Noel & Via

Things I was so grateful for this year:

1. parlor time with my Mom and sis (only our Mom is not in the photo)

2. quiet time with Noel at this very good resto in Alabang called The French Corner

3. expansion of the Tech Tote in terms of distribution. It's now available in all Powerbooks stores save for Megamall, Glorietta and Cebu. It's all available in all Crossings Department stores except for Quezon Ave.

4. better health

5. more savings and investments

6. lots of fun family time

They finally came! So exciting! My order from Mad Minerals arrived yesterday. Isn't the mini kabuki brush adorable in baby pink?

My fascination with mineral make-up started late last year when I discovered Sophie and Tin's mineral make-up shop, BeautyandMinerals in multiply. It's great because her sample baggies just cost PhP 100.00 so you can test all manner of shimmer and sparkle without denting your wallet too much. And no guilt after having purchased huge quantities that you'll never use up. Yes, I am a big mineral make-up fan!!! (especially after the free loot bag I got from the La Vista Bazaar) I really liked Blusche Minerals mineral foundation in Irish Creme. And they have a shop in Greenhills One Shopping Plaza open till the 16th!!!
Here's a before and after shot of the make-over I got from Tin at the La Vista bazaar Beauty and Minerals Booth:
