Unicorns Dream's Swag Box Giveaway Closed

Hello everyone and thank you for joining Unicorns Dream's Swag Box Giveaway! As of this moment, the Giveaway is officially closed. Thank you for all your entries. I'll be going over them and once I'm done checking validity, I'll draw a winner. Expect an announcement in the next few days. To refresh everyone's memory, you can see what's inside the box here. Good luck!

And before I go, I'd like to greet my dad a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! See you all soon :)

Free Manila Hotel Magique Gold Card

My family and I saw Varekai (for free! thanks to my aunt) the other week and among the sponsors was Manila Hotel. They were giving away stuff, including these Membership Cards. We don't need these, so I'll be giving them away to anyone willing to pay for shipping. They're valid until September 30 and you get special room rates and other privileges. (See the flyer below)

Priveleges, Terms and Conditions

What the card looks like. You may or may not get this one.

We have four of these, and I'll send them out to the first four who'll shoot me a comment below. Please leave your email address. Shipping is P50 within Metro Manila. I'll take shipping fees via GCash, BDO and BPI Family Savings Bank.

Super-sized Beauty: MAC WW

I love getting mail. It might be a package, a letter, even my credit card statement (dread starts to kick in when I open it) but getting any sort of mail makes me happy. Imagine my giddiness when I see not one, but two boxes. Then imagine me gasping then shrieking when I see that they're both from Nordstrom. What's inside:

I'm late to the party, but I'm so happy! MAC wasn't kidding when they said Wonder Woman Colour products were super-sized. Below is my size comparison photo, with WW MSF and blush beside a Pressed Blot Powder compact and regular blush.

Crazy huge! See how all the other products dwarf in comparison to the MSF? It's the one with the gold band. It's a giant, yes. And the blush is the size of my Blot Powder. My Well Dressed blush feels left out. I haven't tried them yet, but I'll send in a report once I do. I'll tell you if this will be the feminine force that saves my day :)

Pucker Up with Maybelline Lip Smooth Color Bloom

See my post on Maybelline Lip Smooth Color Bloom for my review.

A reader requested swatches for Color Bloom, but since I only have Peach Blossom, that's what I'll show you. Here's the first picture with nothing on my lips.

And here's the second with Maybelline Lip Smooth Color Bloom on.

The color is subtle, but not light enough to be invisible on my lips. Ladies with more pigmented lips may not find the color change to be enough, while ladies with lighter lips may experience a more dramatic color change effect.

I don't know why I keep on posting photos of me without make up. I don't have great skin, and there was only one time in my life when a lady (a complete stranger, no less) came up to me at the mall and told me I had very nice skin. I guess this is me learning to be comfortable in my own skin. Please excuse the red-rimmed eyes and eye bags.
