A Note of Decorum at Events

Image
I have started attending events about two or three years ago. Mind you my first event was actually a beauty party. And from then on I attended blogger events for the fun of it.  You can say I am a 'veteran' per say but not really because of my weekday work schedule. But I have still been asked about certain things like what do you do on events and how do you act in it? There are different kinds of events and there is no specific guideline because you just have to go with the flow. But its still best to have some key pointers in attending events - just in case. 

Organizational tips for your vanity/make up area

Image
Please don't mind the non make up related products in the picture. I am a self confessed organized mess.  What I mean by that is sometimes I am fine with having my make up stuff all over my vanity area. Believe me I have a lot of products in my vanity. I have mostly all of the stuff you need from hair to body to the face even for taking care of your feet! I have a lot of stuff that I have in my vanity which gives me the problem of how to store them properly. I'm generally not an OC person when it comes to having my stuff everywhere but there are those times that you just really get the urge to clean up just because.  I know you do so don't deny!  So one weekend I decided to clean up my vanity area just to settle everything I have in my vanity area. If you are organizing your stuff as well here are some tips you can do to less or at least make your vanity/make up area more pleasing to the eye.

I have been using the Ever Bilena Advanced concealer for a while now and I've noticed that I am running low on it already. I was initially going to buy a new one but I saw that there is still some product in the tube so I looked for a way to get those.

Series: Back to School Tips

Image
Hearing the term "back to school" makes me look back on my younger years. I'm not that old okay? But I just missed how simple I was back then. What I mean by simple is not really wearing much make up and doesn't have to care about a lot like bills, kids (my nephew and nieces) and earning money for my 3 angels. *Sigh*   Back then I would just remember what time is my class, not be late for class, do my assignments and of course pass that subject one way or another hehe!

Tips for Finding the Right Perfume.

Image
Buying a perfume is something that I usually get giddy next to all things girly. Buying the right perfume is not just choosing the packaging or who the endorser is; it actually takes more than that. Here are some tips I can give you for you to choose the right perfume for you. 1. Consider when you are going to use it. Before buying a perfume, imagine yourself wearing it on a certain occasion; let's say a posh dinner party or just a week end escape at the beach. Usually light scents are best for everyday use while sweeter heavier scents are more for special occasions. 2. Consider the weather. What I mean by weather is when you are going to use it. If you are going to use your sweet musk perfume out on the beach, your mood might swing to another level. Light scents tend to be better during summer while sweet, lush scents are better when it is colder. 3. Trust your instinct. Before you buy that bottle of perfume with Britney, Christina or whoever it is take a moment to thi...

MULTIPLY REPOST! -- 6 ways for FAB skin--

Here is another of my Re-posts from my multiply account (www.alicemate.multiply.com) Hope you enjoy it and have a great Sunday! Our skin is the biggest organ we have to take care because if others see our skin uneven, blotchy or worse - breaking out it will be a statement they will remember forever. Here are six thing I think can help us take care of our skin better. 1. Have a big or small O a day Its not what you think it is okay? have a big or small Orange a day. There is a saying an apple a day keeps the doctor away right? Well for me it would be an orange a day keeps the wrinkles away...longer. Because higher intake of Vitamin C actually reduces wrinkles and dryness due to aging later in our life. Recommended dosage of Vitamin C is 2 big oranges or 4 small oranges for Adults or if you like you can try other citrus fruits. Tomato also has a high percentage of Vit. C and lycopene - both great for the health and for the skin. 2. Eat some colors for your skin I have heard this se...

A Girl's Essential on Shoes

Image
I knew ever since I was young that besides from diamonds, shoes are a girl's bestfriend. A pair of shoes might make (or break) one's outfit. So having at least the essentials will help you go through your day with a smile. 1. Black Pumps with Low heel. This pair can be used either in a corporate office outfit or even a simple night out outfit to give it that "chic" look. And being a low heel gives you the advantage of not having to suffer after that presentation at the board room. 2. Neutral Colored Heels In choosing neutral colored heels, go for beige. Beige heels gives an illusion of longer legs. Nothing else to say about that. 3. Semi Casual Flats. This one is my favorite. This can be a pair of ballet flats paired with jeans and a dressy top and you are good to go. Semi Casual Flats gives out a very nice feel to a simple outfit. 4. Dressy Black heels. These pair is great with a cocktail dress for a night event your heading out to. You can also pair this up with a ...

MULTIPLY REPOST: Weird Beauty Tips that actually work!

Image
ANOTHER RE-POST! ^_^ These were some of the tips and tricks I learned from my mom, from Cosmo and among other :) *** Try shaving your legs with conditioner instead of soap or shaving cream. I've done this myself, and it actually works really well! They say that the conditioner helps soften the leg hair so it's easier to shave off -- which is true . *** Use an exfoliating facial scrub on your underarms to help your pits look soft and pretty. facial scrubs are gentler than body scrubs. This is a good one if you like wearing sleeveless shirts! *** Left with streaks after you use a self-tanner? oh dear! Put a little baking soda on a loofah and give yourself an all over scrub. It'll buff away the streaks and leave you with soft skin! *** Spritz your favorite scent onto your hairbrush before you brush your hair. You'll smell good all day -- just one spritz is plenty. I like this idea a lot and have used this one on many occasions.. *** The next time you break a nail, p...
