Hidden Gems at TJ MAXX!

      I know.. I know... Another haul? Sorry... If you saw the makeup that I saw, you'd feel the same way! Anyways, this is a way to show you that you don't need to go to Sephora or Ulta to spot amazing finds... Plus, everything is priced beautifully! If you want to watch me go through these thing quickly, watch my haul video! I'm going to list the original prices down below if I can find it online... no, not the one on the sticker because their initial original prices can be more than the ones on the sticker! So read on!


December 2015 Favorites.

     December was a month ago, but I still want to share what I loved back then! Read on to see what I loved for the end of 2015!

CL "HELLO BITCHES" INSPIRED MAKEUP


So, I challenged myself again and filmed my attempt to create an inspired makeup look to CL's comeback promo picture! Wahh! I love the oranges & reds. It feels very appropriate for fall and feels very royal for sure! Check out my video down below!

CASUAL MAKEUP


     So here's something new... I uploaded a makeup video!!! Whoa! I've been wanting to do this for a long time, but so many things were in the way. Now that I feel I'm decent in doing makeup and I finally got a set-up I'm comfortable with, I went ahead and filmed this the other day right before my last video. This is my makeup when I go through my everyday life when I need a decent face to put on with being over the top. I even do this in the car when I have no time to do it at home! If you want to see how I did it, watch the video! If you want more details on what I used, read down below!

Top 14 for 2014.


Hi everyone!
     I know that we are on the second month of the new year and I have barely posted this up. But despite the amount of delay, I have been doing this post every year and I rather not stop now. I was quite busy at the beginning of the year actually! I attended/performed in Sac Anime Winter 2015 on the 2nd of January and I have either been studying or preparing for the AODSF just this past weekend (another performance in an anime convention in San Francisco). Plus, I have been putting up with my dying notebook which is quite excruciating. I don't have the means to purchase my own yet, so I have to work with what I have and be patient. But, of course, I am and will still be posting up as much as I can! Anyways, as you can see with the title, here are my TOP 14 for 2014! 

March 2013 Favorites.

I skipped last month due to all the hauls and experimenting... but this month, I definitely have my stand-out makeup stuff!

1. E.L.F. Essential Flawless Eyeshadows in Golden Goddess.
Great for everyday, on-the-go, and I love the color combo. Liked it so much, I got almost all the colors! Reviewing this soon!

2. E.L.F. Essential Blush in Coy.
Preferring this mauvey-pink color blush lately.

3. Maybelline The Falsies Volum Express Mascara in Black Drama.
I feel like this mascara definitely thickens my lashes plus holds a curl decently.

4. Maybelline Master Drama Eyeliner By Eyestudio in Black Spark.
Very pigmented and creamy! Review on this soon.

5. M.A.C. Studio Fix Powder Foundation in C4.
Great coverage and perfect match to my skin color.

6. NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk.
Did a great job allowing eyeshadow colors to show up on the lid. This held of highest importance during our Puck'd shows since we needed a lot of bright colors for our "raver look".

7. Rimmel BB Cream in Medium.
Great for everyday, I'm surprised and happy with this. Watch out for a better review soon.

8. Revlon Colorstay Liquid Foundation (Combination/Oily Skin) in 340 Early Tan.
Okay, I've said that this was too thick to use in my first review and probably only wearable in tropical countries on my updated review. I learned to use only half of the usual amount and use with a stippling or flat top brush for it to work for me. Great coverage and lasted me during the KPop M.V.P. dance workshop and my Puck'd shows. Definitely changed my mind on this!

9. C.O. Bigelow Rose Salve in No. 12.
A repeater! Does more than moisturize the lips! Found myself using this a lot this month!

-----
For some reason, this month went by faster than I thought it would! A lot has happened... and you can say I'm adjusting to my life here for real. I lived in the Philippines for four years (with a lot of vacations here) so I felt hung over and homesick for a really long time. Now, I feel content where I am at... this is my real home to begin with, anyways.

Happy Easter Weekend!
Thanks for reading!

NYX Lip Smacking Fun Colors.


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!

My Face of the Other Day. LOL.

I tweeted this picture the other day...
I was all dolled up for my sister's photo class project!
A great excuse to practice my makeup skills, right?!

