The sneakiest sneak peek
Thursday, October 11, 2012 at 8:48AM There's a survey that says that the marketing and PR industry is the #2 most caffeinated of them all. I'm in it and I like caffeine (tea please!) but I don't normally rely on stimulating beverages to get me through the day. But! This month is so hectic that I might need to start smoking tea! (Random, I just googled that and people actually do smoke tea leaves. FYI. Don't do it though, you will still kill your lungs.)
Anyway, I'm planning and hosting two events to be executed in the next two weeks, plus there are so many beauty releases this month. If September is fashion month, October has got to be the beauty month. The holiday season is near so people are starting to shop for gifts and prettifiers to use for the inevitable string of parties. Beauty brands know this so they're either launching or promoting their best products of the year!
I thought I'd show you a sneak peak of what I'll be talking about in the coming days. Here are a few new things I received in the last two weeks - Lucas Papaw and Bioderma from Digital Traincase, Kiehl's, the new Revlon ColorStay nail polishes, and some Revlon lippies that I requested for. I wanted to show you new swatches of shades I like from their lipstick line!
And here are some basic things from Beauty Bar (lip balm, soap, masks), the Clinique Moisture Surge spray (IKR?), and the new Kiehl's fragrance. Oh and if you look to the top left in the photo below, that's the new 100% organic Juice Beauty collection with Alicia Silverstone and the Karl Lagerfeld for Shu Uemura Holiday Collection!
Oh and here's a blurry pic of my first ever Japonesque brush. It's a double-sided brush, meaning one side is synthetic while the other is animal hair. How cool is that? MAC released a brush like this in a limited edition collection early this year (I think) but I didn't buy because it was too pricey. This one from Japonesque is unbelievably affordable given that it's, well, Japonesque. It's only P895! 0_0 Japonesque brushes are usually P2,000+ each but this is a steal considering. So I didn't think twice about it and just bought it while I was at Beauty Bar yesterday.
Okay I'm giddy. I can't wait to start using all these products and of course telling you all about them. As usual, do let me know which ones you're interested in the month so I can give them priority. ;)
Cheers!
PS I feel bad that I haven't replied to comments and your emails lately. I only have a limited time to spend on my blog for now, but rest assured I am reading everything and feeling inspired by your kind words!

I am in love with Mon Shu Red! When is the Karl L. line coming to Manila? I read November daw.
There's a small Bioderma bottle??? I thought they came in big bottles!!??
Oh wow. I have a chance pala to try that!
And I'm looking forward to the Loofah soap post.
I have a thing for oatmeal soaps but Metro no longer carries the Oatmeal soap that works.
And I saw that Loofah soap in Beauty bar but not sure if works so I'm glad you got one.
Looking forward to a review!

Wow Liz that's a lotta loot! I'm excited for your post this month its gonna be interesting :) I'm most excited about the bioderma makeup remover. You and Bridgette said on your twitter accounts that it removes Majo's mascaras and it doesn't sting the eyes.
Looking forward for your posts :)
Beauty bar is my happy place but I must admit I havent been there in a while as I'm trying NOT to be robbed by retail. I wanna know how the Bioderma works and the Mon Shu products too! I have read about Shu's 10th Anniv gift sets and it makes me drool. :p
And now...we are ABSOLUTELY drooling!! I am eyeing on Juice Beauty skin care review. :)
Great stuff! I can't wait for Shu's holiday collection too. They're celebrating their 10th anniversary too :) Need to save up for lovely Shu products hehe I'm always excited for your new posts :) and I'm really happy you keep 'em coming hehe good luck with your events, Liz! All the best :)
Honestly, i'm not familiar with all the products you mentioned. Well one things for sure i know what a nail polish and brush is, haha. I'm not even familar with some brands you said there, cz these are not available in our province yet (or will never be); so i cant really emmit an "OMG im so excited" feeling. But thats the thing I like about your blog, i'm constantly learning new things, new products, whats it for and all that. Its like u being my teacher; u talk and rave about almost anything, i listen and follow ;) cheers!
EYEGASM!!! :) That's alot of awesome products you got there Ms, Liz! Looking forward to reading reviews from the products you mentioned in the next few days. What a wonderful way to start the month of October with. G'd day & keep on smiling Ms. Liz!
I spy my favorite! Bioderma Crealine! Is the brand Manila bound, finally? :o I'm so excited for your Be Fine & the Revlon nail polishes reviews! <3
Ay not reading! From digitaltraincase pala! Will buy one nga. Thanks Liz!
Curious about Lucas Papaw and the Shu Uemura collection! Well about everything actually! :D
aww, you have such a nice job Ms. Liz! I envy you :)
Bioderma (because I don't know what it's for), Revlon lipsticks (because I'm a sucker for lipsticks), and the one with Alicia Silverstone (because I don't know what Juice Beauty is and the fact that she's Alicia Silverstone ahaha). Thanks for the little preview. Can't wait to read your thoughts on the products :D
I want to see the Revlon lipstick swatches. hehe. I love Revlon lipsticks! Also want to read about the Kiehl's stuff, Juice Beauty, Shu Uemura collection...pretty much everything you got. haha.
That's a lot of products to road test and blog.
I'm curious about this Lucas Papaw because a lot of beauty bloggers are talking about it. I wonder how it fares. Looking forward to your review...
Will be waiting for your kiehl's perfume review :)
Wow!!! :D Ang dami!! :D Ate, is the brush your using really affecting the way your make-up looks? I mean, hindi ba pwedeng fingers nalang gamitin? Malaki po ba ang difference pag iba't ibang brushes ang ginamit?
