New Loot (Mary Kay Signature Line) + Beauty Blog (?)

Hi Guys!


How have you all been doing? I've been so busy lately with work that I have not updated this blog most of the time! Also, since I'm newly-married I have been so busy moving in my stuff to our new house as well. Anyway, I have been thinking lately of putting up a separate beauty blog. When I first thought of making this blog (larrainebee), I wanted people to take a glimpse of my life and I want to write on a smorgasbord of things/topic, even personal ones. So I think putting up a separate beauty blog would be nice and a breakaway from the seriousness of this current blog. What do you think?


Anyway, I got a couple of new products the other day. My husband and I stayed at my mom's house for the weekend and I took the liberty of digging into her loot bag! LOL I saw these super cute Mary Kay Signature Line eye primer and concealer. I already have a few Mary Kay items since my Aunt gave us a few items each when she came home last December. These two are perfect for me since currently, I do not have a good concealer and a primer.


So I took them out and tested them yesterday. Take a look:

Mary Kay Signature Line Concealer in Yellow Jaune and Eye Primer

This is the Eye Primer. Just a small amount of this can give full coverage on both eyelids.

This is the Concealer. Very good coverage and blends out easily.

The concealer in Yellow Jaune. A little lighter than usual shade but blends perfectly well.

I used both products yesterday and I am impressed by their coverage and they both do not feel so heavy on my face at all. I paired them by using another Mary Kay product, my Medium-Coverage Foundation in Beige 402.

Finished product! Unedited photo of my make-up yesterday. 

What do you guys think? Let me know in the comments section below.

Two Weeks

It has been two weeks since my longtime boyfriend and I got married and it has been a fun and happy experience for us both. We've already moved-in to my own house which my dad bought a few years back and surprisingly we do things together with ease. It's a little bit surprising since we're newlyweds and I think we both expected that we won't be as comfortable as what we are now. Being for almost 8 years before we got married somehow prepared us for this life. I think that's the reason why we're both at ease with our relationship as husband and wife.

Two weeks into married life has made us grateful for what we have and be patient for what we do not have. We live in our house from Monday to Friday and spend the weekends with either his or my parents' house. Since our move, we only got things that were essential to our daily necessities such as food, water, toiletries, appliances (electric fan and single burner electric stove), cooking pans, etc. We got our rice cooker from my cousin who may move in with us, plates and utensils from my mom-in-law and my mom gave us drying rack, bedroom essentials such as curtains, pillows, bed covers, etc. That's literally all we have. The house is still not furnished. I got 2 old couches here at home as well as an air cooler. We don't have tiled floors, built in cabinets, a fridge, TV set, even a dining set (which we are getting soon, thanks to my mom-in-law)! There's a lot of things that we currently do not have but we are just so grateful of this experience. It taught us to be contented and not to whine and ask from our parents, especially me.

It might not be the perfect start for us, but I am so happy that we're in this together. We're taking our time with work, responsibilities and our relationship. I pray to God that He'd make us stronger and happier through the rest of our lives. He's already given me a loving and caring husband and I couldn't be anymore happier.

A New Change

In a few days, my life will drastically change. I cannot just think of myself alone. I have somebody else to consider. I cannot make my own decision because everything should be mutual/conjugal. I have to submit myself to everything... wholeheartedly. 

But I am not dreading this change. Scared, a little bit. Things will definitely change. But I am looking forward to my new life. I have been happy for almost 8 years and I am confident that I will still be happy for the rest of my life. 

Xx,
