  • Clinique 3-Step System

    Clinique 3-Step System

    I developed the hobby of buying loads of eyeshadow palette in the recent months that I kinda forgot to adjust my skin care regimen to my newfound love, putting on makeup. I thought I was doing enough to take care of my skin but I failed at the most basic of skin care, proper cleansing.… Continue reading

  • What Came In The Mail: Urban Decay Vice 2

    What Came In The Mail: Urban Decay Vice 2

    I basically tripped all over myself when a package arrived from Stuff in Style. I am absolutely addicted to online shopping and my poison is beauty items. If you are looking for trusted online stores, I would recommend three of my favorites: Stuff in Style French Macaroons House of Flair The sellers are a joy… Continue reading

For her, it’s the Urban Decay Shattered Face Case 🙂   It has everything for the eyes, the face and the lips in one nifty compact!   And for moi, it’s the Urban Decay Vice 2! It’s a sexy Holiday release with 20 fabulous… Continue reading

  • Review: Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse Foundation

    Review: Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse Foundation

    I am a long-time Maybelline lover because of their watershine lipstick range. I stuck to a single shade, which was Candy Apple Red for years on end even though Maybelline introduced different iteration of the watershine range. A little back story, I just got back here in Tarlac and since I am mostly based in… Continue reading

  • Review: ZA Total Hydration Dewy Moisturizer

    Review: ZA Total Hydration Dewy Moisturizer

    Okay, so one of the cool finds I have with my last drugstore haul was the ZA Total Hydration Dewy Moisturizer. I got it because I was meaning to find an affordable moisturizer before I switch to a high-end face cream. The ZA Total Hydration Dewy Moisturizer is a water-based moisturizer. The formula is non-irritating and… Continue reading

  • Review: Snoe It's Oat-k, It's Alright Foaming Cleansing Oil

    Review: Snoe It's Oat-k, It's Alright Foaming Cleansing Oil

    Snoe is a PH-made skin care and cosmetics brand. I’ve been a fan of Snoe after I got one of their much lauded beauty bar and the calamansi-based face mask last year. I gotta say, the brand definitely came a long way from being a barely-noticeable boutique into this really popular cosmetics and skin care brands… Continue reading

  • Essence Long Lasting Eye Pencil

    Essence Long Lasting Eye Pencil

    Yeah, I know I said I won’t be posting any beauty-related stuff anytime soon but I was so pleased with last night’s drugstore haul that I just want to spread the word about it. So, I was bored out of my mind yesterday so I decided to surprise the boyf with a new backpack (his… Continue reading

    Rambling

    I’m getting fat and all the raiding the fridge and eating at spontaneous times sure ain’t helping, hahahah! So the boyfriend and I dragged our asses to the local boxing studio and started working out. My oh my. Am I out of shape or WHAT. Again, too bad I have no pictures. I got a… Continue reading

  • (In)Decision, (In)Decision

    (In)Decision, (In)Decision

    So with my master plan in full swing, I’m praying hard that I’ll get what I finally dream of, a space all my own. Meanwhile, I’m busy between work and anticipating the things that are about to come in the coming months ahead. First stop, I picked a gift for my mom. You know, my… Continue reading

  • Another Day, Another Look-See

    Another Day, Another Look-See

    So yesterday was the date with an Amaia broker. For those who are unfamiliar, it’s an Ayala-backed condominium complex in Pasig. After the look-see with the Capri Oasis rep, I’m sorta disheartened about meeting the Amaia rep because I somehow had a feeling I won’t like the place or the neighborhood. And I am rarely… Continue reading
