REVIEW: L.A. Girl Gel Liner

Hello hello hello! Three reviews in three consecutive days? Wow, this girl is on Fa-yah! Okay, let's do this. Today, I get a little overboard editing some of my photos through editing app called Decopic. Ang cute cute! Been wanting to put stamps on my photos, and I tried some apps but I can't seem to find the kawaii app that suits all my needs. Finally now I have Decopic. Ain't she lovely? I spent like hours tweaking my photos... Anyways--- (Sorry I forgot this is about an eyeliner, not an app. hihihi) Howell, been using this gel liner for two weeks now and I thought I might do a review on this one because (surprise surprise) I love it! I really haven't heard anything about this gel liner as compared to some popular drugstore gel liners such as  from Wet n Wild and Maybelline so I don't have much expectation about this product. But then, as I use every single day, I am actually enjoying it. Mine is in brown shade. Well, I do prefer brown ...

REVIEW: Rimmel Exaggerate Full Color Eye Definer

The only reason why I want to review this one is because Rimmel sounds like Rommel, which happens to be my boyfriend's name, Hahah.. Okay, I am kidding. There's a lot of reason why I want to review this one. First, this eyeliner doesn't smudge on me. I was gifted with hooded eyelids so wrong eyeliner gives me panda eyes. This one amazingly sits on my lids without transferring to the other side of the page. Next, I love using this as a base under dark eyeshadows because this is creamy and blendable. This is perfect for doing smokey eye make-up. Third, this is a retractable eyeliner so no need to sharpen. Fourth. If you need to sharpen the tip of this eyeliner, the bottom part has a detachable sharpener. One to two turns and your eyeliner is good to go. Fifth, I hit pan tube (is that how you call it?). I love this product. Enough said. Sixth, and still the reason why I love this one is because Rommel Rimmel sounds so cute. Really.

REVIEW: ZA 12-in-1 Total Hydration BB Cream UV White

Hello, Marvellous!!! I am in the mood to give you all a review about my first ever BB cream- that is, ZA 12-in-1 Total Hydration BB Cream UV White . I feel weird saying that I am a shy virgin when it comes to BB cream because this product has been the "holy grail" of smooth, clean, korean-ish look. Am I the only one who just recently stepped into BB craze? If you have been reading this blog, you may know that this BB cream is one of the four products I received from a blog giveaway. Before this, I am already planning to buy BB cream from other brand (Missha BB cream in particular) but fate led me to this one. It has been years since BB creams penetrate worldwide beauty arena and a lot has been said about this wonder product. If I am not mistaken, almost all beauty brands have their own BB creams and most beauty junkies had tried multiple brands of BB creams already. With ZA BB cream, I now understand the rave. I got this one from a beauty blog giveaway and I am ju...

TURNING PAGES: Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell

When I was in kindergarten, I had a hard time understanding Math specifically the lesson in  “greater than- less than-equal to” equations. My mother, being a teacher, helped me understand the lesson by using analogy . In a manner of storytelling, she told me that the sign corresponding greater than/less than/equal to is  Pacman  (the famous computer game back then), while the numbers in the equation represent the amount of apples . She told me I have to point Pacman’s mouth to the larger amount so he can eat more apples. I never failed at greater than/less than/equal to lesson ever again. SOURCE: h ttp://prekandksharing.blogspot.com/2012/08/montessori-inspired-greater-than-less.html Outliers  by Malcolm Gladwell is a lot like my mom’s way of teaching me Math. It is composed of analogies and stories that helped me understand the wisdom behind success. It will not tell you what to do, it will ask you to analyze the roots of success and w...

My PIERCINGS- Accidents, Stories, Reasons.. etc.

Elow elow elow Dear Reader! So, today, I bought new set of earrings and I realized, I haven't really talked about my piercing experience. So, I thought maybe I should answer some common questions about my piercings and piercing in general. How many piercings do you have? As of the moment, I have a total of six individual piercings. Three on the left ear, three on the right. When did you get them and why? 1. The first pair was done when I was four or five years old. I remember my father bringing me to a little health center and telling me to just tilt my head and that was it. I don't have much to say about this piercing because it was like a "default" kind of thing - sort of a tradition or one of those mandatory things a girl has to go through-  so nothing special in this pair. Also, I was too young to remember how it felt like. Too young to even comprehend. But I remember being happy having the privilege to wear such pretty gold earrings. I had the rest ...

