NYX Lip Smacking Fun Colors.

December 30, 2011 bee. 6 Comments


Hey Guys!
It's almost the end of the year... and if you've been following me for awhile now you'll probably know that this is so late! Well, these lippies are from my sister's CHERRY CULTURE HAUL which she got a couple of months ago. Some of you may ask why would I even blog about this...? Well, she was thoughtful enough to get the recommended colors for morena ("tan" in Tagalog)  skin like mine! Yes, I'm in the MAC shade NC43! Well, I use to be fair... but since I've been wearing a lot of shorts and skirts this year... my body has tanned except my face! So I use my MAC Studiofix Powder foundation on my face to match the rest of my body!

Anyways, here are the lippies!

Top 11 for 2011.

December 28, 2011 bee. 13 Comments


Hey guys!
I'd like to share with you my favorites for this year!
These are products I find myself reaching for everyday and are satisfying...
They are not arranged at any order, by the way.
Here goes!

A. E.L.F.'s Blushed/Bronzed Duo - I love how this is a two-in-one product with a great blush & bronzer in a very sleek packaging. More info here.
B. Amazing Cosmetics' AmazingConcealer - So far my HG concealer but very pricey.
C. MAC Studio Fix Powder Foundation in NC42 - Great coverage!
D. E.L.F. Angled Eyeliner Brush - Soft & lines my eyes well... including the inner corners!
E. Revlon Colorstay 12 Hour Eyeshadow "06 In the Buff" - A couple of light warm eyeshadows I use when I feel like making my eyes more prominent asides from the use of eyeliner.
F. Wet n' Wild Mega Eyes Creme Eyeliner in Black - Creamy, easy to work with, lasts all day even in high humidity, intense black color, and affordable! This pot is my second one!
G. Maybelline Lash Stiletto Mascara - Keeps my lashes curled, lenthens my lashes, and doesn't have a messy application.
H. Ecotools Recycled Retractable Kabuki Brush - Great for on-the-go. Great Quality. Super soft!
I. E.L.F. Studio Eye Primer - Great for everyday use & affordable.
J. Nichido Extra Waterproof, Protective Eye Pencil - So far the only eyebrow pencil that suits me naturally!
K. The Face Shop Essential Masksheet CO-Q10 (for supple skin) - I woke up to clear and smooth skin after I used this over night! Masks like these are essential for beautiful skin.

I included a mini review for each... 
But for the products I haven't done a thorough review on, I may make one if anyone would like me to.

Anyways, if you haven't shared your top picks for 2011 and would like to do the same... 
I TAG YOU!

Advance Happy New Year!

Christmas 2011.

December 27, 2011 bee. 5 Comments


Hey guys!
Sorry for the lack of blogging! I've been busy lately because my family hosted our clan's Christmas Party this year! I actually missed out on this event last year because I was in the Philippines for school... Anyways, my mum wanted everything nice and "perfect"... But I'm glad it's over and done with!

Beauty-related Christmas gift I received?
Sephora Perfecting Cover Concealer in Medium Beige #25.
This was an exchange gift with my little sister... We were shopping at Sephora so we could get joint gifts for our parents and our older sister then she told me if I could find anything under $20, she would get it for me. How sweet right?? But I was like, if you get me something... I have to get you something as well! She said I didn't have to...but I insisted. So it turned out to be as if we bought stuff for ourselves! LOL. She picked out a Sephora lipgloss while I picked out this Sephora Perfecting Cover Concealer. Why? Well, I know that I will soon be running low on my HG Amazing Cosmetics Concealer but I didn't want to spend for it! The AmazingConcealer is $28 for 6ml while this Sephora Concealer is just $16 for 15ml!!! Big difference right? I just hope it could be as great, though. I'll review this later!

Anyways, I also got a cute bag from the Secret Santa my cousins and I did... and I got a new phone!!! Its a Samsung Galaxy S... an android! Yay! No need for the iTouch I wanted! So now I get to upload more stuff via mobile.. like the Christmas tree up there! It's real pine and decorated by my photographer sister, Roxx. Pretty nice, huh?? LOL.

Here's a picture of our chocolate fountain that night... 

I've been jogging again because the Taekwondo school is closed for the holidays and all the Christmas food has plumped me up! Seriously, chocolate & sugar overload! Noooo!

More posts coming soon!
Hope you're enjoying the last days of this year!

Geo Nudy Gray from the Red Jhelli Shop!

December 22, 2011 bee. 8 Comments


Hey Guys!
If you read my last post, ya'll know I just got my hands on my first win goodies! Yeah! Well, I've teased you all about what I got from the Red Jhelli Shop... and here it is! One of the perks of the package I picked out was the chance to select a pair of lenses from the Red Jhelli Shop's current inventory... and this was what I was definitely after amongst the prize packages! I love love love contact lenses! I used to purchase a lot a year ago until I thought I've had way too much. I'm glad these babies came in time when I need a fresh new pair once again!


