Happy Birthday to the Big Guy in My Life

Image
Today is a very special but lonesome day for me since today is my Papa's birthday. Unfortunately he is not with us anymore since he was taken away last 2010 due to complications with his illness. It pains me to think that he is not with us anymore. My memories with my dad is still fresh that even his face is still intact in my brain even though that he is gone for almost 3 years now.  Losing someone very important to you is hard to accept but still life has to go on. I remember just dreading for the days to go on when each holiday would pass without him there. He was supposed to be 65 today. 

How to NOT Look Sick

Image
  I am having second thoughts if Summer has really arrived since its been raining for a couple of days already. And because of that I have been feeling iffy a couple of days ago, thankfully I was able to get rid of the colds already so I can get back to work and also with blogging.  Getting sick doesn't mean that we have to look the part right? That is one thing I don't want to be since being presentable can give you a jumpstart in your day. I've actually started loving putting on make up not because I have to but because I love to.

Hello ladies!  Its been a long time since I posted and FOTD right? Goodness I missed doing these kinds of posts, I will do more for sure! :)  Last Monday I think it was St. Patrick's day. I'm not sure since its not a holiday here in the Philippines nor in Korea but I have been hearing and seeing lots of posts on my SNS that I jumped in as well. I know I get easily swayed! lol

Product Review: Avon Ideal Luminous Foundation

Image
Foundations are one of those things that I really like to make a review on because its quite hard for me to find the shade good for my skin tone.  I have pale skin which is not typical if you are a Filipina, its especially hard to make it look like I didn't have it on. I was actually intrigued at first when I saw this at the latest Avon brochure since its Avon't newest foundation. 

My Make Up Collection: Face Products

Image
Since I started this blog and also doing beauty related videos on my youtube channel and do make up gigs on the side, I have collected a lot of make up which quite honestly I thought was small but when I look at it now its HUGE. I was able to collect these much from my purchases while some are gifts from my friends and family or stuff that I won from online contests and such. I was really surprised because while conceptualizing with this post I thought of just doing one video but when I saw all of my make up I thought to just make them in parts so the video will be short and you won't be confused with all the products I will be featuring.

February 2013 Empties

Image
Happy Monday ladies!  I have been out of the loop for a while now because of some personal issues I need to settle, but don't worry it won't involve me leaving you guise! I just have to settle some plans I'm making about my next out of town trip and I need to make the necessary planning and logistics thing because I want everything to be okay when that day comes. Ugh just talking about it makes me want to cover up and say PLEASE MAKE IT MAY ALREADY!

Lee Hi 'It's Over' Make up Tutorial

Image
Hello loves! Its Saturday! What I love most about Saturdays at home is I can just chill and write articles. I haven't been up to date with posts here which I deeply regret because of my work. I've actually been transferred again to another station which is kinda hard since I have to get myself used to being there. But the good part of getting transferred is I have more privacy now with my new station! :D now onto our post. A couple of days ago I post this look on my youtube beauty channel since I've been loving Lee Hi and I just saw her teaser photo for her latest song 'It's Over'

Scent of the Moment: Victoria Secret in Love to Flirt

Image
Summer is finally here in Manila and I can't wait to go to the beach! I actually have planned 2 trips this April which I am really excited! :D One of the things that I really associate summer is with scents. I have a thing with light sweet fragrance or with ocean fresh scents during summer which I think my current scent has.

February 2013 Favorites

Image
Hello again!  I haven't been updating my favorites in time and it really sucks BIG TIME but I hope you girls understand..  So its not time of the month again for me to share my favorite stuff from last February. Quite honestly I have only been loving the same items from last January but luckily I was able to have other things that I have been loving to share to you all. 

February 2013 Haul

Image
Hello lovelies! I'm really sorry if I haven't blogged this a bit sooner. As of the moment we are still renovating my studio so I've been pretty busy these days. On today's post I will be sharing to you the stuff that I've purchase last February. I didn't actually thought that I will be buying so much stuff last month because I was hoping to do major cosmetic purchases around April or May but..oh well. I did went overboard but I will actually give away some of the products that I bought last month so I feel really good about that. Most of the products that I will be showing in this post will be products that I will do a product review soon which is really exciting since trying out new products are a good thing to do if you are in the beauty blogging industry, because not only will you be trying out new products but also you are sharing your opinion about it.

