Latest Haul: NARS Luster, NYX Round Lipgloss in Sorbet and NYX Single Eyeshadow in Golden

It’s been quite awhile since I last posted an entry. I’ve been uber busy with my workshop caravan. Anyways, though this may have been long overdue, here is my latest haul:

NARS Luster, NYX Round Lipgloss in Sorbet and NYX Single Eyeshadow in Golden

I got this blush from a swap (thanks to GTalker carousel!) I swapped my NARS Gilda with this because first of all, I feel that matte blushes makes me look dull (or I might just not know how to use it properly). Secondly, Gilda sometimes becomes too orangey on me. It’s a hit or miss on me oftentimes. So I decided to let it go and swapped with Luster.

I am so inlove with NARS Luster. This becomes my instant perk-me-up blush because it just delivers the right flush I need. It has shimmers that give added glow to my oftentimes dull skin. I even use this sometimes with as eyeshadow and works just as well. I can combine it with NARS Southbeach (using southbeach for contour or as base so that my blush will last longer). NARS Luster is also a very nice just-got-out-of-the-beach blush and perfect for the coming Summer season.

I have 2 NYX lipglosses to date. The first one is Kiss (a peachy beige color). The latest addition is Sorbet, a very pale pink lipgloss that has shimmers. I ordered this from digitaltraincase.multiply.com because I was on the lookout for a perfect NARS Turkish Delight dupe. The color in the tube is almost like Turkish Delight but Turkish Delight has more color payoff than Sorbet. I like using this on top of NARS Schiap or Roman Holiday for added effect. But, I cannot use it aloneor else I will look too pale. The only thing I cannot stand with NYX Round Lipgloss is the smell. Very strong citrusy smell.

NYX Golden eyeshadow according to Lelila of Gtalk is a dupe of MAC Amberlights. This is my first NYX e/s and I am sooooooooo glad that I got this one. It is a very nice neutral e/s that can brighten my eyes even if I combine this or not with other e/s. According to Lelila, this is nice when paired with MAC Expensive Pink. Since I do not own MAC Expensive Pink, I tried searching the net for a dupe. There I saw that NYX Wildflower is a dupe of MAC Expensive Pink. Now I am lemming for this color. I hope Lelila’s preorder starts soon. I also want to get the Romance Runway Collection Palette of NYX. NYX e/s are very pigmented and are so easy to blend that’s why I really like it. Plus, it doesn’t sting my eyes, which some e/s does on me.

Terra Wellness Spa at Discovery Suites, Pasig City

Just want to share some photos of Terra Wellness Spa in Discovery Suites, Pasig City. I recently organized a Spa Party here during the product launching of Elemente Lavender Series.

This is the single room. It has its own shower room so you can really enjoy your massage at a very exclusive room of your own.

This is the couple's room which comes with its own bath tub and shower room. Me & Hubby was so lucky to try their massage in this oh-so-romantic room.

Review:

I am a massage/spa enthusiasts and I must say that Terra's Touch (their signature massage) is the best that I've got so far. It is not hard nor does it lack pressure. Just enough kneading. Just enough strokes with utmost care. Plus the ambience is really superb. I love their rooms which are spacious enough and very cozy. I swear, I almost fell asleep during my massage. Even my hubby can't get over it. Plus, it can accomodate up to 30 pax for a Spa Party perfect for bridal showers, intimate occassions and even product launch. The staff, especially Ms. Juliet (the one who did my massage) is super nice and super efficient. Even the attendees of the Spa Party I organized gave Terra Wellness Spa a thumbs up!

I am surely coming back here before the month ends. =)
