The best example of this would be the Make Up For Ever HD Complexion Travel Kit. These cute little goodies are perfect for travel or to try out some of the most sought after products from the Make Up For Ever HD line. I've always wanted to try out the widely applauded products from the MUFE HD range, but can never justify forking out so much moneyhttp://beautycarameltwist.blogspot.com/2010/07/make-up-for-ever-hd-complexion-travel.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4123387888154586012.post-7806736584954921765Wed, 30 Jun 2010 02:47:00 +00002010-06-30T13:23:04.842+08:00BagsRecapReviewHas anyone ever went to the mall and start giving yourself a hard time for forgetting to bring the reusable bags? (Me! Me!) That happens to me a lot. All my reusable bags are too bulky for my handbag, and I tend to forget to bring them along whenever I go out. Thus, I constantly have to accept plastic shopping bags from the supermarket, which result to the huge amount of unused plastic bags in http://beautycarameltwist.blogspot.com/2010/06/review-rume-reusable-bags.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4123387888154586012.post-430157080316305393Mon, 28 Jun 2010 01:33:00 +00002010-06-29T16:33:46.942+08:00LipsReviewI'm doing the missing-act again. (Guilty...) Work has been so busy. And I'm also in the process of moving to a new place, which then involves getting everything setup at the new place. Okay, enough rambling about how busy my life is. On to the review. Here's a little history about me and lip balms. We've come a long long way, and it wasn't a good journey.

It's actually easier said than done. Whenever I squeeze those sunscreen out of their tubes, a bell will starting ringing at the back of my head and a voice will say "that's 10% of what you just paid and it's only for 1 application".

Do you cringe at the sight of the sun? Or jump for joy and squeal whenever there is the slightest hint of sunshine? Personally, I'm not really a sun person. I don't hate it, but I won't go looking for it. LOL. Yeah, I'm complicated. =P  But hey, a little bit of sunshine does cheer me up once in a while. Especially when I'm feeling down.
