The Start of Something New (?)

I take it all back. This blog is going to be as personal as it can get.

Was talking with a very good friend, Upper, in Shakey's El Pueblo the other night and as I told her she inspired me to write/blog. And I realize that she has a point-- that writing is an outlet that I very much need nowadays. So from this day forth, I shall try to blog as often as I can.

Hopefully, I can make time.

Telescopic

Being the shopaholic that I am, I guess it's not surprising for me to post something about stuff I spend my (hard-earned) money on. With that said, this post will be about L'oreal's Telescopic Mascara. This is a long overdue post, though.

You see, I have long eyelashes that UNFORTUNATELY do not curl up (read as boring). So one day, while I was leafing through the pages of Cosmopolitan magazine, I chanced upon L'oreal's ad. It had Penelope Cruz endorsing the Telescopic mascara. What I loved about the ad was the fact that Penelope Cruz's lashes were curled like they were reaching for the stars! Not to mention that I loved the brush wand and its tiny bristles. It somehow reminded me of my favorite Maybelline mascara. 

However, the Telescopic mascara wasn't available yet in the Philippines when I saw the ad. It took me quite a while to find it in stores. Anyway, while I was waiting for said mascara to come out, I decided to do some research. I tried to find out how others thought of my soon-to-be mascara. I searched high and low for reviews. Luckily for me, as well as for the millions of net users, a website called youtube is just a click away. 

In youtube, I found a really cool review of the Telescopic mascara. Also, I enjoyed watching Pinkiecharm's review since she was very entertaining and witty, unlike other reviews that were, well, kind of boring. According to Pinkiecharm, if you're the type who doesn't like spidery lashes, then Telescopic mascara is for you. 

Time came that I was finally, finally, finally able to get my hands on the new mascara of my dreams. I tried it on when I got home that evening. True enough, L'oreal Telescopic mascara had a natural feel to it. Plus, it was very light on the lashes and could hold the curls. Whatelse... Hmmm... It doesn't smudge and it's very easy to apply (thanks to its cool plastic brush wand).  I was happy! Ecstatic even! =p Bought the mascara for almost 600Php. Was really worth it for me. 

Now, however, I'm thinking of buying another mascara. I guess I'll have to leaf through another magazine soon. Or if anyone's got any suggestions on must-have mascaras, I would love to hear what you have to say! Thanks! =p