More Pictures:
 I'm really loving my look! HAHA :D

Asides from using the face stuff I mentioned in my last post, I've used my NYX lippie in Eros for my lips along with my new favorite Prestige Automatic Waterproof Eyeliner in Smoke for lining my eyes, and favorite eyebrow pencil from Nichido.

I will get to reviewing products soon, I promise!

NYX Jumbo Pencils

NYX Jumbo Pencils: Electric Blue, Rocky Mountain Green, Milk, Purple Velvet, Black Bean, Pure Gold, and Pots & Pans.

Again these are from the Cherry Culture Haul post... YAY! :D


What it does:
A radiant eye liner that also doubles as an eye shadow. Made with a blend of mineral oil and powder, our creamy Jumbo Eye Pencils glide on effortlessly—no pulling, tugging or fading—and come in a rainbow of vivid hues. Some call her chubby. We say voluptuous. Available in 28 shades. 
Product description taken from here.

NYX Blushes

NYX Blushes: Dessert Rose, Angel, & Peach.

Remember these babies from the my Cherry Culture Haul post
Yes, Finally!  LOL.


NYX Blush in Peach.
 This is a very light pink blush with is a bit of tan... making it "peachy" in color. It may be too light that you would have to apply a lot of this in order to show up. Then again, the lack of pigmentation may be great for the natural look.

NYX Blush in Dessert Rose.
This blush is a deep hot red. The pigmentation is really good, so be careful in applying this! I feel like it creates the "cheeks-got-pinched-too-much-it's-close-to-bleeding" look... LOL.

NYX Blush in Angel.
This is light tan in color and has a sheen to it. I think the pigmentation is better than Peach... But because of its sheen it seems to be more of a highlighter than a blush, in my opinion.

My Lipstick Collection.


Hey Guys!
I promised that I would be sharing my "Lipstick Collection" from my last post... It's actually not a lot! So I hope I didn't deceive anyone into thinking I've got tons. I just thought I would share with you this before I do a new post about the NYX lippies my older sister hauled.

I actually was never big on colored lips because I thought that it was such a drag to constantly check if I just smeared the product on the edges of my lips or my teeth. Yes, I thought lipsticks were such a drag! It wasn't until I received a comment from my cousin's friend stating how much my lips lack. Then I realized I seriously disregarded my lips in my daily makeup routine. Starting then, I decided to look for good lippies!

Cherry Culture & Sephora Haul

My sister & I hauled quite a bit the past weeks... I'm so into blogging right now thus the desire to haul! Anyways, I thought I'd share with you all what we picked up and this could give you an idea what's coming up here in my little blog.

My older sister received a debit card for passing the NCLEX from one of my dad's co-workers in our latest party... She thoughtfully decided to spend the money on NYX items from cherryculture.com for our own use and my blog! And what was really sweet of her to do was that she ordered everything to suit an NC43, like me! Awwwww! How nice of her, right? She's an NC35, by the way.

NYX JUMBO PENCILS

NYX LIPSTICKS

NYX BLUSHES
I promise to get all these swatched, so all you tan (NC43) ladies can check out if these would really suit you.

-----------------------------------
So, my sisters and I went to the mall one day and went in our local Sephora... I dropped almost 1/3 of my birthday money from my parents in purchasing the folowing... And yes, this is my first Sephora haul!

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion in Original.
I picked this up because I felt like my Dollface eyeshadows need more staying power. I have the 88 palletes, so you can imagine how small the pots of eyeshadows are! I would like one one pat of the eyeshadow and get the color I see on the pot itself.


Amazing Cosmetics' Amazing Concealer in Tan Golden (with freebie Anti-Aging Face Primer).
Since I'm breaking out really bad at the moment and no skincare product is helping me out, my sisters prodded me to get a good concealer. So I asked the sales lady for her recommendations and I landed with this. Actually, she also mentioned the concealer from Smashbox because she said its quite popular as well. But we didn't have time to check it out, so I stuck to this. 



Evian Natural Mineral Water Facial Spray (2 To Go)
I've been meaning to get a facial mist, one from MAC or what not, due to some of the patchiness on my face. And it just so happens that this was sitting right at the counter! I used this before and its pretty awesome! The atomizer spritzes really fine water particles which makes it essential for a good facial mist and a non-cakey makeup look.



I actually still have a drugstore haul to share with you all, so stay tuned for that!
I guess you can really same I am really pumped up to get this blog going for all of my lovely readers...

Thanks for checkin' my blog out!
