FAVORITES: August 2012.

Is it really September?! You guys aren't tripping me huh?! HAHA It isn't true that August ended already. I cannot believe it, I swear! I know I say it a lot, but it's crazy! I don't know if you guys feel it too, but this year is flying extra fast!

Anyways, I am here to share with you guys the stuffs I have been loving for the past month of August. I know, it feels like I just posted my July Favorites last night. :D Some of the things I will mention are rediscovered or already mentioned on my past favorites. And some are new, I guess. :) Let's rock and roll! ♥

1. Watsons Deep Cleansing Nose Pore Tape

This stuff really works! I will do an in depth review on this baby soon. :) 

2. Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser

I started using this 3 years ago. And this was the MIRACLE product that helped me with my acne. I stopped using this last June to try out a few products. And when I got this major breakout ( that I still have. ) I have decided to pull this out again and use it. It helped me! It calmed my skin down. But it is really really bad that I needed something stronger. But this baby, AH! I love it! It is a bit expensive but it is worth the money. 

3. Queen Helen Mint Julep Masque

This helped me calm my acne also. I used it together with my Cetaphil, they worked. I will/might do a review on it soon, as well. :)

4. FX Heat Memory Flat Iron Spray

I love using this stuff cause it made ironing my hair easier. And it is a heat protectant as well. It also makes my straightened hair last a bit longer. 

5. Bench So in Love Moisturizing Lotion

Still, I love this for the month of August. I love how "romantic" it smells. :D

6. Zen Zest Eau de Toilette in Tangerine

This has a sweet scent to it that I really love. The scent isn't overwhelming though. It smells really calm. Love it for every day!

7. Zen Zest Eau de Cologne in Seduce

I have mentioned this a few times already. I am obsessed with this scent. It smells crispy but not over powering. It also has a sweet scent to it. 

8. Ever Bilena Advance Studio Finish Stick Foundation in Beige

This one has a good coverage. I love that it makes your skin look glowing and smoother. I have break outs this past month, that's why I need to really cover it up. This bad boy is awesome! I used to use it back in high school and early last year. I love it since then. But I just rediscovered it now.

9. James Cooper Jazzy Collection Cream Foundation in CF 03

This also offers a very nice coverage. I love that I don't need a lot of product to cover up my acnes and blemishes. It also makes your skin look glowing. It is cream that's why you need to set it with powder.

10 Ever Bilena Advance 3D Compact in Dark Baked Fusion

I have mentioned it in my past posts already. I use this one to set my foundation in place. I love that it doesn't make your face look cakey. And lasting power is pretty good. 

11. ELF Bronzer 

I don't need to explain. I love this one! I loved my Pretty Young Thin, but this is my first love. 

12. Ever Bilena Mousse Concealer

This covers really well. It is a mousse, so I think that's one reason why it covers my blemishes really good. 

13. Ever Bilena Blush in Raisin

I love this one ever since I got it. It gives you a fresh natural looking glow. Lasting power isn't that good though. But I still love it. 

14. BOB Super Curl Mascara from Taiwan

This is awesome! I will review it and show you guys how amazing this product is! 

15 NYX JEP in Milk

I have yet to review this. But it is really a good eye shadow base. 

16. Nichido Kohl Pencil in Onyx

Just like last month. :) I love the pigmentation. And it is perfect for tight lining. 

17. NYX Matte in Shocking Pink

Rekindled love affair?! haha yes! I absolutely am wearing this one a lot lately. I'm running out of it though, that's why I am trying to use it less often. :) 

18. Maybelline ColorSensational in Fifth Ave Fuchsia

LOVE IT! ♥

19. Carmex Lip Balm

OH HELLO!!! Isn't it obvious?! :D

20 ELF Mechanical Lash Curler

It really curls the lashes. PLUS it's very cheap and affordable. It feels sturdy and it will last you a long time. 

21 Fashion21 Big Blending Brush

I use this as an all over eye brush. I use this for the lids, crease and for blending. It is very multi functional. Very cheap as well!

22. Marionnaud N32 Blush Brush

My first ever brush! I love this one too. It can be used as a foundation brush, blush brush and a lot more. I love how dense and soft it is. Amazing for the price!

FAVORITE MOVIE/SERIES

 ♥GOSSIP GIRL

I haven't watched any movies this month. But I have been so addicted to Gossip Girl AGAIN! For the nth time. HA HA! I finished season 1 -5 for less than 2 months late last year/early this year. 

And now, I started all over again from season 1. It's like my 3rd of 4th time repeating it. haha It is very addicting!

FAVORITE YOUTUBER

 ♥ emilynoel83

I just started watching her recently. And her videos are super informative. They are very interesting and she looks very nice. I love her already!

FAVORITE BLOGGER

♥ Miss Iya Boto of From Nails to Makeup

I have been reading her blog a lot. :) She is actually one of my new friends. She is a year older than me but she looks younger! She is like my new sister! Super sweet, nice and pretty!

FAVORITE FOOD/SNACK

♥Pocky Strawberry

I love it ever since high school. And this month, I have been craving and eating this one a lot! hehe I love it! YUMMYNESS!