Product Review: Urban Decay 24/7 waterproof liquid eye liner

Image
Eye liner is one of the things that can really make your look change tremendously. It is also a must have if you like to sport kpop inspired looks in which eye liner is really a must have.  Ever since I got the Urban Decay Book of Shadows palette, I have started using its included eyeliner which is the Urban Decay 24/7 waterproof liquid eyeliner in Perversion.

GlamBox's Air Brush Workshop

Image
Being an aspiring MUA or Make Up Artist, you need to have certain skills to hone to gain more clients in this field, one of them would be you have to be good at airbrush make up. I really need to get an airbrush kit soon so I could use it for my gigs.  And with that, I was really thankful when I got invited to join Glambox's first airbrush workshop that was held at their beauty studio in Makati a couple of weeks ago. Our instructor for the workshop is Ms. Dana Plan. She is really nice and kalog which made the workshop really fun. The first things that were covered is the history and also the benefits of Airbrush make up. There were some make up exercises that was done for us to have an experience with it. I was really amazed since it was said that airbrush is not only used in make up but also in nail art cool right?  Here are some pictures of the Glambox studio and also from our workshop. Other pictures will be posted on my facebook page.

Glam Up Mermaid Look

Image
I have always loves the little mermaid, but I can't seem to think of myself as Ariel. I have a very wild imagination and I have actually made my own mermaid. My mermaid would have a bluish green fish tail. Her hair would be blonde that has some blue high lights. I was planning on asking my brother to draw her but he has been busy also so I wasn't able to do it. If ever my brother is free I will ask him to draw it and I will post it on my facebook page for sure. 

Product Review: Maybelline Clear Smooth BB stick

Image
Hello ladies! Happy Thursday! My goodness its already Thursday again.. I have a lot of posts to share to you girls but since internet at home is not cooperating that well I have to settle blogging at work for now. Thank goodness our company allows me to do my pride and joy (you read that right!).  On today's post I will be sharing to you my review about my latest BB cream: Maybelline's BB stick!  If you remember I also did a review on the first Maybelline BB cream that they offered. That BB cream was a little too oily for my skin since it contains glycerine and other substances that can make my skin produce more oil. I think other users of that BB cream had forwarded it to the company that the company made a separate one for those with combination- oily skin.  without flash I was really thankful with that because I do love their BB cream because the shade is really close to my pale skin. Sometimes having pale skin is a bad thing because its a little drain

Product Review: Urban Decay Primer Potion

Image
Hello ladies! Happy Tuesday!  On today's post I will be making a review about a primer that I have been using for some time now and it is the Urban Decay Primer Potion! (sfx: woot woot!) Make up primers are basically products that can make your make up last longer and also make the colors vibrant or make the face less oily. If you have oily skin, it is really best to invest in a good face and eye primer to let your make up last longer through the day with minimal touch ups. If you   I have been hearing a lot of buzz about this product ever since I started watching tutorials on youtube. I admit that I was really really curious about this but can't seem to get my hands into one because there is no Urban Decay outlet here in the Philippines. You can purchase this online like on Digitaltrancase's online store.  But due to having shortage of funds and also I don't have a lot of time browsing to get the best deal, I didn't get to buy this product. I

Product Feature: Sophie Paris's Kluge Compact Powder

Image
Most girls have a penchant for anything cute - Don't deny it! I have been caught with this crime so many times that I can say its quite an impulse to buy something just because its cute. And this is one of those items I got from Sophie Paris a couple of months back.

Hey Ladies! How has everybody been?

I will try to post as soon as I can for sure.  As promised, today's post is about the Kpop group called the 'Beast' because of their bodies which doesn't really fall in the typical boy group category of Kpop - 2PM!!
