Miss Universe Musings



miss universe I wasn’t able to watch the whole Miss Universe 2007 Beauty Pageant because I had work, and I was lucky enough to watch snippets of it. My sisters on vacation watched the whole thing and rooted for Miss Japan all the way, and I remember last year, that I found Miss Japan Kurara Chibana most spunky and alluring at the same time.

Though Miss Japan won Miss Universe this year, I would have to say that I have my own favorite contestant, and it is none other than Honey Lee, Miss Korea. Her dimples are to die for, that perfectly compliment her well sculpted cheekbones. Do I sense the Beautynomist being envious? Hahahaha! Aside from her cute, killer looks, she happens to be a phenomenal woman. A black belter, scuba diver, competitive skier, and professional player of Kayageum ( traditional Korean music ). Gosh. I have nothing to say further! Hahaha!

makeup for school School’s just around the corner, and with my sister who’s in college who sadly proclaimed that her break was over, I was given the chance to give her tips and advice for keeping herself primp and prettified even when she’s in the vicious jungle called school.

I mean, they benefit the most from this! ) Anyway, here are some must-haves and some advice that I gave her to keep her looking fresh, and incredibly ready for school!

Selsun Blue Medicated Dandruff Shampoo

selsun blue

This has got to be my Holy Grail dandruff shampoo. It works like no other, it eliminates dandruff within a week, that it’s miraculous! No other brand could perform faster than Selsun Blue does! Woohoo!

I’ve also been saddened that they don’t sell these in my country anymore, and I could only get them by online shopping abroad. I’ve hoarded 4 of these 11 oz babies just for backup. Dandruff is no laughing matter, and without it around, it is a carefree world. No itchies and unsightly flakes. What a dream.

What Sun Worshippers Should Know About Melanoma

melanoma may skinceuticals sunblock I admit, since last year, I have been majorly addicted to go to the beach. My problems are gone for a few days, the stress is surely left behind, and the beach just means one thing to me – total paradise. Even if I’m not in the beach, my mind has been swimming with beach tunes. Oh drat, help me get out of this mirage in the desert!

I’ve also been addicted to get a beautiful tan everytime I go to the beach – thus, my occasional sunbathing tendencies. It’s scorching hot, and I could feel my skin baked, toasted, or what, but nothing beats the golden glow that I achieve from the sun!

Or does it come with a price? Melanoma, anyone?

Calgon Body Mist in Pink Grapefruit

calgon body mist

This might be so out of the market now because I remembered this being given to me as a gift by my classmate a good 4 years ago. I ignored it for a while because I wasn’t into fragrances at that time, but when I tried to spray it on me to give me the “beach” mood as I hit the beach last weekend, I found myself inhaling the wonderful, deliriously delightful scent of this body mist!

Ilog Maria Propolis Cider Liniment

ilog maria spa

So, okay, I found another online store, and if you know me as much as my mom does, I absolutely LOVE shopping online. The wonders of G-cash and courier shipping, whoever invented these should be worshipped! With my toxic day job, and my Saturday-night only dinner dates, I just think that my shopping time isn’t enough – so I just compensate for it – ONLINE! Really, online stores are great , the ones I’ve shopped from carry great products, and Ilog Maria, is currently on top of my list!

Buckle Up with Essie’s Summer Nail Collection


I think I owe all my readers my tale of my nail polish initiation about a month ago, but that’s another looong winded story. First, I’d like to share this new collection by Essie. For nail polish fanatics out there, Essie has come up with new colors this summer that is belt-inspired. The catchy names of their shades include Click it or Ticket ( red ), Huckle Buckle ( violet ) , It’s a Cinch ( pinkish ), Loophole ( metallic silver ) , Chastity ( woah, nice one! a true pink ), Below the Belt ( white ).

Jane Iredale Liquid Eyeliner

jane iredale liquid eyeliner
With my entry into the mineral makeup addicts bandwagon more than a year ago, almost all of my cosmetics have been mineral in nature. Jane Iredale is one of the posh brands of mineral makeup that makes you feel like a queen – the gold packaging just takes my breath away. Aside from the packaging ( shucks, a shallow me is surfacing haha! ), the quality is nothing short of great, too. Their foundations are superb, but I’m talking about something else right now – and it’s their liquid eyeliner.

What I love most about mineral eyeliners are their incredible staying power. I use Bare Escentuals Weather Everything Liner Sealant to seal my lashlines to perfection and dance the night away without any worries. Sometimes though, it becomes tedious as I mix mineral powder and sealant. Sometimes, I am in a hurry that I need something quicker and easier to apply- just like the traditional liquid eyeliner.
