My first CVS make-up haul

One of my favorite fashion/beauty bloggers, April made me want to run out of our house at 10pm and go to CVS to check out their 75% off deal. She got a lot of make-up for less than $50! You can find her haul here: http://aprilathena7.blogspot.com/2011/01/cvs-75-drugstore-cosmetic-sale.html.

I love make-up, but I don't go for the expensive stuff. I still can't convince myself to splurge on make-up, especially that I don't really wear tons of it everyday. Since I was jealous about April's haul, I went ahead and dropped by the nearest CVS after work last Sunday, January 9th. I only got a few items 'coz the store near my place didn't really have a lot of stuff on sale. I think the 75% deal depends on which store you go to. On my first visit, I saved a total of $19.62! Then, I had to visit another store near my workplace 'coz I figured they have a wider range of choices there and I was happy that I wasn't disappointed with what I have found on the sale section. I was able to get 6 items and I saved $39.98 and the cashier even gave me a free CVS care card. I'm not sure if that's for free, but I have never been given one since I moved here and they always ask me if I have one. So I guess I can get coupons with the card next time. Nice! :)

Here are the stuff I bought at CVS and I have realized that most of the make-up I got are from Revlon and Maybelline- I don't exactly know why.


1. Maybelline Expert Wear Eyeshadow in Lavender Fields - $3.89 (I saved:$3.90)
2. Maybelline Cool Effect Cooling shadow/liner - $$3.25 (I saved-$3.54)
3. Maybelline Mineral Liquid concealer in medium beige- $4.39 (I saved- $4.40)


4. Revlon ColorStay Mineral Lipstick in Stay Ablaze: $2.45 (I saved$7.34)
5. Revlon ColorStay Mineral Bronzer in Golden Bronze: $ 3.49 (I saved$10.50)
6. Revlon Superlustrous gloss in Nude Lustre - this is my favorite gloss 'coz it's not sticky: $2.19 
(I saved$6.60)


7. Revlon Beyond Natural blush and bronzer in Nude: $2.99 (I saved $9.00)
8. Physician's formula Baked Eyeshadow in Baked Sugar: $2.07 (I saved$6.22)
9. Revlon 3D extreme Mascara in Black Noir: $2.69 (I saved $8.10)
My first trip to the store. I also got a dupe of OPI's Metro Chic nail polish. :)


Trip to the store part 2

I had a great time finding good deals! If you don't mind wearing drugstore brand make-up, rush to your nearest CVS and save a lot on your purchase!

Medical Examination at SLMCEC

November 9-10, 2009 This will be a blow by blow account of my medical exam that took place last week. If you want to be first in line, you can be there as early as 3am, but I went there at 5am because I wanted to make sure that I am safe while taking the exam and I don't want to wait in line for 2-3 hours. It was a good move, since they were already accepting applicants at 5am and I got in around 5:20am and I was the 54th applicant of the day. Make sure to have the following ready: 1. Passport 2. 4 2x2 visa pictures (they will only take 3 though, but I brought 4 since that's their requirement) 3. Original and photocopy of approval letter from the embassy 4. Print out of your interview schedule 5. Black ballpoint pen 6. Payment (213.35 - exchange rate is at 48) Flow chart: 1. At 5:30 I already got in and filled out the Patient Data Sheet form. Memorize your fiance's address and phone number or at least have a copy of it. 2. The guard called us up for the digital picture taki

I'm not so evil after all

" I never got the chance to be your trainee, but I heard a lot of good things about you Ms. Dee." Reading this post from someone I barely even know made my heart flutter. I know that I have been totally brutal with my trainees when I was still working as a trainer back home 'coz I want them to be excellent in their field. I know I was hated by many 'coz I don't know how to kiss people's asses. I even almost got in trouble with our big boss when I was only passing a few people during interviews. A lot of people were mad at me 'coz of my unbelievable standards. A lot of times it did affect me and all I wanted was to please everyone, but I was also pushed by my one of my supervisors not to lower my standards. I got reprimanded for passing a few people during interviews by our big boss, and I got reprimanded by my direct supervisor for passing a lot of trainees during my class. I was totally confused when I was starting up in my new field. But time, experience

The Perpetually Tanned Filipina's Thursday bus adventure

WARNING: LONG POST AHEAD. Read at your own risk. If there is one thing I have learned today, it's that attracting positive thoughts brings you positive results. I took the bus for the 3rd time today, 'coz my hubs had to work and I didn't want him to take a day off just to drive me to the DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles). I had to go there to get my non-driver ID for the nth time 'coz I received a letter in the mail saying that I had a discrepancy on my birthdate. To me it was impossible 'coz all of my documents indicate the same birthdate. Since it was indicated in the letter that I had to go to their office and present documents, I took all the courage to take the bus - with a new route today. I went to the Social Security office two times, so I was familiar with that route. I woke up at 9am to get ready 'coz I knew that the bus will be passing by our street at 10-ish. I had to put sunblock on my face, but totally forgot to apply sunblock on my legs and
