August 2011 Haul

Image
Ola girls!  I have decided I will just do a monthly haul because I don't really shop till I drop in the first place haha!  any who these are the stuff that I bought within the month of August. First thing I bought was Myra E daily sun protect facial moisturizer. I have been using this moisturizer for some time and it has never failed me. I also bought Pond's clear solutions since I have the usual pre-menstrual break out that I need to tame from time to time.  Next is a lippie from Sophie Paris Koshize lipstick in Red Salsa. If you have read my addictions on lipsticks you may have seen this. I love the color since it doesn't make me look like I just drank blood. This lipstick is matte and long lasting, so I will test it out.   Another sophie paris! I have seen this before when I was still in college but I haven't used it for myself. So I bought this basically out of the whim and because I have been becoming a bit lazy in applying make up. Blame it in this pesky

Ola Ladies!  Happy Monday!  I do hope you are having a great Monday so far.  I know a lot of you don't have work or school. But for me I have! I work for a Korean so its different.  Double Pay naman! hahahaha! :))  Enough from that I heard that there is a cosmetics expo this coming sept 2 - 4 in Megamall. If I remember it correctly its in Mega trade hall 1.  If you like make up, hair care and everything beauty-related check this expo.  Did I say FREE ADMISSION? haha! I guess so! :)  I'd love to attend this expo but this coming Saturday I will be in Laguna enjoying a relaxing weekend with my friends. I'll let you know more on my Travel Blog and of course here! :)  Much Love!  -- Alice  PS Thank you to Jes Roque for this info! :) Love you girl!  We really need to meet up and chat one of this days :) 

Product Review: Queen Helene oatmeal and honey facial scrub

Image
Hey girls! Another review for y'all on this gloomy Sunday!  I usually scrub every other day on my face due to dead skin build up and also from my blackheads and whiteheads.  My brother gave me this scrub from Queen Helene since he doesn't use it.  Ako lang daw ang vain sa amin tatlo! haha! (that's because I'm the vain one in the family! haha!) but what the hey! I actually love St. Ives and I trust it with my whole entire (sige teh redundant pa! XD ) life. And I actually just want to stick with that but being the curious bunny that I am..yes I call myself a curious bunny hihi!    I like to try new things so I would know if they are okay or not.  And this is one of those things that I have to try.  THE CLAIM: Gently helps remove the dull surface layers of your skin, to reveal your naturally smooth and healthy complexion. Things that I like:  -- Has finer grains that St. Ive's. -- it does gently remove dead skin cells -- does not break me out  -- good for a

My addictions: Sophie Paris Lippies!

Image
Ola girls! I have promised to show you these lippies I got from Sophie Paris a couple of weeks ago. I also bought another one which makes it 4! hihi!  I feel like a kid who just got her Christmas present, but for me was the lippies I have been dreaming of!  I really like these lippies because they are so pigmented and the colors are just to love!  Here are the swatches! I got 3 lippies from their J'adore Lipstick which costs only 79 php (approx 1.86 USD) and 1 from their koshize collection for 180 php  (approx 4.23 USD) I honestly did not make a mistake with these colors. I especially love red wine which is going to be my fall lippie. I know what you are thinking... Alice there is no fall in the Philippines...why should you sport a fall color? MY ANSWER? its been raining recently and fall colors would still fit my FOTD because of the gloomy weather! :)  ice pink  Ice pink is actually a color I can use when I need an instant pop of color on my face. Its like E

Happy Friday! I just want to hide... tsk! Although it is not a good Friday for me its ok. I have been lacking in my posts. I am really sorry girls...I really do. I have been busy because 1. Work - I was given a lot of reports to do which is not a good thing if you ask me. 2.Kids - I don't have kids of my own but I take care of two rascals that I can't seem to have the time to write a new article.  and  3. I lost one thousand pesos -- This may seem weird for me not to write but I have a solid reason.  I lost one thousand pesos last Tuesday, I was going to send the prizes for Issa and Kingking when I noticed that my wallet seems lighter. Its not actually a whole one thousand bill I have in my wallet but a mix of 100's, 20's and 50's. I also had some change in my wallet which seemed weird because it has become lighter.  As much to my surprise someone at home had been sneaking into my room and taking my money without my consent.  I admit I do sound a bit

