Sometimes, I think of Beautynomics as the older ( but very very pretty, still ) sister of Beauty & Minerals. After all, upon starting to beauty blog four years ago, I’ve been just obsessed about beauty products, and discovering what’s really really good, I opened Beauty & Minerals roughly a year after Beautynomics to offer to the market my prized beauty picks, that are not readily available in the country. As I went on enjoying my time giving consultations and making people get converted to mineral makeup with Beauty & Minerals, I also got smitten with makeup brushes. Thus, I’ve created my own line of makeup brushes, called Charm. Continue reading

Ok, it’s truth time. Whatever happened to my MAC Viva Glam Lady Gaga and Cyndi lipsticks?

Well, they both moved on, you see.

My Viva Glam Lady Gaga lipstick has moved on to my….traincase. It’s been in my professional traincase for photoshoots, as I deem it a very interesting color – perhaps to balance a smoky eye. I really love it. It’s such a keeper. It’s not for everyday use, but it’s an interesting color that is just photograph-worthy.

My Viva Glam Cyndi lipstick, on the other hand, has moved on to….my sisters. Once I placed it on our common vanity table, I could not just locate it anymore! There were some instances that I would see it inside a bag of my sister, and another instance, in another bag. Looks like Cyndi was just so wearable for everyday that my sisters have gotten it from my hands! Haha!

But then…all’s not lost, because of my new MAC Viva Glam Lipglasses, in both colors! Wanna take a peek?

Ok, ok, hold your horses ladies and gentlemen. I haven’t transformed this blog into a food blog. I was just trying to be funny with the “taste test” thing!

But really, do you ever wonder how the new Listerine Vanilla Mint Mouthwash tastes like?

When I got the bottle, the packaging seemed to give me some vibes, and amongst them are :

* I try this, and I get really vanilla-ey breath that my breath smells like vanilla ice cream every single time
* It’s like mouth-perfume, that anyone who catches your breath would definitely smell something apparent – perhaps something sweet Continue reading

Dear Venus,

You almost didn’t make it.

After winning the Binibining Pilipinas – Universe as our official representative to the world’s most glamorous beauty pageant, Miss Universe, you were dethroned due to “inconsistencies” in your birth certificate.

But then, you went to fight on for your right, did not stop fighting, as you fought with allies. Fighting was great with supporters and friends. It was a great day that you got what was truly yours- getting back the throne. Somehow, I feel that you knew you were going to make a difference with the vibes you were exuding and the oozing confidence you were expressing about bagging the crown as Miss Universe. It just felt like you knew it was your destiny to go to Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas to win the crown.

Roughly about a month ago, I never loved jeans. I even started buying more shorts, and dresses, as jeans are just my work clothes. With Levi’s leading me to my discovery that perfect jeans do exist, I’ve started investing by shopping for my second pair, and one for my mom, further converting her into the perfect jeans paradigm. You have to believe it because I say so! Hahaha!

With that, I am also seeking to convert YOU, to make you know that the Levi’s Perfect Fit jeans are just plain love in terms of fit, and comfort! With that, I am holding a contest, and three P 1,000.00 gift cheques are up for grabs!

What to do? Simply follow these steps : Continue reading
