Meg Big Deals: Freebies in the July Issue!

I'm a beauty and fashion magazine junkie, so every month I always have to have at least one or two new magazines to satisfy my craving. Most of the time I buy the current issues of local magazines, but sometimes I also get back issues of international magazines because they're too pricey to be bought on the current month (P600 for a magazine, anyone?). What I'll share with you now is my most sulit buy of the month: it's Meg Magazine July 2012 issue with Erich Gonzales on the cover! When they said that this is The Big Deal Issue, they really meant it. I particularly loved the spend vs. save beauty feature because it gave me ideas on what products to try next. I also love the interesting features and articles, and the cute rainy day fashion in this packed issue.

Meg Magazine July 2012

As I was reading the magazine from cover to cover, I came across this page!

Meg Big Deals!

 

For the entire month (until supplies last), Meg was giving away items from Defensil & Kojie.san, Etude House, Zen Zest, Jergens, Caronia, Cose, and Divoom & Accutone. If you have a copy of the July issue, then dash to the One Mega Group office in Ortigas to claim your freebies. Whatever is available at the time of claiming will be given to you, so the earlier you claim, the more items you'll get.

Last week, I went to their office and got these freebies instantly!

Etude House Precious Mineral Sun BB Cream
 

Zen Zest Cherry Cheesecake Eau de Cologne

Zen Zest Bellini Hand Sanitizer

Zen Zest Lip Balm

Cose Printed Saddle Bag

Now isn't that a big deal? ;) Go grab your copies of Meg's July issue now and visit iammeg.ph for more info on Meg Big Deals.

Thanks for the generous treat, Meg! :)

Love,

NYX Round Lipstick in Rose

I love bright lipsticks and I'm not a big fan of nudes. If you check out my stash, you'd see bright colors of pinks and reds that makes my lips stand out against my complexion. Here's another swatch of a NYX Round Lipstick, in the shade of Rose.

NYX Round Lipstick in Rose

Ingredients:

 

 

Swatch:

Rose is a bright red/pink shade with a coral tint. I love bright lipsticks so seeing this on the tube, it's pretty color and all drew me in. It's bright but for some reason, it does not look good on my fair skin. It pops but I feel that it does not look right on me, like it's a bit awkwardly bright. As with the lasting power, it's the same as all NYX Round Lipsticks. It does not last very long and is easily removed, so you'd have to reapply frequently.

What lipstick are you wearing today?

Love,

Helen
