COVERGIRL EXCLUSIVE: DECEMBER 2014 BDJ UNBOXING

Received my December BDJ a week ago and was not able to post my unboxing until today because of the activities that hovers me this month. And boy! was I surprise? I think that's an understatement. Why? Because I just got an exclusive Covergirl present from them  *tee-hee*

What do you think are inside this gorgeous box?  Let's check it together!

Katy Perry is definitely Superb here!

I haven't tried any CoverGirl products before so this will definitely my first to test it. Let's have a closer look of each items.

TRUBLEND LIQUID MAKEUP
Full Size: 30 ml Php 645 ($14.50)

Product Description: A liquid Foundation that provides smooth full coverage for a flawless natural-look. You won't even know where your makeup ends and where your skin begins. Available in 21 shades to perfectly match 99% of all skin tones.

I'm excited to try this foundation if it will gonna be the same effect as what bb creams do...

TRUBLEND PRESS POWDER
Full Size: 11 ml Php 425 ($9.50)

Product Description: Has silky-smooth formula that adapts perfectly to your skin tone. A perfect coverage to achieve a fresh no makeup look. Especially designed to match with the TruBlend Liquid Makeup. A lightweight formula that controls shine and doesn't clog pores.

Not a fan, but since the description says that it is perfect to combine with the liquid makeup I am in to try it.

CHEEKERS BLUSH*
Full Size: 3g - Php 395 ($8.85)

Product Description: Get easy and natural peachy flush with a portable mini-compact that gives you subtle highlights that goes on to stay-true, stay natural-looking for hours. A sassy way to give life to your cheeks exclusively available only at BDJ Box.

Woohoo, gotta love being one of those who can road test this product before it will actually hit the market hahaha. I'm a blush fanatic, may it be powder, pressed, tint, etc. I will definitely hoard them. Blush for me makes my complete everyday no make up look and this shade is just perfect together with that nude pinkish lippy and a mascara 

EYE ENHANCERS 4 KIT SHADOWS
Full Size: 5.5g Php 450 ($10.06)

Product Description: All on-the-go eye shadow palette that is designed to emphasize the eyes naturally for a day to night look. These easy to blend colors give radiant glow to your eyes without over shadowing it.

I'm not a fan of eye shadows, but I love nude colors so I might try this and check how pigmented they are!

LASHBLAST LENGTH MASCARA

Product Description: This LashBlast Length Mascara is definitely a wand to keep! It provides flake-free application that give full lash coverage for bold, noticeable lashes. Its waterproof formula will give you irresistible eyes, rain or shine!

I love Mascaras, so definitely this is the first product from the box that got my attention. I'm so looking forward to try this and make a review about it.

So, WOW that's all in full size and everything that are included are worth to try. 

Only 5 items, but all are in full sizes. The whole box contents is worth Php 2365 roughly $52.97 definitely a stealfor a Php580 ($14)!

GORGEOUS WINTER NAILS IN A TROPICAL COUNTRY (JULEP STYLE)

♪♫♪ Sleigh bells ring, are you listening

      In the lane, snow is glistening

A beautiful sight,

We're happy tonight

                   Walking in a winter wonderland  ♪♪♫  

*sigh winter... too bad I live in a tropical country...

Good thing Julep fixed that for me 

(WAIT!!!! What??!!?? You mean it is possible to experience winter here?? Are you kidding me?!?)

(No? How?)

Hahahaha you heard me right. Julep teaches us how to WINTERIZE OUR NAILS.

Now ladies better calm yourselves and get that pen of yours, I know just like me you are also excited to see this amazing tips from one of the trusted brands of nail polish. So, I won't delay any further...

Make sure you do all 6 steps to achieve your goal and since Christmas is also a dry season here in the Philippines this also works for me. I couldn't help but to rave about how my nails look healthy and stronger. 

Aren't they fab?  They are the shortest I had so far. (I know your thinking about the #1 tip and yeah mine aren't what it state about short nails, but they are clean and comfy for me. )

Oh, before I forget here's Julep's winter polish shade you can use, though I prefer not to polish my nails this month I am still a certified nail polish enthusiast and I love what they offer for this season.

I love Shari and Kiki combined good for gradient style polish. Shari on top and Kiki on the lower part or do some snowflake nail art using Ilsa and Shari to complete the winter look.

Now who says we can't have winter here? 

And for my babes who's enjoying their winter season, you must try this tips to keep your mani's georgeous!

Don't forget to share your thoughts once you've tried this.

SCARYNOTSOSCARY: My First Try to Wakeboard :)

Whoa! first post after a decade hahaha. I am so excited to share with you my first try to wakeboard (finally!!!) Remember my first post about decawake park at clark, angeles city? Well, that was actually the start of a regular bonding session with my cousin. I wasn't really keen on trying to ride a board, be thrown on that water and dragged by the cable wire like I always see while watching those beginners take their turns. I mean who wants to experience such pain and embarrassment? but hey! that's not the end of the story yet. 

So, one day I wake up singing a different tune. "I wanna try to wakeboard!" FOR REAL no more scaredy cat, no more backing out! Woohoo  First thing in the morning I prepared the things that I will bring. 

extra clothes to change after    ☑

money                                        ☑

soap and shampoo                     ☑

yakult                                         ☑

And I'm ready!  Oh! I brought yakult just in case I'll be dragged out on the water and accidentally swallowed the water hahaha.

After 30 - 45 minutes drive from our place we've arrived at the decawake park. First thing to do is to go to the counter and register. After registration they will asked what package you'll avail then they will give you wrist bands. We've availed the P400 ($10) for 2 hours package. 

Bands color differs depending on the package you've availed.

They will also give you life vest, helmet and other basic equipment. If you have your own equipment you are entitled to a 10% discount. Beginners also have instructors that will teach them the basics for free! Isn't that great! Now that we've secured everything that we need we started to have a splash. 

SUPER FUN!!!

See that big grin in the middle? Obviously I've enjoyed my first wakeboarding experience. It was scary at first, but once you already get the hang of it you'll never want to come out of the water anymore .

How about you? Have you tried wakeboarding? Share your experience with me. I'm sure you had fun too! 

If you want to try it at Decawake Clark you can see more information on my previous post just click here.

Detailed reviews of the products are to follow so stay tuned!

And for this month's inspirational thought...

True that! Mirror can only see what is outside, it cannot determine how beautiful and wonderful YOU are inside. Everything that it shows you is just superficial. We are all GORGEOUS if the mirror says otherwise don't believe it. 

Excited to see also your unboxings! Did you receive the same items that I have in my box?
