THE GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED. THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING!

An often overlooked brand for beautiful blushes is Physicians Formula. If you don’t believe me, do check out the Physicians Formula shelf at Priceline and you’ll know what I mean. Shoe lovers, you have to check out the one that has an over-spray of a high-heeled shoe. So pretty!

A few weeks ago, a number of Physicians Formula goodies landed on my desk and one of them was the Nude Wear Glowing Nude Blush. Being a blush fiend, it was the first thing that caught my eye and naturally, I had to show you as well.

You’ve probably seen the Chanel Perfection Lumiere Velvet foundation in lots of blogs and heard about it in plenty of YouTube videos. It’s one of those foundations next to the Vitalumiere Aqua that has been talked to death on the blogosphere. Oh look, here I am, talking about it as well. Ahem, herd mentality much?

Ahem. 😛

I first tried out the foundation when it came in a sample sachet in a magazine. I can’t remember what shade that sample came in but I remembered that it was darker than my skin tone and had strong pink undertones. Weeks later, I bit the bullet and bought one that matched my skin tone much better. Thank goodness I got the shade properly matched and I tried the foundation out again because my first impression of it via the sample sachet was not that good.

Now, I get the hype. It’s actually a pretty decent foundation, I must say. Methinks all you oily to combination skin folks (whose skin can take silicone) will like it too.

I’ve been listening to podcasts for years. If you’re not sure what podcasts are, imagine blog posts but instead of reading them, you listen to the “blogger” (i.e. the podcaster) sharing their content with you via their voice in audio files.

I love listening to podcasts. They’re usually very informative (like listening to the news) and there’s always a lot to learn. I enjoy listening to them before bed, when I’m cooking, cleaning, walking Janey, on the bus/train/tram and even in the loo. Unlike audiobooks that can go on for hours, podcasts usually range from 3 minutes to 1.5 hours long depending on the subject. I’m not a fan of the very long ones because my attention usually wanes when I’ve hit the 1 hour mark. Let’s just say, the podcaster better be pretty damn interesting to continue capturing my attention for so long! 😛

My taste in podcasts change over the years depending on what my interests are during the time. I’ve subscribed, unsubscribed and resubscribed to many podcasts then but seem to go back to the usual few.

Today, I thought I’d share with you some of my favourite podcasts that I enjoy listening to. Some I’ve been listening to for years and some were recent discoveries. Most can be downloaded from iTunes or their websites. I use iTunes to load podcasts onto my iPod but I’m thinking it’s time to find another podcast RSS feed program because iTunes is a huge pain in the bum.
