My heart got broken the other day.  I wasn't able to hold back my tears that I ended up crying while waiting for a cab going home. I was so hurt and disappointed that when I got home, I cried my heart out. I was asking God, "Why me?" and "Why do you have to let me feel this way?" I know a lot of people have it worse but at that point, all I know is that I'm hurt and that I cannot take another disappointment in my life. I cried myself to sleep which is actually a good thing because sleep makes me feel a lot better. I woke up hours later still feeling sad but a bit more calm. I'm still hurting and though I can't promise that I'd stop hurting, I will try my best to do something about this situation that I am in now.  I really hope things will get better. If not, I just hope I'd be able to accept it without being hard on myself. Anyway, I'd talk about it maybe soon (or maybe not) but for now, let's talk about something that makes me fo...

A few months ago, during the Bloggers Launch for Benefit's Fake Up concealer, we got first dibs on what products to expect from the brand which probably has the cutest packaging ever.  One of these products is the brand's newest addition to their famous Box O' Powders, the Rockateur.  There were a lot of Ohhhs and Ahhhs, and all of us were left with a wish for this baby to come sooner. And after 4 months, I finally have one! Benefit Box O' Powder in Rockateur Famously provocative cheek powder Just like the other Box O' Powders, this costs $27 (plus tax) but this by far has the smallest amount of product at .17 oz.   Like the others, it also comes in a cute, nicely printed little box made of cardboard with a brush and a mirror.   As for the brush, I've noticed that this one has round edges and is actually softer.  I have Coralista and I find the brush too stiff for my liking. I threw it away just so I don't have to tak...

I am not really into collecting limited edition products (unless it's from MAC) but if there's one limited edition product that I am so glad I have in my stash, it would be the Shiseido's Camellia Compact. One of the reasons why it's a must-have?  It's the brand's commemorative product for its 140th anniversary.   The compact, as well as the multi-colored powder inside have the beautiful and distinctive design that showcases the cherished camellia flower which also happens to be the favorite of Shinzo Fukuhara, Shiseido's first president. Inside the compact is truly an eye-candy.  It has 3 shades - the icy, platinum white, perfect to be used as a highlighter, the rich peachy rose which is quite dramatic because it's has the most color payoff among the three and the petal pink, which is sheer and subtle that would look natural on most skin tones. All three shades are shimmery, but not glittery.  The shimmers on top of the ...

A few weeks ago, I received this lovely box during a dinner event at Geisha Restaurant at The Fort.  The first time I saw it, I was like "Ohhh, what's inside?"  and immediately started thinking what to do with the box right after!  (laughs)  I love trinkets, and I'm pretty sure this gorgeous box would be put into good use. Wanna see what's inside? Tadaaah.... Creme de Cheek from the Majolica Majorca Circus Ecstasy collection I first thought these are nail polishes, and since I am getting into nail art lately, it got me excited.  But after knowing that these babies are intended to give you supple, glowing cheeks..I got more excited! ^_^ Shell Pink Cream (PK312) - Coral Cream (RD310) - Kichigo Cream (RD411) they come in this little glass bottle..so be careful not to drop them!  It's made of glass, but it's small so it's still kikay kit-friendly.   Just like my Benefit Posietint , this ...

I was walking around the Health and Beauty section of SM Department store when I finally decided to check on Shawill Cosmetics. I've been seeing it for a long time and I actually remember taking a look on some of their stuff once, but didn't really tried anything.  I'm not really up for shopping for more makeup but after cleaning my makeup cabinet, I realized I don't have much blushes.  Well, I have a number...but most of them are pink.  I don't get to do makeup on clients that often so when I buy makeup, it's usually for personal use...and I am partial to pink blushes. (laughs) So when I was at the Shawill counter, I made sure I only check on their blushes and nothing else. I've read some good reviews on their blushes, and have thought of getting a few, but I want to test it first so I only took one.  Besides, I must admit I had a hard time choosing because aside from I've seen mostly pinks (again), they are also too pigmented and when it comes to ...
