An Eyebrow Pencil I Love Below P150 ($3)

Perfect Everyday Chanel Blush

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.

Nars Laguna vs. Benefit Hoola

It’s two hours past midnight and Bentley is curled up in a ball sleeping right beside me (loudly if I may add, who knew a dog as small as him could snore so loudly). Meanwhile, I'm glued to my laptop ready to finish this entry before the sun is up.

Natural "No Makeup" Look

mini blog makeover

Here I go again guys, I changed the banners, the add-ons, and the colors (more peachy, less pink) on my blog... for the millionth time. Okay exaggerating, although my boyfriend would probably nod his head to that statement, since all I did was beg him in the middle of his work to encode my designs. Thank goodness he's patient and didn't hold my blog's password ransom till I promise to leave him alone.

Top 10 • Half Year Favorites

Remember when I used to blog my monthly favorites on a regular basis? It was my way of coming out of my big-shell-of-insecurity by posting pictures of myself (thanks for tolerating them) I haven't done one in awhile because there are months that I don't have any products I love enough to share with you.

Burberry Light Glow Blush in Peony

Hi girls! I am currently on a beauty spending ban, so for extra precautions I'm avoiding all blogs that have reviews on the new MAC Alluring Aquatic Collection. MUST—STAY—STRONG and must stop focusing on these things I want to buy. So instead I'm going writing about things I've had for awhile now — the Burberry Light Glow Blush in Peony.

Top 2 Concealers • High End & Drugstore

I finally get to blog and read blogs again after what feels like FOREVER. I missed it :) and today I'm back bearing good recos for you guys. I needed (still do) a really good product I can count on to hide my deepest darkest secrets — pimples, scars, and my horrendous dark under eye circles. So I've been trying different concealers for awhile now, and these are the best ones I've used so far...

My Spring Favorites • Top Five

We don't have Spring in my country. Here, we only have two options — sunny or sunny—er — lol okay technically it's sunny or rainy, but most of the time it feels like it's the former. Our weather is pretty much bipolar so bear with me as I embrace our non-existent spring season. 

Mac Viva Glam I Lipstick

Just a quick warning, you may will find this review cheesy.  Mac Viva Glam I is the first red lipstick I've ever owned. And for a girl who swore that she could never wear such a bold color, it can be . . . life changing ― tada! First sign of cheeziness right there. 

Urban Decay Naked 3 Eyeshadow Palette

It's officially spring inside my make up train case! And it's all thanks to the latest addition to my makeup family, the Naked 3 Palette by Urban Decay. You must be eager to know if it really lives up to the hype, so I'm going to just skip blabbering and reveal to you the HITS and MISSES of this palette.

January Favorites ♥

These are the things I've been loving since January. I apologize in advance for the lack of Beauty products on this post. I've been on a no-make-up-product shopping restriction since December, and I was doing okay... until a few days ago when I relapsed and bought some Sleek blushes online. Cause of relapse? Diana's recent review on the newly released Sleek blushes :)

The Cream Factory • Goat's Milk Bath Creams

It's been a rough week for me so far. I'm stressed more than usual and my emotions are out of control. How do you girls deal with bad days like these? I found myself grabbing for things that could take any burden off my shoulders - things like... french fries and chocolate. When I'm done trying to eat my stress away, which by the way does not work all the time, I treat myself to a nice relaxing shower. And ladies, these are the bath creams I've been using lately.

Most Loved Beauty Products Of 2013

On the first day of 2014 I logged onto my regular bloglovin reads and guess what I saw? Millions of beauty bloggers listing their best product picks for 2013. It's like watching the Miss Universe Pageant, only instead of beautiful ladies, it's all about makeup and skincare products. It gives you a nice view of the Best of the Best, which is very useful information for all of us. And so I've decided to contribute, jump on the bandwagon, and play my own little role of sharing my own list with you.

Pretty Little Things : September Favorites

Shayne Naidas

I have got to learn how to apply red lipsticks perfectly haha, or at least purchase a red lip liner immediately. Any suggestions of good brands I should try? :) It is already October and I am very excited to share with you some DIY entries I prepared for Halloween. Even though this holiday frightens the life out of me, I still like it because it is one day that when we can all play dress up in costumes together. But before getting into the Halloween mood, let me show you the things I that I have been loving for the month of September. I knew I was getting a couple of gift boxes last month so I told myself not buy anything. Well that didn't go too well :)
