Essence

On my birthday weekend my sister and I decided to go out and check out this mall that has been under construction (and still is!! They are adding a hotel to the existing mall!) because I heard there was a lot to see there. Shops opening up and stuff. And to my surprise I discover this.

Ok if you follow me on Twitter you know I have been pestering my friend to check out the Essence booth to see if they sell their gel liners because I want to get my hands on them and no one has ever been to the booth. I heard a lot of good things about some of their products and I own a few which I loved! I won those in a giveaway last year. I love eyeliners and I always gravitate towards them. Since essence eyeliners are cheap and affordable enough, I decided to try them out.

I was looking for the sun club collection but they only had the regular line available. And some of the products are sold out but there was a variety to choose from. :) I was a happy camper. I wanted to try some of their nail polish but I didn't want to go crazy all at once so I will be back to get some. The colors are pretty so it is hard to make up my mind!

I posted this picture the day I bought them on instagram. I will do a post with swatches later. I need to take nicer pictures. :D I ended up getting the purple gel liner (I forgot the name of it), an eyeliner in Teddy, a metallic eyeliner in black knight and a lipgloss in trendsetter. My sister got the smokey eye kit. She said she didn't like it because it is not dark enough. I didn't get a chance to try it but we shall see.

I can't wait to go back because I heard a lot of people really like the XXXL lip gloss and I am curious. :P I use to love lip gloss but now I am so obsessed with red lipsticks! It is crazy. So if you want to send me something send me red lipsticks or eyeliners. LOL :P

Have you tried any Essence products?

So here goes my top 10 list:

1 CLK. If it is not clear yet he is the boyfriend ♥♥♥. We are in a long distance relationship and I mean literally. We've known each other about 3 1/2 years and been dating for almost 2 years. I love him dearly (^^,)v.

He prefers not to have his face all over the internet, too late baby~~ XDD

2 Lingerie. Honestly I love lingerie. I would totally spend a lot of money on them, especially something that would make me feel sexy. :D Can't blame me right? XD I love them with cute details and prints, not so much plain ones. I am planning to buy more cute lingerie!

Don't you just feel sexy in those? via diytrade.com

3 Kitties. Oh I am a kitty hoarder, like the real, living ones :P. Ok, I have a problem and I need to sort them out but don't you just love cats?? And how cute, funny, playful, adorable they are? And how every single one of them have their own personalities? Yes, yes and yes...see I can't help it. ;)

These are my babies when they were teeny tiny kittens...how I miss those times ♥♥♥

4 Family and friends. I love my family and friends (who doesn't?) even tho they are a bit weird and wacky sometimes. I do sometimes feel like ughhhh, but hey they are family (even the friends are like family to me!) and you can't live with them and you can't live without them. I ♥♥♥ everyone.   

My sisters and brother ♥♥♥

Lovely parents ♥♥♥

Old friends, whom I ♥♥♥

...and new friends, whom I am getting to know and ♥♥♥

5 Arsenal. And if you don't already read my blog, I am referring to the football club (or soccer to you Americans out there). I am quite the fan, not so die-hard that you need everything Arsenal. Arsenal this, Arsenal that...but I do love the game, sport, team, players...haha, they are hot stuff, can't say that I don't look. Love the game, club and players.

6 Poetry. I love poetry, I would search for them online (YAY for internet XD), read them, and write them. My muse use to be people that I love, angry situations, frustrations, sadness and lots of emotional things that I go through. Writing poetry is tough, really but I love it. My biggest fan is my boyfriend ♥♥♥. I still need to get myself a book of poetry.

7 Lip gloss. A girl can never have too many lip gloss right? I don't use a whole lot of lip gloss, but I love it and buy it as much as I can. :D

8 Music. I ♥♥♥ music. I love classical, R&B, punk rock, and mostly anything that sounds good to me. :D I listen to jazz too, but not very much, I can say I would listen to anything as long as it sounds good to me. :) I also love playing in the orchestra. It is one of the thing that could de-stress when the time gets tough.

Me and my violin :)

9 Books. I am a hoarder. Ok so I collect a lot of things, and books happen to be one of them. :) Yup I am guilty. 0.o I have books that are still new, that I haven't even open and read and some that are like half read cause they are boring. =__= My favorite authors (that I have read so far) are Jeffery Archer and Catherine Coulter. I realized I tend to buy books that are CSI-like, detectives, murder-solving-crimes, with some lil love story infused. I know...typical. =___='' I need to broaden my genre.

10 Clothes. :D Ohmygosh, who doesn't love clothes?? I admit I am not a fashion junkie and I don't follow the latest trend and whatnot but I still love clothes? Don't you?? I am so into dresses and sweater dresses (that I can't really wear here it's too hot =__='') and cardigans/sweater. :) They are good for layering. And you need some cute black dresses, and a cute cardigan for that night out with your man. :D
