Longer and Thicker Eyelashes

Do you use eye shadow? Do you use those eyelash curling thingamajigs? You probably said “yes” to both questions.

Do you have long eyelashes and have no need to attach false ones? Have you ever wished that there is something like “best eyelash growth enhancer” that will help you have longer and thicker eyelashes like these?

You can play on your eyes to make it look like you have long and thick eyelashes by asking your favorite makeup artist for help.

The use of eyelash curlers and mascara can help. I think. I’m sure there are lots of other eye makeup paraphernalia one can find. Am a noob with makeup.

If in case you don’t have a makeup artist, there are videos in the internet that can teach you how. Go, look for these videos and have those longer and thicker eyelashes that you are looking forward to having.

Korean Cosmetics Nature Republic Opens in SM Fairview

Nature Republic, Korea’s famous cosmetic store recently opened its third branch in the Philippines when it inaugurated Nature Republic at Ground Floor, Main Building at SM City Fairview last November 11, 2011.

Ms Marjorie Lee and Mr Tad Huang for the ribbon-cutting ceremony of Nature Republic SM Fairview store blessing and opening.

The two other stores are the flagship outlet at Festival Supermall in Alabang and Nature Republic SM North EDSA, The Block.

What sets Nature Republic apart from other cosmetic companies is that uses state-of-the-art facilities for their products that use the most natural ingredients for world-class and superior quality products. These are incorporated in different Nature Republic products: Blue Lagoon water from Polynesia; Glacial Water from the Alps; Deep Sea Water from Greenland; Ocean Area Pine Tree from France; Hawaiian Hibiscus; Madagascar Butdelria; Morocco Monoi; gold Caviar; North American Kawai; and other similarly exotic and efficacious extracts and substances

The price range is good because most of the products are affordable starting from PhP60 – Php300. There are pricier products that range from PhP1,000 – PhP2,500 or thereabouts.

Jang Geun Suk (JGS or Sukkie) is Nature Republic’s major endorser. *hears shrieks*

Here are some of the products that can be bought at Nature Republic stores:

One can spend a lot of time (and money too, LOL) inside this store. After the doors were opened to the public, so many people went inside to buy stuff.

I did too! I got several items that I am currently using: Aloe Vera Gel and Cheek/Lip tint 🙂

Frugal Christmas Gift Ideas

I have several things in my (mental) list of what I want to do for Christmas in terms of having yet another round of frugal Christmas gift ideas.

Of course, the notepads are a priority because the daughters requested I do these for their gifts. I’m slowly filling up my list and got some toys at a recent toy sale.

Should I do baked goodies again but do it differently? I think I should especially since I discovered about cookie bouquets. Of course it is easy to just send cookie bouquets but to actually make these myself would make me feel good albeit super tired. Let me say that I just love the idea of these cookie bouquets!

I’m guessing I’ll be adding cookie cutters in my list of to-buy 😀

Now how to do the frosting…

More Car Show Photos

Car shows do not just showcase new rides, new products and services, lovely ladies and colorful paints. Car shows showcase intricate light arrangements to play on the cars’ features and highlights.

Below are some photos featuring the play of light, taken from a car show we attended last summer.
