IAMBRIGITTE

For months now, I got so used to just having a single color on my lids, a liner and mascara for my eye makeup. So last Monday (got up a bit earlier than usual), I got more time to at least define my crease...yey! I'll be wearing a bright red shirt dress that day so I went for neutrals: MAC brows in Spiked MAC browset in GirlBoy UDPP MAC e/s in Pattina (entire lid) and Carbon (outer crease) Maybelline High Impact Express liner Prestige eyeliner in White Maybelline Cat Eyes mascara hmmm, i'm all red in this picture... geesh, i miss posing for my camera like this! i wish i can do tutorials soon!

for a long time now, i've been hearing a lot of raves about Saizen, this Japanese store where you can buy (almost) all sort of stuff: from food, to toiletries, to kitchenware....errr, everything! i used to live far from its branch in Robinsons Galleria so I really haven't got the chance to pay a visit. so now that i moved just across the street, i just know i shouldn't wait any longer. my Saizen loot some kitchen stuff, because i'm still high from moving to a new pad random stuff that X got now i realized that my loot is such a bore...hehehe, blame it on X who have been impatient with me the whole time i was inside the store. he kept on saying that i don't really need anything...hhehhee, of course i do! but i admit, store is like heaven. i can spend hours inside checking out their stuff. some are really worth the price (Php88 or Php85), most especially the big items...but some aren't. so, be wise! now that X is gone, i'm sure i'll be visiting again a...

i admit, i am addicted to Forever 21. a week won't pass that i won't pay that huge store a visit, to get stuff that will help me ease the stress i get from work. yep, accessories! i love, love, LOOOVEEE their accessories. well, i am confined to just their earrings and necklaces. i wish i can be that adventurous (and stylish) to sport their bracelets and headbands soon. don't get me wrong, i love their clothing line but i just get too confused whenever it's time for me to pay and i'll pass by another piece which is better looking than what i already have. for the past two instances that i've been there to buy clothes, i always ended up going beyond my shopping budget because i just had to get everything i think is cute. so yeah, i'll stay in their accessories section for now. beh!

last month, i finally decided to move out of my old place where X and I lived for more than 2 years, and move in somewhere near my work. i must say it was quite a hard decision to make because: 1) i got so used to that old place 2) it's where X and i stayed together (yep, i am that sentimental)...3) and lastly, the rent is a LOT cheaper. but the driving after a long day at work (working more than 12-14hrs a day) has finally taken its toll on me. not to mention coming in super, duper late to work the next day which equates to my salary getting deducted which is not good. hahaha! so i took a deep breath and told myself that as long as i come in to work on time, i can afford my rent that increased to 3x my previous. agh! i can do this....i can do this (chanting). here's a few shots at my new place while i was trying to cleanup and fix my things: my vanity table which i just got recently. i've been wanting to get one eversince but my old place is so small that another pie...

my face gets worse everyday and i don't think my current skincare regimen would work,not until these nasty pimples dry up first. i should've gotten either Glytone or Clinique but i don't have (quick) access on these two brands that worked wonders on my skin problems before, so I decided to get an alternative from the mall near my work. Etude House's AC Clinic skincare AC Clinic Toner and Gel AC Clinic Pink Powder Spot Patches I really am not sure why I decided to go for these...hmm, maybe the green packaging that somehow reminds me of The Body Shop's Tea Tree line? or maybe the scent that gave me the impression that since it smells like medicine, it will work on my problematic skin? I honestly don't know why...LOL! But I am keeping my fingers crossed that they would work...or at least won't make it worse. wish me luck!

it's been a while since I last posted an FOTD. Actually,i haven't been wearing much makeup lately. I rarely get to wear colorful e/s at work, just a liner on top of a frosty beige lid wash. I guess today's a bit special since I decided to wake up earlier to do my makeup. Smashbox photofinish primer/corrector in green Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation MAC MSF Natural in Light PAC brow kit topped with MAC brow set in Girl Boy MAC e/s in Fresh Green Mix Maybelline High Impact liquid liner MM Lash Expander MAC True Romantic NYX lipstick in Spoiled yep, my skin's still breaking out because of the pool's chlorine when X and I had a vacation. you should see how bad my skin is without makeup...sniff! I also had my hair colored some 3wks ago...i tried to give you a good look of my haircolor, but yep...i failed! and here's me taking a shot of my usual getup for work: yeah, I know I don't look like I'm on my way to work..and yes, I was late (again).
