Clinelle Purifying Toner my HG toner...I've used up 3 bottles already and surprisingly, it still works for me. my skin has this weird habit of messing up once it gets immune PONDS White Beauty detox (lotion type) weeks ago, I tried the yellow/gold one and found out that it works great as a moisturizer. I was scared that I might breakout but I didn't. So now I decided to give this pink variant a try and let's see. I've been using the moisturizer from Lancome Blanc Expert for quite a while now and I am no longer seeing results. Probably this is a great time to switch. PONDS Flawless White Spots Blocking Serum and Mosbeau Cream (ain't it obvious? I'm not into whitening...LOL! ) if you've been a reader of my blog since I started, you know that I suffered from nasty adult acne some 4-5 years ago and it left me with lots of pimple scars...and I mean, a LOT! I've tried a lot but nothing worked. until I gave in and bought Obagi. only then I was able to...

Maybelline Volume Express Magnum Mascara It includes a Collagen Formula as well as a new patented oversized Magnum Brush to give this waterproof mascara the volume barrier for killer lashes. The Collagen Formula plumps up and volumizes the lashes, giving that luscious thick look. The Magnum Brush seeks out even the smallest lash to ensure fine wax dispersion, with a generous and fast charge, ensuring ultra thick lashes with absolutely no clumping. the wand whenever Maybelline launches a new mascara, I make sure I get one. why? because, until now, I still believe that Maybelline has the best mascaras in the market at a very affordable price. i am still loving their Cat Eye mascara, so let's see if this one is as good, if not better. uncurled lashes lashes curled applied 1 coat of mascara lashes with 2 coats of mascara what i like: waterproof cheaper than other brands no smudging, no clumping holds the curl unlike others who find that it's hard to remove, this waterpro...

I've been hearing a lot of raves on Missha BB creams...actually, this brand get the most number of rave from BB users out there. And the curious me gotta know why. by the way, I won't be posting a before pic anymore since I am quite sure you've had enough of my horrible bare face already. ^_^ applied a layer of the bb cream all over face...no finishing powder. (see how more matte it looks as compared to Skin79) again, i didn't use any concealer but I built the coverage on blemished areas and undereyes by patting another layer of the bb cream. applied the rest of my makeup and a layer of Shu Uemura finishing powder comparing to Skin79, I didn't have to reapply my finishing powder but I did blot a few times the entire day. after 10hrs: red marks are again visible but not that much. i also still look like I have the bb cream on, it didn't totally slide off my face. again, I didn't use any primer. hmmm...what do you think? looks like I have one candidate fo...

it's been almost a month since Forever21 opened its first store in the Philippines, but I still remember how crazy it was during their private party and on their first few days after they opened their store to the public. I was one of those who went gaga during the private party. to be in their store for the first time made me feel like I am in heaven...where everything I see is beautiful. I was able to get a few things, but I promised myself that I'll be going back soon. I did come back. But really, I get still overwhelmed with the huge store overflowing with so many pretty things. I still get confused where to go and what to check out first. Then I realized, I never got the chance to check out what they have in their accessories section. I was able to get a necklace during my first visit, but I got that at the cashier. I didn't really plan to go check their accessories because I thought, they may not be any different from what we already see from other stores. well...

as promised, here's my first attempt in trying out BB creams. as we all know, BB creams became famous (and it still is) because of its healing properties and the natural, dewy look it gives. a lot of beauty enthusiasts ditched their traditional liquid foundations and switched to BB creams with the hopes of getting the porcelain-white and healthy glowing skins of Korean women. well, with the promise of more beautiful and blemish free, healthy skin, who wouldn't get enticed? i myself got interested and got 16 samples off Ebay..LOL! anyway, the first BB cream to try out is: Super BB Cream (Gold) from Skin79 left: bare face right: applied first layer of BB cream left: applied 2nd layer of BB cream and topped with Shu finishing powder right: applied eye makeup and blush applied lipstick and reapplied finishing powder at this point, i was already beginning to oil up. i've been blotting my face for a few times already even before I reached the office. my face looked a ...

i was cleaning my closet last week when I realized that I barely have "pambahays" (house clothes). i usually sleep with PJs but because of the heat, i prefer shorts and sandos. i need to go shopping but i dont have much spare money so where do i go? to tiangges (bazaars) of course! to my readers here in the Phils and particularly in Manila, you might have heard of St. Francis Square already. it's at the front of Megamall and lucky me, i don't need to drag my fat ass all the way to Greenhills since St. Francis is just a few meters away from where i work. there, you'll find a lot of good buys if you'll just be patient in checking out stalls. some clothes are not of good quality, but if you're lucky, you'll find some really nice dresses/blouses just like the ones you'd find in the malls. so here's what i got: boxer shorts, sleeveless shirts and cardigans i also got these pretty accessories: and these: an officemate find this pair cute and kind...

my 16-samples of BB cream are here! (booty shake) I honestly got confused as to what brand to sample first. I checked some reviews so I'll have an idea what to get. I have samples from Skinfood, Tony Moly, Baviphat, Missha, Hanskin to name a few. I've been sampling these past few days and I have one that I am getting in full size. Yey! but yes, i'll still (try) to sample all of them and post a bit of review here..and probably an FOTD? let's see.. the seller gave me some freebies too! I can't wait to try everything...I'm again a willing guinea pig, LOL!

I remember that mom bought me pillboxes that I can bring anywhere so I won't forget to take my vitamins (or medications) everyday. but I had something else in mind to put these pillboxes to use: nope... tadahhh! yeah dearies, I went thru the hassle (but enjoyable and exciting) of chopping off a portion of my frequently used lipsticks and melting them in this pillbox. I got this idea from a dear friend when she heard me complain about bringing tubes of lipsticks for retouch during makeup gigs. of course, during touch ups, I won't be dragging my traincase anymore and a (little) pouch should do. now, having my lipsticks in this little pillboxes spare me a lot of space in my touch up pouch for my travel sized brushes, blushes and blot powders. don't worry, this is fairly easy. just chop off a portion of your lipsticks and place it in on the slots of the pillbox. put it in your microwave, set timer to 30seconds and go! it's like having a lip palette with the shades of...
