MAC Illustrated Face Kit
I pre-ordered the MAC x Rebecca Moses Illustrated Face Kit in brown last month via French Macaroons. Yes, my love for FM has been well-documented here 🙂 The pre-ordering site allows me to participate in highly-anticipated sales from any of the US’ biggest cosmetics stores and get access on great stuff that are not sold… Continue reading

Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate
Been road testing Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate (MRC) for the past two weeks and so far, results have been very promising. For one thing, I wake to indescribably soft, glowing skin. It’s just a joy waking up to plump, luminous skin! Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate is a combination of different essential oils working together to… Continue reading

A Tutorial: Depotting The Smashbox Studio Pop Ultimate Palette
The first high-end makeup palette I bought was the Smashbox Studio Pop Ultimate Palette. It’s a holiday palette with 48 eyeshadows (?), blushes, highlighter, cream eyeliner, glosses and a bronzer thrown in for good measure. Quality-wise, this is better than Urban Decay, I kid you not. Read the reviews from Makeup Alley and other beauty… Continue reading

Breaking Out
My skin, that is. A couple of blogs ago, I said I am going to give the Nivea Smoothy cream a try. Which I did and have for two weeks or so. Unfortunately, testing came at a time when I’m having one of those nasty hormonal thing going on my skin and I’m afraid the… Continue reading

St. Ives Green Tea Scrub
For me, to achieve smooth, clear skin, you should never skip exfoliation. When I was 17 or 18, I started using facial scrubs because I had a bad case of blackheads on the nose area, which was so gross. I believe I used St.Ives classic apricot scrub and I have tried some of the most… Continue reading

Nivea Smoothy Cream
If you’re like me who appreciates great finds at affordable prices then you must be kuripot, hahahah! For me, nighttime moisturizing is a must especially since my skin is on the dry side and needs ample moisture. Unfortunately, high end creams do cost more than your average daytime creams, some fetching as much as 4k… Continue reading

So the first batch of brushes, I got from The Body Shop. I wasn’t really planning on getting these brushes but since TBS is celebrating their 17th… Continue reading

Color Me Impressed
Really starting to get into makeup, eye-makeup in particular. Unfortunately, I’m still learning how to apply ’em, hahaha! I had my heart set on a cool Smashbox eyeshadow palette but I decided to buy me a Coastal Scents palette first for practice. Then if I improve, that’s the time I’d buy the expensive ones, teehee.… Continue reading

Hair History
Just had a major hair cut. It’s not my old Tina look circa 2007, more of my 2004 hair cut. Not a lot of people know why I had such a short haircut then. Can you believe it has something to do with my weight? *Cue the music* I was super fat then, like 145… Continue reading
