June 2012 Favorites

Image
Hello ladies! On today's post it will be about June 2012 favorites! Yey! It is already July and I can't believe it. I only had a small amount of favorites since I have been rotating using all my make up. In terms of skin care and also body care its pretty much the same. Quite honestly I'm the type of girl that sticks by using the same body wash up until it ran out. I simply don't like to hoard those stuff since there is only little space in my vanity :( Well lets start this blog shall we? I'll start first with the non-make up/skincare/body care products. As of the moment I have been obsessed with Korean food and I just found this through my office mate. I have been loving vietnamese rice paper sauce and rice paper. Apparently this is called won ssam. I don't know if this is legit but if its spicy I'm all over it. I don't care if my nose runs or I turn crimson red but if its spicy I will eat it. I've also been loving fermented soy bea

Contemplate triathlons. Then do everything all over again. Most of these activities are popping up in an increasing number of our to-do lists, resolutions, and also social media profiles.

How To: Dress up for Your Body Shape

Image
Hello ladies!  Most people that know me personally know that I don't dress up much. Not that I don't have any style in my body but simply I don't give a lot of attention in that area, but when I do you better watch out LOL.  But kidding aside dressing up is something other girls really give a big deal since it can really show how much you want to stand out without doing too much.  I will be telling you on how to dress up for your body shape.

Wedding Make up Preparations

Image
This coming October my brother is getting married to his fiance and she asked me if I can do the make up for the brides maids which I am part of and also my mom's make up.  I am quite nervous since honestly speaking I am not an expert make up artist. I think she just saw my youtube videos and she had seen me with full make up on that's why she trusts me to much. I am honored and thankful that she trusted me in doing this.  Although the wedding is still in October I am getting inspiration in making up looks for me, my mom and the bridesmaids. Its so nerve racking since I need to make the look similar to the motif of the wedding. Here are some of the options I've found so far.  I like this look since its quite colorful and its good to do on fair skin. But the color is not fitted with the color motif  >.< I know what you're thinking, I am only supposed to do the make up for the bridesmaid not the bride. I'm just going to get inspirati

Product Review: Avon's Simply Pretty Transforming Liquid Eyeliner

Image
Hey Ladies!  If you have noticed, this week is full of product reviews so if you have any products you want me to try like skin care or make up stuff please comment below so I can list them down.  For today's review its going to be for the Avon's Simply Pretty Transforming Liquid Eyeliner.  I was initially puzzled why it is called as such since it just looks like an ordinary liquid liner. The thing is this liquid liner can actually be in different colors of your peg so for girls who likes to experiment ala Lady Gaga with your make up you can definitely try this.

A Great Gift for the Runner Dads out there

Image
This is something for dads who are always on the run...well into running. Is your dad always up for a challenge? trying to outlast or outrun what he sees as his rival? It may not necessarily be another person; it could be just himself. Dads who are fond of joining marathons and even triathlons definitely belong in this category, because they keep at it for the simple reason that they always want to be at their best - especially when they are running. With his ultra-competitive nature, it can be a little tricky to get him something that he would love on Father’s Day. It's a no no to get this dad a tie, handkerchief, polo shirts or a wallet – simply because he isn’t like any other dad.

Healthy Options for a Father's day gift

Hello ladies! Before I begin this post I would just like to greet all the dads a happy father's day! And since its that time of the year again to show how extra special they are to us. And what a better way to do that but buy him a special gift for his day!

Haters Gon' Hate More - I.DON'T.CARE

Image
The title may seem so bitter and full of spite but that is just how I feel about haters...sometimes. If you are one of my subbies on my youtube channel you will know that I've had a fair share of videos responding to these hateful comments from some one who I don't know why hates my videos. This video was actually sent to me by my friend Marge A.k.A. Kikaytrekkie a couple of days ago and lucky enough I was able to watch it at home last night. This is my respond to you dear haters somewhere in the deep parallels of the internet.

  What do you do if 30 of the sexiest and prettiest celebrities and 70 of the sexiest models swarm over you? Would it be a good or bad thing? I think it would be a good thing for guys for sure!  That is what I saw at the Axe Anarchy Raid last June 9 in Eastwood Mall when 30 of the sexiest and prettiest celebrities PLUS 70 models ran to search 100 lucky men to win one million pesos. Each.  Yup you read it right, the lucky guy and girl will receive one million pesos each as the prize, its the fastest and sexiest way to win a million.

Make up 101: Make up Tools

Image
In make up it is really important to have the proper tools in applying make up because one thing I know is blending is key to getting the perfect make up look.   Besides from our hands, make up tools such as sponge tip applicators, sponges and also brushes holds the key to getting that look all together.

My very first out of the country package has arrived!

Image
Hey ladies!  Last June 7 my mom gave me this paper when I just woke up. I was a bit shocked since its a notice from the post office. I was expecting a parcel from a friend in youtube and also from another one but I did not expect that it would be that quick.  I was also shocked since I've heard stories about paying over the said amount noted on the notice you got and other stuff. I was really nervous since I don't have a lot of money with me so I was hoping that it wouldn't cost me an arm or a leg or both to pay for it. Thankfully it didn't and also the post office personnel didn't bother to open my package there since it was really small.

Happy Friday!  Every night after I walk Georgia, I would either go online to check posts/answer emails/tweet or RT/blog/Facebook and watch youtube, but there are days that I prefer to just watch TV and I mostly watch programs from TVn which is a Korean cable station.

Hello ladies! Happy Monday!  I went all out last May with purchasing some items. I kinda like it but hate it also since I am intending on saving up some money... oh well but let's get started shall we?  1. Lippies!  I bought four lippies which are: Ever Bilena Lipstick in Sunshine -- Nude / Brown Shade  Price: 160PHP (approx 3.67USD) Kozhize Lipstick in Dazzling Peach -- Peach Shade Price: 160PHP (approx 3.67USD) Victoria Secret Lipstick in B03 and B06 -- B03 has a baby pink with a little frost shade while B06 has a peach - salmon like color.  Price: 100PHP/each (approx 2.29USD/each) I know I have tons of lippies in my collection but I just can't help it :D these are my addictions if you can say. 2. Face Masks + Face powder Since Avon had a sale...well they always do but they had a sale on their face masks which got me interested.  And since I haven't had a face mask in a while I bought this two to try out.  A
