Quick Update

Hello ladies, how's the holiday season? :) I hope you're enjoying it. Sorry for not updating my blog always. I was kinda not in the mood to post new entries but I'm reading your recent blog posts though. :D

Anyway, my Christmas was great. We prepared lots of foods eventhough it's just mom and I who'll eat them all since Dad and my elder brother are in Dubai. LOL. And yes, I'm kinda gaining weight. Urrrgh. :( I'm not regretting it though coz I believe we have all the time to be skinny when we're already dead. Morbid much? HAHA.

Okay, so I'll just share some of my vanity pictures during Christmas. Hehe.









And some close-up shots of my eye makeup.. :D I used a green, red and a lil gold e/s to make it more christmas-y :D





Take care lovelies! (:

Package from HK :)

Mom woke me up when someone called up and was looking for me. It was from the post office and they told me that I have a package from HK. I was kinda puzzled of what that package could be when in fact I wasn't really expecting for a package to arrive. The guy on the other line told me that he thinks it was a ring coz it's a small box. My mom, being a lil psycho, thought I have a BF from HK and was kinda proposing or something. And so, I laughed---- REALLY hard! Ooooh... sometimes, mothers are kinda overacting with things. HAHA. Hey mom, I'm still turning 18. Duuuh? LOL. :D:D:D

And so, I went to the post office and paid 30 pesos. Urrrgh. Anyway, I hurriedly opened the said package when I arrived home. Here's what I've got. :D




Oh, that's a cute box...





Oooh yes, I instantly remembered that it was one of the prizes of beautyandgroomingtips' giveaway. I won her giveaway and was kinda amused of it. :D I already received the two prices:


the e-book


and this cute earrings.... :D:D:D

I'm still waiting for the two prices to arrive. The price I've been waiting for which are.....


The Lash Mantra Eyelash Growth Serum


Malibu Secret Anti-aging body cream

Thanks again Aparna!

Maybe you're wondering why the goodies didn't arrive at the same time? It's because Aparna had different sponsors for her giveaway. The sponsors are from different countries. Anyway, I'm still willing to wait for the two prizes to arrive.. :D:D:D Weeeehooo..

LOTW: Glam Queen

This site is so addicting. You should check it out yourself beauty junkies. Click HERE to design your own looks. Hehe. I'm sure you'll be addicted of it too. :D



I entitled this look as "Glam Queen". I only used two colors: red and black coz I'm really fascinated by them. They're classy to look at. And I made it as plain as possible so that it won't look like over dressed. :D

I wish I could wear this look but I can't coz people might laugh at me and hellloooo, Pilipinas po ito.. walang winter chuva. HAHAHA :)

That's it bloggers. Check out that site. :D

Dollface 56 color eyeshadow palette

Woohooo. It's my first time to have a palette as big as this. I mean, more like an MUA's palette. :D

I was kinda feeling lucky to live in Cebu coz Dollface cosmetics is based here. So no problem with the shipping fee and the shipping itself which will most likely be a risk coz it COULD break the palette. :D

Anyway, here's my 56-palette from Dollface cosmetics. :D

And you know what makes me feel even luckier? I got this palette for only 400 pesos from the original price of 900 pesos. It has slight damages though, like the two colors have little cracks; but it isn't really a big deal to me. Ain't that cool? :)

Thanks Ate Pearl. Til next transaction. :D
