Ola!  I'm back with a Tag post ^_^ Unfortunately ladies I don't have an FOTD for today because for some reason my make up bag is missing. I don't even have my lipbalm. I feel so naked haha!

Product Review: Avon Simply Pretty Big Eye Pencil

Image
Ola!  I’m back with another review. I t seems I have been doing reviews lately.  I gotta post them since I’ve made them like 2 weeks ago haha! I was a busy bee last week so I have a valid excuse! Char! Wahaha! Okay so for today’s review I will be reviewing Avon’s Big Eye Pencil. At first look it may look like a crayon, that was what my nephew and niece thought. They actually tried to use it. Thankfully I was able to stop them hehe. As far as I remember this product came out in their February 2011 issue.  You can use it in 2 ways: 1. Eyeshadow 2. Eyeliner  This comes in 3 colors: Rose, Emerald, and a blue one . I actually forgot its name sorry :( . Packaging wise it is very simple, not to flashy but still cute. I was quite impressed at first because it’s a 2 in 1 product. I actually use it as a base for my eye shadows rather than by itself. I also had some issue with the color since its quite limited. It only has 3 colors while when you look into their international counterpart

I finally got the camera! Yey!

Ola! Happy Wednesday!  What a weird day. When I was on my way to work it was raining, and now that I am here at the office the rain suddenly stopped and its now scorching hot! Goodness! How is your Wednesday so far? I finally got my camera! I borrowed my Ate Leng’s (my brother's fiance) Sanyo Xacti S4 Digital Camera Unfortunately this camera doesn’t have any audio so I guess this would be my camera for my looks and when I will make tutorials on my youtube. I am very excited about this because I haven’t shot a video tutorial EVER. I’ll also be doing some random things in this camera like monitoring my weight loss with pictures and also for events. Thank you so much Ate Leng for letting me borrow your camera! I promise I will take care of it! It may seem like I’m so happy to have this camera but I am because this will really help me more in my youtube and also photography stuff. I am currently saving up for a better one of my own so that I can use it whenever I can. ^_^ Wi

Product Review: Ever Bilena Advance Shine Free Foundation.

Image
Ola! Happy Tuesday! I’m back with another product review for you all and this is also from Ever Bilena. I have used Ever Bilena Cosmetics for a long time so I am really impressed with their products. On today’s review will also be about their foundation which is the Advance Shine Free Foundation. When I saw this foundation I was intrigued about the shades which are actually darker than my skin tone. I bought one from a sales representative on their direct sales for around 130++ I forgot the exact price sorry ^_^ . Honestly, at first I was disappointed because the shade I got looked like its not fit for me, but then when I used it I realized that I got the perfect shade. Unlike the stick foundation, this one is in liquid form which usually gives a light to medium coverage. I’ve actually used this on some of my FOTD’s and I like its matte finish. I actually like using this because I don’t have to powder afterwards because of its matte finish. It’s also long lasting; this laste

New addition to my blog! ^_^

Image
Ola!  I have been thinking of making my blog more accessible to girls outside the Philippines and I realized that I can't reach that niche if I only use English as the only language of my blog. So with that I added a new feature in my  blog.  There are 9 languages you can choose from. There is French, German, Italian, Arab, Japanese, Korean, Chinese and languages.  Let me know if this really helps ^_^ Much Love!  -- Alice

Product Review: Ever Bilena Studio Finish Foundation

Image
Ola! Here is a new post for you all! I’m back with a review ^_^ Foundation is one thing that we really need to be careful on because that is the first thing we apply. Other than knowing how to blend the foundation on we need to know the right shade for us. I will do another post on how to find the right shade of foundation for us, but for now I’ll be reviewing one of Ever Bilena’s foundation. Before I begin this review I will just state that I was not paid nor affiliated by Ever Bilena Cosmetics Inc. And all that I say here are from my personal experience. I am not forcing you to buy their products; I am merely stating the experience of using the said product. So let’s proceed with the review. I’ve actually tried this foundation before but I was in college. The thing about Ever Bilena Cosmetics is that they really cater their products to the Filipino market. All their products are high quality but doesn’t break the bank for the budget conscious Filipina. I bought this product

Monday Blues

Image
Ola! Happy Monday!  I try to be more perky on the first day of the week but it seems not everything is working out the way it was suppose to be.  1. I forgot my Mp3 Player at home. 2. I sent the wrong file on my email. (Thankfully it was not successfully sent) 3. I forgot my make up AGAIN! the only make up I have in my bag is my compact, lipstick and my blush.  I seriously need to get a bag organizer! I have a gorgeous bag but it turns into a black hole when I am in a hurry for work.  I actually woke up really late today! gosh!  What a way to start the week right?  But nonetheless it was a good Monday after all because I woke up seeing my two little angels, My nephew and niece. I love seeing them all perky and not moody ^_^ I just wish my other students would also be like them hehe! Joking! I love my students even if most of them are naughty and don't study our lessons. haha!  Well I have to go now I have a class in 10 mins.. I'll be posting a new article later ayt?

