Sedona Lace | 4-Piece Midnight Lace Face Brush Set

I honestly have more than enough makeup brushes that I couldn’t really ask for any more; but it wouldn’t hurt to add more, right? When Sedona Lace offered me the 4-Piece Midnight Lace Face Brush Set, I couldn’t say no! Just after a few days of waiting, look what came in the mail!

Aren’t they lovely?! I haven’t seen pink-dark purple ombré bristles before!

-The Midnight Lace Set features superiorly developed, synthetic brushes for advanced makeup application.

-The amazingly soft, synthetic bristles allow for less shedding and less wasted product.

-The bristles will absorb just the right amount of makeup on the surface of the brush for you to achieve an airbrushed finish to your makeup application.

-The shorter brush handles also offer more control and precision.

-You'll notice that the gorgeous pink bristles with dark purple tips not only look beautiful but they also show less makeup staining.

-This four piece complete set will give you the tools you need for perfect and effortless makeup application.

This set includes: Round Top Powder Brush, Flat Top Powder Brush, Angle Top Powder Brush, Kabuki Brush - Midnight Lace with black handle.

Retails at $49.95 (Currently OUT OF STOCK - EXPECTED ARRIVAL 1/21/2013) Pre-order now! Click here.

I can’t wait to try out these brushes! Will definitely follow up a review + a makeup tutorial on how to use these brushes!

If there is one thing I would suggest to give as a gift to a makeup enthusiast this season, it would be acrylic organizers.

Using acrylic organizers is a great way to neatly organize makeup on your desk/bathroom/vanity. There are a lot of styles and sizes of these acrylic organizers making you able to fit the makeup products you particularly use on a daily basis. I’ve seen RissRose’s (Marissa on YouTube) acrylic organizers about a year ago and I can still remember the feeling of really wanting the same thing.

A few months ago I saw acrylic organizers at National Bookstore. Of all places to find acrylic makeup organizers. Haha! I bought my very first one for about 100+ (you can watch the haul video where I included the organizer here) If there’s one thing I hate about acrylic organizers, it would have to be having to dust each product one by one! That’s just it!

Anyway, if you follow my Facebook Page, I posted a photo earlier featuring three (3) beautiful acrylic organizers for makeup from www.facebook.com/13thshoest. Remember this vlog? The online store’s owner, Zerni Lim, came to the SuperSale Bazaar to personally meet me and give me 3 organizers to try out. Zerni even told me she’s willing to giveaway one of each acrylic organizer to three (3) subscribers of my YouTube channel/readers of my blog! 

Let’s look at each style one by one:

(ACRYLIC ORGANIZERS ONLY, PRODUCTS NOT INCLUDED)

Style 1—this style lets you put in different makeup products in any compartment! You can put in brushes, lip glosses, compact powders, blush…etc! It also has the protective cover which prevents dust from coming in in the second layer.

Style 2—makeup brush/lip gloss holder + 2 slots for compact makeup products *This reminds me of test tube holders back in high school!

Style 3—24-slot lipstick organizer

Now, weren’t those all gorgeous?!

I was really supposed to post the video for this giveaway, but since my mouth is still healing from a disastrous encounter with the wire of my braces, I am compensating with this blog entry!

For the first part of the mechanics you have to do the following:

1. Like www.facebook.com/13thshoest on Facebook

2. Post on their wall saying, “I’d like to win one of the three acrylic makeup organizers from Say’s giveaway because ___________________!”

3. Stay tuned for my video featuring the 3 acrylic organizers—the last step of the mechanics will be included there! I’ll be linking the video here once the video goes live within this week!

4. Comment in this post! Share your thoughts about acrylic organizers!

Giveaway will run from December 12 – December 24. 3 winners. 3 prizes.

Good luck everyone!

NEW HAIR COLOR | Going Red with Pink Cuts Salon!

I was almost hesitant to get a hair color change since I really loved the previous one that the wonderful team of Pink Cuts Salon gave me. I knew I wanted to get a fresh new color though, since about 1 inch of my roots have already grown, and overall, I was just really excited to try something new!

I received another invitation from my good friend, and owner of the beautiful Pink Cuts Salon, Marie Imperial, for a treatment! She was so sweet to invite Mark as well! Marie is one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met. I don’t personally know her, but she watches my vlogs! It’s amazing how she’s totally updated about my life! 

 

We booked as soon as we could, and come Sunday, Mark & I headed out for our appointment.

Pink Cuts Salon is now sporting a very Chrismas-y look! Everything was so pink (as usual) and gorgeous! There was this beautiful Christmas tree with all the pink ornaments, bows all over the place, and of course, the gorgeous giant teddy sitting prettily on the couch.

 Look at these adorable pink chairs!

Here is how my hair looked like before the new color! Note: my hair is still damp because I just washed it before coming to the salon.

 It’s also my first time to take my boyfriend to the salon! The last time, I took April with me! :)

Sir Rene, Pink Cuts Salon’s creative director/stylist, recommended I get one of the trendiest color this season—RED! He didn’t want my color to look too red, though. He picked the color #745 (L’Oreal)

As for Mark, Sir Rene suggested a subtle brown shade, slightly darker than Marie’s boyrfriend’s hair color. They used L’Oreal’s Intense Ash 8.11 (20% volume)

Did you know?

OK! Magazine’s December 2012 Issue is the LAST ISSUE EVER. (I wanna cry!!!!) It got cancelled for some reason I don’t understand. I’m surely going to miss this. This is my #1 favorite magazine ever. (OK! Magazine fans, cry with me….)

The final issue is without a doubt, another amazing one. Shoutout to the magazine’s amazing editor, Frances Sales!  I met her during a blogger’s event for Myra E at Thai Pan last year. She is an amazing woman!!!

My simple arm candy for the day: bracelet from SNS Accessories, Casio watch from Alboe Fashion. Red & gold = adorable combo! Forever favorite.

After shampooing…

You can already kinda see the reds!

Look at my handsome’s lovely color!

Styling made by the amazing Sir Rene!

So happy with our new colors! Mark got his haircut by Sir Bryan, too! Everything looked so neat, I love it!

Here comes self-portraits! If you’re wondering, I am using my NIKON D5100 :)

Looks copper-ish in the photo, but it’s redder in person! Isn’t it super lovely!

I had to take a shot with the purple sofa!

Here’s a shot of me and Mark with our new colors!

I am totally inlove with my new color! Pink Cuts has done it again!
