I was polishing and cleaning a bunch of shoes in my closet a while ago because I will be hunting for a job. (Finally!! I know my parents are soo happy when I announced this to them. Haha). Oh please someone hire me!! haha These shoes have been there like forever and I have not even used most of them. I am not into heels. Why? because I am very clumsy and I walk like a gangster. In local parlance "siga ako umasta." Yes, I love makeup and I am maarte but that does not mean I am very posh and graceful!! Hell no! How I wish I was noh. I think I have more boyish ways than girlish attitude from eating habits to walking. And you do not want to hear my big deep voice. I sound so gay most of the times. haha I remembered that when I wore my favorite high heels in school before;I fell down from the stairs. Guess who is in the background of that scene (my law school crushie.. Yes I have a crush noh! And I told my boyfriend for 10 years about him.. haha I know I am such a weirdo.. I have the guts to write this on my blog because that guy was so last 2 years ago.. haha ) Anyways, those are my two favorite heels. The Calvin Klein one looks perfect in any outfit. Be it a dress or jeans. My favorite brand of high heels - Naturalizer. I can walk, run and even jump wearing them. hehe They feel so comfortable. |

I know animal prints are everywhere. I am loving them too. I never thought I will be into them. I even remember seeing grandmothers wear these kind of prints before. I am now in the process of overhauling my closet. I am incorporating more formal and professional looking clothes!! I feel so old. Waahh. I am having a hard time buying clothes.We are advised by my grandmother that we must not wear clothes with happy shades/colors like red, pink, orange and the like because of my grandfather's death. This will be for one year. I came from an average and very traditional Filipino family and I respect this custom of ours. |

I was supposed to do a makeup tutorial blog post about this look. I just added falsies for drama but you can do this look for 5 mins. only I only use one shade of eyeshadow!! This is a very quick and natural look for everyday. I was not very happy with the turn out of the photos. I did this look this evening. Look at my brows looking tacky with foundation. Waah. I need to fix my brows asap. I am having a hard time filling them with brow powder. |
|
More of this quick makeup look soon. |
Godbless everyone!

Just a quick post to share with you my excitement over these goodies!! I cannot wait to get my Revlon Lip Butters!! The pictures are from my aunt. Another great news is that these lip butters are now available at our local department store priced at around 500 plus pesos!! yay! A bit pricey don't you think? But with all the raves out there for this lip butters, I think they are worth it! I wonder when will this foundation be available locally? |

Hello everyone!! How was your weekend? I hope you had a wonderful time with your family and loved ones and celebrated Sunday with God. I received an email from Ms. Dia weeks ago about these Myra E goodies. I was busy with my grandfather at the hospital and was not able to meet her personally (I asked our driver to pick up these goodies instead). Thank you again Ms. Dia. When our driver handed me the paper bag, I was thrilled to receive a lot of Myra Vita Glow Moisturizer!! I will be sharing these to my Philippine readers!! :)) I have tried this Myra Vita Glow tinted moisturizer a year ago (I think) but I was not able to do a review about it (I do not know why). |
|
This is a very affordable tinted moisturzer. It only costs 135 pesos per tube. It is vitamin E enriched. It has SPF 15 too. It has minerals mainly referring to the tiny shimmers which gives you that glow but I am not a fan of these shimmers. The best thing about it is that it is hypo-allergenic and dermatologist tested. For me, it is now my everyday makeup base. It feels so light on my skin. It does a good job of giving my skin an even finish. The coverage is sheer to light. Thus, do not exepect this to cover your dark circles, sun spots and stubborn blemishes. The consistency and texture is nice. It can be a bit runny but it blends well on my skin. |
|
There are only two shades which is Ivory and Beige. |
|
|
|
Ivory is perfect for yellow toned girls while Beige is perfect for those with darker tones.
|
Ivory/Beige |
|

The first shade I tried was Beige but I find that it a bit dark on my skin. I can actually use Ivory or Beige but I prefer Ivory. As you can see in this picture, the moisturizer changes its color after blending. Here is a quick tip: To know your shade, take a teeny weeny drop and blend it on your jawline then wait for a few seconds for it to dry. You will see that the shade will show better after the moisturizer have already dried on your skin.

Here is the proof. |

What I love about this tinted moisturizer:
- Very affordable. It only costs 135 pesos for 35ml tube.
- It is perfect for everyday wear. I am not a fan of heavy foundations for everyday wear. You must let your skin breathe (as for me, that is a MUST). I use this as my everyday makeup base.
- It has SPF 15. :))
- It evens out my skin tone. I apply this in a tapping motion since I discovered that I get more coverage when I apply it that way.
- It does not feel sticky on the skin. Perfect for our humid weather.
- I did not experience any rashes or break out using this product.
What I do not like about it:
- It has tiny shimmers. I am just not a fan of shimmers!
- Staying power is not that good. By mid day, my skin looks washed out.
- It has only two shades. I know a lot will have a hard time choosing their shade. As for me, I can wear beige or ivory. I prefer to use Ivory since it brightens my face more.
Here is my bare face. I just got out from the shower. I know you miss my fat face flashing on your screen. haha

Thumbs up for no rashes attack on this picture. haha |
|
I applied two layers of tinted moisturizer. Look at how it even out my skin tone. It does not cover my dark circles at all. Thank heavens for concealers. :)) I know my face looks lighter than my neck. After a few minutes, the shade will blend perfectly on my skin. |
|
A closer look on the shimmers. I am not a fan but it somehow made my skin look naturally glowing. |
I am giving away 6 boxes of this moisturizer. Three winners will be picked and each will get two boxes of Myra Vita Glow Tinted Facial Moisturizer in Ivory and Beige. Because I love local and affordable makeup, just answer this question:
