The year 2008 is drawing to a close. I can’t believe that it’s New Year’s Eve tomorrow! Times like these does make you want to think back to what had transpired in the year that’s ending, yes? I decided to look back at all the products that I had experimented (and shared to you beauties) this year.

Branching out a bit and accommodating a young lady whose everyday look is simple and close to bare. Meet Diane, a nurse by profession; her pretty eyes and fair complexion have caused me to be a bit excited in doing this mini-makeover. Funny thing about that night was I had a small audience.

When it comes to eye makeup, I’ve always preferred shimmer. I reckon I’ve been putting on eye makeup since 2000 — yea, a bit of a late bloomer this Sasha, hehe — and I’ve always loved shimmer. I have to admit that I’m more inclined to a very safe style, usually the more natural it looks, the better. But I still love putting on shimmer. I love shimmer.

On a whim, I dropped by The Face Shop in Glorietta, Makati City the very same day when I shopped for my MAC fafi. Twas my first stop, actually. I had thought that I ought to give their makeup a try. Write up an Eastern Experiments post on them. But for now, I’ll just be …read more
