Baby No. 3

I recently jumped on the Clarisonic bandwagon!

I told myself I'd control my spendings, but Best Friend was buying one and she found a pretty good deal. So I got mine a bit earlier than expected. I guess it'll be my birthday present for myself (hopefully my only one..unless I can't control myself =X).

I've been wanting one since the whole wave of raves (lol) that were coming out last year for it. I really wanted to see how well it would fair on my very acne prone and extremely combination skin (especially right now in the winter). I did try a regular facial brush before from The Body Shop after hearing how they could be similar to the Clarisonic but that just left my face feeling very raw..eek!

I am hoping I could update often with the progression of my skin condition. Maybe weekly or every couple of weeks? I hope I don't go through the purging process that some users went through but if that'll lead to a better complexion..bring it on! :D






Of course I had to get it in purple! ^__^






Baby No.2 hasn't faced the blogging world yet but its kiddies have been on here for quite some time now. Maybe I'll do a separate post later on dedicated to it :P

Has anyone else tried/want to try the Clarisonic cleansing system? If yes what kind of results did you have?

I'm not a loser! :]

Hehe Corny Title...I know :P

It's always so exciting to get things in the mail! A couple of weeks ago I won BirkinBagBeauty's Valentine Giveaway. Like all the other times I was expecting much. And I misread and thought I was just getting one of the items she showed but I actually won all of them (silly me!).

I'm very happy I have these since they're probably things I wouldn't buy (as of right now) because I haven't gravitated my interests towards red polishes and eyeshadows yet. More products for me to play with ^__^

Thank you again for the lovely giveaway & the extras you included!!

Wonder Woman!!

I didn’t grow up watching/reading Wonder Woman but she is nonetheless a classic heroine. Wonder Woman + MAC + oversized jumbo products = EXCITEMENT :] But I have to admit..I definitely have a problem if no one realized already =X I think I’m going to limit my MAC/high end purchases until I actually used a lot of the products that I currently have or until April when this certain MAC collection comes out with mineralized blushes. Don’t judge me..! *Looks away*

The products that I purchased were all limited edition and twice the sizes of normal products. This is the only reason why I allowed myself to purchase these items. They’re twice the size but not double in price. I’m in denial. I can’t control myself! Making up excuses all the time for my spendings..

I was actually able to get these a day before the official release at the MAC pop-up store in Soho. I’m not sure if it’s a permanent store or not because MAC Soho’s original location (literally 2 store away from this pop-up location) was already being renovated for something else. The pop-up store was completely decorated with the Wonder Woman theme. I wonder if they’re going to be changing it once this collection fades out?



What pretty packaging!
I already keep the boxes of most of the products I purchase, but when I do decide to throw those away..this will not be one of them :P


Inside of the boxes. So patriotic!

It looks a little cheap IMO But it is pretty sturdy plastic.

I think this one is more true to the color in the pan.

This one is closer to the true color. It might be a smidgen darker though.

Did anyone find this collection captivating? Who else couldn't pass up on the jumbo products?
I was also interested in a lip gloss but decided against it since I don't even wear lip products often.
I'll try to post comparison photos to show you just how jumbo these products are soon! ^__^ You'll be very surprised if you haven't already seen it.
