April & May Splurge & Save corner

I forgot to make a splurge & save post last month because i was on vacation & when i got back, i was caught up in all the hullabaloo of finding a new job, contest entries & etc...

So, i'll just include last April's post to last month...hehe

Ok, on with the show...

For Concealing:

Splurge: Sephora Concealer Palette

-cons: a setting powder is not included





Save: Sonia Kashuk Hidden Agenda Palette

-Create a nearly flawless face with this exclusive quartet of concealers by makeup master Sonia Kashuk
-$9.99
-pros: best suited for medium to dark skin tones
-cons: doesn't have purple concealer






We know how important a concealer is...and with a concealer palette at hand concealing had been a very easy thing to do especially for touch up purposes. A concealer palette is something that we all would like to keep with us. And these 2 palettes have been mentioned in passing by some website that is considered as good ones..

i haven't tried any of these, but i would sure love to get my hands on them!

I've written a post about Nivea Creme before & how much i like it. Creme de la Mer on the other hand has been one product that was proven to be really effective (i think Sis Gracie can attest to that. We can see that she is really flawless!)

Everybody have their very own favorite facial scrubs, apricot scrubs are the best bet when it comes to facial scrubs. This has been vetoed as a favorite & natural scrub. It scrubs away the dead skin cells & reveals smooth skin after every use.