Random : All about my Lipsticks [ Lipstick collection, Favorite lipstick and Lipstick Tag ]

As you guys already know, I am a huge lipstick fan! At first, it wasn't my thing. I was okay with a powder and blush, but then I discovered lipsticks. And holy macaroni!! I think it is one of the most beautiful thing ever created! They make me happy. Every time I feel down, I put them all out and swatch them all over and over again. ( LOL. Weird?! ) I don't really understand why, but it makes me feel better. Being an "impulsive" buyer, I was more on the quantity than the quality. But I have a learned a lot that's why I am planning on investing on products with better quality ( even if it's expensive. YES! ) 

A month ago, I asked on FB if you guys recommend a fun tag that I should do. And Miss Nicole Paler of Axons and Dendrites recommended me this tag that she saw on KIKAYSIMARIA's blog. I think it's really a fun tag, and it's so me! So, I am doing it now! ♥

As of the moment, I have 34 lipsticks/lip tints on hand. I haven't used all of them, well 80 percent of them. NOT EVEN ONCE! Bad?! I know! And I also am aware that a lot of you or other bloggers have more lipsticks than I do, and they have better quality ones. But I just want to share with you guys what I have for more than a year of collecting makeup. :)

July 2o12 Haul!

I didn't see this coming. HAHA Remember when I told you guys that I'm saving blah blah?!? Well, I am quite failing. GRABE! For the past few weeks I was really REALLY avoiding the mall. AS IN TALAGA! But today Chuchay needed her haircut and at the same time my family and some of my relatives from my mom's side decided to have lunch together. So, we went to SM [ Mall of Asia ] to do those. And I knew it! The moment I stepped on Watsons, its done! hehe. 


Have you guys experienced that? Once you started to buy one stuff, you just can't stop yourself anymore. THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED! Lalo na sa Watsons!!! hehe I admit, I am an impulsive buyer [ most of the time ]. A little bit of sale stalk, then I'll be like YES, SURE, OKAY, I'll get it!  I think I have a serious problem here. hahahaha


ANYWAYS! Enough of the talking. [ nasarapan sa kwento! :D ] 
Let's proceed to my haul, yeah? :) 

So, those are the things I got. 

Muka ba kong nagiipon??!? SERIOUSLY?! :P 

I got 3 things from the brand 4U2. I only wanted to try their powder, but I end up getting 2 more! Congrats to me! hehe And the mirror is free. When you buy 3 products, I think you'll get 1 free mirror. 

Watsons, Mall of Asia ( main mall, beside National Bookstore )

1.4U2 Dreamgirl Faith BB Cream [ Universal Color ] 

I bought this because the lady there "sales talked" me. haha I don't know if that makes sense. She said it's a nice base for the powder and blah blah. We'll see. 

So, I think it is only available in just 1 shade. It retails for Php 184.00 .

2.  4U2 Dreamgirl Lovelight BB Powder [ number 3 ]

Available in 3 shades, I believe. I got it for Php 194.00

3. 4U2 Dreamgirl Together Double blush [ number 4 ]

I bought it because SHE also said it's good. haha 

I think they have 5 different shades. It is Php 194.00 as well. 

And then these are the few other makeup products I got. 

WnW and EB from Watsons, Mall of Asia ( main mall, beside National Bookstore )

Kokuryu and Maybelline from Watsons, Mall of Asia ( Department Store )

4. Wet n Wild Coloricon [ TRIO ] in Walking on Eggshells

I got it for Php 319.00.

5. Ever Bilena Matte lipstick in Mauvey and Love that Red 

[ these are not for me ;) ] 

6. Kokuryu Summer Cake in Sunset Tan 

I got this cause a I heard some good reviews about it. Its cheap and I want to test it out. :) 

Retails for Php 99.00

7. Maybelline Colorsensational in Fifth Ave. Fuchsia

I saw this from thebeautyjunkee. And when I saw it on her, I knew I need to buy it! hehe

It is for Php. 399.00

And then I remembered that I really want to try out the Lory's hair cream thingy, so I went to the other Watsons near the cinema to get it. But I ended up buying a few more stuffs. HOORAY! hehe

Nichido lashes and Fashion 21 lashes and empty cream jars from Watsons, Mall of Asia ( main mall, beside National Bookstore ) 

Nichido sponge from Watsons, Mall of Asia ( Department Store ) 

The rest from Watsons, Mall of Asia ( at the back, near the cinema ) 

8. Nichido tru lashes in Glamorous Lashes in black. 

I seriously didn't know that it costs Php 150.00 until just NOW. 

9. Fashion21 Natural look eyelashes 

They only have 1 design/style. It costs Php 65.00

10. Watsons Deep Cleansing Nose Pore Strip

Retails for Php 109.00

11. Mini Razors ( that's not the name, I just made that up. hehe. The words are in japanese form )

This costs Php. 79.75 

12. Lory's Deep Moisturizing hair cream in Fruit Cocktail

They only have 4 "flavors" available there. I was hoping to get the Chocolate one but they don't have it and this is the only on that has a decent smell on it. There's this snake tail/skin thingy and shea butter, and I forgot the other one. 

