Candle Lady and a Giveaway!

Most scented candles give me a hell of a headache. Like for example, no matter how much i love Mahogany Teakwood (a candle that smells like the abs of an ambercombie model) it still gets me dizzy whenever it's lit up in my room. And because my nose is too damn picky, I had to buy lots of Bath and Body Works candles just to handpick those i love —  that also doesn't make me wanna dunk my nose into a bowl full of coffee seeds.

How Good Are The MAC Makeup Palettes?

An Eyebrow Pencil I Love Below P150 ($3)

Perfect Everyday Chanel Blush

Maybelline Gift Bags Up For Grabs

Budget Beauty: Maybelline Hypercurl Mascara

Bronze Smokey Eyes & Bold Lashes

I'm a little embarassed to admit this to you cause I know how eyebrow raising they can be, but I cant help it... Guys I secretly like watching the Kardashian show. I want to say it's only because of the Kardashian / Jenner makeup and fashion pegs — but that was only true at the beginning. And now I'm pretty much invested on what's going on with Kendall, who by the way is rarely on the show lately (please send help).

Mascara Tips & Tricks

I've always wanted to share a few mascara tips here. A huge part of it might have been cause I wanted a photo with this pearl eyelash curler I got as gift. Isn't it pretty? My bf's mom visited Sephora in Singapore and nicely bought it for me. She said the golden curler reminded her of my blog, which I'm glad it did :)

Makeup Routine • Things We Usually Skip But Shouldn't

Things in our makeup routine that we usually skip but shouldn't — otherwise known as stuff i do out of laziness... or stuff i do when my day is hectic and I only have a few hours left to cross things off my list before a deadline. Bracing myself cause that is how June is for me. Even my usually relaxed blog is going to have some extra excitement this month cause I'll be working with Maybelline and talk to you about my thoughts on some of the products they sent over for review.

Unwrapping These Beauty Favorites • First Impressions

Some of you may have noticed by now that I enjoy sending out special gift boxes a lot to the point that the words "blogger gift swap" now sound redundant in my blog. Lol! Well guys, I hope you're not tired of these just yet cause here's Diana and I with yet another swap. She handpicked all these gifts from my uber long shopping wishlist, so I kind of already knew that it was going to be one of those overly excited (and loud) rave moments.

MAC Mehr Lipstick "Kylie Jenner Makeup Look"

Not gonna lie, the first time I saw a picture of Kylie with her suddenly-fuller lips, I didn't like it very much. I thought she was prettier before then. Plus, she's too young to have them surgically done — if she did. People say she could also be just overdrawing her lips with a lip pencil. Do you guys believe that?

Makeup Swap With Miss Citron Guavaberry

Guys meet Vanessa of Citron and Guavaberry — a.k.a. miss congeniality, creative photographer of the year, and the funniest #bblogger ever. Seriously tho, if beauty bloggers had Grammys she'd win an award. She's one of the first bloggers I've grown to be friends with here, and her blog is something you wouldn't want to miss out on. So if you haven't yet, hop on over to C&G after I show you some of the makeup goodies she sent me last year.

Fluff By Sumwear Co. Brush Egg • Other Things I Use To Clean My Brushes

I wish you all a blessed new year — full of makeup, chocolates, and Rebecca Minkoff bags guys. Have you seen the black, rose gold Mini Mac purse? — It — is — beauuutiful. Anyway, I wanted to show you my 2014 favorites today, but I'm stuck on narrowing them down still, so in the meantime... hello, my name is Shayne and my New Year's resolution is to clean my brushes more often this year.

Last Beauty Haul Of The Year

How's everyone? I really... really missed being here with you all (extra misses for those who's blogs I follow — you know who you are). This is probably the longest break I've had from blogging. Long story short, my doctors discovered some problems in my body and I didn't take the news so well, hence the blogging hiatus.

Halloween Cat • Updates • Some Questions

Hi guys! So I've been dragging my lazy ass to the gym lately. My body is still adjusting to it, which is why I had little time to go online. I'm either at the gym trying not to faint while lifting very beginner level weights... or I'm at my bed dead tired trying not to laugh at my boyfriend's jokes cause my abs belly hurts like hell when I do.

Argent Makeup Brushes

Hello! Yep, here I am again with another post on makeup brushes. I promise you this is going to be the last one for the month ;) Whenever I receive products for review (which tbh really doesn't happen a lot), I get a little anxious because if it isn't something I'd like to recommend it usually doesn't get published ― and that makes me feel uneasy, not to mention might make me seem like a big snob.

Tools Of The Trade • Zoeva Luxe Complete Brush Set

Hello hello! I feel like I haven't written anything for centuries. I just spent hours mind blank in front of my laptop, trying to come up with a decent introduction lol. Anyway, how has everyone been doing?

Beauty On A Budget • Sleek Blushes

Guys did you notice the new "related posts" widget floating at the end of each post? It's the most unreliable thing ever lol. I rearranged my tags so I could share with you other similar entries that you may find helpful or interesting, but somehow it keeps suggesting the actual post itself! It doesn't seem to suggest other posts accordingly. I'll find a way to fix this tho, hopefully soon!

The Hourglass Palette • Is It Really Worth It?

I've always had my eyes set on this palette since it first came out. But I wanted to make sure first that I was buying it for the right reasons, by that I mean not just because the packaging is shiny (it's my weak spot)  so I took my time review hopping and debating whether it's really worth spending on or not.

The First Makeup Products I Ever Bought

Hi guys! Let me start by saying that this entry is rather a semi-useless post in a sense that the products I'm about to mention are ancient history (a.k.a. they no longer exist). So there will be no lengthy reviews or recommendations. Just some good ol fashion sharing of things that made an impact on my interest in beauty products.
