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

Budget Beauty: Maybelline Hypercurl Mascara

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.

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.

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.

Charm Brush Set Review • A Year After

my stormy week

How's everyone? To those who experienced the great Glenda storm with me, I hope you're well and safe. I was writing "tips for blog photos" when it hit my city big time. Trees fell, billboards flew, and a huge post landed on top of our car knocking all electricity and internet down for four long days. Crazy right? It felt like at any minute a gang of zombies would appear on the streets.

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...
