Make Up Sale @ Watsons Greenhills

I ran out of cosmetic supplies last week… and I already asked our Marce (who’s coming home) to buy some supplies for me at Walmart (mas mura doon promise!).. but when we went to Greenhills last Sunday to buy a new phone (the cheapest Nokia, that’s another story) I just couldn’t resist shopping for supplies, specially that most cosmetics at Watsons were on sale! argh!

L’Oreal and Maybelline is on sale for Philippine Fashion Week, L’Oreal is at 20% off while Maybelline is at 30% off. I bought my primer and foundation at L’Oreal and Mascara for Maybelline. I also bought a lipstick at Maybelline, the same pinkness I have been using for months. I am just glad that Maybelline Philippines now carries that shade (hello Fuchsia Fever).

You might wonder why a full time needs/ consumes that much cosmetics?

er I wear make up everyday..it makes me feel “ready” with my “work” (read: household chores and a lot more).. it also allows me to have a ME time which I think is very important to all mommies..and of course it gives me time to explore my creativity (most of the times I feel like my face is a canvass LOL)

This is actually how my day starts (uhmm after metafit and taking a bath)

Zen Zest Eau de Toilette Collection (Men and Women)

I’ll go for Tangerine, Mulberry, Teal, Silver and Black.

Green is still my favorite color though.. and I am not talking about colors from the colors I mentioned above… sounds confusing eh?

Tangerine, Mulberry, Teal, Silver and Black are the scents that light my olfactory bulb.. I mean scents that I liked from an afternoon of fragrance with Zen Zest. There were 18 EDT displayed on our table (including their collection which will be released this April), 8 bottles for women and 10 for men.. and each bottle has a scent of its own that gives a lasting impression to anyone who’ll smell it. I chose Tangerine, Mulberry, Teal, Silver and Black as my top because..

Tangerine (women) reminds me so much of summer.. a season I consider to be the most fun. The whiff of green melon essence on this bottle gives a breeze even on a hot summer afternoon.

Mulberry (women) is so fresh and smells so fruity. It is something that I can wear everyday!

Teal (for men) is a scent that would make me want to tops whatever I’m doing and just spend an afternoon with my man..

Silver is so clean..I love it for that basic reason.

Black.. is so strong… it radiates confidence..

If you’re on the look out for your next EDT purchase, here are the list of ZEN ZEST EAU DE TOILETTE and a short description of each (from Zen Zest.. green- my opinion)
