I'm a huge Taylor Swift fan - probably not as huge as my friend Nette, who always claims Taylor Swift as her celebrity lookalike during our training first day intros but huge enough to pine over this:
Taylor Swift is the newest CoverGirl and she's representing the new NatureLuxe collection. Despite the name, the newest CoverGirl collection is not an organic/minerals line. It is a drugstore label's attempt at targeting high-end consumers by releasing "lighter make-up" with "natural qualities". The collection will only have two products: liquid foundation and Gloss Balm.From the CoverGirl webbie:NatureLuxe Silk Foundation- Luxurious, lightweight feel
- Infused with jojoba and cucumber extract
- Silky formula goes on smooth for a polished finish
NatureLuxe Gloss Balm- Luxurious, sheer color with a hint of shine
- Lightweight feel of a balm
- SPF 15
The NatureLuxe collection is not yet available here in the Philippines. Or is it? If anyone has info, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know!Feeling:

Having recently been reacquainted with the joys of make-up play, I have started to again wear my favorite make-up item daily: the mascara. After a few days of wearing my favorite mascara, though, I noticed that I kept waking up with raccoon eyes. Clearly, my usual honey face and make-up cleanser was not enough to combat the ever persistent waterproof mascara. So I shopped around for a good eye make-up remover.I had my heart set for the L'Oreal Lip and eye make-up remover since my good friend Bianca highly recommends it - alas, it was out-of stock in the four malls I've been to. And if I wanted to keep wearing my dramatic lashes, I had to find an alternative stat. So I settled for Maybelline's Eye & Lip Make Up Remover. I thought, since it's the same brand as the mascara I use, maybe it will work.It did. Sort of.
When I first tried out Maybelline's make-up remover, it seemed to have done its job as my mascara (and shadow and liner) was cleaned out after the first swipe. I also loved the fact that it was unscented and didn't sting my eyes. It was mighty effective in cleaning out lipstick, too.What I didn't love, though, is that I still woke up with hints of black under my eyes. And this happened the next day, as well. I realized that Maybelline's make-up remover doesn't really entirely clean out waterproof mascara. So on the third night, I had to redo swiping my eyes. That did the trick.Though swiping my eyes twice is but a small price to pay in making sure that I get to bed with a clean face, it also meant that my 70ml bottle didn't last too long. And that sucks for a beauty on budget.So, will I be purchasing this again? Maybe, when I'm a few bucks short of getting the L'Oreal brand. But ever since finishing up the first bottle, I have started using L'Oreal's make-up remover. And I have to say I'm liking it better. But more on that on another review post.Feeling:

I don't know about you guys, but the ABS-CBN series Mutya just does not make sense to me (or my friends, to whom this post I dedicate).I have not been religiously watching the show but last night, while visiting my friend Mika's sister at the hospital, I got a chance to see the storyline. It's about a merkid named Mutya. Now get this: she is actually the daughter of a human and a merman. My friends and I were like, "What?" And I ask, "How does a merman get a human pregnant? Does he have a, you know, pikachu?"So I blog, in the hopes that you guys can enlighten me. But I seriously doubt it.* * * *
Twitter bore sad, sad news today. Rest in peace, Angelo Reyes.Feeling:

Lovapaloser.That's how my friends and I usually celebrate Cupid's day. Lovapaloser usually consists of talks and drinks and basically anything that will make us forget we are - yet again - dateless on February 14th. And this year, I probably need that day with friends more than I have any other year.I am not getting any younger, I know that. And recently, I've told myself that maybe it's time I give myself the chance to be with someone who is dead sure he wants to be with me...and not someone who wants to play everything by the ear. But why do I feel like I'm going to eat those very words?A blast from the past has recently reappeared in my life. And tonight he told me that I shouldn't be expecting anything from what we currently have. That if it's gonna work...it just will. And all I said was, "Okay." Because I realized that it's really okay. That at the end of the day, it's really about who you want and not who wants you.So I guess it will be another year at the lovapaloser zone for me. Good thing I have friends to celebrate this cursed day of the year.Kampay!(Pardon this post. It was done in free write.)Feeling:
