Hiyeee, everyone!  So how's Wednesday treating you all?  I'm back from my vacation but unfortunately, I've been sick for days now.  Probably because of too much sun and sea water?  But it's okay,   I had a great time and at least I'll have enough rest to keep me on the go once I get back to work next week. Now that it's less than a month before the holidays, it's time to get those shopping/gifts list out.  Actually, it's better if you've started earlier...but there's still time, so don't fret!  I am sure there are lots of good deals out there to help you get started.   Sophie , the beauty and brains behind Charm Essentials came up with her own set of great deals for the holidays: Brush sets + Brush Cleaner promos: and a special Buy one, Take one for the Inti-Mate Bra Converter: Also, you can catch our dear Sophie at her Beauty and Minerals booth at the St. James Bazaar this weekend: T...

Okay, I have a confession to make.  I LOVE Paris Hilton ! There was even a time when I can't stop listening to her song, " Nothing in this world " LOL.  I know most people don't like her, because to some, she's just a spoiled brat who's only all about being rich and living a fabulous life. Well, it's not her fault to born rich.  Err, filthy rich.  But there's more to her than just being a billionaire hotel heiress and a reality TV star. She's also a successful businesswoman!  Bah, she works her ass off too!  And it isn't her fault if she does it in style. So when her 15th fragrance, Dazzle , came out..I am just too happy to have a bottle for myself. Thanks to our friends from Prestige Brands ! :) Dazzle is a fruity fragrance that "expresses Paris' whimsical side, revealing her inner beauty - dazzlingly and charming without the need for bling." "Give me a chance to color my world and I colour it pink. A sp...

Hello, y'all!  How's your weekend?  Mine was busy, as Mr. X's now home for a one-month vacation.  Today's my last day at work, well at least for this month because I'll be on a vacation too!   I won't be attending events for the coming week, and probably won't be posting as much but I will try.  I won't be bringing "Tangy" with me so let's see.   For today, let me share with you my HG undereye concealer as of the moment.  I've been using Revlon's Age Defying undereye concealer for a long time (and loving it) until I realized I ran out of it one day and I didn't have any backup!  Good thing I have this lifesaver in Benefit's Confession of a Concealaholic kit. And since then, it has been a staple in my makeup kit. Benefit Erase Paste Brightening Camouflage for the eyes and face. Available in 3 shades: Fair, Medium and Deep I am not sure how much is in this pot, but I've been using...

Here's another attempt on nail art: Okay, this may not look like "art" (laughs). It didn't actually come up like what I have in mind, but I just got too lazy to start over again...so pinanindigan ko na! LOL. Turned out, some people liked it.  And well, I like it too.  Love your own, yes!? ^_^ How I did it: 1.  I applied base coat (Revlon) 2. Two coats of rosy beige polish (NYX) as base 3. Dip the ends of a fan brush on a purple shade, and then sweep on the nail starting from the right side going to the left (or from Left to Right) then vice-versa.   4.  Let it dry for a minute then do the same with a pink and then a white shade of polish 5. Finish with a top coat Last weekend, I was so happy because my nails got featured in Manila Bulletin! The feature was made by Jane Kingsu-Cheng , and it was about nail art.  I was featured together with Nikki who happened to be my inspiration in trying out nail art.  I may no...

No, this isn't about flying. (laughs)  I just want to show you this eyeliner style that I've been wearing for the past few days.  I think this is called an open-winged eyeliner. Not sure though, so don't take my word for it!   ^_^ So anyways, by now I am pretty sure you are already used to my winged liner looks.  Honestly, I can say that it suits me.  I've tried doing the simple, natural way by lining close to the lash lines and without any wing.  But no, it doesn't suit me.  I have big cheeks and if I do the natural way, it just makes me look plump-ier. Doing the winged liner lifts my eyes, making it look wider giving the illusion of narrower face.  Looking back, I realized that I've been doing the winged look ever since I started lining my eyes.  But of course, it was less dramatic by only extending the line and not really doing the winged, lift look. This open winged look makes my eyes look a lot bigger because I am no...

Hiyee!  It's midweek and I am getting excited for my upcoming two weeks vacation starting next week.    So most probably I'd be MIA and won't be able to post, but I'll try to schedule some posts while I still can.  ^_^ By the way, I've cleaned up my shoe closet and here's a bunch that I am no longer using.  Most, I've only used once, twice max while some are still brand new.  Let me know if you are interested, shoot me an email if you are.

Last month, I got an invite to attend a very special launch at Manila Peninsula in Makati.  Traffic was  very bad, but I made sure I wouldn't miss it.   Here's why... After 5 successful, not to mention fabulous years in the market, CHARM launched its most sosyal and prettiest makeup brush set to date...the Charm Travel Pro Sonia .  Don't get me wrong, I love her pink brushes, but ever since I hit the double 3 this year, I am trying to start to look (and act, ows!?) my age. Pink has always been associated with kikay, younger women...and geesh, in as much as I wanted to stay young, I simply can't! So when she came up with the hot pink handles for her first travel pro set last year, I asked her if she can come up with black and gold.  I've always thought of that combo as mature, and well, fab.   And so imagine how happy I am when she finally told us she's coming up with the black/gold set.  And our darling Sophie didn't stop there, she even...

I have Burberry Women and Burberry Brit   Summer   and among all my perfumes, the ones from Burberry are the most long-lasting.  I prefer Brit Summer, as I am more into fruity, playful scents.   Now, there's a new scent that has been added to the Burberry Body collection, which was launched in 2011...the Burberry Rose Gold .  It's a limited-edition rose gold representation of the warm and sensual Body Eau de Parfum, to celebrate Burberry Body's first anniversary.  Burberry Body Rose Gold An effortlessly sensual, feminine fragrance with an eclectic combination of refined ingredients.  Top notes of fresh absinthe, illuminating peach and delicate freesia.  Floral heart notes of natural rose absolute, iris and warm sandalwood.  Base notes of woody cashmeran, creamy vanilla, amber and musk.
