"New Baby"

I created this blog to specifically just write about anything I feel like I have an opinion on such as politics, news and issues and even talk about my personal life. That was how it has been and I will keep it that way. I may have incorporated off-topic ramblings and annoying OOTD's but I have always used this blog to speak my mind about my beliefs, give my opinion on things that matter, etc. It doesn't matter if I only have 1 or 4 subscribers or 100. I made this blog without the intention of gaining subscribers. My family doesn't even know I maintain this blog!

I am a very opinionated woman (always has been), and one of my Political Science professor can vouch for that. My views are totally separate from that of my family, although I still uphold the values they taught me which are actually something I give great importance to. I am different than them because I have always been a liberated person- I do not conform to tradition. I have a different understanding of the world than they have. However I'm pretty sure they are aware of that. My actions speak louder than what I tell them. There's this fine line between having a limitation on what you can say in front of your family and what you cannot tell them. Of course, me not being a big fan of censorship, I am finding it difficult to really say what I'm really thinking. In addition, you always have to find an amiable way to say what you want to convey without actually saying what you are thinking because most of the time what you're thinking is inapproriate or rude.

Since I have a  myriad of interests, I have decided to separate them or order them into a group that can project the same outcome and/or theme. Now that is out in the open, I have created a separate blog for "fashion/ beauty" related stuff and I think I mentioned it on my previous posts already. I just thought it would be better to separate the two. On the "beauty blog", I write product reviews, list my favorite items, write on the fashion culture and trends, give tips and tricks, and the like. I have a lot of things in store for that blog as the months go by. So if you are interested on reading that, I would love if you follow or subscribe on that blog. I have a few posts on there but I am promising myself to post often, may be once or twice a week. At the same time, I have also promised myself to write more here. This is my first baby so I have to give it as much effort.

I hope you all have a wonderful day! :)

New Loot (Mary Kay Signature Line) + Beauty Blog (?)

Hi Guys!


How have you all been doing? I've been so busy lately with work that I have not updated this blog most of the time! Also, since I'm newly-married I have been so busy moving in my stuff to our new house as well. Anyway, I have been thinking lately of putting up a separate beauty blog. When I first thought of making this blog (larrainebee), I wanted people to take a glimpse of my life and I want to write on a smorgasbord of things/topic, even personal ones. So I think putting up a separate beauty blog would be nice and a breakaway from the seriousness of this current blog. What do you think?


Anyway, I got a couple of new products the other day. My husband and I stayed at my mom's house for the weekend and I took the liberty of digging into her loot bag! LOL I saw these super cute Mary Kay Signature Line eye primer and concealer. I already have a few Mary Kay items since my Aunt gave us a few items each when she came home last December. These two are perfect for me since currently, I do not have a good concealer and a primer.


So I took them out and tested them yesterday. Take a look:

Mary Kay Signature Line Concealer in Yellow Jaune and Eye Primer

This is the Eye Primer. Just a small amount of this can give full coverage on both eyelids.

This is the Concealer. Very good coverage and blends out easily.

The concealer in Yellow Jaune. A little lighter than usual shade but blends perfectly well.

I used both products yesterday and I am impressed by their coverage and they both do not feel so heavy on my face at all. I paired them by using another Mary Kay product, my Medium-Coverage Foundation in Beige 402.

Finished product! Unedited photo of my make-up yesterday. 

What do you guys think? Let me know in the comments section below.

It's November already! I am nearing 25 and it's freaking me out a little bit. Being 25 gets me nearer 30- the age I fear the most. Haha! It seems like I slept on the night of October 31st and now, we're a week into the month! How time flies! I wish time would go a little bit slower. Sometimes, I like to just sit and think of what happened to me in a week's time and I could see how fast people come and go; how fast events happen; how fast the days go by. Every time I think of it it wears me out, I feel tired.

Something New

I used to have many blogs. I dunno why and I'm a pretty inconsistent blogger. I don't usually blog all the time. When I came across Bianca Gonzalez's blog, I noticed that almost every month of the year, she has a blog post- considering her busy schedule, she still finds time for her blog. I promised myself  I'd do the same. I hope I can keep it up. ;)
