Just because it's almost 2 in the morning, and I can't go to be. > :(

Yes, you got that right. I decided to make a blog post since I can't sleep and I have to do something to keep myself busy, yay for that! :)

Sooo, I just want to share some pictures with you all. Things that happened a couple months back, when I went MIA. ;)

First up, my highschool friend asked me to do her makeup for their ballet recital. At first, I was kinda hesitant because doing other people's makeup is such a tough job for me, since I'm not used to it. But in the end though, I took the challenge. :) PS, please don't laugh on how I did her look, I know I suck. But hey, it was just for fun. :p

Next up, my 18th birthday. Here in the Philippines, we usually throw a huge party when girls turn 18, but I decided not to. I was just being practical. ;) I didn't have any plans, but my friend decided to throw me a surprise party which was very sweet. Part 2 was actually in our dorm, my dormies and cousin suprised me with 2 cakes. :D

Last one, some recent pictures of me. Just a proof that I'm still alive. :p Just kidding. I just wanna share pictures of me wearing the Myra VitaGlow Tinted Moisturizer which I've been kinda loving. ;)

I used MAC MSFN to set it, and NARS Orgasm Blush for my cheeks. So far, I'm liking the combination! ;)

That's it. I hope you enjoyed the pictures I shared. Again, I'm sorry for not posting all the time. I've been concentrating with my studies. I swear I'm gonna visit when I have the time though. ;)

Take care lovely ladies. =]

I'M ALIIIIIIVE! :D

Hey ya'll! Yes, I am still alive and kicking. ^_^

My last blog post was about 4 months ago, crazy! I am very sorry for my absence. Here's a quick update about my life:

-Shifted course, from Nursing to Human Resource Management. I tried very hard to love Nursing, but it didn't work out.
-My laptop, and his name's Pablo, isn't with me, thus, the lack of post.
-Had summer classes, everyday. I pretty much spent all my summer at school. No vacation for me.
-I *kinda* got my heart broken over the summer. :|
-Now I'm a college sophomore, yay! :)
-My birthday's in a week, turning 18. Not that excited. ;)
-Exam week next week, that sucks. -.-
-My blog's turning one year old this month, I can't remember the exact day though.
-I haven't been buying makeup for the past couple of months, but I'm still swapping. ;)

That's basically it. Again, I'm sorry for being MIA. I hope you're all doing good. I missed blogging. :)

Bye. :D

Update! :)

Hey ladies, this is just gonna be a quick post.

I finally bought a new charger for my laptop. Yay! :D This means I could blog more, hopefully. ;) After our midterms exam, I promise I'm gonna get back with reviews. I just have to study and do all my requirements, wish me luck with my exam. :D

Enjoy the rest of the week ladies, take care! :)

Just a quick hello. :)

Hello ladies! How are you all? I bet ya'll are busy doing your Christmas shopping. Just like all of you, I love Christmas too. Who doesn't, right? :D

Anyways, there's a couple of reason why I went MIA..
-First, my laptop's charger is broken.
-Second, the dorm's WiFi was busted for a couple of weeks.
-Third, I was 'hibernating' (aka saving up) for Christmas. :D

Now I'm just making a quick post to thank 2 generous ladies. This week, I got early Christmas gifts.

First up,


This I got last Monday, it's my prize for Geneys' Small Giveaway. Yes, I won, and that's a first. :D


And here's what I got. :D

Geneys, thank you sooo much. :)

Next,


I just got this today. I decided to go to the Post Office cause it has been 3 weeks ( I think), and I still haven't received it. I thought it got lost or something, now that's gonna be real sad. But, it was all worth it when the guy came out bringing a white box. :D


A special gift from a special girl, thank you. :)


Stila
My Mother, My Hero

Now here's the inside. xD

Guess who gave this to me? I'll give you a clue. She's one little sneaky lady, oh yes she is. ;)

Yes! You got that right ladies, it's from Thiamere. ^_^

Thia, thank you oh so much for your gift. You're indeed a generous person. I love youuu. :D

~ Now I'm kinda back, I'm not sure though if I could post up something from time to time, I still have to get my charger fixed. And I still have to study for our exams next week. Just one more week before Christmas break. Ohh yeah! :]

Take care ladies. Enjoy your Christmas shopping! And, don't forget to spend your money wisely.

Update on my skin dilemma. -_-

I hate my skin. :(

Just last week, I bought myself a new moisturizer as seen in my haul post. It was Biore Shine Control Moisturizer, and as what I've said in my other post ages ago, my skin has been really dry. Man I'm stupid, I bought a moisturizer which is formulated for oily skin. Yes, my skin's oily when it's humid, or when I'm sweating and under the sun. But I've observed that my skin gets very dry when I'm inside an airconditoned room. To make it worse, all the classes I go to everyday are rooms with aircon, which sucks. I feel like my whole face is dry, especially around my nose and mouth, sometimes my cheeks and forehead.

I'm thinking about getting another moisturizer, I'm still gonna be using my Biore one, but this time it's gonna be my day moisurizer. Now I'm torn between two products which I could use as my night moisturizer. These are readily available here in Davao that's why I'm stuck with two options. Here they are:

*Image from Yahoo.com

I don't know if you could see the 2nd picture, but that's the St. Ives Collagen Elastin. The 1st one's the Ponds Dry Skin Cream. So has any of you tried these 2 products? Any comment? Negative feedback? Anything? Please help me girls. :(

Thanks ladies. :)

EOTD. Update. I think. O_o

Hey ladies. While I'm making this post, I'm also chatting with my lovely girlfriends, Thiamere and Gracie. Here's a shout out to both of you, it's been a long time since we had our last conference, I really enjoy all the things we talk about, *wink wink*. I missed you both so much. :)

So anyways, as the title says, this is an EOTD that I did awhile ago. Nothing special though, I was just bored that's why I played with my makeup and came up with a look. I actually did it to my right eye only because I was busy watching the TV. ^_^

Please excuse the nasty zit. ;)

I don't know if you could see it clearly though, but yeah, it's like a smokey eye look. Notice my lid? It has like 2 folds, weird. My right eye has been acting real weird this week.

And also, I got a haircut, nothing dramatic, it's just shorter.

Excuse the messy hair too, just came home from school.

That's basically it. Have a great weekend ladies. :D

- Nicole <3

*Made this yesterday. ;)

Update and a veeery little Haul. :D

Hey chicas! :) I haven't been blogging that much, just posting some contests and giveaways. But now I'm here for a little update and haul.

Gracie asked me why I don't do EOTDs, like other girls. I told her I don't have enough tools. LOL. And I dont have the guts because I'm not good with makeup, at all. But for the past few days, I've been playing around with my limited resources. I'ma show ya'll an attempted EOTD, which is a total fail, BTW. :)) Please don't laugh, cause I'm just starting out. Practice make perfect, right? :)

FAIIIIIL!

Excuse the messy hair, oily face and thick brows. ;)

Now let's get to my haul. I ordered some BRTC samples 2 weeks ago, and at last, it arrived safely.

It came all the way from Taiwan.

You know what's funny though? One baggie have 6 different BRTC samples. I paid for just one baggie. I received 2 envelopes, I was like o_O.

And now I have 12 samples. Lucky me. :D

That's it ladies. Enjoy the rest of your week. TCCIC. :]
