Well, well, well! This week has been an interesting one. It’s the end of July, and it’s been raining everyday, as tropical depressions visit our country giving us all the chills, good slumbers because of the bed weather, but also no sleep, for those whose electricity had been out because of the weather disturbances. Well, as we are gearing towards August, I hope that we’d get to enjoy the dry, but chilly weather soon. I am so ready for that!

One thing that I shared this week, is one proud moment of mine, being able to do stage actress/singer Nikki Guevara’s makeup for a photoshoot. It’s just been too long that I’ve been hanging out with this photography club that I’ve worked with ever since I finished my first makeup course. Just looking at the photos of my work really make me want to do more makeup. I don’t know, it just gives me so much happiness to do makeup!

Oh, here’s something that I wish, we’d have here soon!

I usually spend my idle time surfing for new products and brands in the market, and I just stumbled into a brand that just made me really happy – Melvita.

Hahaha! Don’t you think that the title’s funny? Instead of “travelling pants,” I’ve made it a whole lot vain-er . Well, come to think of it, we always want our hair styling tools around us, don’t you agree? They’re our sisters, and somehow, we share them with our friends during our getting-ready moments!

I remember during high school, during our retreat, seeing my really cute classmate ( she’s a girl ) fresh from the shower, with her hair wet, as she whipped up her hair blower, and started blow drying her hair. In that moment, I knew, that it was her secret for her impossibly bouncy and enviable hair that she sports everyday!

Ruffa Gutierrez. Hands down. Proof? I am a Summit fan -and I patronize Preview and Cosmo , and I grew up with Candy Magazine, but I don’t really read Good Housekeeping Magazine ( I’m just not a home improvement person! haha! ) . But then, I picked up this magazine in a heartbeat upon looking at the cover. Why? First, it was Ruffa G on the cover. Second, her perfectly shaped and defined eyebrows were calling me. Real bad. That I felt that it was a good buy already, and I haven’t even started browsing through the pages!

I’m the type of person who just loves taking showers in the morning, that I would not be able to function well if I didn’t, for the day! I always like starting my day on a clean slate, with a fresh promise of a bright, and promising day with so much possibilities as soon as my eyes are open, and revived from a good night’s sleep.

For the past few weeks, what’s been making my mornings bright and nice ? I’m about to share to you right now – it’s the Olay Moisturizing Bar in the Ultra Moisture variant.

Nikki Guevara is a stage actress, a singer, a TV personality, and just finished taking up makeup lessons in the Make Up For Ever Academy here, so just imagine the pressure on my shoulders when I was asked to do her makeup for this photoshoot. Oh yes, my shoulders were sore for an entire week after. Hahaha!

Kidding aside, Nikki was so much fun to talk to, as she was friendly, and we had our love for makeup as our common ground. She even brought with her a traincase full of droolworthy makeup ( at least she was more organized than I am! ) , and a Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual, that I really really love as well! As I was chatting with her, I kept on sensing that she looked familiar, until out of the blue, I just asked, “are you related to Carla Guevara?” She said, “Yes, she’s my sister!” No wonder, they looked so much alike ! I remember applauding over Carla Guevara-Laforteza’s performance in Avenue Q, and looks like Nikki is also going to steal the stage just like that soon! Continue reading

Last Sunday, I read the papers, and I’ve seen a huge ad, with an unbranded, unnamed shampoo bottle with a big question mark in it, calling it the Mystery Shampoo. Last week, I’ve seen two bloggers blog about it taking the 14-day Challenge, taking a leap of faith on testing a hair product that they don’t know what it is. Well, what is the Mystery Shampoo?

Would you believe that I’ve only been aware and conscious of the hair on my upper lip, just last year? My makeup class teacher pointed at me and called me a man for having a “mustache.” Hahaha! Well, after that very rude awakening and earning a few laughs from my classmates ( which, I was a good sport, by the way, and laughed along ), I started exploring ways to get rid of my upper lip hair. I tried using wax strips, but I’m afraid that my entire upper lip area became really red and swollen right after, making me swear off that procedure! I’ve had my teacher thread them off during our threading class, but of course, I had to do them on my own in time. Right now, I find that using an epilator for my upper lip was effective, but is painful. Good thing it only lasts for two minutes doing it, and I only do it when I get conscious. Haha!

Looking at the Lindo Twist-N-Roll Tweezers offers a new alternative in getting rid of facial hair, much like a D-I-Y threading procedure. I swear, learning threading using thin threads wasn’t as easy as I thought, and I can hardly remember how to do it now, so a “threading” gadget would really be helpful!
