An Afternoon with Glambox, Askmewhats, and Beautynomics (caution a bit photo-heavy)

Image
Ola! How are you ladies?  Even though the rain has been pounding here in Manila that didn't stopped me from going to the Glambox event yesterday.  If all of you are followers of Nikki (of Askmewhats) and Sophie (of Beautynomics), you'd probably know that they had this event on their pages a couple of weeks ago. Luckily I was invited by Glambox ^_^ borrowed from Glambox's fanpage ^_^ I arrived at the event at around 12:55pm, just in time. The call time was 1:00pm so I just arrived in time.  But the event started at around 2pm. There were food at the event. Unfortunately I wasn't able to take a picture of it (out of shyness? well not really) Nikki  Sophie At the start of the event  At the start of the event Nikki was the one talking about Skin Care and also foundation application with the Glambox kit. She also taught us how to choose the right foundation. If you are acidic always remember to choose a color that is 2 shades lighter than your skin tone! :)

Permit for a giveaway?? YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING!

An article has been released stating that if a blogger is going to have a giveaway / contest you have to get a permit from DTI.  If you want to see the article you can go here.   Do you want to know what I think about this?  THE IDEA IS SIMPLY PREPOSTEROUS!  seriously, paying for a permit to giveaway stuff for free??  I know and understand that they are just protecting the consumers. Protecting them from what? from a free sigma brush? HA! I am really irritated with this because not all of us are getting paid to blog. I for one don't even generate a sufficient income with my blog. I blog because I love sharing information that I have gathered.  I also don't ask for donations or anything in return when I do reviews. I also PURCHASE what I review mind you.  This idea is simply giving me a headache because I am going to have my VERY first giveaway yet I am not gonna giveaway the prizes because of this information? ARE YOU SERIOUS??!?! There is no way I am keeping the items t

Kpop Fridays: I am the Best by 2ne1

Image
Happy Friday!  I am soooooooo happy today!  For some reason I feel so giddy today...I dunno why...may be because I got 7 full hours of sleep? haha! Maybe... :D I know you have seen and heard 2ne1's new song "I am the Best" and I absolutely love it! I haven't posted this last month because I just discovered the song on the first week of July so please forgive me :)  I especially love the concept that was shown in their teaser poster  And in the video they have guns which are sooo cool! But in reality be responsible in handling guns okay?  I've actually shot a video regarding this look. Its like a very very quick video...you have to watch out for that ayt? :)  Here are some of the looks they had on the video. Credits to google.com for the pictures :)  I wasn't able to get those of Minzy and CL.. so sowee :(  I really like their make ups in the video, its so clean and fierce in a way. I especially like the head gear of Dara in the picture about. It lo

Product Review: Clinique Derma Brightening cream

Image
Ola! This is my review of the Clinique Derma whitening cream.] This was given to me as a freebie from the Clinique party.  If you like to check that out click here. One of my main concerns is my acne marks. You may not see it in my pictures or videos but I have a lot especially on my jaw line.  Back then I had moderately severe acne which left scars in my jaw line.   The cream I got was actually intended for dry skin or for type 1 and 2 skin according to their chart. I was advised to only use this at night since being exposed to sun with the cream on will make my skin really sensitive. Lets go to the Pro’s and Con’s shall we? What I love about the product: --Did not break me out. Which is a good thing ^_^ --Does not have an icky scent.  --Leaves my skin moisturized.  --It did decreased my acne marks.  --and lightened my skin, but not in a pale, vampire-ish way.  What I did not like about the product: -- Its in a tub packaging. It’s a bit unhygienic in a way because I have to sc

NOTD: Ladybug nails

Hey! So glad you dropped by!  I have been interested in nail art for some time now but I can't seem to think of a good design. Of course being the nerd that I really am I checked out designs online. I found some really good ones but it made me question my creativity.  For a girl who has a lot to say, when it comes in sketching or drawing I am a big epic failure in that area. But then I gave it a shot for once.  This is the simplest design I was able to come up with at the moment. Since I bought 2 nail polishes which is in red and black, I decided to use them instead. :)  I initially wanted to have a watermelon design because I like watermelon but the more I look at it it looks like a lady bug for some reason. Maybe because I didn't added a green at the sides? I dunno haha!  This was another first for me. And a start of many more "firsts" in my blog.  If you have any request - either for make up looks or nail art please don't hesitate to message me or com

Rain Rain please go away

I love the rain when I am at home. When I'm outside, That's a different story.  I just hate the fact that when it seems everyone is so dang tired and lazy to move - Even jeepney drivers. I was really cussing when I waited for like 20 minutes to get a ride. I promise this is not going to be a rant about laziness. So yeah I was really cussing because in that 20 minutes half of my body is already wet. Its not only rainy but also windy.  This is my only plea to Juaning, Please go away. I don't like you so just go away.  I was able to get to work in one piece and not get late. the only thing I am really concerned now is to not get sleepy. I usually get very sleepy when it is raining, and also very forgetful for some reason! LOL  I'm just really thankful because I don't really have a lot of classes so I can do a lot of research and marketing stuff.  By the way the giveaway video will be posted soon so always check my blog, Facebook page and also twitter for more upd

Beauty Tips when travelling.

When I went on a trip with my friends a few years ago. I only bought necessary things with me like soap, facial wash and stuff.  On the other hand my friend almost bought her whole make up collection with her. Honestly, I was kind of glad she did that because we were still able to fix ourselves but then again too much of anything would be bad for us. So this is some tips you can do to lighten your baggage and not worry if you still look okay. 1.        Skip foundation. When you are on a trip you don’t need to bring foundation since that there will be times that you are always outside sweating under the sun. You can just use a tinted moisturizer or BB cream for a sheer coverage. Also I suggest to also skip on the concealer since tinted moisturizer and BB creams can cover them up. 2.        SFP is a MUST. Protect yourself against the sun. Bring some spf lotion with you so that you can re-apply when needed.   I know having a tan is great, but seeing your skin

HIV and reproductive health awareness for the youth

Image
I saw online the news about a 12 year old girl that has been infected with the HIV virus.  I honestly feel bad about this since she is only 12 years old. During that age, I was still interested in playing dolls and guns, yes I do play girly games and guy games. I was no ordinary girl.  According to the report, she got the infection through intercourse which dismayed me so much because I didn't know that even younger girls are THAT curious about sex at a young age. I just wish that she was educated much earlier.  I know there had been this issue about the Reproductive Health Bill and how immoral it is. The Reproductive Health bill for my opinion is there to educate and to practice our right to choose. It is not to kill a child but rather help us know what we can do to keep ourselves away from not just getting pregnant but also to not get infected by sexually transmitted diseases.  I heard on a mass last Sunday that on the Reproductive Bill that requires only females to go thro

FOTD: getting cheeky

Image
Ola! How have you girls been?  I would just like to thank you all for supporting my blog and watch out for my upcoming giveaway. Yes! A giveaway! yey! I'll be posting the details soon so don't worry.  Let's get started with the FOTD ok?  So for today I actually wore a dress to work. And since I don't really like dress up for work my co-workers were a bit surprised since I was courageous enough for that. That is why the FOTD's name is getting cheeky. Its basically because I get cheeky when I dress up. I RARELY do this. I'll show you the picture of the dress next time though, I forgot my camera at home and my camera at the office won't be able to show the whole dress.  Products used:  Jordache Palette Ever Bilena Advance Concealer in light vanilla Ever Bilena Cheek Blush in Cheek Avon Simply Pretty Shine no more pressed powder in Soft Bisque Maybelline NY moisture extreme lipstick in windsor rose Human Heart Nature in Peppermint  Now for the Poses of
