i know i've been gone for quite a while...but since i promised to update you about everything that happened to me, let me give you a peek of the "loots" i was able to acquire for the past month. but nope, i didn't go shopping like a mad woman...some of these are gifts, and some i got for such a great deal: 131 brush, eyeshadow palette in Notoriety, e/s in Ego, eyeliner in Orange (from mom ) Infallible lipstick in Rose Tattoo and Elianto cream concealer (still from mom ) gifts from a dear friend, Paula (thanks girl!) Prestige eyeliner, Mod false lashes items i got for 50-70% discount during the L'oreal sale and yep, i haven't been shopping for a while now. i need to save..and besides, it doesn't feel right to splurge on things such as these at these times.

to all those who are in the Philippines, where were you when the typhoon struck our country? i got lucky that i was out of town for a gig, or else i'd be at home, crying over our car drenched in a waist-deep floodwater. To think that i was having second thoughts of going to that out-of-town gig...but despite of the bad weather, and still hesitant, i went there with my partners. we were actually complaining during the entire trip about how bad the weather is and even planned on going back to the city right after the gig to do something else. but my car got stuck in the mud and we had a hard time getting it out of it, til we decided to just stay for the night. and then we were able to watch the tv bout how bad the flood is...we were shocked. i called the guard of the place where I'm living and they did ask me not to go home because of the waist-deep flood. i almost cried out of shock. family and friends started calling and texting me asking where i am, for they knew that m...

remember my lemming on the Bobbi Bright Eyes palette? an angel might have heard me and asked my dear ate Gracie to give it to me...yey! here's my first attempt to do an eotd using the palette...and of course, it won't stop here. and yes, it might be quite late but i'd still do a review on it soon :) PAC brow kit UDPP Bobbi Bright Eyes palette Maybelline Cat Eyes mascara Prestige Total Intensity Eyeliner in Bold Brown yay...see my cheeks? they have grown big, no? LOL my initial say on this palette? hmmm, it's hard to blend! but i am loving the colors so i'm not giving up on it yet...i'll try to do more looks and let's see. tata!

Professional Makeup Base (GREEN) Oil-free, non-sticky makeup base helps skin banish unwanted shine for fresh makeup. Green neutralizes redness and evens out skin tone. Php375 for a 40ml tube (forgot the exact price, feel free to correct me in case i'm wrong) I bought a couple of green correctors before (powder and liquid types) but never really liked it. It's either i cake like crazy afterwards or i get a hard time trying not to look like a green monster after applying it. So when i really started to use primers, i'd prefer those clear ones. And in case i would want to cover any signs of redness, i just use concealers. But of course, i really need to neutralize the redness first, right? So, this product is really heaven-sent :) what i like: no funky smell no allergic reactions. been using this almost everyday and i don't get any itchiness or whatsoever gives a dewy finish...not too shiny, not too matte really neutralizes the redness so you'll have a brighter f...

i know i've been MIA for quite some time now...i do hope you understand though. i'll be back to my normal blogging activity soon :) so what's new with me? well, i have a new job and i started just this week. i am thankful that i was able to get this job and hopefully i get settled in a few more days. and another thing... this: :) more pics soon...

to our dearest SHEN, (shensaddiction.com) enjoy your big day sis...i hope to see you soon, let's have a post-bday celebration of your birthday and my...ehem ehem. =) miss you, sis! muaaaaaah !

hiyee...i'm glad that i was finally able to play with makeup once again. though this time, it's different from my previous sessions. if the previous ones have been inspirations from a MAC collection or something cutesy, this one would be about the emotional turmoil i've been thru for the past weeks. i was feeling angry and it's only hate that i can feel during those times. i wanted to take the negative vibes off my chest so i decided to express what i feel thru makeup...hence the dark (and emo-like) outcome. but don't worry ladies, the hatred i felt is all gone now. i'm back to my old self again :) dark confused.. emo! i want to break free mad..really mad! GRRRRRRRRRR. i hope you like it! tata!

finally had time to do a bit of shopping for some essentials: geesh, would you believe this already costs Php7k? tsk! my baby also checking out my loots..he's probably wondering if i got something for him. and i did! i bought him colognes LOL some items i've been dying to try...i've tested them at the counters and i think they are worth trying out . watch out for reviews :)

life itself is such a mystery. growing up, i had a lot of questions running in my head. i myself have encountered a lot of obstacles in my life and is still continuing with the battle. i would often ask, "why is life so unfair?" and when i got the chance to (sort of) meet MIO online..i once again asked the same question. (please click on the pic to go to the site and learn more about MIO and his fight against CANCER with his mom) now, i am wondering again...there's no way an innocent child, full of dreams and love deserve to be sick like this. to be raised by a single parent is unfair already (i myself grew up without a dad), how much more to be sick with the big "C." but then again, God won't give us anything we can't handle. He has ways that we may not often understand, but truly HE has reasons for everything. I admire Mio's mom for being so strong...and for fighting this "bitch" together with her child. I admire those people who s...

yep, i'm not into family planning. LOL! let me introduce you to our newest family member, MAK , short for MAKISIG (handsome/gallant): got this a month ago from X, who got tired of me complaining endlessly on how it is to get a cab especially when you need them the most. i had to enroll 2x in a driving school to win his trust that i can survive driving in the metro without getting hurt, more so hurting somebody else. Yvette, Mom and MAC i had to conceal my plate...well, i don't want you to freak out in case you see me on the road near you after telling you stories bout my driving boo-boos. LOL!

An instant brightening powder, it is rich in omega-3 fatty acid, vitamins A & E with Nano-coating, to lighten dark eye circles. Instruction: Apply after Salmon Dark Circle Concealer. Apply an appropriate amount of powder around the eyes with the enclosed puff, as well as on skin where brightening is needed. i told you, i won't stop til i get the entire Salmon line from Skinfood! unfortunately, after a month, i was only able to get myself the dark circle powder. two more items to go...whew! what i like: cute packaging. i must admit, i am such a sucker for cute packaging...this is the first thing that i get to notice, so when a promising item has a "blah" packaging, i tend to ignore it unless i get to read good reviews. yep, kinda judgmental when it comes to product packaging (don't be like me! hahaha) brightening. unlike other undereye setting powders which tend to give you a flat look, this one gives the illusion of bright undereyes. and this means, more r...
