Was it only short 2 years ago when one of most natural makeup for me is an intense smokey eyes? Now that life is fast changing for me, I constantly find myself reminiscing of days past when all I could think about was makeup, makeup, makeup and yes, more makeup. I lived and breathed these wonder products that enhances our beauty and even give us a totally different look on days we feel like.. well, crap.

Looking for good quality makeup that doesn't cost an arm and a leg was a tough one one a few years ago. Many of us resorted to buying them abroad and/or settling for the ones available (which isn't much) at the beauty section of a mall's department stores.

You girls have it easy now. During my time, it was really hard to get hands on affordable but good quality makeup. Thanks to the power of internet, many of you now can gain access to more products and many even brought brands here in the Philippines that we didn't even know existed. Giving us more choices and allowing us to explore more of how makeup can enhance us.

A dear friend, Smile (how great is that nickname??), happily brought Sleek to the Philippines, a few years ago and have steadily gained a huge number of fans for this UK brand. Including myself, of course. Smile is a beauty junkie like me who scoured the internet for great buys back in the day. Like most of us, she found her passion in beauty and sought this avenue to create a career for herself.

Quite recently, just before my wedding, she sent over this gorgeous palette from Sleek that is sooo right for the love season. :) It's the Sleek Makeup i-Divine Vintage Romance Palette.
