Color madness. O_O

Ever since I started out my love for makeup, I have always wanted to get the 88 palette. Everyone knows it, and everyone has it. I wanted to get the 88 Matte palette but I find matte to be very boring sometimes. Then I wanted to get the 88 Shimmer palette but I don't like to have just shimmers. I also wanted to get the 88 Warm palette but I find it too neutral. I wanted to get a palette with a mix of matte, satin and shimmer. Lo and behold, the Avant Garde Palette from Dollface Cosmetics. My bestfriend bought me this as her Christmas present, this is why I love Christmas. ;)

It's very colorful, I'm in awe. It reminds me of my water color set back when I was younger. One shadow had a chip though, but it's okay because the color can be easily duped. I got it for P900 + 75 for shipping. I think it's reasonable. It was packed very well, tons and tons of bubble wrap. The seller, Ms. Pearl was also very accommodating. I'm very happy with this palette. I can't wait to start playing with it. :D

Christmas Present. :)

Hey everyone. Yesterday was happy day for me, it's because my grandpa bought me his Christmas gift. My laptop Fernando has been put to rest for a couple of months now, that's the reason why I haven't been blogging that much. My cousin just lets me borrow hers when I need to do something online. About a month ago, I asked my grandpa if I could get a new toy for Christmas and he said yes. I decided to get a netbook since it's small and I could easily bring it to school. As I'm making this post, I'm using my new netbook. Exciting. :D And of course, I named him already. His name is Rambo. ;) I have a thing for naming my toys.

That's it for my quick post. I can now officially start blogging again. Before I end this, I'm gonna leave you a photo of what I've been eating since yesterday.

Mango float, yum! :D

Last purchase for 2010. :D

I know I keep on talking about Christmas here, I'm sorry, I just can't help it. I have always loved Christmas, there's just something about it that makes me smile. It's funny how time passes by. When I was younger, I would ask toys and art stuff for Christmas, and now 11 years after, I'm asking for makeup. ;) Anyway, I'm almost done with my Christmas shopping, I just have to think about what to get my elder brother. Any suggestions? He's 20 years old and I have no idea what to get him. O_O And also, exam week is finally over, hello Christmas break. :D

Okay, enough talking, let's get to the fun part. As the title says, this would probably be my last purchase for the year. I just bought 3 things, nothing really grand, but it got me very excited.

Since I ran out of my Maybelline Dream Matte Powder, and I don't want to use my MAC MSFN for an everyday powder, I got the Fanny Serrano Two-Way Cake, as recommended by Thiamere. I bought it for P399 which I find a bit pricey. I got the shade Chino. Love the coverage and how smooth it goes on.

Next, blushes. I'm very happy with these two blushes that I got. Again, I got it from Ivy.

Mocha is described as soft plum-pink and it's matte. I thought it would be a brown blush judging from the name, but it isn't, although it has a little bit of brown in it. I love the color and I think this would be my everyday blush from now on. Move over NYX Angel blush. :p

Fleur Power is described as soft bright pinkish-coral and it's satin. It is very bright so I really need a light hand when using this. I also use it with a stippling brush because it is very pigmented. This would be good for everyday too if I want a pop of color.

I got the blushes for P650 each which is very cheap compared to others. The seller, Ivy, is very patient and accommodating too. I'm one happy customer. :)

That's it for my haul. I hope you all have a fun weekend. ^_^

I'm loving my brows. :))

Honestly, I envy people with perfect brows. I hate mine with a passion. Well, not really, I just don't like it. I talked about it here, I did the My Perfect Imperfections Tag.

Anyway, I've been watching a lot of brow tutorials on YouTube, I tried it tonight,and voila! It still doesn't look right. I decided to give up and just play around. Here's the outcome:







Do you like it? Me? I love it. I think it's not over the top, and it's perfect for everyday. ;D

That's it ladies, I hope this post made you smile. Good night. :)

Christmas is around the corner. :)

Oh yes it is. I am very excited, and I bet you all are too. ;) Anyway, since I was feeling the Christmas season, I decided to come up with a look since I didn't know what else to do awhile ago. I came up with a bronze and green look, I don't know with you, but I find those two colors a bit festive. :)

And to add up a little bit of the festive feel, I wore MAC Viva Glam Cyndi Lipstick on my lips, which I love by the way. ;)

In here I wore Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in Soft Nude to tone down the look a little.

That's it, thanks for reading. Until next time. :)
