MAYBELLINE: Make The Perfect First Impression

Hey guys! Can you tell I'm trying to be artistic with my cover image here? Anyway, a couple of weeks ago, I got an unexpected package that I want to share with all of you.

Who wouldn't be excited to get a surprise gift from one of the country's leading cosmetics company? The sight of this paper bag from Maybelline alone made me want to dig in and see what's inside.

Included in the bag is this interactive wheel. The tool instructs you to choose which among the ladies presented in the pictures match the personality trait being asked within 8 seconds. 

After accomplishing the task, I realized how first impressions can definitely make or break an individual. Those first few seconds you spend with other people are indeed crucial to how they will continue to perceive you. This is why you should always make an effort to present yourself properly in public. I can totally relate to this because I get to see and meet new people everyday in my clinic. So I make sure to always look presentable in appropriate wardrobe with just the right makeup. While you're at it, flashing a smile at people around you wouldn't hurt. 

Let's face it, most of the time, if not always, first impressions are based on appearance. You need to look your best if you want yours to be perfect. Maybelline helps you achieve just that with their Clear Smooth BB Stick. Believe me when I tell you that this product is amazing. It glides on smoothly and a single stroke followed by blending with your fingertips or a flat brush will do the trick! I raved about this the first time I tried it in 2012. You may click here to see my in-depth review.

If a stick type BB Cream isn't your thing, don't despair! Maybelline also formulated an 8-in-1 Skin Transformer BB Cream and High Protection BB White. Lastly, while first impressions count, what happens beyond that is what really matters. At this point, just be yourself and everything else will follow.
