A purse must have Carmex Lip Balm and benefit They're real mascara

My purse just had additions 

My current purse scenario is a mishmash of stuff from work, my current 3 projects and gadgetry cables to juice up my phone and tablet.  

I am a big bag person,  i remember a film in the 80s called Moral about bffs and one of the characters played by Lorna Tolentino who always have lugging around a big bag where she actually "lives" because she was kind of nomadic staying with friends and relatives periods at a time.  I watched in as a rerun while i was doing workshops with it writer sir Ricky Lee.  I have always related to the character.  I have been lugging big bags since college and now that i am a mommy,  and especially now that i am a mommy,  the big bag thing is a staple even on weekends.

Incidentally,  i have just finished translating interview transcriptions of the Lorna Tolentino for a documentary film my friend is doing about Rudy Fernandez.

My bag of choice is a Kipling (Art BP) and it is huge.  It doesn’t have partitions so its actually very versatile.  I can use it as a diaper bag on weekends and imagine i can even bring a full size megasketcher if i want to,  but usually some coloring books, my tablet, J's tablet and stuff can all be collected in one carry all.    Monday and Friday,  i bring my laptop to/from office,  but usual weekday its just my kikay stuff,  my tablet,  some mobile gadget cables and stuff.

From my other blogs and posts,  you will see that i am such a nomad,  even with my passions i go places, and nowhere.  I am now into CS,  reliving an option that i did not take in college,  Computer Science,  i am doing a course in Edx,  and i am understanding hands-on via Raspberry Pi.   So you will see my bag full of cables and peripherals,  and cables and peripherals.  I am a walking hardware and toolbox

Then here goes kikay.  I am not really,  but who then is not kikay.  I am just not the girly girly but i also have some hygiene and cosmetic stuff in my bag.  My must haves,  cologne (I u sually share with J,  so it’s now Denenes) alcohol (Casino,) lipstick (Loreal 630 Sea Fleur), Powder (Physicians Formula SP 50) wipes (Disney Princess haha) hair gel (bench), ponds white beauty, tic tacs. and other personal stuff.  You see on the that front,  i am just basic.  SO having these additions is kept within my bare essentials. 

The Carmex Tube Lip Balm is best for me now that the weather is ever a-changing.  Now sunny,  later stormy is getting my skin dry,  my lips included.  The sweetish vanilla scent is yummy.  

I go for the minimum,  i can go out with just a basic foundation, eyebrow liner, lippy, blush and leave.  An additional eye-enhance would be good once in a while.  The benefit they’re real mascara can do the trick.  the brush applicator looks awesome helpful.  I actually didn’t expect it from that small barrel.  

Lovin’ to use my bdj stuff day after day. 

Bunches of Boxes : My first BDJ Box

This week is full of boxes for me.  The universe decided to schedule all of my deliveries this week.   This is the first time for me to do the bdj box,  since i have ordered this months ago due to its limited and exclusive supply i wasnt expecting this to come this specific week.  But was i in for a surprise.  The delivery came after office,  it was fortunate that i was still doing some writing when the delivery personnel advised they were lost and missed the address indicated... I waited for it excited since they advised they were at the vicinity and would deliver my box.  I knew it was my beauty box since my other expected packages already came. When i opened the package true enough it was my bdj box.  

My first.  Love at first site (actually first smell)

Unboxing

Hmmmmm the smell.  Love at first whiff... No,  it was not a cologne or a perfume sticking out,  it is a combination of contents  that meld together that wonderful whiff.  I am not sure if this is the usual scent of the boxes,  that combination of what's inside gave it a comforting clean scent that reminds me of care packages from my grandma's or titas from the US.  I am excited! 

Here's what is inside :

The stickers

Dove oxygen nourishment shampoo and conditioner

This i will try soonest now,  after this note,  shower time!   I have been having a 4 year bad hair day and i am looking for solutions to help me.  I am unfortunate to have super thin strand hair.  It was a blessing then but after a misshap at the salon when i did some kikay stuff after giving birth,  i am keeping my hair chemical treatment free to bring in a totally renewed hair that could stand the abuse of salon treatments ( i usually do a relax or straight.)  but not until the new hair comes out,  i am basically doing the effect thru shampoo, conditioner method alone.

Cetaphil Gentle Cleansing Bar

This i will give to hubby who is more maselan than I am.  Ahaha.   

Not that i do not do little pamperings but he is more sensitive than i am,  i can handle hotel provided (provincial, motel, dormitel, five star) soaps anytime but he is the type who need to bring his preferred brands when we do our 'cations.  

Canmake Nail Polish

Since yaya will be back by Monday (hopefully universe please!)   I can have my manicures back.

benefit They're real mascara

Such timing!  Was about to buy one last weekend,  but they didn't have my brand.. But girl you were looking in a drugstore counter (sorry na,  no yaya,  errands == window shopping.)

Carmex Tube Lip Balm and Click Slick Lip Balm

A purse must have.

FS Luscious Lipstick

Celeteque cleansing Oil

Ok i said i am not maselan,  but in matters of clean face, i am all for it.

V 10 Plus Serum

Hmmm.. Another one of those not sure. For face and skin care,  i just go for clean,  if you give me science i am kind of scared. 

Not bad.  The experience is great,  soo great i checked out the latest bdj subscription email and signed up for it.  Even with some stuff i am not so excited,  i am sure it'll find a lovin with my sisses or office colleague.  Can't wait to use my stash.

First stop,  cetaphil gentle cleansing bar.   I realize most of the padala scent trigger comes from the soap and the Carmex lip balm.    Ahhh,  refreshing.  Nothing beats just clean.