Shen's Clinique Party Experience ^_^ a little photo heavy

Image
Hey girls! How was your weekend? For me it was great!  I was able to join Shen in her Clinique Party yesterday. I've been into one before if you want to know what happened there click here We also had great food from Bizu.  Jheng from Iambrigitte.com also dropped by and we had a blast! :)  Jheng of  http://www.iambrigitte.com/  and miss Malou of Clinique   Compared to last time, I was able to try their perfect fit foundation unfortunately they stop making those.  But luckily I was able to try their Derma White foundation. My initial thoughts about it? hmmm...its good, but I think its a bit too shiny on my skin after a couple of hours, but oil blotting sheet will be your BFF with this. It does give out a good glow on my skin and it lasted the whole day! It did oxidized a little on my skin after 3 hours. Maybe it was because of the pollution? not really sure about that theory, but maybe don't you think? I also met some fantastic girls!  Here are some of their pict

K-pop Friday: Roly Poly by T-ara

Image
Ola!  Happy Friday!  For today's K-pop Friday I would like to talk about T-ara's new song called "Roly Poly". Honestly, when I first heard the title I was like "Roly....Poly?" I actually haven't heard the song then and I was not feeling the song that much because of the title. But then a couple of days ago I stumble on seeing the video on TVN and I became interested in it.  In terms of its rhythm and melody, it is really catchy and addictive. The lyrics are actually the same in context with songs that portrays girls saying they like a guy. I can actually compare this to Secret's "Starlight Moonlight", but without the uber day dream sequence.  I also love the 70's / 80's concept of their costumes and dance moves. The MV also gives out that nostalgic feel from the yester years. I was born at the end of the 80's so don't even think I am THAT old! LOL!  I especially love their make up looks and hair dos!  its really some

Broken Lippie + me = :(

Hey girls! You may have seen this picture from my previous post.   And it is regarding the Ever Bilena Collections palette  that unfortunately was damaged by my niece and nephew.  When I saw this I was like *OMFG*  I love my nephew and my niece. They are my pride and joy. And honestly I would really give everything to them, but when their curiosity brings havoc to my world I just can't help but say  "why? what have I done to you that you did this?"  You should have seen my face when I saw this, I was like the screamer, without the creepy hood and all.  ugh! I can't actually scold those two because they are so darn sensitive and adorable. And they really did learn my tricks of the puppy eyes...goodness! why do you have to be that good like your tita! haha!  MORAL OF THE STORY:  Keep your make up AWAY from toddlers The more curious they are the worst it can be.  Here are some pictures of my nephew and niece This is Ivan This is Precious What

Erik Santos' powER IKons Concert + Surprise!!

Image
Last night I was able to catch "powER IKons" concert of Erik Santos.  I was able to watch it with 4 more bloggers :)  Check the pictures below for a special surprise BUT first read this article ok? :)  There were a lot of this I can really commend in this concert. For one is their repertoire, I had first hand experience picking music for a production and its quite hard to choose a good collection of songs. The music transition is great.  From Rihanna, Beyonce, to Barbara Streisand, to local icons such as Regine Velasquez, Gary Valenciano, which actually was there too!  and to classics such as Rod Stewart and Basil Valdez. 

Selena Gomez "Love you like a love song" inspired look

Image
Happy Saturday! :)  This is my blog for the Love you like a love song video.  I've put the pictures of the products in order so you can follow the steps. Also please do check my Youtube Video for more information.  of course the first step is to apply foundation. The foundation I used for this look is Ever Bilena's Studio Finish Foundation. This foundation actually works really well for this look since this has full coverage.  Next is concealer. The concealer I'm using which is also from Ever Bilena not just acts as a concealer but also as an eye primer. I'll give you more information about that on another post ok? :)  Since in Selena's video, the main focus of this look is her eye make up, I figured I will just work with 2 colors in which its only 2 shades of purple. The base color is the eyeshadow from ombretto. Yes it is now broken because I accidentally dropped it during a gig :( this is actually my favorite shade of purple. :(  The next color that I