So, here's was what the lenses came in with... 
Pretty nifty packaging!


The lenses were anchored really well inside the box  it came in and the rest were all neatly packed in a plastic pocket. You've got your lenses, lens case, instruction manual, your customer/return policy paper, and a Red Loyalty Card (discount!!!) for the next purchase! Really creative, functional, and neatly done! Two thumbs up because I know that this package traveled a lot and really far before it got me and yet, the goods are still in great condition!


Geo Magic Color Soft Contact Lens: Nudy Gray.
Geo Magic Color Soft Contact Lens in Nudy Gray [CH-625].
Brand : Geo
Origin: South Korea
Diameter : 14mm
Water Content : 38%
Base Curve : 8.6mm
Life Span : 1 year disposal


Geo Magic Color Soft Contact Lens in Nudy Gray [CH-625].
 Daylight. No flash. No eye makeup.

Geo never fails to be so comfortable! Even if this was newly opened, I immediately rinsed it with contact lens solution and wore them... no discomfort, teary eyes and whatsoever! The lenses also gives the mysterious moon-like eyes look which I am loving so much!

The overall look...
Geo Magic Color Soft Contact Lens in Nudy Gray [CH-625].
 Flash. With eyeliner.

Thank you once again to Kikaysimaria and the Red Jhelli Shop
I definitely love my prize!

Happy Holidays ya'll!

KPop Mondays: Neglected Hyoyeon (SNSD).

December 19, 2011 bee. 7 Comments


SNSD's Dancing Queen has finally voiced out her being upset for her stage outfits! 

I think I already ranted out how my dear idol in my 1st Kpop Mondays post, Hyo, was always the most neglected member of the Korean girl group Girl's Generation or SNSD... I'm so glad she finally said it herself! Her fans have definitely noticed this (like me!) through the years... Wanna see?


But wait! There's more I dug up!
2008.
It's not only about the clothes... the hair too!!!
What were her hair, makeup, and clothing stylists thinking???!!!

Hyoyeon in orange.
Either she's been messed up the stylists or she looks the most blahhhh!

Wanna see what she looks like when she's not onstage?
Beautiful, isn't she?!!!


Well, at least they've done a good job on her for their song THE BOYS...

Now, she has said something about her dilemma,
I hope SM will take action to fix it for Hyo and her fans!
She said she trusts her stylists to do what's best for her...
but obviously they haven't been doing that!

Holiday Giveaway! [CLOSED]

December 14, 2011 bee. 35 Comments


Hey guys!
I felt bad for my last (and first!) giveaway because I know that a big chunk of my followers are from the Philippines and I know for a fact that you guys deserve some love for loving my blog! My mum was kind enough to see my dilemma and offered to make this giveaway possible! LOL.

What are the prizes?

I chose this because it comes with 9 eyeshadow colors, 3 gel eyeliners, a pencil liner, a mirror and instructions how to create a smoky eye! Complete, right?! I don't have to worry about my newbie followers figuring out how to use this! LOL. And I also  thought that during daytime its acceptable to skip eyeshadow but when you go party at nite, one would need the right eyeshadow & eyeliner can help you achieve your party animal look!

Once you've got your smoky party animal eye makeup on, top it off with a simple lip color! I love this set because it comes in three different lip glosses that aren't too crazy to be paired with your crazy eye look and the fact that these are said to be dupes of Stila's lippies!

Wait there's more!
Just to show you all I love you.. there will be TWO WINNERS for this giveaway!

Sorry! Only PHILIPPINE RESIDENTS for this one!
You can find these in any US Target store and I'll get something better for my International readers once I start working... I promise!

KPop Mondays: Hyuna's Trouble Maker.

December 12, 2011 bee. 2 Comments


Have you seen it?
X-Wonder Girl and current 4Minute member HYUNA is sizzling the KPOP music scene with her latest work Trouble Maker!


The plot can be compared to Justin Timbrlake's Sexy Back... truthfully, it isn't a very good comparison at all.... And oh, the music is remind me of Ciara's & Justin T.'s Love, Sex, and Magic as well.... Hmmm.

Nonetheless its a pretty HOT video.

Hyuna is already sexy, you know...
 

Do you think its too much sexiness?
From one of her live performances.

In any case... she is stunning!


Watch the music video for yourself!


I still love HYUNA!

Christmas Wish List 2011.

