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. :)

First video on YouTube. :))

Guess what? I just posted my first video on YouTube. I'm making a huge embarrassment of myself, but oh well. :))

You could go and watch it here if you're interested. Please don't make fun of me. :/ I did it purely for fun and experience. :D

Nail Polish Haul

Hey everyone, it's been almost a month since I posted here. Again, I'm sorry for being MIA all the time. Same reason, I'm still busy with school and stuff since second semester just started. I haven't been buying a lot of makeup lately, I'm trying to save up for Christmas which is fast approaching. Aren't we all excited? :D

Anyway, yesterday I went to Chimes. It's a specialty store here in Davao which sells a whole lot of stuff. Stuff that usually see in the mall. They sell more like imported things. They also sell some high-end cosmetics which is cool. I passed by the nail polish section and was amazed with the selection. It was bigger now compared to the last time I went. Then I found these nail polishes with cute bottles, at first I looked at the colors they had, they had about 30 cool colors to choose from. Then I looked at the price, hoping it would be expensive so that I would not buy it, but then it was just P29.50, how couldn't I say no?



It's called Diffi. I don't know where it's made from though. It doesn't have a specific name for each color too, just a number at the bottom.


This one's M32. In real life it looks like a blueish-purple, and it's matte. Sorry for the crappy webcam photo.


And this one's B22. It's just a gray color. This was the first one I wanted to get since I can't find a good gray matte colors from the local brands here in the Philippines.

Over all, I love it. I'm going back to buy more since it IS very cheap. :D

That's it. Thanks for reading. :)

Revlon Photoready Foundation

Hey everyone! It's already October, crazy right? I think 2010 went by so fast. :/

So anyways, this week's going to be the last for our first semester, which means we have a break after, for like 3 weeks. :/

This is just going to be a quick post about the Revlon Photoready Foundation which I got from a swap a couple months back. I never really had the time to play around with it, until today. I tried taking pictures with me wearing it. :)

Excuse the brows, and excuse me for being such a camwhore. ;) I got the shade 006 Medium Beige. I actually like it compared to Colorstay. It looks and feels much lighter. I must agree that it works well for photos. :)

That's it, I have to go and study now. Ciao everyone! :]

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. =]
