Photoescape Reviews: Glory of New York Lipstick in 682

Image
Happy Tuesday Gorgeous!  As a lipstick hoarder lover, the continuous search for that good quality lipstick is still on my head. Whenever I pass by any make up counter or online store I would always think to mind about what shades I should buy the next time I would buy a lipstick. I still have TONS of unused one and this is one of them - The Glory of New York lipstick I got from Bing of Project Awesome's meet and greet party last year.  I have used this a couple of times since I want to test this out so here goes.

Its Not Goodbye...Only See You Later.

Image
I don't like to say goodbye because it reminds me of how I said it to my dad when he went away.  Goodbyes for me are only appropriate if you are never going to see each other again. Goodbyes are somewhat a hard word for me to say formally. Like what I am going to do.. I am saying goodbye to my job. Its hard because I really do love what I am doing. If you are an Online English teacher, you would know how I feel. I know that sometimes I feel that I hate it but at the end of the day I would be reminded that there was one student out of all of them that made me smile by just saying a simple 'thank you teacher' I never really thought that I would last 3 years in this company. I remember starting from scratch with my knowledge. I would just go with the flow. I didn't really have my own style of teaching, but the longer I was in the company I was able not just be a good teacher but also become a friend o

My First Ever MAC Product!

Happy Friday!  There is always a time for a girl's life that she experiences her 'first'. It could be her first day to school, first date, first time to do things unexpected - anything basically! but for those who have a penchant for make up - like yours truly there will be a first time for sure.  Like my first MAC make up! *fan girl scream* *faint*

Beauty Favorites 2013

Image
I hate procrastinating but I can't help it sometimes. I spent most of my week scouring the internet for some ideas but ended up watching Salo, Frozen, and other films which I slightly regret.  For today's post it would be all about my 2013 beauty product favorites. You might have probably seen the video version on my youtube channel so this is going to be a microscopic look on these pretty babies.  You girls know that I don't wear make up all the time but there are times that I do and when that happens, most of these products are the ones that I reach out to the most. I mainly reach out for these because 1. They do the best job to make me pretty (yes!) and 2. They make my make up application time cut in a fraction. Here are some of my recommended products to try. If you have tried them make sure to leave a comment below on the comment box about your experience with it ayt?

Do beauty bloggers REALLY have to wear make up all the time?

Image
Being a beauty blogger, we are expected to be all primped up and dolled up all through out the day. We are expected to look to the nines like as if we woke up with it.  I can't forget the first time a random girl I just met said to me "If your a beauty blogger why aren't you wearing make up now? " At first I was appalled, but didn't show it since I don't want to offend her too. But personally, I think people are expecting too much from beauty bloggers nowadays. They think that just because we blog about make up, make up how to's and also things related to it mean that we have to look the part as well - I don't think so honey.

Hello lovelies happy Monday!  Monday is the first day of the week so I will be starting it fresh with a review! For some reason I feel so pumped up - don't really know why but I will be making the most out of it. I will be posting more reviews AND make up tutorials soon so make sure to check back here ok?  Since I work as a phone English teacher, yes, there is such a thing,  We are not really required to wear make up on a daily basis since most of my student don't see me. But you still have to look good right? 

Color of the year 2014: Radiant Orchid

Image
Happy Thursday!  Days fly by so fast don't you think? I know how it feels because I feel it too!  Quite honestly I feel excited yet anxious about the end of the month since this would be the last month I would be working for the company I am in. Pretty hard to swallow but I need to move on in my life for better opportunities and adventures.  Now that's settled why don't we talk about the color of the year? Like the flower orchid, this year's color is Radiant Orchid. It is a captivating harmony of the colors fuchsia,Purple and pink undertones.  The color blooms for confidence and magical warmth that intrigues both the eyes and sparks the imagination. Honestly, I like this color since purple is an intriguing color for me. I like the mystery the color gives out yet it could also be fun.  I've already have some tutorials up to be posted on my beauty channel soon so make sure to drop by there. I will be posting them this week and next week as

Birthday Wishlist 2014

Image
Hello again!  I know this post is way overdue but what the hay right? Its still January and I think having a wish list for my 25th birthday isn't really a bad thing to have.  First off I only have one material thing I would like to have this year while the rest are things that I am hoping to achieve maybe on my own this year.  Let's start with the non- material things shall we? 1. I want to attend make up school.  I have actually missed out on this since the slots on the institute I'm attending are full already but I hope that maybe in a couple of months I will be able to enroll again. I wish to attend those high-end schools for make up artistry but given my current situation I think it is way off my budget to attend these. But I am still hoping that someone with a kind heart can help me out with a scholarship perhaps? If they have one... 2. I wish for bigger space at home.  I live in a nice house but because there are lots of people that li

The Christmas season is all about the spirit of giving. And give is what the American Eye Center, the country’s leading eye care center, will do this Yuletide season. I know Christmas is already over but I think Christmas should be an everyday event.

Product Review: iColor Hair Dye Shampoo

Image
Hello lovelies!  Since the start of the year I told myself I will change my looks more and test things since I am not getting any younger so experimenting would definitely be on top of my list.  With that I've actually started with my hair. I have already gone blonde although that was a little hard to maintain since I remember being told to go back after a number of weeks to have my roots done but never seem to do it because  1. The salon I got it done was quite far from my place.  2. Its still expensive 3. It would damage my hair tremendously I still have qualms about getting my hair colored again professionally so I asked my mom if its much better if I color it myself - she said yes but gave me the low down on the things I have to do...remembering all those information was a toughie but I was able to get a simpler solution with it - this hair dye shampoo~  My mom discovered this actually and asked me to try it on my hair since she knows I need to cove

14 Resolutions for 2014

Admit it - you make resolutions every year but fail miserably. I sure do on some parts but I promised myself that this 2014 I will try to do all of the 14 things I want to achieve this year.  From experience, I know that I've set a high expectation on myself when I come up with resolutions so this year I planned just to keep it simple and also plausible since why set high expectations if you can't reach them right?  So here are some reachable resolutions for 2014.  1. Lose at least 60 lbs. Losing weight in really vague so I suggest make it more specific and set a goal weight. Honestly I was able to partly reach that goal but I was 60 lbs short so I would be making that up this 2014.  2. Eat healthier.  Healthy eating isn't really something that I am good at. But I will try more this 2014. If you want to do this as well try to reason with yourself every time you cook something. And also eating healthy is not just a solo journey so ask those around

Happy Friday my lovelies! I am so hyped this 2014 that I actually waited the new year to share this to you girls! I know really bad of me but I think its better :D  As of the moment, I am currently stocking up on palettes and tools I could use on my upcoming make up workshops and I think this one is definitely something I could use since its an all in one palette.  I'm talking about Avon's Holiday Palette!

I know I am being redundant but you know me.  And I just want to greet you my lovelies a very Happy New Year! *confetti* How was your New Year? Was it great? It was my first New Year that we didn't have firecrackers blown to bits this year but that's okay - less casualties the better.   So to start off the year let's do a recap of what happened to me this 2013 shall we?
