Promises Kept

Nothing False. When I got to the Maybelline stall, I asked for the classic Great Lash mascara hoping they got back on the shelf. To my dismay, it was already totally phased out. In memory of how it came to be, a girl named Mabel was caught by his brother mixing coal dust and Vaseline to put on her lashes to attract the man she loves. The chemist brother took advantage of his lovestruck sister’s homemade lash definer and called it Maybelline Great Lash mascara. I was sad to say goodbye to my bashy eyelash when the saleslady offered me to try one of their newest formulas – Maybelline Volum’ Express The Magnum Mascara. Due to rush I did not do the usual testing. When I put it on, what can I say? As promised, I got the great volume that I desire. Not much with the length, though. Anyway, my lashes are naturally long. Looks false without the false.

Switched for Cover. Since time immemorial, these freckles are nothing but an ache to my sight! We got it from our Dad’s side. Fair and freckled. I can’t get rid of them or hide them, so I’ve got to lighten them. I had to jump from one base foundation to another until six years ago, I found my skin found domesticity with VMV. I didn’t mind the sticky nature for as long as it can have me covered. Lately, my beauty consultant gave me a sampler of the Mary Kay Liquid Foundation in Full Coverage. All the lightening and base foundation that I need, without the sticky feel. It does not only only become a second skin – it becomes a part of my skin!

Underdog Under My Arms. I was planning to have my underarms undergo Mosbeau whitening treatment for it darkened due to pregnancy. This was actually one of the first signs that I have conceived, but after childbirth,  it’s the first one that I want whitened. Mosbeau is quite expensive and there I was standing torn between getting rid of the dark and another can of infant formula. And I remembered Yoko. Not John Lennon’s Yoko, but the underarm whitening cream that my Thai friend mentioned. It may not be so popular, but I might as well give it a try. In a week’s time, there was more progress than expected.  

Cocoa, Shea and Me. Not until the seventh month of my pregnancy did I have any stretch marks. As I got into my last trimester, there they were…giggling on my stomach skin. When the baby was out, my skin looked not less than a crumpled paper with all those stretch marks. Do you think saying goodbye to my two-piece bikinis forever is easy? I still dream of a photoshoot under the sun with the sand and the sea! Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Massage Cream for Stretch Marks is doing a great job. It has already flattened and smoothened the crumps and now, all I have to wait for is its lightening. The mark of motherhood may be there to stay, but I will not let it get in the way for my two-piece bikinis!
