Not So New Stuff In My Make-Up Purse

Hey guys! It's been a real long while since I've posted something here, but I'm back now! Unfortunately, I will just be kind of updating my "What's In My Purse?" entry. I've been using other kinds of make-up lately and I would just like to say a few things about them.

First off is my Clinique Sheer Powder Blusher (Posy Blush) vs my old Fashion 21 Single Blush-On (1).




Obviously, I've been using it a lot. I love this blusher so much. It's matte and it's just the right shade for me. I use it all the time as opposed to the Fashion 21 one since it had some shimmer on and it was too much for me on an everyday look. So, I'm not sure how much this costs and I'm not sure if it really is for sale cause from what I remember, this type of packaging and in this size, I believe it's a sample. I'm not sure though. But I checked on ebay and their selling it for almost $12.00, I think. I also checked on Clinique and this kind of blusher isn't available. But I bet their other blushers are still amazing, as usual. They sell blushers for $19.00 up.


Next stop is my Godiva Lip Gloss vs my old Human Heart Nature Organic Lip Balm (Watermelon)


I know it says "lip gloss" but really, it works as a lip balm. And I got it in orange flavor since they didn't the the bubble gum one at that time. But anyway, I can't say that I really love this but I love that fact that it kind of has a mint after-feel on it. That's my favorite part. I changed my old lip balm cause I was looking for something that lightens my lip color and my sister said this works. Well, it haven't really done much on my lips and I'm still searching for other lip treatments that will do the trick. Any suggestions? But for the moment, this will do.


The last one on my list is my MAC Frost Lipstick (Colour Me Coral) vs my Estee Lauder Pure Color Long Lasting Lipstick/ Rouge (161 Pink Parfait) and Anna Sui Lip Rouge (17)




I use this lipstick as a base. I don't really wear this color alone, it's always with a pink lip gloss or I top it with another lipstick. It works great as a primer! ;) So what I do is, I put my lip balm first, then this lipstick then I top it with my favorite lip gloss; LR Cosmetics Lip Gloss (3). It gives the perfect shade that I love that is perfect for any occasion. So, MAC frost lipsticks costs $14.50, but I'm not sure how much it costs in the Philippines. Oh yea, MAC is already open here in Cebu and I'm so happy about it but sadly, I can't afford it. And, I haven't checked it out yet. There's too much hype at the moment. Maybe I'll visit once it cools down.

So, that's about it! I have more to share but I have to watch How I Met Your Mother. :)
