I was cleaning my makeup drawer this morning when I started swatching my lipsticks. I had the Mac Hug Me lipstick for quite but I barely use it. I find the color too light for my skintone. While swatching, I noticed that Fashion 21 Aqualicious Arctic stone is almost the same shade as MAC's Hug Me!! See my post hereabout Fashion 21 Aqualicious lipstick.
They look almost identical when worn on the lips!! Yey!!
When swatched, it is fairly noticeable that MAC Hug Me is sheerer and glossier than the Fashion 21. I used Fashion 21 more since it is more pigmented and covers my dark lips better. Do you know of any MAC dupes? Care to share? Have a nice day everyone.
I finally got my picture taken for the yearbook a while ago. YAY! I was late for the photo shoot appointment and I also experienced one of the hottest day here in Manila!! I did my makeup in this picture. I want everything to look natural. I wanted to contour my nose more but I was afraid that I might look so fake with it.
The photographer almost forgot to take a wacky pose of me. I insisted and she gave me two shots. haha
Ohhh the power of persuasion.. These are raw photo files from the photo studio so pardon the messy hair. Do you see my jeans underneath this shawl?? hehe

Oh anyways, I want to clear something. I am not closing this blog because some anonymous hater spoiled my day. I will just be blogging less for the next seven months to come. I will be reviewing for the Bar exams. I would like to thank everyone who commented on my previous post. Thank you so much for your positive thoughts. I need that now. Also, I removed my formspring widget!! woohoo.. I do not need negative vibes!!! That's the last thing we all need. To those who have questions or suggestions please feel free to email me or like my FB page. From now on, No anonymous coward will be entertained.
I had three invites turned down because of school. Sad noh? I cannot compromise law school with events like this. I got an email a week ago from Veet inviting me to a lunch at Via Mare with Daniel Matsunaga. I said Yes of course.. Who would not want to meet a hottie on a sizzling summer afternoon. This Hottie is definitely a catch!! Too bad he's already taken.. haha He is so nice and humble. Definete;y not a snob like most actors out there!!
Remember this youtube scandal? A video that instantly attracted thousands of viewers overnight! I actually believed it was real!! Yay!!If it were not for the email of Veet, I will never know that this is just a promotional ad for VeetMe win a date with Daniel Matsunaga. Blame law school for my hermit type of life!! Kudos to this video because it was definitely a hype.

I got the following treats from Veet! To tell you honestly, I barely shave and I never had a wax (ever)!! I have sparse hair almost invisible on my legs and arms. I used to shave if I will attend special gatherings but not monthly. After having lunch with Ms. Issa Marfori, I am now decided to use veet instead of shaving. I tried the hair removal cream on my brother legs and he was amazed! He had the silliest reaction ever!! hahaha I wanted to use the cold wax strips on his developing mustache but he gave a big NO!! haha I wanted to do it while he was sleeping but being a barrister I need to be nice.. haha I am such a meanie. I know!
VEET HAIR REMOVAL CREAM
Veet Hair Removal Cream is a silky and easy to apply cream that comes in three variants: Normal (for skin that is moist, smooth and supple), Dry (for poorly hydrated skin) and Sensitive (for skin prone to irritation and allergic reactions). Veet Hair Removal Cream is suitable for use on legs, arms, underarms and bikini line. The results last twice as long as shaving and re-growth is significantly smoother. With Veet Hair Removal Cream, there is no stubble, unsightly ingrown hair or painful cuts and nicks.
VEET READY TO USE COLD WAX STRIPS
For longer-lasting results, Veet Ready to Use Cold Wax Strips do away with time-consuming and messy waxing kits. The wax stays on the strip, doesn't burn and leaves less wax residue on the skin. Best of all, hair re-growth takes up to 4 weeks. Veet Ready to Use Cold Wax Strips are suitable for use on legs, arms, underarms, bikini line and face. There's even cold wax strip for the face and other small, hard-to-reach areas such as eyebrows, upperlip and armpits. Veet Ready to Use Cold Wax Strips can also remove hair as short as 2mm. No need to wait for hair to grow an inch! (from Veet's website)
Get ready to strut your stuff this summer.
Hello teeny weeny bikinis!!
Veet is a definite must have this summer.
Jamie, I, and Liz
It was such a wonderful experience seeing these people. I finally met Liz of www.projectvanity.com. I was really in awe when I met her. She was wearing this gorgeous ensemble. She was definitely a fashionista and she looks so sophisticated. This is the second time I met Jamie of www.mizzmakeup.com. She is really a beauty. I was utterly mesmerized by her beautiful skin. (I am not a tomboy!! I just appreciate beauty..hihi)
