Hello everyone. Thank you for all the support and encouraging words. I apologize for the negativity. I have to admit this. Honestly, I am a worrier and I am very negative but I am trying to change this mentality. Through God's grace and new found strength in HIM, I am trying to take life and its problems in a positive light. Who would not be devastated when everything you've worked for is gone in an instant. Yesterday, I was in a shocked mode throughout the whole day. I was not in my usual self. I was thinking that I would bid goodbye to my readers. However, I love what I am doing. As in. Moving on, I am also apologize to all my sponsors. I can only reupload the latest pictures and some old pictures that are still in my old computer. For now, I will blog about my latest beauty finds. Rest assured that I will try to reupload old swatches and FOTD's. I find it weird that my motto way back in High School is highly applicable to what is happened to my blog.
From the ashes of my monumental failure, I will build the empire of my success.
(Ang deep!! haha Yup,, yan ang motto ko nung HS. LOL)
Anyways, BF promised me a peace offering. Since he was too guilty for what he did. He will buy me a new camera lens. LOL I have already chosen the brand. I am so excited. I am really into macro photography and with my new lens expect better clarity of pictures.
My blog will not be confined to makeup and beauty anymore. I will now be sharing new things with you. I am continuing this because of my readers and my passion towards beauty. Like taxes, my readers is the lifeblood of my blog.
I will leave you with a beautiful prayer
The Serenity Prayer
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
--Reinhold Niebuhr

Godbless everyone!!

Hi everyone. No, there is nothing wrong with your computer or your internet browser. I do not know how to start this post or even end it. I am right now really sad. No. The right term is devastated. I had been blogging for years. I take pride on how I take pictures. Why? Because I take time to shoot the products and swatches and my fotd's. I never settled for okay. I wanted to upload the best pictures. I could take pictures as many 100 per post and I would choose the best among the bunch. I did not know that everything will all be gone just like that. My BF accidentally deleted all my pictures. My pictures in picasa web was synced to his Samsung Galaxy S2. Thinking all of the pictures were downloaded to his phone. He deleted them not knowing he deleted what is in my blog as well. I just learned it this morning. He does not have any idea too.
It seems as if my blog finally reached its natural death. I never thought that it will be too soon. I was actually planning on blogging about my future wedding preparations in the coming years or my upgrade on cosmetics escapade as I am now earning my own money.
Honestly, I do not know if I will still continue blogging. I lost hope. I lost the urge. 400 plus posts and 2000 + photos over the years, my blog now looks an empty space. I do not know how to rebuild it again. I could only upload pictures that my old computer still have. I cannot fill up all the void. It will take time for me to reupload everything. I am really sad. I do not know what to do right now. I was thinking of all the time my eyes would twitch when I take photos with flash or my arms would get tired in taking the proper pictures. No amount of money can pay all the hours I have spent on this blog. The passion I poured on everything I do. I was crying a while ago and still right now.
We have tried retrieving everything but we cannot.
I do not know what to do. Should I still continue or bid goodbye to you?
Godbless everyone.

Hi everyone! My hearing was cancelled so I had the chance to squeeze in this review..I actually took this photos the week before they were sent to me. I am always forgetting to write my review on Elite Minerals too. Yay. Anyways, have you ever wondered how did UK cosmetics is becoming a huge hit online lately? Before, it was all about NYX! Now.. My gulay! Sleek, Beauty UK, Gosh and other US Brands like Milani! I envy beauty junkees who are starting now because they have so many options online!! I mean when I was in college there were only a few brands I knew of. And I have to save a lot to have my trip to Beauty Bar!! Now, there are a lot of affordable foreign cosmetics sold by online shop.s Ohh just make sure they are not fly by night shops.. ok?

These babies cost 400 pesos each. When I got these lipsticks, I am actually afraid that the clear plastic packaging would look really tacky and I also have that weird feeling that the packaging is also flimsy! Guess what? I was so wrong. I think the packaging of this lipstick is one of the sturdiest I have ever seen. It feels quite heavy too. These lipsticks were sent to me by The Makeup Suite for reviews. |
|
At first look, I was drawn to Annalise's Pink!! It looks so bright compared to the other two shades.
|
|
As the name says - HYPERBRITE! It really looks bright on the lips. When I tried wearing Annalise's Pink to work, I had to have that second look in the mirror and blot the lipstick to lessen the brightness. The shade is very pigmented. I beg to disagree with reviews that this is matte. Hell no! Not at all. Matte lipsticks for me look like the Ever Bilena Matte Lipsticks or Barry M lipstick in Shocking pink. It should be devoid of any sheen or glossy effect on it. These lipsticks have a bit of sheen! It glides smoothly too. I do not know why they are saying that these are matte because the packaging label says so? hehe
The pigmentation of these lipsticks are really good. I just need one swipe and it can give a beautiful stain/tint on my lips. However, the color pay off shows better with 2-3 swipes. The color is ultra bright but very wearable.
The scent is something I am not really sure of. A lot of bloggers say that it smells sweet. I do not feel that way though. For me it does have that lipstick scent but not that disturbing funky scent. I really cannot explain. Ohh now, I know why a lot of bloggers say that it has that Vanilla Bean scent. This was the scent described by Models Own to their lipsticks.
You might need to moisturize your lips well and apply loads of lip balm because these lipsticks can be a bit drying. Well , almost all lipsticks that I have tried are drying on my lips! |

I tried so hard to capture the correct shades for you. These are the correct shades. I even compared this picture with the swatch on my hand. haha |
|
Annalise's Pink This is a very bright medium pink with loads of blue undertones. It is actually neon pink! Lighter than my Barry M shocking Pink. For medium skin tones like me, I think this shade is a bit hard to pull off. However, I apply darker shade of lip liner or gloss to warm the color a bit. I cannot resist wearing it because the shade is really unique. This shade would look best on fair skin.

Pink Hawaiian
I have doubts on this shade when I first swatched it. However, this one appears to compliment my yellow undertones more than the Annalise's Pink. This is a rich and bright HOT PINK! You can wear this during day time and night time as well. Amp it up by applying 2-3 swipes. Tone it down by patting the lipstick on your lips.

Orangeade
Do you know the singer Vitamin C? haha Raise your hands if you remember her! Well.. this shade reminds me of her. This is purely an orange lipstick. No red or coral undertones to this lipstick compared to Barry M Sunset.
That's it. What shade appeals to you most?
I am still trying to work out Orangeade. The shade looks so new to me. :D
Models Own Lipsticks are available at the Makeup Suite for only 400 pesos!
