February 2012 Face.

February 29, 2012 bee. 11 Comments

Happy Leap Year Day!
I'd like to share my face stuff I've been sporting for most of this month!

Face
Amazing Concealer in Golden Tan.
MAC Studiofix Powder in NC42
E.L.F. Essential Natural Radiance Blusher in Glow
E.L.F. Contouring Blusher & Bronzer Duo's Bronzer

Eyes
Maybelline Expertwear Quad Eyeshadow in Designer Chocolates
E.L.F. Brightening Eye Liner in Black
Maybelline Lash Stiletto Mascara

Lips
IN2IT Moisture Release Lipstick in MR 15 Juice

Circle Lens
Geo Xtra Circle Lens XCK-105


BEE: GEO XCK-105
I'm actually out of blush from my ELF blush & bronzer duo so I went with the single ELF blush in Glow... And I have said that its more like a highlighter but on my cheeks it has a slight orange-peach color, as well. I feel like I'm summer-ready when I paired the blush with my orange lippie from IN2IT. 

And my eyes! This was one of my first circle lens and it is quite huge. The XCK-105 is categorized under the Super Size Lens of GEO and has a diameter of  whopping 14.8mm! Truthfully, this plain black circle lens is not a good choice for those who are new to circle lenses... in my collection of lenses, its my best bet when I want to look like an alien. I need the right makeup and when posing for the camera, I have to squint a bit to make me look less freaky. HAHA.

I don't take pictures as much... so I hope a "Face of the Month" will be fine. I'll definitely do FOTDs if I do drastic changes to my usual routine...



Goodbye February 2012!

KPop Mondays: The Moon That Embraces the Sun + Back in Time Cover.

February 27, 2012 bee. 5 Comments

The Moon That Embraces the Sun.

Hey guys!
Let me feature a Korean drama my sisters have been raving about recently... 
The Moon That Embraces the Sun.

Synopsis:
The story of the secret love between Lee Hwon, a fictional king of Joseon, and Wol, a female shaman. Wol was born from a noble family and became the crown princess, but she was entrapped and faced execution. Finally, she lived as a shaman. 
credits: DramaWiki
 
Honestly, I haven't really sat down to watch the whole thing and only watched bits of it... but they've said that this drama is pretty darn awesome. It's got a great romantic thing going on with a 13 and 15-year-old... and its quite adorable!

My sisters were so into it they produced an English cover for one of the songs for the drama, 
Lyn's "Back in Time".

Lovely song, right???

Let me share my little sister's cover!


It's not that I'm biased... I just love this song!
Definitely for those people who are still hoping and longing for that great love they will never seem to ever let go.
Mushy stuff right? HAHA.

My sister included some footage of the love story between the kids... and watching it in her cover video got me hooked! They're so adorable together! Too bad it ends in an unfortunate manner...

Anyways, I'm definitely planning on watching this drama!
It's still airing at the moment but I think there are sites that has the episodes that were previously released with English subtitles.

Here's a pic of my sister during filming for her cover...
I helped out with lighting! :D

That's it for now...
HELLO TO MY NEW FOLLOWERS!!! <3

Chopped bangs!

February 22, 2012 bee. 12 Comments

 Welcome to my room!
Hey guys!
I thought I'd make a quick post on my new bangs! As you can see up there... I don't have any! I've always had bangs and I've been finding it difficult to settle my overgrown bangs and make it stay pretty for picture... Two days later, I cut them!


Now, I need those bangs to stay intact and pretty as well! HAHA. And oh, since my hair grew again it also means I need to dye my roots very soon. 
Maybe I'll do it in the Philippines with some HBC goodies... Let's see! :D


That's it for now!

Big Bang: Alive.

Big Bang is coming back with their new album, Alive, soon! 
Let me take the time to spam ya'll with some Big Bang goodness!

 Get your oxygen masks ready... they'll suck out all the air with their sexyness! :D

Individual concept pictures (in order). 
T.O.P, Daesung, Taeyang, Seungri, & G-Dragon.
 


All together now!
President YG promised the public that the members will undergo a huge change for their new album...
What do you think???

For me...
T.O.P resembles G-Dragon but still looks yummy to eat!
I must say Daesung looks pretty darn hot! XD
Taeyang looks sexy with his inked body!
Seungri and his abs! :D
And G-Dragon... his hair remind of that movie Edward Scissorhands for some reason. O.o


The group also had some shots in Vogue Korea!

