Week's Obsessions: Reviews

I got my long overdue and long anticipated stack of SODEXO last week and I was soo thrilled to purchase stuff I would not normally pay over the counter with cash or card. The good thing about SODEXO's is that while they  are equivalent to money, since your not giving out the actual cash, di ka nanghihinayang. So I splurged last week.

One of my amazing purchases is the Maybelline Hypercurl Volum' Express in its new packaging. I am the kind of person with 'kinaingin' eyebrows that I painstakingly groom every week to prevent it from looking sparse and I also have rather thin and sparse eyelashes. I tried a lot of mascaras from cheap ones to kinda pricier kinds but none worked. I tried falsies but since I'm wearing contacts it's such a hassle. I tried eyelash extensions when Taylor Swift had her concert in Manila but well, that was just temporary. So when I tried Maybelline's Hypercurl Volum' Express, I was surprised to get amazing results. My sparse lashes not only lengthened and thickened, it curled as well. The bristles of the mascara have the ability to pick up even the thinniest of lashes and make it defy gravity. I would not curl my lashes with a curling clip but after I put the mascara, I would, although just ever so gently so that I don't ruin my lashes. It is even more amazing if you place mascara in a downward motion first then upward so that your lashes are coated on top and at the bottom. For P250, it's a good buy!

I also got Skin Cravings Scrub Me Pretty in Strawberry Yogurt and Skin Cravings Smooth Over Lotion in Choc Mint. I love the scrub. It has a luxurious feel and it really smells yummy. The scent retains on your skin and lingers even when I'm already styling my hair. The plus side is that it is so moisturizing that you won't even find the need to put any lotion. The lotion smells like Dynamite candy and it is kinda cool. It has a tingling sensation without the heavy feel. These stuff I just read in Cosmo and they can only be bought in selected stores these days. I got mine from Shopwise for more than P150 each (I forgot the actual price).

Lastly, this week I'm obsessing about Tanesha Awasthi, blogger, plus size model and uber chic thrifter. she's behind girlwithcurves.tumblr.com and I just love her style that I read her posts in my work station despite risks of being caught. Check her out thru girlwithcurves.tumblr.com.

By the way, I cut my curls this week. That was a bad decision espeially since the hairdresser murdered my mane. But anyway, whatever happened, already happened. No use musing on it. I'll grow anyway but seeing how Tanesha Awasthi rock her curls, I just miss mine the more.
