mon teint de maquillage

3 comments

I am a girl. And I like to make myself pretty. Cos I am a girl and that is what girls do. :) And for this, sometimes I am glad that I am a girl because I get to make myself pretty and dress up when I feel like it – well, that is depending on the occasion, too. So, I’ll show some of my ‘assistants’  and tell you what they do. :)

Since this picture is clear enough, you could see clearly what I used.

The Face Shop – Colour Nuance for Cheek

I chose the one with the code BR803. I guess because of all the unwanted sun-bathing that I was forced to have during my days as an undergraduate, I opted for something not too light nor bright pinks else I would look weird with white pink puffed on both my cheeks. But I was surprised with the effect of this blush as it gave me a pink undertone, which I fell in love with so much. And I like the texture of this product too! Powdery until the very end. Well, there’s proof that I was using it till the metal below it is showing! Why do I still keep it? I just love it so much that even now I don’t use it anymore (cos I couldn’t get it in Fredericton as they only have in Canada West and I don’t think The Faceshop has online store – yet), I keep for the sake of the memory that it has been with me and I am definitely going to get some more of this when I have the chance.

Revlon Colour Stay – Mineral Finishing Powder

010 Brighten. Use it for highlighting your features that you want them to stand out. Especially the T-zone. The mineral powder gives a soft shimmer to your face and it has light reflective particles to give you a little of that glamorous subtle shimmer. Since I am naturally a very tanned person, I don’t need to use any tanning products. But for brightening my facial features, highlights are a vital step to give that glow to my face.

Estee Lauder Signature Blush – Silky Powder Blush


21 Peach Nuance. I love this product too. Don’t need to use much. I love the gradual transient of the colour from yellow to a nice peach red. Just like the skin of the peach. :)   From the picture above, you know what I meant. Giving you more dynamic colours to your blush palette and hence on your cheeks.

Bourjois Blush


95 Rose de Jaspe. It reminds me of Revlon’s blush pot a little. But I haven’t use that. At first I like how it felt – the powdery substance. After a while, it sort of like lose its fine powdery substance after a few usage. But I guess I am the one with the complaints. Hey, can’t blame for mentioning this after using other products that I find more satisfying. One good thing about this blush is that it’s handy to bring around and I do love how the colour pigments of this colour pot could offer you in its little chic pot.

Maybelline – Dream Mousse Blush

25 Rose Petal. Another rose coloured blush. A deeper shade of pink or some might say it has the tendency towards plum coloured. Anyways, what I like about this is the creamy texture that glides on your cheeky cheeks. For those who wants to have more natural looking flushed cheeks, this is one product that you should try. A little goes a long way. I like this because I can just apply this just using my fingers without having the need to have a blush brush. :)

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10

No comments

What is so interesting about this phone? First of all, it is Sony Ericsson’s first attempt at an Google Android phone. It is also one of the few smartphones which has a 4″ display and a 1GHz Snapdragon processor. It is a really tempting phone to get. The only complaints I have so far is the Android on the phones are version 1.6 and expected to be updated to 2.1 around Fall 2010, sometime in September. Another issue is the lack of multitouch which was made famous by the Apple iPhone. Even though Sony Ericsson’s PR department has mentioned that multitouch will not come to the X10 due to a hardware limitation rather than a software limitation, there are some sources pointing that multitouch is indeed possible with the Xperia X10. A new Xperia X10 is available from Rogers at around $149 for a 3 year smartphone plan. I am looking forward to this phone though stock has really been very very limited. Wherever I went so far has seen this product sold out and more is expected to come in soon… hopefully.

Mei’s Chinese Restaurant

74 Regent Street
Fredericton, NB E3B 3W4
(506) 454-2177

What do you do when you miss food from home? Feeling like eating something hot and spicy for the winter? Really miss Chinese food? If you are in Fredericton, drop by Mei’s Chinese Restaurant and feel the quality of the food. I was really surprised and really liked the food so much that I went there multiple times already. Service is very good… they give good recommendations and care about the quality. The food was really really good… we like our food spicy… from the pictures you can see the redness of the food… but you can also order a milder variation if you prefer it not hot. They can cater for your specific needs… we even changed some of the ingredients in one or two of the dishes. The tea is really good too… especially the Chrysanthemum tea… feels refreshing and nice. It is also located in downtown Fredericton which is easy to reach and the price is good and reasonable. The only complaint I have is the environment could be improved… but no big deal… main thing is the food… great food. I recommend this place for having a meal with friends or family.
