BDJ FAIR 2015

This is my third time to go to this yearly event hosted by BDJ. First time, I went with a friend (Well, hello Ghem!). The next one, boyfie was with me. This time, I decided to just go by myself . I tried to maximize the event so I spent the whole afternoon going from one booth to another. I also pre-registered to two talks/seminars to get an insight or two. If you haven't heard of them yet, BDJ is a community of empowered bellas. Actually, it all started with a kikay planner- The Belle de jour Power planner. Then a community was formed involving mostly users of planners and  kikay girls alike. As for me, I've been a BDJ planner user for five years. I go to the event (if time allows me to) because this is where I can buy the new and upcoming planner in a much lower price compared to its selling price. I bought my new planner for only 500 pesos as opposed to its original selling price of 580. Also, the event is actually pretty cool. You can go around, win some fu...

Review: Ben Nye Banana Powder

WHAT: Ben Nye Luxury Powder in BANANA HOW MUCH: 799pesos/ 42 grams WHERE: Pure Beauty Trinoma, Rustans, and other online stores HOW: Using a powder brush, dust it off on the face to set the whole makeup.  Hello everyone!    I'm back to give a little review on a product that got massive rave because of its popularity among celebrities specifically Kim Kardashian. She is known for her strategically-highlighted face and it has been said that she's been using BEN NYE BANANA POWDER to achieve this.  So, what's with this little yellow jar thang anyway? Why is it any different from any other setting powder? FAST THOUGHTS: - Beautiful yellow shade.  I've been using this on my clients and it fits perfectly for those who have yellow undertone. If you are a morena, you should definitely have this in your kit. It is effin amazing. (Pak na pak ang makeup mo, day! Promise!) -They say it is silky but as I carefully examine (y...

Curly Find: Dove Nourishing Curls Whipped Cream Mousse

Living in a country where straight hair rules, finding a good styling product for the curly hair is such a pain in the ey-ess-ess. For the past few months, I've been experimenting on different hair products, mixing and jumbling all sorts of creams, mousse, gels, etc etc. Product after product, layers after layers.  I honestly sometimes feel like going back to straight hair is way easier and economical, than spending so much money on hair products, but then I do love my current buhahag hairstyle- I feel some sense of uniqueness and personality with this kind of hair- so I think I wold just go on with this journey and just enjoy every part of it. So, today, I thought I would share my experience with this Dove Nourishing Curls Whipped Cream Mousse.  This is by far, my favorite mousse cream for my curly hair. Let me tell you some of my opinions regarding this product.  1. SMELL - Oh. Goodness. I love the smell of this one right out of the can. This is...

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 ...

Jazzy Collections Eyebrow Gel

I was doing a little stroll along beauty section when the sales assistant asked me, "Ma'am, ano pong nilagay niyo sa kilay nio, ang ganda kasi e, sanay na sanay kayo magkilay..." "Maam, what product did you use on your eyebrows? You are really good on doing your brows!"  Truth is, I wasn't always this good with brows. I had my fair share of uneven brows, messy brows, overplucked, bushy, wrong shape, wrong curves. But by having those mistakes, I learned how to perfect my brows, I learned by doing, which I think is one of the most important thing when it comes to make-up. You learn every single time you do it. I still do mistakes from time to time, and I am still improving every single day, but I guess that's just the beauty of make-up. Sometimes, you've created a masterpiece, sometimes, you've created a trash... in that way, you enhance your skills. Okay,did I just became very sentimental about eyebrows? Yes, I did. Anyways,  ...

Wedding Bliss: Wedding Souvenirs

Today's Wedding Bliss episode will be short and sweet. Just sharing with you our souvenirs during our Wedding. I wanted to give something unique for my principal sponsors and I have been eyeing succulents/cacti during our wedding preps. Good thing, I have a friend who sells cacti and she gave me huge discount for each pot. If you want the same souvenir, you may contact PLANTS ON CUPS on their FB Page . The owner, She, will be happy to rearrange plants according to your preference. This little one is for our wedding guests. We actually wanted something either reusable or edible. Who doesn't like to receive a jar of delicious jam, right? Beerenberg is known to supply 5-star hotels around the metro so we thought this sample size is perfect for our guests to have a taste of fine dining. Also, I think they could reuse the jar for whatever purpose they like. We just attached a little "Thank You Card" for a little bit of presentation. We bought our Beerenberg J...
