UPDATE: What's in the Unicorns Dream Swag Box?

Will You Cringe at my New Fringe?

At the risk of permanently scarring you with my double chin and round face without a stitch of make up, here is me (in pajamas, ready for bed) with my new 'do! 

I got a cut-color-treatment combo at the salon. You can see a bit of the red color on the top of my head and on my bangs. It appears redder in person and brighter under sunlight. Despite my yellow undertones, I don't look like an oompa loompa, do I? 

Win From Mary Kay: Daddy & Me!

Mary Kay has another contest! This time, not only could you win an MKMen set for your dad, but you'll be getting the new Mary Kay Lash Love mascara for yourself too! Contest details in the image below. Good luck!

Cult Favorites: MAC Well Dressed and EOS Lip balms

Here's a teaser post with a picture of my latest purchases. Well, MAC Well Dressed doesn't actually count as my purchase, since it's Dad's early birthday present for me. I bought my EOS Lip balms from local online reseller Digital Traincase. She's a really nice and efficient seller! I've tried one balm so far and it's been an enjoyable experience so far. Reviews to follow. Okay, so here's the eye candy.

Blossom with Maybelline's Lip Smooth Color Bloom

Happy Hump Day everyone! How has this week been so far? I hope everything's been lovely for all of you, because today, we'll blossom with Lip Smooth Color Bloom by Maybelline. 

Color Bloom is the new color changing Lip Smooth balm from Maybelline. It comes in a small plastic lipstick twist tube in two variants, Pink Blossom and Peach Blossom. What I purchased is Peach Blossom since I already have Lip Ice Sheer Color, a nice bright pink. 

Peach Blossom

When you twist the product up, you're greeted by a sweet smelling, white balm. It applies clear, and then changes color in a few seconds. The light, peachy scent also dissipates in a few moments.  Since mine was Peach Blossom, I expected it to turn into coral. What I got was a light pink tint.  Otherwise, it glides on smoothly, has an SPF of 16 and is moisturizing compared to Lip Ice Sheer Color. I just wonder what the difference between Pink and Peach Blossom is, if Peach Blossom gives me a pink tint. Maybe Pink Blossom is pinker?

Another thing I like about it is the packaging. Although the tube is plastic, it does not seem too flimsy. The part you twist is not loose either; it does have some give. The cover also has a very cute flowery design along with the brand name printed on. It's a very nice touch that added some kawaii to otherwise boring tube packaging.

Product description and ingredients

 Maybelline Lip Smooth Color Bloom color changing lip balms come in Pink Blossom and Peach Blossom. It retails for P99 (for 1.7 grams) and is available at Maybelline counters. I got mine at the Maybelline counter at SM Makati's department store. The SA was really cute and nice. :)
