Now that I’ve revealed the insides of my toiletry kit ( or big beauty kit, that is, ) let me let you peek in my makeup kit! This is the kit that I’d be bringing around me all the time. Singapore is a beautiful city, and the night life is said to be just wonderful and glamorous- and I am definitely going to glam myself up Friday night to go partying with my classmates from highschool whom I am meeting up! ( They’re working there already ).

The insides of my makeup kit :

Hi everyone!

In a few hours, I’m off for a plane to Singapore to celebrate Tin’s birthday. Yes, I’d be traveling with the pretty sisters Tin and Diana to the sunny city of Singapore! They said the heat’s insane there so I’ve got my trusty deodorant with me and my nice shorts that is considered alright to be worn there ( whoopee! ) Anyway, for my vanity kit, I’ve been known to be a really, really heavy packer, and well, let me just share to you what I’m bringing for my trip! Take a peek, take a peek!

*Takes a deep breath* well, here it is - what I’ve got for my birthday. Last year, on impulse, I got myself a Macbook and a DSLR Camera for my birthday ( of course, my dad paid for my Macbook and I paid for my camera haha! ). This year, the greatest birthday gift I gave myself was enrolling myself in makeup class - I will never regret this decision I made because I know in my heart that I love, love makeup, and of course, my birthday would not be complete without a beauty loot. A shameful one, actually. Hahaha!

This pre-birthday loot was purchased right after the MAC Bridal Makeup Workshop. I got myself a DUO Surgical Adhesive from the MAC Counter as we were going to be taught on how to apply false eyelashes the day after, Studiolights in Ideal Pink, Sand, ( and the darkest one the next day ) for my creme highlighting and contouring for my finals ( I’ve always wanted to do that ! ), a MAC Prep and Prime for the Eyes for my models, a Makeup For Ever Concealer Palette since I’ve been borrowing Jheng’s Cinema Secrets Concealer Palette at class for the longest time already, and two babies that flew in just in time for my birthday, Continue reading

Charged water, fused with vital ions from a diamond and instilled with a spirit-lifting therapeutic aroma, then delivered to the skin in the soothing aura of a revitalizing hydrating mist. Like its source – a diamond – on application it makes the skin feel clear, sparkling, pure and energized. Its aroma, a blend of green tea and citrus.

Jheng was telling me how addicting the MAC Charged Water was as she just could not help but spritz it on her face during idle hours. I got intrigued as Zeldy of MAC spritzed this on Aiza Seguerra’s face as she evened out her liquid foundation application. So there, as I was on my weekly visit to the MAC counter at Glorietta, I grabbed a bottle for myself ( as the Fix+ was out of stock ), and took it home with me.

What I love most about Sephora is that when they offer gift sets or collections, the prices will just make you buy. Period. They bundle products into a collection, and slash almost 50% off the pricetag. First, I’ve bought Smashbox’s Master’s Class Collection ( Vol. 1 - Smoky Eyes Set ) , and now, my recent purchase is Cargo Blu Ray Collection. The set sells for $59, but all products, when added up, totals to $130.

Set includes a pressed powder, a blush/highlighter, a mascara, and a primer, and a lipgloss quad.

Well, forgive me for the picture, that’s me, all happy, goofing around during the last few days of 2007. Haha!

Last December 28, my close friend who’s working in Singapore flew to Manila for the Holidays, and with her complaint that a single manicure treatment there cost her around 30SGD, we were “mandated” to accompany her to the nearest nail spa all in the name of saving ( yes, salon treatments are quite affordable here in Manila ), and pampering. Boy, I think every single one of us got stressed this year and we all needed even a day’s worth of pampering ( or an hour , phuleez! )

Mirror mirror, on the wall, who’s got the thickest hair, of them all?

Guilty. I have such thick hair ( I got it from my dad ), that it would have been just glorious if it were shiny black, and bouncy, just like the models that are shown on TV commercials. Even if it is unhealthy to want to look like a model, I am somehow obsessed with their hair. Downside is, my hair is naturally frizzy. Well, just can’t have them all.

Or can’t I?

Last year was the best year of my life as I had my hair rebonded at Tony & Jackey, a Korean salon located in Manila ( Malate, to be exact ). Koreans are well known for their expertise in styling hair, and I was really happy with Kenny’s job in doing my hair last year. My thick, puffy hair was transformed into sleek, shiny long hair, and he just had this technique of making my hair thin ( the layers were shorter “inside” than on the exterior ). It was amazing. Kenny had to go back to Korea for a surgery and never went back - it definitely left his clients devastated. Continue reading

It’s a bit late, but I have found this in my camera a week ago. The story goes , was that last June, as I celebrated my twenty-something birthday, I received this great beauty loot from my girlfriends. I loved it so much, that I used them as subjects as practice using my new DSLR camera I got. The picture turned out dark, even if it was a sunny day, but oh well, I hope to improve next time! Haha!

Here’s the contents of my beauty loot :
