Paisley Sundays + Make-up

*WARNING: EXPECT A LOT OF VANITY* LOL


Yesterday, I went to Church with my family. Just a usual Sunday with the fambam. Went to Church then have late lunch/early dinner. I was just planning to wear something easy because I'm usually so lazy to dress up. However, when I was dressing up, I was undecided on what to wear. So I just picked out my favorite paisley top from Forever 21 and threw on my red Bench jeans which I have cut up to my knees. The accessories I wore were built around the colors of my top.

Forever 21 top and earrings/ Bench bottom/ Primadonna shoes/ Parisian bag 

Arm candies. :)

Now on to my make-up!

Since my outfit already consisted of loud and bright colors, I opted to wear neutrals on my face except for my lips. I think this is my go-to look: Neutral eyes, red lips.

Mary Kay medium coverage foundation in Beige 402 / Brows are filled using BYS brow liner in blonde

Etude House liquid liner in Black/ Pink blush from a Japanese drugstore/ Lipstick from MAC (Mac Red)
/ LA Girl voluminous mascara in Black   

Finished Product! :)

;)

It always surprises me that I can still manage to pull off outfits like this because I'm always so lazy in putting together my outfits. It's always so nice to be creative even in the way you dress because you get to express how you feel. It's an added bonus that it makes you feel good. 

How's your day so far?

LET'S GET CRAFTY!

Hi everyone!


Lately, I was faced with a dilemma. I was redecorating and cleaning my room when I realizes that my window curtain is too long. You see, my room's air conditioning unit is located below my window. So if I let the curtains hang low, it will conceal the a/c unit and will definitely block the air.

Luckily, I have some cutesy scrapbooking materials I bought a long time ago that I haven't used. I'm kind of an impulsive buyer, that's why. (More on that in my next post. LOL) This material is made of just plywood, I think. They're clips that can hold your documents or photos and it comes with a paper-wire where you can hang them. Since I wasn't using it yet, I decided that i can use it to solve my decoration woes.

My curtain with the cute heart-shaped pins! 

And I was right! Not only did they serve its purpose, but they kind of look cute too! Plus points for that. Before, I would just use pins since I really don't allow myself to get creative most of the times. LOL

First of three pins: KISS

Second pin: LOVE

Last pin: full of Hearts! 

Sometimes, we really need to be resourceful. We don't really have to buy the things we don't have to solve our design/decorating problems. Take a look around, you might find something in the corner or your old boxes. Let's embrace creativity!

Singapore Photo Diary

Hi guys! :)


As promised, here are photos of my Singapore trip last December 2012.

Warning: Photo-heavy! LOL


Play-by-play: On the day of our arrival. And yes, we arrived 2:20 AM! Changi Airport is by far the best airport I have ever seen my entire life! I love it there. You can just sleep on their carpeted floors or hang out in the restroom because it doesn't stink!

For our 2nd day but officially 1st day in Singapore, we wanted to go around Orchard, see the Merlion and the Marina Bay Sands. We met up with a dear friend of mine who's been a permanent resident of Singapore. So glad to finally see her since we only meet up if she comes home to the Philippines, but unfortunately sometimes we don't. So it's a blessing that she lives there and got to hang with us for dinner. :)

Hotel Blues. We didn't avail of the free breakfast so we got ourselves breakfast at a convenience store just outside the hotel. :)

Pre-Christmas Shopping at Takashimaya! :)

Marina Bay Sands as our backdrop.

For our second day, our main goal was to visit Universal Studios! It was the most unforgettable moment in our lives, mine especially. We got to act kids and it did not feel embarrassing at all! LOL

Beautiful morning at Singapore!

I hope you had fun browsing through the photos as much as I did as it brings back memories of that quick trip! Here's to hoping for more travelling this 2013!

Just "brows"

Hi everyone!


This is totally not a make up post. I just wanted to see the difference of a full brow on a bare face. Ever since Sunday afternoon, I have been developing some sort of rash/allergy. I went to the doctor yesterday and I'm just gonna have to start with a hypoallergenic diet and medication.

With that said, I'm a little scared of putting on foundation thinking it might also cause itching on my face. I really need something to make me look "alive" today so I decided to just shape my brows! ☺

Here's the products that I used in filling my brows:

Mary Kay Signature Brow Definer Pencil in Brunette

Dual brush (brows/eyes) I got from the department store

NERD. ;P

Hi! :)

Yes, I took photos in the office! LOL

I feel/look fresh even without foundation on!

Quite shallow, but doing my brows made me feel a little better despite having to endure the itch all over my body! Haha! 

Happy Tuesday!
