove me crazy). For the next 2 days I had a persistent cough: a thin, watery cough that made me sound like I had contagious cold.  I was definitely getting the “stay away from me looks” in the train. These side effects were very difficult to deal with.  I no longer feel congested, but the phlegm is out of control.  

Therefore I would say that while this product did loosen mucus and help me get rid of it, the difficult and annoying side effects were very undesirable. I would not use the product again.

Pamper me event : Satya Jewerly


Nearly two months ago a close friend if mine delivered her baby.

The baby was delivered at Roosevelt hospital near Columbus circle. I ran to the Wholesfood in the mall to pick up some flowers. One way out I saw this small jewelry shop. The window display had too many pieces that I liked, so I knew it wasn't going to be a two minute browsing session.

Today at The Pamper me event I got to see the jewelry from Satya again!!! ( I didn't know the brand name until today).

Their pieces are genuinely exquisite.

It doesn't matter how much I have on my plate, every year I have made it my year to participate in volunteer events, walks and donate to a cause. Satya is my kind of company, as they  place a heavy emphasis on Philantropy.

"Our Mantra: Beautiful, meaningful, inspiring. We design so that anyone can view our collection and piece of jewelry that warms their heart because it is so innately true to them. Satya means truth in Sanskrit, and it is the guiding force behind all 'we do. We make jewelry of all truths and donate to children’s charities throughout the world.



Here are some of the beautiful pieces, available for sale at Satya website/stores.

Pyrite Sun Bracelet - Prism
Gunmetal and Gold Celestial Bracelet - Darkness to Light
Here Comes the Sun Bracelet - New Jade
Head over Heels Bracelet

I love this one, it's on sale as well:

Silver Bless Your Heart Necklace - Turquoise


Silver Bless Your Heart Necklace - Turquoise

$82.80
$138.00 - 40.00 % 
ON SALE

Face Painting


I am not a big fan of face painting. I don't think I will ever add it to my kids party.

But this year we attended the baby event at pier 87, Melissa was there doing face painting.
I have to admit she is pretty amazing. If I ever want to get an artist, Melissa would def be my first choice.




Here is my baby girl
