Nails: Orly in Cotton Candy

Image
here's another nail polish swatch from Orly's Sweet Collection : Cotton Candy shade name, as well as the color is good enough to eat...yu mm! =) i still prefer darker shades though. i find that light shades makes my hands a bit darker...don't you think so too? and yeah, this nail polish swatch was made possible by our very own, Sol of DigitalTraincase . thanks for (always) letting me try your polishes...i wonder when the next batch will be. LOL!

Food: Must be Mom's

Image
I can say that I am not a "bread" person. I love rice, pasta (yeah baby, keep those carbo coming LOL!) but not bread. but there are exceptions: I've been seeing this "ensaimadas" at a mall near my office and it never fails to make me salivate. whenever I pass by their stall, it seems like these yummy breads are calling my name. and just who am I to say NO. see those cheese? Y-U-M-M-Y! and just like the saying "Man does not live on bread alone," this store makes sure that we are also well-fed spiritually: now, how's that for making us feel good inside and out?

My Laser Hair Removal experience...

Image
tell me, who wouldn't want to say "buh-bye" to these things and still be hairless? i've been attempting to do so since last year when i tried to undergo laser hair removal with another skin clinic. i had 3 sessions and that's it. i stopped when it also stopped giving me results. and since then, i told mysellf I might be better off with the old shaving and plucking. until I read a friend's review on Flawless' Laser Hair Removal...and yes, like most of you out there, yours truly also sometimes get influenced with reviews from trusty bloggers :) so I went to a Flawless branch nearest me, all ready to take my chance again to be finally free of my underarm hair. inside Flawless Megamall the pink accent makes me feel all girly and pamper-worthy. but men don't need to get intimidated as the clinic also caters to their needs. the laser treatment room the machine (i was actually expecting it to be in pink LOL) my underarms were cleaned first, then shaved (i...

going organic...

Image
I've always been interested with organic stuff...i've had organic dishes before (thanks to my ever-health conscious Mom) but never got to try organic stuff for the body. all i know is that they are much, much better since they are free from chemicals and that to go organic is to love ourselves, and our Mother Nature. as I've said, I am interested but didn't know where to start. good thing, a dear friend came to my rescue: these goodies are my birthday present from her...actually, i initially planned on paying them but she threatened me big time that I won't bother sending her even a single centavo as payment. LOL! toner, shampoo/body wash, conditioner, hair mask, lip balm, chocolate-scented soaps now I feel like I'm giving myself (and the environment) a big favor every time I use them. want to feel the same way? then what are you waiting for? click here and make yourself (and Mother Earth) happier and healthier!

Product Review: Revlon Photoready Liquid Foundation

Image
Revlon Photoready Makeup for poreless, airbrushed skin in any light. Photochromatic pigments bend and reflect light to erase any flaw. Complete, yet undetectable coverage. Soft, luminous finish. Oil free. Fragrance free. SPF20. (from Revlon) oh yes, it's another HD foundation but this time...from a well-known drugstore brand, REVLON. I've been using HD foundations eversince they came out in the market two years ago. My first hd foundation was that of Smashbox, and then I got MUFE next. From then on, everybody just seem to get addicted to achieving that flawless, airbrushed skin in front or behind cameras...of course, including me. when this one from Revlon came out, it promises to be an alternative to those high end brands...this means achieving the same effect, if not better, at a cheaper price. likes: consistency is like that of MUFE's and just like MUFE, it is easy to spread and blend light on the skin, not cakey offers medium to heavy coverage the pump dispenser! muc...

Nails: Sally Hansen's Insta-Dry in Jumpin' Jade

Image
i love greens...actually, i love anything dark for my eyes and yes, even on my nails. aside from that, I would need something that dries up easily...of course, there are fast-drying top coats available out there but to hit two birds with one stone would be a lot better. Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Fast Dry Nail Color (Jumpin' Jade) priced at Php365.00 per bottle, this one's for those who are in a hurry after applying their polish ...it dries up in a second or two after you apply it! it's also eliminates the need for a shiny top coat and the intensity of the color is impressive. in short, I am loving it! gotta have those other colors in their line soon :) don't worry, I'm not a nail polish addict...yet. kiddin!

loving Pink...

Image
most of my lunch breaks are spent inside the mall near my work...i know it's not a good idea since i can hardly stay away from buying some stuff...but hey, if that could help me not to lose my sanity from too much stress at work, it's okay :) (until my wallet starts crying..lol!) I've been passing by Etude House a lot of times already and the store never fails to amuse me with their cute pink ambience. I remember buying their concealer months ago and since then, I never got to pay them a visit again. Last week, I passed by their store and finally gave in: O2 White Sunpowder SPF50, gold nailpolish and makeup bag The sunpowder got me curious..imagine it has SPF50? I am so lazy to tote an umbrella when I go out that I just depend on my sunblock that I apply before I put on makeup in the morning..but we all know it's not enough. I need something that would keep me protected without messing up my makeup. So when I saw this, I know I just gotta have it. (review soon!) I...

on a diet...

Image
after seeing myself in the mirror days ago, I realized that I am really getting bigger. believe me, I am 5kgs overweight...sniff! blame that on late snacking and frequent visits to Starbucks for that oh-so-yummy strawberry frap and iced Cafe Mocha! i told myself, i need to go on a diet..ASAP! no more rice...no more sodas and no more late-night snacking on a bag of M&Ms. i got luckier one night not be told to go on overtime so I figured to have a walk in the nearest mall to "exercise." of course, I got hungry and decided to take out some dinner. and since, I am so into chicken right now, here's what i got from my fave Pollo Loco: half chicken, spicy salsa and 4 pcs of tortilla I was so full that my tummy ached and made me sleep right away....and yeah, I FAILED on my dieting plans once again.

bright colors to brighten up your day...

how'd you feel if you are told to work on a weekend? geesh, can you imagine working 2 days more after a grueling five working days? just when you thought you'd be bumming at home or probably be somewhere to relax and de-stress...boss would say "come to work!" awwwww! in as much as i wanted to start a revolution and go nuts against my boss...i might as well take advantage of the weekend work by extending my Happy Friday look. at least there would be less people staring at you wondering why on earth you're wearing party makeup at daytime, tee-hee. PAC browkit + MUFE brow corrector in 01 MAC e/s in Golden Rod, Sketch and Carbon Maybelline Ultimate Express liner Maybelline Magnum mascara UD 24/7 liner in Zero Laura Mercier primer Cinemasecrets concealer Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation in Sand Shu Uemura matte loose powder MAC blush in Dainty Revlon lipstick in Baby Pink Kirkland lipgloss match it with a colorful get up and off you go to work. so yeah, instead of rantin...

Image

Hmmm, or maybe I should resign from work? LOL!
