It’s been a while since I ran a contest and I’m absolutely thrilled about this week’s giveaway courtesy of L’Oréal Professionnel. :)

The L’Oréal Professionnel CHROMA STRAIGHT is a salon exclusive, 2-in-1 straightening and gloss treatment. It’s a sweet concoction of two (2) of the most advanced technologies created by Recherche Avanceé L’Oréal – X-TENSO MOISTURIST for rebonding/relaxing and the reinvented DIALIGHT for tone-on-tone coloration.  By joining my contest below, you might nab the chance to get this treatment for FREE!

A friendly reminder from our resident superhero:

NEVER step out of the house (worse bake) without SPF protection!

The heat’s definitely on (in full blast even!) this summer and even if you stay indoors, you need to put sunscreen on esp. if you’re working in front of the computer for long hours. We recently discovered these new UV protectors from L’Oreal and we’re instantly floored on how affordable, grease-free, and light weight they felt on our (me and a friend, not Junkie Poo — we never test on our furry friends!) facial skin.

UV Perfect Transparent Skin. UV Perfect Even Complexion. UV Perfect BB Max.

Over the weekend, Sydney and I were on BBM and she told me to share a pic of my makeup stash. I’m too embarrassed, really because they’re too plenty. Instead, can I just share the least number but my favourite (and best in my opinion) roster of SKUs in my boudoir? *wide grin*

Say hello to my favourite luxury: hair care. Words of wisdom from Mother Goose: you can mask body odor, hide pimples, fake cheekbones, but you can never ever skimp on hair care products. I have a sensitive scalp and very thin, frequently coloured hair strands that fall off when stressed. So yes, I have absolutely searched high and low and these are the only products that work for me (so far!) at home.

LOreal Paris introduces Super Liner Lasting Crayon (Php 395): a sharpenable pencil in an extremely smooth formula with the ease of application of a traditional pencil liner but the application feel of a liquid eyeliner. This soft gliding formula was built for super long wear: smudge proof, waterproof, no transfer. The result? Bold and beautiful eye contours.

For a deeper and more intense smokey eye look, LOreal Paris provides the easiest solution: Super Liner Smokey Duo (Php 445). This duo eyeliner creates a smokey eye in 2 easy steps.

1st step: Soft crayon liner for exact lining. The easy to blend soft crayon is a waterproof formula with an intense color pay off.

2nd step: Smudger for a natural smokey effect. The other end of the pencil is a gentle smudger for easy blending along the contours of the eyes.

Quick confession: I’ve been using this trio since I got a hold of them last week. Why not when two of them are dupes of my favourite department store eye liners? :)

Even before I started blogging, my biggest challenge has always been sticking up and consuming toiletries down to the last drop or swipe. Apart from clear dissatisfaction or irritation, I just get tired of products easily. The products below met (some even exceeded) my expectations and today, by the power vested in me by Junkie Poo, I order all of you to applaud as I’ve consumed everything in this photo set down to the last guzzle! #goldenmoment