NAIL PARAPHERNALIA: New Things to Try

This might come as a shock but I am a former nail biter. It is pretty ironic that this girl who loves to blog about nails is a former nail biter. Funny right?  Basically, I just realized that the cause of my disgusting habit is my addiction to my nails. So, instead of pricking on my nails, why not turn it into something positive and make my nails pretty instead? So, as I dove into colorful world of nail arts, and since I've just started to become a nail blogger, I am also slowly opening myself up to some manicure paraphernalia.  Nail Stickers, I like it subtle and classy 1. Nail Stickers. I am not a fan of nail stickers. I bought this one because I just want to try it out and if maybe I will like it. This one stood out because it looks subtle and I felt it would look great on top of a white nail polish. I actually tried it once and I must say it is okay but I am still not so obsessed with it.  --- Flocking Powder, husband of glitters, acco...

Review: Maybelline Colorsensational Lipstick in Honey Nectar

Hello, marvellous! I'm back with another review and today I am showing you the best pink lipstick I ever had so far. As I recall, my last pink lipstick review was Revlon Stormy pink and it wasn't a good love story. I also remembered buying Nyx Narcissus and it's just plain wrong for my tan skin -  I was screaming Nikki Minaj. But then, after months of wearing either a nude lipstick ( In2it Orange Fizz ) or red lipstick ( CD Rouge Allure ), I am craving for something flashy, girly, and colorful. So, I took on the plunge and went on for my search for the perfect pink shade. A little walk along SM Beauty Section led me to a new found love for pink lipstick. Let me introduce my new baby love,  Maybelline Honey Nectar! This lipstick is Maybelline's Pink Alert collectio and I am really in awe of how pretty this one looks on me. COLOR: Maybelline Honey Nectar is straight up bright pink color that is leaning towards feaushia fuchia feachia fuchsia s...

Inspired by Mona Lisa Smile: Christian Dior Rouge Dolce Vita 014

Once a gay friend told me, "Red lipstick is so back then." I immediately replied back and told him a true lady would say otherwise. For a real woman, red lipstick is a timeless weapon to look and feel beautiful. My first lipstick is a red one and up until now, even if I have other shades of lipsticks, red will always be on my stash. So, today, I thought of highlighting the most precious red lipstick I own, my precious baby,  Christian Dior’s Rouge Dolce Vita in #014. Timeless as it is, the inspiration for today's lipstick is the movie The Mona Lisa Smile which is set in 1950's. Just like the girls in the movie,  Christian Dior’s Rouge Dolce Vita in #014 is not in-your-face retro red lipstick because it has a slight hint of orange. Source "That's a snapshot"- Mona Lisa Smile It has a semi-matte finish but very creamy, it glides smoothly on the lips when applied. This is not for the faint heart because it is too striking and...

L.A. Girl Pro Conceal HD High Definition Concealer

Happy Halloween Everyone!!! I know that most of you are celebrating the dead these days (horror films, zombies, monsters, vampires, white ladies, scary dolls, etcetera), but my Mama is celebrating her birth, contrary to the holiday, so let me just give her a little shout out "Happy Birthday, Mama!" Okay, now that's done. let us go back to make-up talk. Today, I am doing another product review and this time, we'll be talking about concealers. I honestly don't have prominent eye bags, so a little foundation can cover up the redness of my under eye area. But, I always include concealing as a part of my make-up routine because I love how it brightens a tired face and how it immediately creates a flawless skin. As you can see in this photo, the right one has no concealer on, while the left one has  L.A. Girl Pro Concealer  applied on the under eye area. See how it immediately brightens the face? Take note that I am not wearing anything- no foundation, no powd...

Pray for the Philippines

I am not so much of a patriotic kind but the recent devastation caused by Typhoon Yolanda/Haiyan led me to care about my country, the Philippines. We weren't directly hit by the storm surge since we are living far from Tacloban City but I felt really involved in this massive tragedy. Days before Yolanda came, different warnings were announced regarding the typhoon. We were told to keep safe. I also remembered listening to different guidelines on how to survive the typhoon. November 8 came, it was a Friday. I've read from social media sites that Yolanda officially entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility. There were heavy rains here in Manila but it wasn't too strong to kill a person but I've seen some "personal" videos posted on the Internet on how strong the typhoon was in other parts of the country. I got scared. The next morning, weather in Manila was perfect. It was windy and sunny at the same time. I remembered staying in our terrace and ...
