Christmas 2010 Wishlist

My SIL posted her wishlist for the coming holidays about 3 days ago on FB and it got me thinking more about what I also want for Christmas.  I have been obsessing over several items already, mostly bags (aagghh!) and a few other stuff. We both share almost the same passion for a lot of things and we spend endless hours talking on the phone for the things that we desire. haha

Right now, we are both stay-at-home moms and we desperately need a high-paying job to make our Christmas wishes come true!! ;)  We even thought of joining online contests and the like.. desperate much? Nah.. ;)

Anyways, here are some of mine:













from the top:  Moleskine Planner, Melissa Ocean, Melissa Mermaid, Marc by Marc Jacobs Totally Turnlock clutch, the new iPod Touch, Longchamp Le Pliages LE in Miyajima, Great Wall, Statue of Liberty, Eiffel Tower, and Galleries Lafayette (whew!) =p


Those are the ones on my mind right now and are still subject to change in the coming days.  Sometimes, I can be a little fickle-minded. haha 

I am not in a rush though.. I don't expect to get everything by this Christmas.  Just one or two will do and hopefully, the rest will follow.


So do you dolls have a Christmas Wishlist too?  What are the things you want or need this Christmas?  It's only a wishlist afterall.  We can always hope dear Santa gets to read this. ;)

Makeup your Mind

I love makeup.  They make me feel pretty especially during days when I feel down.  I rarely go out so I am really excited (if I have enough time) to make my face on these special and not-so-special days.  I am not really brand conscious though.  I am quite loyal to several products.  These are the ones that live up to my expectations of them and some are just products I really love using over & over & over again.

I am still in search for that one perfect foundation for me though.. or that really perfect concealer. Taking care of the little ones take up most of my time so I need products that are easy to handle.

Anyway, here are some of my go-to products:
          *MAC Studiofix Powder Plus Foundation in NC25 or
          *Skin Food Peach Sake BB Cream
          *Benefit BOING Concealer in Medium ( a tad dark for me at times)
          *L'oreal True Match Blush in Rosy Cheeks or
          *Skin Food Muffin Cake
          *The Body Shop Brush on Radiance or
          *Missha Shimmering Ball Blusher in Pastel Glow
          *MAC Lippie in Pink Nouveau or just
          *TonyMoly Magic Tint 
          *Carmex Lip Balm
 
That's about it!  I usually just put powder or bb cream then a bit of luminizer and some magic tint then I'm off.  Sometimes, I do it on the car if DH is here to drive us.

What are your go-to products or your beauty must-haves?  Care to share? ;)

The Longchamp Addiction

As I've said, I'm a certified bagaholic! I've been collecting bags ever since I was a teenager.  I don't know what lead me to this obsession but I just love 'em!  I consider every collection my babies.  Sadly though, I had to sell my collections from the past to make way for the new ones.  I just can't afford to keep all of those & still buy new ones.. I just can't.

Right now, I am a Longchamp le Pliage addict.  I have been on the lookout for more le pliages since my first one. The very first Longchamp was in Bilberry in medium short handles. 
In a span of one year or so, I must admit that my collection has grown.  It has reached almost 10 bags, I think.

I like these nylon totes because they are very light and durable plus they're a breeze to travel with You can change bags everyday  because they fold up to this very small thing. :)

Here are some of my Longchamp bags.. Enjoy! 

Group Shot! =p
