How time does fly, huh? I was so late in posting my October BDJ BOX unboxing as it is November already but oh well, better late than never! Also, I accepted the 7-day challenge and completed it a week ago so here's the blog post about it and my review on the products I've used to create the different looks using affordable Maybelline products.

DAY 1



For me... This BB STICK works best as a primer because of its texture and finish. I also find it great for under eyes for a brightening base/effect before putting on my concealer. And then there's this CHEEKY GLOW blush which gives a subtle finish, just enough for that flush of color on the cheeks.


DAY 2


Guess what Maybelline mascara is it that I'm wearing?


The mascara used in the post above is no other than THE FALSIES! Big fan of their Volum' Express over the years and this one here doesn't disappoint! Same great quality, holds curls, no clumps, and fairly lightweight on the eyes! So impressed and instantly opens up those pretty peepers! The mascara wand is flexible, too! It makes application very easy.

DAY 3


Here's a Saturday daytime look for lunch at the in-laws! Baby soft lips looking moisturized as ever with BABY LIPS RUNWAY BRIGHTS and a subtle #eotd with EYE STUDIO LUMINEYES SHADOW plus CHEEKY GLOW for that warm flush on the cheeks.

DAY 4


I wish I had smooth skin like before my adult acne started acting up but too bad my hormones are not cooperating much. So here's a quick fix with the BB STICK, BABY LIPS RUNWAY BRIGHTS, CHEEKY GLOW, and CLEAR SMOOTH SHINE-FREE FOUNDATION (non-comedogenic, yayyy!) for a 5-minute face trying to look decent enough without scaring the people because it was too early for Halloween.

DAY 5


Casual daytime look created with EYE STUDIO LUMINEYES SHADOW to brighten up sleepy tired eyes; paired with Maybelline COLORSENSATIONAL lipstick in Peachy Scene, 36h LASTING EYE STUDIO GEL LINER in black, and CHEEKY GLOW in Peachy Scene.

DAY 6


For beautiful eyes, look for the good. If you look for the good, that's what you'll see. Wearing THE FALSIES for that wide awake look, CHEEKY GLOW in Peachy Scene for a subtle flush, COLORSENSATIONAL lipstick in Make Me Pink, and EYE STUDIO 36h LASTING GEL LINER in black.

DAY 7


And to conclude my BDJ BOX 7-day challenge, my Halloween look as Tinker Bell was made perfect with inexpensive and readily available Maybelline products that you can buy in leading departments stores, supermarkets, and drugstores. Here's using the BB STICK, CHEEKY GLOW, CLEAR SMOOTH SHINE-FREE FOUNDATION, COLORSENSATIONAL LIPSTICK, and EYE STUDIO 36h LASTING GEL LINER.

As it has done in more than a decade since I learned how to use makeup, Maybelline continues to help me "EXPRESS IT" and Rock Out in Fashion. You know, if you're not born with it, there's always MAYBELLINE! ^_^

October was crazzzzzzzy! Tell me, how is it that it's November already??? So sorry for the late post, guys! Anyway, here's my October BDJ BOX unboxing of the exclusive Maybelline Express It beauty box in RUNWAY ROCK.

Ain't the packaging pretty cool?

I realize I've been spamming my social networks with beauty posts using Maybelline products but what can I say? I'm not born with it so you know, it's definitely MAYBELLINE. I'll do a quick blog post of the items I got from my customized October BDJ BOX and full review of the items will be posted on my blog up next which will feature my 7-day challenge using the same products below.


Here's what you need to get the RUNWAY ROCK look.

STEP 1: Start with an oil-free, clear base using CLEAR SMOOTH BB STICK. Best used around the forehead, nose, and chin area.

This 12-hr anti-shine powder in a stick is perfect for oily to combination skin.

STEP 2: Create wide ipen eyes with LUMINEYES EYESHADOW with color-control primer that keeps the color on 2 x longer.

Use the middle shade all over your lids, and the darker shades for contouring along the lash line.

STEP 3: Curl your lashes and swipe on VOLUM' EXPRESS THE FALSIES.

Gives perfect flash lashes look!

STEP 4: Get cheeky and brush on CHEEKY GLOW on the apples of your cheeks.

Lightweight blush that is very easy to blend and gives a natural finish.

STEP 5: Swipe on sheer layers of the all-new BABY LIPS RUNWAY BRIGHTS.

For baby soft lips all day long!

STEP 6: After a day of rocking out, don't forget to retouch with CLEAR SMOOTH ALL IN ONE SHINE FREE FOUNDATION.

Formulated with skin brightening vitamin C for a healthy glow.

TBH (Did I just say that?), when I first got this EXPRESS IT ROCK RUNWAY ROCK beauty box from BDJ BOX, I was expecting to create a look that's more grunge and sort of emo-ish but it turns out the looks I came up with looked subtle and even perfect for everyday makeup. Do check out my October 2013 BDJ BOX 7-day Challenge for more details.

So affordable! For beauty that won't break the bank!

If you want a monthly beauty loot surprise, you can subscribe to BDJ BOX! Although due to high demand, the earliest you can subscribe to right now is already for March 2014 and they are currently putting subscriptions on hold. Follow them on Facebook and Twitter to get updates!

What can I say? Well, I admit I wasn't born with it...or anything. And yes, it is Maybelline!

Thank you so much Maybelline Philippines. More power!!!

Maybe it's Maybelline! 

For 17 years, I've been loyal only to one mascara. I've tried others, those that were given as gifts and pasalubongs, but no other ever came close to Maybelline.

The loyalty paid off today... when I received this COLOSSAL news!!!



I didn't even know it until Claire came over and told me about it! She told me to check Facebook! OMG! It was totally unexpected! Thank you so much Maybelline!

And over the years, you can tell I've been loyal to the product!









Unfortunately, I'm the girl with those annoyingly short lashes. Sucks, I know. My nanny trimmed my lashes when I was little but to no avail, it didn't bother to grow back! Pak! If only lash extensions were cheap and permanent, I would gladly get one.



But thank goodness for Maybelline, I don't have to worry about a thing!








My secret?!?!? Naw... it's no secret!








So it is Maybelline!!! 

Be a winner too! All you need to do is add Maybelline Philippines in Facebook and...
