I am back!! :D I got this palette as part of a prize from Cheysser's Contest. The colors are really wearable but not too pigmented except for the beautiful black shadow with pink shimmers (sadly the shimmers does not show much.. :C)
Like the name suggests, the palette contains colors that are perfect for daytime and even night time look. However, I find this palette powdery for my taste.
Here is a swatch of the palette:
^^The white eyeshadow is perfect for highlighting the brow bone
Here is an fotd of the palette that I did:
^^pardon the crappy pic because it was not that sunny and bright outside my room.. hence, the poor picture quality.
Other Products Used:
All Natural Face Primer
Elf Studio line eyebrow kit in dark
Avon Black Pencil LIner
Maybelline Great lash mascara
Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Liner
Also, I am planning on giving myself a simple treat this christmas.. NYX or Etude House Haul?? What do you think?? Godbless everyone..

Happy Holidays everyone!! I am sort of back in a blogging world momentarily.. I am too lazy to do anything lately.. I am just eating and sleeping all day.. This is life.. hehe.. First of all, I would like to thank everyone who still follows my blog even though I am always missing in action and much love to all my readers out there. Anyways, here is a very quick review about Missha's The Style Face Powder. I am not in much need of loose or finishing powder powder because I absolutely love Ellana's White Chocolate Sheer Velvet Mineral Powder Primer but I was really lured by its price. I bought this on ebay for only 250 pesos!! Missha has opened here in the Philippines a few months back but I have heard that their prices are really steep just like skinfood's. I really did not expect that its container is big.
20 grams
This comes in three shades. I got shade:#2.
The powder puff that came with it is very useful. I am using it in applying my powder foundation.
What I love about this product:
(What I dislike about this product)
^^ It looks way lighter than my skintone.
^^It blended well on my skin since the coverage was really sheer.
The Importance of watermarking your pictures:
Watermark: a pattern of bits inserted into a digital image, audio or video file that identifies the file's copyright information (author, rights, etc.). The name comes from the faintly visible watermarks imprinted on stationery that identify the manufacturer of the stationery. The purpose of digital watermarks is to provide copyright protection for intellectual property that's in digital format. (http://www.watermark-software.com)
I was browsing on ebay a while ago and I was looking for a NYX cream blush when I chanced upon this listing:
My jaw dropped immediately!! hahaha.. I actually do not know if I should be pissed or mighty proud because someone is borrowing my photos without any credits whatsoever to moi!!! Just a little credit to my blog will do. Thank god I had the name of my blog on this picture. I really think bloggers should watermark CONSPICUOUSLY!! This is to protect your works from people who casually grab someone else's work without any word or anything.I think this is utterly offensive.
***I am not prohibiting anyone from using my pictures.. Just ask and I would appreciate sharing it with you or just put credits to my blog.***

What I love about this product:
- It brightens and evens out my skin color.
- I look fresh using it. I use this to seal my bb creams in place.
- The container is huge (imo...) and it was filled upto the lid.
(What I dislike about this product)
- I hate the scent!! It smelled like my grandma's perfume!!
- The coverage is too sheer for my taste. I can't use this alone. I just use this as my everyday finishing powder.
- I actually do not know if this is locally available since I just bought online.

Hi everyone.. I finally own a pair of geo contact lens!! wheeww.. I was lemming for this thing since I have known about it but I was too afraid to try it .. Chicken no more.. haha.. Well, I got this on sale for 550 pesos from this fashion11 multiply shop. I was going to get geo angel brown but it was oos so i got angel grey instead. I love it!! I made my eyes look bigger. It was my very first time to use contact lens and I spent 30 mins. putting it on!! haha.. I was about to cry when I figured out I don't know how to remove it.. Thanks to youtube for the tutorials. in terms of comfort, I somehow felt that I do not have any lens on,, After a few hours I really felt weird using it.. I will probably will not be able to wear the whole day.. The feeling was really distracting.. yay..
Here is the proof:
^^ Pardon my eye bags.. I took the picture without any makeup on.
Here is my simple fotd using the lens..
Products Used:
180 pro palette
the all natural eye primer
maybelline great lash mascara
maybelline gel liner
avon black liner
Have great and blessed day everyone.. :D

Skinfood Gingko Green BB Crean
50 grams
A moisturizing base made with the essential ingredients of green tea, ginkgo leaf, Vitamin B and lecithin for nutritional benefits to the skin. Provides light coverage. Suitable for all skin types.
Hi everyone,, Just a quick post with regard Skinfood Gingko Green BB Cream. I purchased this online for 525 pesos. I was really confused in choosing which bb cream variant from skinfood is the best. And well, I got the most unliked of all 4 which is Ginkgo BB cream. This is the least purchased of all Skinfood bb creams here in the Philippines and like others say also in Korea because this has no SPF. I heard Skinfood outlets here have not been stocking up on this product due to low sales. Actually, I bought this due to Khymm's enticing review. The consistency of this bb cream is way thicker than Missha's Perfect Cover bb cream. At first, I find a hard time using this . I find it really hard to blend. In the long run, I have mastered the technique of applying it (i initially apply a thin layer of moisturizer) and right now I am really loving it!!!I have been using this from the moment I got it. It really brightens my face after application. Compare to Missha which oxidizes on me (i really find it weird because lately everytime I used my Missha my face turns dark and dull.. I don't know why.. As far as I know I am not acidic..) The coverage is sheer to medium. Further, I love that it keeps my powder stay put (Disclaimer: Take note I have dry skin. Others say that its oil control is not good at all.. ). It is also scented with light almond fragrance.. Not alluring at all in my opinion but bearable because the scent is really not that overpowering. Nevertheless, I will not repurchased this product since I wanted to try other bb creams.

My kitty (kuting in local parlance.. ) Her name is Charm.. I think she badly needs a bath!! Hahaha