450 g for Php 185.00

13. Empty Cream Jars

I will use it for a DIY. hehe I bought almost all of them for the BLOG's sake! hehe. 

I got it for Php 79.75

14. Nichido sponge 

I got this for my Kokuryu foundation. I don't even know why I need to bought one! hehe 

It cost me Php 40.00 

15. Solemate shoes ( department store )

Buy 2 pairs for Php 399.75

So, I have another FAIL story for you guys. I am normally size 8 or 8 and a half. I tried the brown one there, and they only have size 9. They look pretty decent. Not too big at all, it looks perfect when I tried it on. And then I looked for a newer pair, cause the one I tried has some little damage. And then the blue floral one is also size 9 and its a perfect fit! 

When I got home, I tried it on and the brown is TOO big for me already! It's impossible. And it made me sad. So, I just gave it to my younger sister who has a bigger size than me. BUMMER!!! 

So, that's it for my UNEXPECTED haul. hehe I enjoyed shopping, YES. But I don't feel good being an impulsive buyer. Sometimes it makes me realize how UNIMPORTANT some of the things I bought are. I still need to learn to control and be wiser. Especially every time I go inside Watsons. There's just something about Watsons that makes me feel like I need to buy something every time I go there. And it isn't good. I really want to kinda change that. 

:) 

Do you guys ever feel that too? COMMENT BELOW! Let's chat! :)

my RED lipsticks.

"Beauty, to me, is about being comfortable on your own skin.

That, or a a kick-ass red lipstick. "

                                                          --Gwyneth Paltrow

I am not a big fan of RED lipsticks. I am more of a pink and nude kind of girl. Maybe because most of the time I just want to keep everything simple. I thought RED is too much. I wasn't sure on how to pull it off. But as I explore more and discover more, I realized that every time I wear bright colored lipsticks, especially red ones, I feel more energized. It makes me feel more alive and more beautiful. It really brightens my mood. I also like wearing my red lipsticks when I feel lazy. :D I'll just put my foundation on then mascara. And then bright lipstick, I'M DONE! :) 

Red lipstick is like the LBD. It is a MUST-HAVE in every girls makeup stash. 

Here are the 6 RED lipsticks that I own. ♥ 

L-R Loreal Infallibe Lip Color in Beyonce's Red , Ever Bilena Matte lipstick in Scarlet, Ever Bilena Matte lipstick in Love that Red, NYX Round Lipstick in Snow White, NYX Round lipstick in Hero and Ever Bilena Pro Longwear lipstick in Eager

I don't use all of them because I don't think that all of them look good on me. 

Looking for the perfect shade of red for your skin tone is actually trial and error. 

NOT BECAUSE IT LOOK GOOD ON OTHER PEOPLE, DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT WILL ALSO LOOK GOOD ON YOU.

Knowing your skin tone is a huge help in looking for the right shade of red that will suit you. ♥

Hand Swatches

1 and 2.  NYX RLS in Hero and Snow White - NYX's RLS are so creamy. Hero is obviously lighter than Snow White. I think that this is shade is a perfect RED. I mean I am not sure of the undertone or whatever but whenever I see this color, I know it is red. [ I hope you guys get that. hehe ]

Snow White is pretty! It is darker than the previous one but it really add a statement to your look. It is perfect for night outs and formal events. It looks fine on me as well. Not good, not bad. :)

 

3. EB Pro Longwear lipstick in Eager - I find this lipstick a bit drying than the Matte ones. I don't know why but I like the Matte ones better. I used it once so I can't review it that much. But it is a gorgeous red with a pink undertone. It kinda looks a bit fuchsia on the picture.

4 and 5. EB Matte Lipsticks in Love that Red and Scarlet - Love that Red is my favorite out of the bunch. It is a gorgeous red with a little bit of blue undertone. Its not too dark and not too RED as well. I love it. I think it really compliments my skin tone. 

Scarlet - It is an orange-y kind of red. It makes me look a bit darker than my skintone so I don't use it as much. I used it during the summer time and I think its perfect. 

EB matte lippies are a bit drying, but with a good lip balm... PERFECT! ♥

6. Loreal Infallible lip color in Beyonce's Red - I think this color is the perfect definition for the word, RED! It is RED! The color is bright and gorgeous! Every time I wear it, people will lokk at me and they are like.... WHOA! hehe.

It is gorgeous! I love how it is long lasting and kiss proof! :) It won't go anywhere, I promise! It is a bit drying that's why you need to keep on applying the lip balm. 

It will flake when you use another lip balm or any other oil based product. Even if you eat oily foods, you will see it flake. But I love the packaging and everything else! :) 

You need to have the confidence to wear this color cause it is really a statement color.

So, those are my RED lippies. I don't own a lot but I want to try out a lot more red shades. Especially the darker ones. I really think it looks better on me than the lighter, orange-y ones. :)

Just one quick tip. :) In wearing RED or any bright colored lipstick, make sure to NOT overdo it. If you want to wear red lips for the day, make sure that you put just a minimal amount of blush and eyeshadow. You don't want to look like a clown, do you? :)
