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...

Party Like a Rockstar!

Hello guys! It's gonna be a long weekend and I'm sure most of you are headed for a nice vacation. Keep safe and hope you all enjoy "winks". So for this post, I won't be making a review. I will be showing pictures of my team when we had our 2Q Town hall at Tempura Grill in Makati. Here are the photos. They are few of my colleagues. From left: Clarke, Lervie, April, Me and Melissa. Melissa won the best dressed female for our theme Glam-Rock. I like her cut-out sleeves and her braided hair. The team with one of the boys Mark. Here we have the bosses. Almost all of our bosses are men. Sorry for the plastic bags. We're about to go home but we decided to take more pictures. Most of our foods were not eaten because we're busy taking pics and watching some performances, we bring it to the office and consumed everything.  This is Jake and Me. He won the Best Dressed Male, I think you know why by now. Don't worry, he...

ELF Healthy Glow Bronzing Powder Review

Hello lovelies! Remember the small ELF haul I posted a week ago? I'm been using them since, so today I'll be reviewing the ELF Healthy Glow Bronzing Powder. This is not the first time for me to use this product. I used it three years back thinking that it is a powder and I wondered why my whole face was glowing. Oh well...that's me just starting a relationship with make-up. I was in need of a highlighter to make my face glow when I'm wearing matte foundation. I searched online for an affordable one just so I can practice then I found good reviews on ELF Healthy Glow Bronzing Powder. e.l.f.

The Biggest decision in my Life

Hello lovelies! It's been raining since last week, most of the areas in Metro Manila and up North are in State of Calamity. I and my family are lucky because the village where we live is higher than the rest of the area here in Bulacan but other villages near us are flooded. Let's pray that this rain will stop and we'll see the sunshine again. Yes I wanted to share that I have made one of the biggest decisions in my life. If you read my post in  May you probably know that I was hospitalized, because of that my husband wants me to rest for a while and take it as an opportunity to take care of our only son. Hi I'm Adam. I'm mommy's little Man :) This is one of the toughest decision that I have to make for myself. I have been working since I graduated from college. I admit I'm not ready yet to just stay home not  doing anything aside from household stuffs. I also love preparing myself, getting ready for work, do my make-up and the like. I'm v...

Loreal HIP Liquid Lip Color Review

Hello everyone! I'm back with another lip product review, now you know how obsessed I am with lipstick and lip products. I received my package from MakeupHOLICS two days ago. She was having a clearance sale on some of her items and these are what I really, really wanted to try. You can check her facebook page, items are still on sale as of this writing. I waited for them 3 business days after my payment, my package arrived sealed in a bubble wrap. I'm not expecting for these lip-gloss to be broken while on shipment but at least they're still protected with something but they're no longer sealed maybe the reason they're on sale. I got the L'Oreal HIP Shine High Intensity Liquid Lipcolor in Arresting, Pretentious and Zealous. Each cost Php90 plus an additional Php90 for the shipping fee so I paid only Php360 for all of these. Imagine that? Just 90Php for a L'Oreal product? I was like "It's time to try them!". They're packed like thi...
