Always launched Always Infinity last month (October). It’s a revolutionary feminine pad made with Infinicel.  A new technology that promises to absorb 10 times it’s weight but feels amazingly light.

Infinicel is being called a breakthrough in the feminine care because of the following reasons :

• It has an integrated 2-layer structure that allows fluid to transfer from the top of the pad and into the pad’s bottom layer.
• It absorbs 20 times weight and feels amazingly light.
• It’s soft, flexible and resilient. This makes the pad fit on the first application which lasts throughout the day.

True to the Always products, the wings on Always Infinity has a new design that allows perfect fit on the curvature of the panty at the same time providing an optimal coverage on the sides while in use.

Always Infinity comes in regular, heavy and overnight. Visit Always to get a sample of Always Infinity for your own review. I completely forgot I had one last week and didn’t get the chance to review it during my period. I’ll have to wait ’till next month to do a review. Until then, if you’ve tired it, please let me know what you think.

You can find Always Infinity at Walgreens and Drugstore.com.

Bath and Body Works Cherry Blossom Spray

Bath and Body Works Plumeria.  This is what I used mostly when I was pregnant with my second child. Surprisingly, I didn’t feel sick or anything by it. I even used the shower gel and lotion. The whole collection pretty much. Plumeria is now part of my collection since then.  (Image : Bath & Body Works)

Victoria’s Secret Secret Garden Body Mist (Love Spell, Amber Romance, Pure Seduction, Pear Glace, Berry Skin). Technically there’s 5 of them but as you might have guessed. I use one scent on a particular day, depending on my mood. I don’t spray ‘em all at one time, don’t worry . (Image : VS)

Care to share with me your Top 5 Fragrances as well?

I’ve tried 2 Kathleen Lewis products. Stiff and Sore and Lip Balm.

Stiff and Sore is a peppermint scented cream to alleviate muscle’s aches and pains. I so needed this last week when after a hardcore exercise. Talk about great timing. When you see “peppermint” you’d think you’d feel that cold and icy taste but not at all. When you apply it in your skin, you’ll feel a mild heat that soothes and rejuvenate your aching muscles. (STP: $25)

Lip Balm is probably one of the best lip balms I’ve ever used. I swear. Most lip balms are flavored that well for me personally, I end up licking. Those flavored lip balms don’t stay on my lips. Their effects are gone before I even leave my house. It’s the brain working, ‘hmm, it’s sweet so I must lick it off. Not with Kathleen Lewis Lip Balm. You put it on and you forget it’s there. It’s so natural and mild. No clumps either. Camellia seed oil is one of the ingredients which protects the skin while replenishing vital nutrients. Aloe butter gives that soothing effect while it hydrates your chapped lips. Honey which is filled with vitamins and enzymes to moisturize the skin. Beeswax to keep your lips soft and Vitamin E for a powerful antioxidant. (STP : $11)

I must be honest and confess that I had no idea what SPINLASH was when it arrived in my doorstep. My husband on the other hand was impressed that I’ve just gotten it in the mail. Not that he wears make-up, not at all..LOL, but it’s sad that he’s familiar with it and I’m not. Apparently he had seen commercials on TV. Me the oblivious one, haven’t caught it or just wasn’t paying attention to it. 2 kids, blogging, chores, laundry and a husband can do that to you .

Anyhoooooo, I was so excited to try it out coz SPINLASH promises no clumps in mascara. I so needed something like this coz I’m always left with those pesky clumps. So how does it actually works? Click for more…

SPINLASH mascara has a brush that rotates 360 degrees in both directions, upper and lower lashes. While you’re applying your mascara, it’s also removing the clumps leaving you a clean looking made-up eyes. SPINLASH comes with two shades, black and brown. OR, you could use your usual brand. Do the usual dipping with the SPINLASH brush and let the thing do it’s job by hitting the arrows located on the SPINLASH handle.

I’ve only used it a few times. I’m still trying to get used to holding a rotating mascara brush. I’m not that good with makeup application so it’s a little hard for me to handle beauty gadgets..LOL. I don’t know if you could tell the difference from the pictures but yes I’m wearing SPINLASH mascara on the second picture. I apply my mascara very light and I wasn’t blessed with my kids long lashes. Not a lot of clumps and it felt nice not having to use the lash brush manually after just putting my mascara on. SPINLASH did both task, at the same time. It takes a little bit of getting used to for beauty products n00b like me.

SPINLASH is available at Target, CVS and Claire’s. If you come back next month for our Anniversary contests, you could be one of the 5 lucky gals who’ll get one. Uh huh. So see you then. In the meantime, check out the mentioned stores for SPINLASH so you could maybe practice and stop walking around with clumped eyelashes .

I was contemplating on getting my bangs last week remember? Well, I’ve gone ahead and got it back. My son was surprised when he saw me.

“Oh you got your bangs back, you look pretty with your bangs. How come you cut it off before? I couldn’t see your bangs. But now you have it back”.

I had to explain it to him that I didn’t “cut off” my bangs. It grew so I have been sweeping it off on the side. He said, “ooohh, I like your bangs better”

My husband said I look nice but then again that was after he’s had 2 beers..hehe. He defended himself by saying, “you know I mean it”. I believe him. The first time I decided to get my bangs which was like last January of last year he said it’s sexy and that I should’ve done it a long time ago .

Oh and if those 2 aren’t enough, I got hit on by an old lady at the grocery store..LOL. When she was approaching I initially thought she was going to say how cute my daughter is coz well, she gets that a lot. Imagine my surprise when said, “you have the most beautiful smile“. I looked at my daughter, then back at the old lady just to make sure she meant me, and she repeated it. “You really have the most beautiful smile“. Well thanks errrrr Grama?… Hehehehe.

*Oh some dude at Burger King smiled and kept on looking at me while he was leaving but we’re going to keep that a secret. Shhhhhhh

The Beauty of Color by Iman is a gift from the hubs. He saw me working on my make-up breakdown post this weekend and the other day he came home from work and surprised me by handing this book. Isn’t he just the sweetest? He asked later that night if I like it coz he thought I’d be able use it for my blog. He’s romantic like that. He surprises me with things even though we’re not necessarily celebrating an occasion.

About the book, it’s quite informative. All sorts of tips for Women in color. How-To’s for different skin types, conditions, ages and looks. I’m enjoying it so far. Who knew there are so many types of brushes, hehe.

This is my first time to do this so please bare with me. Plus I don’t really know that much about make-up. I’m better with fashion. But I know what do with my own face so in case you’re wondering what make-up I’m wearing today, here’s the breakdown:

• Bare Minerals Foundation, medium beige

• Bare Minerals Mineral Veil

• MAC Fafi Powder Blush : Hipness Frost

• Lancome Eye Shadow : Ciel Du Soir(Matte) and Off The Rack (Metallic)

• MAC Zoom Lash Mascara

• Wet & Wild Lipliner 711

• MAC Fafi Lipglass : Sugar Trance

There you go. I don’t do much. I always keep it simple. I am really loving the MAC Fafi Lipglass.

Please be nice with your comments..LOL I’m really not a Make-Up Connoisseur like Shannon of Make-Up Minute, Teri of Beautiful Make-Up Search, CJ of eBeautyDaily or my MAC Addict friend Star of Self Styled. So yes, please be nice, Thanks
