I Want To Be Part of Sample Room's Bloggers Circle!

From Sample Room's FB Page

I fell in love with my Sample Room subscription since the day they gave me 100 points to be used for sampling selected beauty, health and lifestyle products.  Sample Room opened the "sleeping heart" of beauty blogging within me.  At first I thought I'm destined to write inspirational, travel and food blogs and other serious stuff.  Even in my wildest dreams, blogging about beauty products never struck my mind.  When I was single, I don't put powder on my face.  I never used lotion, baby cologne is more than enough for me.  I never even bothered to groom my brows. And I love basketball.  The last statement is just random. :P

Way back then I never find myself beautiful.  I tried joining Miss Intramurals during my sophomore year in high school, and I heard people that I'm only good in joining quiz bees, and after that I promised myself not to join such contests again.  I don't have flawless skin, I'm too skinny (but I have wider hips), and I don't have good posture.  And to top them all off, my self esteem is way, way down the drain.  I'm not beautiful.  Then I focused on my studies to excel.  At least I have one aspect that I am confident of.

Karen's Beauty Post # 8: Sample Room VIP Experience - Part 3

This post has been long overdue.  Supposedly I should've posted this last week but I was busy doing things (church, shoots, post processing pictures, and a TON of backlogs!).  Ok, so much for my explanation :) let me share to you my 4th and 5th wave of my Sample Room VIP Membership experience.

My first three batches of samples were more than enough reasons to look for more goodies at Sample Room for sampling.

My Mind In Random’s Birthday/Summer Giveaway: Belo SunExpert Products Up For Grabs!

Hello there!  Summer is here!  What are your plans for the coming summer months?  Be it at the beach or just strolling around, we should not forget to take care of our skin from the sun’s harmful rays.  You see, too much exposure from the sun can cause skin aging, wrinkles and even skin cancer (that’s what I knew).  I used to use sunblock only during my beach getaways, but now I realized that even if I’ll just go outside to go to, let’s say, work,  it’s important for us to wear sunblock for the face and body parts that are exposed to the sun as we go out.

I discovered Belo SunExpert Products, first, at Glamourbox.  Then as a VIP member at Sample Room (they are currently offering the same products for sampling), I decided to subscribe in order to get these items.  So currently I have two sets of these.  I am keeping the one set, and I’m giving away the other! (This is my birthday giveaway too!)

Karen's Beauty Post # 7: Sample Room VIP Experience - Part 2

INTRO:  Ok, so I have to defer my Glamourbox first online shopping experience post because my schedule has all been jammed up!  I need to allot some time to customize my palette and I have to show you guys how I used my Makeup Brush Cleaner.  So watch out for it.

OFF TOPIC CURTAIN RAISER:  I would like to thank the four people who joined my #PASSIONMANILA2014 Instagram contest. LOL.  You guys are awesome.  And because of that, I sent you Php 300 worth of prepaid credits.  Enjoy!