Oh my!
Daesung & Seungri are freakin' hawtttt! XD
Too bad they get beat up in the end :P

Blackeyes, blood, and crutches??? 
Pretty funny though! :P


Can't wait till they promote because I've missed them like heck!
They will be touring the world soon... I hope to see them in the flesh by then! XD

Later!

KPop Mondays: Past YG Artist Rejected???

February 13, 2012 bee. 2 Comments

Kim Ji Eun.

This is Kim Ji Eun. 
She is a former artist under YG Entertainment, the same company that holds 2NE1 & Big Bang.
And she also auditioned for Mnet's Voice of Korea show but didn't make the next round.



Watch her performance from 19:40 and you would agree with me when I say they made a
HUGE MISTAKE.

Kim Ji Eun was freaking awesome!

I actually heard about her way before I became a super fan of Big Bang when they have just debuted.
She worked with Taebin of 1TYM and Lexy (also YG Artists) and fell in love with her voice.






Her voice is amazing!!!

She always did these features with other main singers as a YG trainee and it took awhile before they finally launched her as YG's New Face when  Lexy came out with her third album "Rush" in 2007.

Kim Ji Eun's Rain.
 They did push through in releasing her solo album but after that it seemed that they seemed to just leave it that. Then came 2010 and she was came out in a group called "Lady Collection"

Lady Collection.
 But they seem to have disappeared as soon as they debuted...

It hurts to see how such an amazing talent like hers is going to waste.
 YG doesn't know how to take care of his female artists and it makes me wonder how 2NE1 will end.

So for all those ignorant people saying a bunch of BS about how CL is better than her just because they have the same haircut now or whatever... She trained 2NE1 before they debuted!

Ugggggh!
 Anyways, I hope something good comes to her since she got all this attention lately!



Catch you later!

Late KPop Mondays: 2NE1 in Albay!

February 07, 2012 bee. 4 Comments

2NE1.
Just a couple of days ago... 2NE1 paid a visit to my hometown!!!

Mayon Volcano, the world's almost perfect shaped volacano.
Legazpi City, Albay, Philippines.
Of all the places... my hometown!!!!
I don't mean to brag but its a place full of beaches and our place is boomin' for tourism!


Unfortunately, I wasn't around to see them... which killed me!
I was there for four years for university and when it was when I was away... they decide to come over!
It's craaaaazzzyyyyyy!!!

When they came over from Manila only a handful of people knew about their arrival.


The video was taken by one of my facebook friends, Louise! :D
Its kinda sad though... everyone, but Dara, was a little snobbish.
I would have totally been there screaming my butt off with them since I lived close enough to the airport!

They stayed at Misibis Bay Resort at Cagraray Island.


I'm not surprised that they picked Misibis out of all places...
It's the untouched and uncrowded Boracay in our little part of the Philippines!
Definitely a great place to get their vacation on without the crazy crowds!


Then they set out for Santo Domingo, Albay, Philippines.

The vehicle you see behind them is one of the main transportation in the Philippines.. its called a Jeepney.
It feels surreal to see them in Santo Domingo posing around like that...
makes you think.. What are you doing here?!!!! XD

After that... they proceeded to Daraga, Albay and caused a scene!
It's sooo crazy how I've been to the shops in those pictures...
Those streets they were walking on is a major road which they pretty much closed down by just being there!

I was pushing my mom to let me watch there concert in Manila last year for my birthday... and buy the most expensive ticket there was just to see them. It never happened because I went back home earlier than planned. So it is INSANE how the Albayanos got to stalk them for a couple of days for free!!!!

So, how do I feel about this??
If you read my tweets, you'd probably know
I was literally dying when I read tweets on them arriving to my hometown!

Anwyays, to make myself feel better I heard from a reliable source that they shall return to Albay and see the Butandings (Whale Sharks) later this year! I'm crossing my fingers because I might be returning to the Philippines and hopefully I might see them! I've actually seen/touched those whale sharks last year.. but I don't mind seeing them again with 2NE1!!!


2NE1 pictures taken from Jose Salceda's Facebook:

Thank you 2NE1 for choosing Albay!

Catch you later!