I've been meaning to sign up but I haven't got the courage.  But now I finally did it! haha!  I actually got more interested when Bec (from mygorgeouspinkcheeks) told me about Nuffnang and its perks. ^_^ I hope I'll gain more readers and friends at the same time!  Well I gotta go sleep na! I have work tomorrow eh hehe!  Much Love! -- Alice

Estee Lauder Pure Impact Lipstick Launch at Gateway Mall

Image
 This post is so over due please forgive me! Been really busy with work and everything else I wasn't able to update this site.. so sorry.  Last Saturday (June 18, 2011) I was at Gateway Mall in Cubao to check out their latest lippies which are the Pure Impact lipstick which I think costs about 1,350 PHP (approx 31.12 USD) There are several shades available in which you can choose from. Honestly speaking, the price is kinda steep, but then if you've tried the product you'll see why the price is so steep LOL The event actually started at 1 pm but I arrived at 3 pm. I arrived that late because I didn't know it was that early, there was no time indicated but it was okay.  here is the gorgeous Bec ^_^ When I arrived, I met Bec (of mygorgeouspinkcheeks) we were the only ones there at the time so I didn't waste my time to try out the lippies haha! and I got a little make over too ^_^ also from Estee Lauder. The nice lady from Estee Lauder, actually recommende

I'm on a diet (AGAIN?!?!)

As promised I will tell you why I have not been doing FOTD's for this week.  For one, it has been raining since Monday which is a total drag if you ask me. I actually don't want to fix myself because its been really windy and I've had some cases where my umbrella would flip because of the strong winds. It would just be a waste of my make up haha!  Second is because I am on a diet. I just started a 5 day diet in which it consists of drinking shakes and also taking some medication. Since its like a detox of a sort I have started breaking out.  I wanted to go on a diet again because I have gained a lot of weight and I had been really bothered by it because we have a history of Diabetes in our family. And as they say, if your over weight your immune system will decrease and you'll get sick.  I wanted to feel better about myself so I am really trying hard to lose the weight. My mom fully supports me on this because she misses my sexy body too.. haha! For real! When I lo

Surprise! ^_^

Ola! Just a little surprise for you all! ^_^ I really like the matte red lipstick from Ever Bilena so I used it today ^_^ This is not an FOTD since I only used the lipstick ^_^ Now for the wacky shot of the day! LOL Much Love! -- Alice

I won!

For the first time I won something! Haha! It may seem weird but I really feel glad because I didn’t expect to win something from the Facebook Promo of Ever Bilena Cosmetics. According to the Brand Administrator of Ever Bilena Cosmetics I won a loot bag from Ever Bilena. At first I was like “really?” haha! But then I checked my Facebook thru my phone and it’s true! I won! LOL I just feel so overjoyed because this is the first time I won something in a long time. ^_^ The mechanics are really simple. You will just share your personal make up tips using your favorite Ever Bilena Make up and get a chance to with a beauty loot bag. The best make up tips will be featured in Ever Bilena’s website and magazine advertorials. They will pick 7 lucky winners every week. There is a total of 28 winners that will also represent Ever Bilena’s 28 Years of providing quality products. For the last part, I am not sure yet if we will be able to be part of that. But the Brand Administrator said he will

Breaking out is part of the process.

Image
I have acne-prone skin so it’s not an issue when I get break out every now and then. meet my red little bumps haha! :)) The usual factors of breaking out is basically the food you eat, the place or environment you live in, and also stress factors in our everyday lives. I live in the city which means that pollution is everywhere. One of the stress factors in my life right now is my work. I know my job is not that stressful to the least but there are times that you just want to scream when all your students are not in the mood to have lesson. Eating habits wise is a bit different nowadays since I am on a cleansing week. I have been drinking water. No soda or caffeine and also no junk food. For some reason I also do not have cravings for chocolate, pasta and rice which is kind of nice if you ask me. I have been breaking out mainly because I am cleansing myself. I have been taking medicine that will take off some excess baggage. I’ll tell you about this after 5 days. Basically b

No FOTD for this week :'(

Ola! I have been in a haitus for like 3 or 4 days. I'm so sorry about that :( Its just that last Friday was so stressful. I had to make like several reports at work and I had to attend 3 events during the weekend, but I'll tell you guys about the events on the next post ayt? As stated in the title there would be no FOTD this week because I can't help but get irritated about the weather here in the Philippines. I just don't like the fact that the rain will ruin my look. It has been raining since Saturday in which is a total bummer. I also can't do an FOTD because my camera is not working. I have to find a new one though so I can do FOTD and other photography-related stuff. I will still have posts for you girls so don't you worry ^_^ If you have any questions you can comment below. Much Love! Alice

Product Review: Neutrogena anti acne facial soap.

Image
This product review is about the Neutrogena Anti acne facial bar. This product literally saved me from pre-adolescent acne. During my High school years I had that wicked battle with acne. During my Freshman year was I think the worst. I don’t have pictures to show since I was so conscious of what I look like back then. During High School most of my acne was in my cheeks, chin and jaw line area. I was so conscious that I always wear my hair down and my self esteem was at its worst. My mom initially bought me this because she saw how I don’t like to socialize anymore during parties she would host. I would usually be the center of attention because of my singing abilities I.E. I was the Entertainment committee during the party .Weird right? haha! I am so thankful my mom bought me this! She really knows the best! ^_^ My initial reaction was it was drying on my skin, I realized that it dried my skin because of the acne I had. Other from that there were no other things I was