December 11, 2011 bee. 7 Comments


Hey guys!
Since everyone has been blogging about their wish list.. I thought I'd blog about mine! Teehee. Now, if we were talking about material stuff... I sure would love o get a iPod iTouch as a replacement for my STOLEN iPod Nano! You read it right, STOLEN! By a couple of kids in Taekwondo class who refuses to give it back... They found my nano on the floor and made a big fuss about it in front of our master (but he didn't know it wasn't theirs) and a couple weeks later, when asked where my ipod was at, they "don't know". Funny right??? I sound like I'm ranting here... well, I had that nano for a good 2 years! Now, all I have left of it is the ipod case my cousin gave me two years ago (it was found in the garbage)! I love listening to music and it helps me get through the tough times and now... I feel naked without it.

I don't want an ipad because its too big to go jog with... Not an iPhone because I don't need a phone and would prefer something that is an Android... The itouch  would be great for checking on my emails, facebook, and etc. faster than using a computer or laptop a long with the music trip and video watching!

Truthfully, I don't need more makeup at all! I could survive with the clothes I have with now... But if asked if I wanted a material object... that would be it. ACTUALLY, I WOULDN'T WANT ONE IF MY NANO WASN'T STOLEN!!! Grrrrrr... But whatever, what goes around comes around. And it's the Christmas Season... So whatever... :P

On to the important stuff, I would like to be admitted to take the NCLEX soon and pass it, please. The NCLEX is the nursing exam here in the US... I feel too much like a bum nowadays... I need to start working so I can afford being a beauty blogger and give back to my readers! Gahhhh! LOL. XD

That's all I could come up with...
BYE!

Sunglass Man Online Review + Giveaway!!! [CLOSED]

December 09, 2011 bee. 0 Comments


Hey guys!
Yes, you read that right! I'm hosting my first giveaway!!! What's at stake? Something real simple but really nice... read till the end of this post to find out!

Here's a fact about me... I LOVE SUNGLASSES! I used to hoard so many funky types when I was in the Philippines! Whether it be at some random mall stores, Chinese boutiques, Penshoppe, and Forever21! I usually buy all the time because I just love how sunglasses add that pop of swag into my outfit!

Sometime ago, Sunglass Man Online sent me a gift certificate to purchase any of their sunglasses to try them out and give feedback on them. Here's a closer look of my pick!

Vintage Wayfarer Sunglasses #KS1100

These glasses are the bomb! The quality is so freaking awesome! Why? The frame is very thick, the hinges are sturdy and big, and the paint job isn't messed up! Plus, this baby has 100% UV Protection! And of course... it is huge! It's great when you want to cover your face up and still look cool at the same time.. TEEHEE! Upon, wearing these glasses I can already tell its going to last me a while! I usually buy so many glasses because I use them all the time and they just suddenly break or the hinges comes off...


This style used to be $20 and was marked down to $11.95. It may seem that these are a bit expensive for mere sunglasses, but trust me when I say the quality is superb! This is a whole new level compared to the numerous cheap sunnies I broke the past years! I used the remains of my gift certificate for faster shipping!

By the way, I think the Sunglass Man Online shop is very prompt and quick in responding to their customers... No hassle at all! I certainly didn't have any trouble shopping at all!

Here's more pictures of me!

E.L.F. Studio Eyebrow Kit in Medium.

December 06, 2011 bee. 7 Comments

E.L.F. Studio Eyebrow Kit in Medium.


What it does:
Create brows that are fuller, thicker, and more defined! The pigmented wax defines and shapes brows and the color complementing setting powder keeps them looking arched and perfected. The doubled sided taklon brush has one side to help arch your brows while the other side aids in filling them in. This duo provides lasting color definition for a naturally beautiful look.
Product description taken from here.

E.L.F. Studio Eyebrow Kit in Medium.

What I like:
  • Sleek packaging.
  • Two-in-one product. Gel & powder.
  • The free brush is not bad.
  • $3 in drugstores (US).
  • Available (Philippines) in Watsons & the beauty section of SM Malls, including SM Naga (Bicol).
What I don't like:
  • The gel doesn't tame my eyebrows at all!
  • Fills in only the smallest gaps on my brows. Not great if you've got a lot of eyebrow hair missing.
  • Cost more or less 250PHP in the Philippines.

My eyebrow hair are quite long, has thick follicles, and stubborn. I purchased this thinking this may help controlling my eyebrows but it didn't. The gel feels watery upon application and not sticky enough to hold anything in place. It basically doesn't define my eyebrows at all. 

Unfortunately, this is a disappointment for me... But this doesn't change how I like E.L.F. and will probably give their Eyebrow Treat and Tame a try in the future.

I still love using my Nichido Extra Waterproof Protective Eye Pencil, by the way. My mom loves it! My friend, Mikko, still uses the one I gave her! It suits almost everyone, looks natural and it's really cheap!

That's it for today!
