  • Bath and Body Works' On SALE! What Did You Get?

    Bath and Body Works is one of those amazing companies that I wish would cater to the PH market. Unfortunately, we don’t have B&BW here in the tropics. And I think that’s unfair because if anything, we’re the ones who need the products the most. Let’s face it, we have crazy humid weather all day,… Continue reading

  • Review: Happy Skin Shut Up and Kiss Me Beauty in Bloom Lipstick

    The title was a mouthful, wasn’t it? Try saying it five times in a row! I have read so many raves about Happy Skin’s Shut Up and Kiss Me lipstick range that’s why I finally picked up one of their limited releases to try. I am pretty late to the party though I can see… Continue reading

  • Review: Tony Moly Pure Eco Snail Moisture Gel

    Review: Tony Moly Pure Eco Snail Moisture Gel

    I’m back with yet another review, this time a find from Tony Moly. Tony Moly is a Korean beauty brand that specializes in skincare. However, they do have an extensive makeup line too. I came across the Pure Eco Snail Moisture gel when I was at Megamall’s beauty department, getting another moisturizer from another brand.… Continue reading

  • When Well-Loved Beauty Products Get Re-Formulated

    When Well-Loved Beauty Products Get Re-Formulated

    Do you hate it when a well-loved, familiar beauty product of any kind gets re-formulated? I don’t have much experience with this to be honest. But I recently repurchased two bottles of Snoe’s It’s Oat-K, It’s Alright foaming cleansing oil and noticed that the normally cloudy-looking liquid is now clear. I thought nothing of it… Continue reading

  • Review: Maybelline Color Show Lipstick

    Review: Maybelline Color Show Lipstick

    I wish I could say I have tons of MAC or YSL lipsticks. But I don’t. I’m completely okay with el cheapo drugstore lippies. Hey, you’re talking to the same girl who became an Avon lady because girlfriend wants access to 25% members-only discount. Yep, I actually went that road. My sister collects MAC lippies… Continue reading

  • Waki Week 2015

    Each year, I take my little brother to the city for a little sight-seeing. The boy is based here in our small town so a change of scenery is always exciting to him. We only had five days to stick to our itinerary (which includes going to an art museum and watching PBA courtside). Continue reading

  • Redecorating: What's Keeping Me Busy

    Remember when I started redecorating my room and developed a small home office too? Something that I’ve been working on the past few weeks, I started re-decorating the living room. I’m working on a color that I don’t like, purple. My sister chose this color, I would’ve gone with medium peach and yellow maybe? I… Continue reading

  • What Came in The Mail: Xiaomi 16000 maH Powerbank

    What Came in The Mail: Xiaomi 16000 maH Powerbank

    I’m not the type who uses her phone until it runs out of juice. I’m not really into games or any other activities that drain my phone’s battery. But after the boyf got his own power bank, he suggested I get one as well because of the erratic power outage in my provincial home. I really… Continue reading

  • Kate Spade Carmen for Mom :)

    Kate Spade Carmen for Mom :)

    Shh… got a cool bag from Kate Spade for my mom this Mother’s Day 🙂 It’s the Nylon Carmen in black (obvs). I think this makes an excellent everyday bag, no?   To be honest, this bag is so nice I wanna keep it for myself, hahahaah! Continue reading

  • Summer Makeup El Nino Style

    Summer’s in full swing here in the tropics. And it’s especially scorching this year with El Nino and all FML. Time and again, I have expressed my disdain for sunny weather. I like sunny weather don’t get me wrong. But if it’s 39 degrees and it’s humid as fuck, everything’s sticky and I just can’t… Continue reading
