  11. “I think I am a shopaholic” but my co-workers and friends said that I AM.. It’s maybe because I can’t end the week without buying something and I just kept thinking of going shopping.

Now here are my answer to your questions,
1. What is your favorite day of the week? – I love Monday! YES!! you heard it right.. it’s just that Monday tends to get so busy and without you knowing, it’s all done. I even posted a blog about this.. 🙂
2.What color do you see when you close your eyes? – Wow! this question is very different, but I saw a color RED when I closed my eyes.
3. When is your birth month? – My birth month is January. I love it because my zodiac sign is Capricorn.. But, I also hate it, just because I get older way before my friends who’s birthdays fall on April and even later.
4. Cake or cupcakes? – CAKE ALL THE WAY!!! I can eat a whole cake in one sitting.. 🙂 🙂
5. Chocolate or vanilla? – I LOVE CHOCOLATE so much! especially Chocolate Ice cream and Chocolate cake. Unfortunately, I am not a huge fan of Vanilla..
6. What’s your favorite movie? – since you said Movie not Movie(S) then it would be.. 50 First Dates by Adams Sandler & Drew Barrymore (I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve watched this movie).. however…I can’t help but share my 2nd fave.. and that would be “The Notebook” by Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling.. 🙂
7. Skydiving or ziplining? – I love zip-lining.. I’ve done it few times and I can’t wait to visit home and try the longest zip line in Asia which is located about 30 mins from my home. But, I also wanted to try Sky diving..unfortunately, my hubby doesn’t want me to try it. (what a bummer) lol.
8. What’s your favorite lip color? – I used to love Red but now, I’m loving the shade of Pinkish-Peach/Nude. If this even make sense. lol

Even before the hype of Rimmel products, I have been using them since then. I love their foundation and I also like the scent. I know some people doesn’t like face products with scents but I love it.

Aside from their foundation I also wanted to try the Rimmel Wake Me up Concealer even if I don’t use concealer that much but I heard this is a great product, so I hope this won’t disappoint me. I bought shades Very Fair/Light (#230) and Very Fair (#125) to see what shade fits my skin.
