Weekend at Batangas

It appears that 2017 is shaping up to be the year of wanderlust, we were all over Luzon the past few weeks and we’re up for more travels later this year. So my best friends got married in Ilocos two weeks ago and after the festivities, we decided to drop by Batangas for a sojourn. The… Continue reading

What Came in the Mail: Gold Birkenstock + My Zalora Experience

I do my shopping at any mall nearby but on days when I’m practically bedridden from laziness, I do bits of shopping online. I’ve had great experiences buying stuff online until recently so I am more careful now and I only shop at trusted websites like Sephora. I wanted to get myself a couple of… Continue reading

Since I was the matron of honor, I wasted no time getting shit done 😀 I did the bridal makeup, sorted the flowers, and made everyone’s corsage, lol.

Review: K-Palette 24 Hr Real Lasting Eyeliner
K-Palette is a Japanese beauty brand that specializes in eye products, at least here in the PH. The brand’s eyeliner and eyebrow tattoo are pretty popular among the Japanese and these are the reason why there’s such a clamor for K-Palette everything here in the tropics too. I’m a huge fan of the eyebrow tattoo,… Continue reading

When I started getting into makeup, one of the first items that my sister recommended to me was the Studio Fix powder foundation.

The Honeymooners
Like a proper Asian, I hate tanning and sun exposure, which is ironic considering how much I love going to the beach. Since I work at home, I spend as little time as I could outdoors and as you can imagine, I was blinding white by the time I made my triumphant return to Potipot… Continue reading

Review: Make Up Forever Ultra HD Ultra HD Invisible Cover Foundation

One of the major beauty items that I really spend a lot of money on is the base. The base may include concealers, color correctors, primer, and of course, foundation. Because the climate here in the tropics is always humid, ultra light foundies tend to melt within an hour or two after application and while… Continue reading

Our wedding was pretty simple, the ceremony was a straightforward affair, just the way we like it.

Review: Majolica Majorca Lash King
If there’s one thing I’m most insecure about, it’s my tiny Asian eyes. I wanted to have green eyes with noticeable crease plus lush lashes. Obviously, I didn’t get what I wanted and there lies the problem, hahaha! Being monolidded and having sparse, thin, and stick straight lashes, I never really thought my lashes will ever… Continue reading
