Liebster Award Nomination

Hello everyone! I apologize for lack of post for more than a month. I've been busy for something that I've always wanted to do ever since so I decided to focus on it. I have been nominated by my fellow blogger Infinite Elegance  for the "Liebster Award Nomination". Here are her questions (and my answers): How did you get interested in Make up?   I was 9 years old when I saw my Moms lipstick and eyeshadow in her closet. I put some of it on my face and was amazed how it made my young face prettier. I have loved make-up since then but only got addicted to it a year ago when my office mate showed me a blog site full of beauty products. I hoarded make-up since then! What are some of the staple products in your purse? I used to put everything in my make-up kit but I can't live without foundation and lipstick. What's your most expensive make up/skin care/fashion purchase so far? The most expensive skincare I have bought so far is the Cliniq...

Flawless Make-up using Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream

Hello everyone! I'm left alone with my baby today so I decided to make a brief review about the BB Cream that I have been using this past few days. There have been a lot of raves on BB Cream up to this date. I am not a fan of light coverage make-up because I used to work for almost 12 hours so I thought BB creams are too light coverage for my taste. I tested few products at the counter to see their consistensy and coverage. I was looking for something affordable but promises better skin in the long run untill I come accross Etude House Precious Mineral Precious Mineral BB Cream. I've had it for a while, almost six months I guess but I don't use it on a daily basis. I still rely on foundation when I go to work. Description Precious Mineral BB Cream promotes silky complexion with pear infused sheer coverage. Contains adenosine & arbutin for anti-wrinkle & whitening efficacies. SPF for UV protection. Paraben free. Oil free. Mineral Oil free. Dermato...

ELF Get the look Brown Eye Set

Hello everyone! Friday is fast approaching, if you are a working girl I'm sure most of you are busy with whatever task you have to finish. I just hope you'll catch some time to retouch or check yourselves, of course you will! I was at a Department store checking for a gift to give my sister on her 18th birthday. And what is the best gift to give to her? Of course, make-up. Me being the ever loving eldest sister she has decided to buy a make-up set. I want her to look fabulous on that special night. She will not have the grandest party but I want her to look her prettiest ever! I checked ELF for some affordable but fantastic make-up kit for her. I saw the ELF Get the Look Brown Eye set and thought that it is perfect. I don't want her to put heavy and colorful eyeshadow, this is also something she can use in School. The kit includes Eyeshadow, Liquid Eyeliner, Eyelash curler, Eyeshadow brush, and Mascara. All of these are in full size. This is definitely wo...

When I play with eyeshadows - Silver, Gray and Black

Hello everyone! Weekend is fast approaching, who's up for a weekend sale? I am! I don't have anything in mind to but but I want to visit malls to see what I can get. There might be something I need that's on sale but again I'm not sure yet "laughs". Ok...enough of the mall thing. I haven't used gray and black eyeshadows in my usual office/day make-up. I don't know, I just feel a bit uncomfortable wearing them especially if the color is very pigmented. I guess I was afraid to have a big panda eye! Today, because I'm not going anywhere and I can remove my make-up anytime, I decided to be more creative with my make-up. I tried some silver and gray eyeshadows with a little bit of black. I thought I just want to see how it looks on me then erase it afterwards but I decided to make a full face. I didn't have any inspiration for making this look but I was thinking of catwoman after I applied the eyeshadows and while lining my eyes. Here's th...

Nichido Color Intense Eye Pencil

Hello everyone! Would you believe I haven't taken my lunch? No, I'm not on a diet but I felt like my stomach is still full although my brain is thinking about food. Oh well..I guess I would have to eat after this post.   I love eye pencil as much as eyeshadows. There were times that I don't feel like patting on shadows just because I was so lazy to do so. For those lazy days an eye pencil is on the rescue! I was rummaging counters and counters of make-up at SM Department store for affordable eyeliner. The color should be vibrant and opaque without breaking the bank.   I saw these eyeliners lying beside eyebrow powder at Nichido counter. I have tried Nichido products before, I wasn't impressed so I'm not expecting too much from these eyepencil. I tried applying it on the back of my hand and I can’t believe how creamy they are unlike other eyeliners I have tried. I decided to buy two colors that I don't have yet.     Shading Sponge   ...

My first day as a full-time Wife

Happy Sunday guys! Have been busy around lately because of some stuffs I have to take care of before I leave the company that I worked with. Yes! I have rendered more than 30 days to take care of everything for a smooth transition. Now I am ready to take new responsibility...at home that is! So yesterday was my sisters birthday, although I am not with her to celebrate I made a dish that I don't usually cook at home to make the day a little bit speacial. I wanted to make white spaghetti but I realized that I cooked a lot of rice so more carbs from spaghetti could be too much. I got this recipe from Liz of Project Vanity  so this is not my original. You can check the link to see how she make it step by step. I used 1 kilo of beef for this and adjusted the ingredients to suit my taste. I wanted to show you some pictures of it while I’m cooking. I like this recipe, it is tasty and easy to prepare but the cooking time would be more than an hour especially if you will ...

Ecotools Bamboo Bronzer Brush Review

Hello ladies! It's a "feel good Monday" and I'm sure I'm gonna start my week right. We'll be going to the mall later for the regular hair cut of Adam. I love make-up brushes. It hasn't been too long since I learned how to use brush in applying make-up and now I am building my collection. I don't have a lot but I have few pieces that I need for personal use. I am also thinking of buying a set that I can use when I go to make-up school. Is there anything you recommend? I am eyeing on Sigma Mrs. Bunny Collection but I still want to read more review about it's performance. The package that I’ve been waiting for has arrived. Inside it are Eco-tools Bronzer Brushes, I have loved them since I lay my eyes on them. I’ve seen good reviews about Eco-tools brushes before and I’ve wanted to buy one or maybe two to try but they’re not easy to get. Most of them are being sold online for a higher price. I learned about the Eco-tools Bamboo Bronzer brush from J...
