FOTD : Wicked Broadway Musical in Manila

Hi there! I know I have in a way promised to post FOTD as part of my makeup quest, but then, due to hectic sched (or at least a valid reason), its taking me forever to post one. Glad that last Saturday, because my boyfriend and I were scheduled to watch the Wicked Broadway Musical in Manila, I got a valid reason to doll up a little and finally got a chance to play on my beauty arsenal.

And so without further ado, presenting the culprits behind my “Wicked” look:

• Face Primer: Sephora Smoothing Primer

• Foundation: MAC Studio Fix Fluid- SPF 15 (Shade: NC30)

• Powder Foundation: MAC Studio Fix (Shade: NC30)

• Concealer: Maybelline Liquid Concealer

• Blush: MAC Blush Coral Peach

• Eye Primer: Urban Decay Primer Potion

• Eye Shadow: Urban Decay Naked Palette

• Lipstick: MAC Cosmo  (Amplified Crème)

• Eyeliner: Revlon Liquid Eyeliner

• Brush: SIGMA Make Me Classy Brushes

My Go-to Korean BB Cream

“Why do Korean gals always have flawless, radiant skin?”

I used to always ask the same question  -- “Why do Korean gals (especially those in Koreanovelas) always have that perfect, beautiful skin?”. Well I know for a fact that the cold weather helps, a lot. The food they eat also helps (they eat veggies, a lot). But of course, it has also something to do with the beauty products that they are using  -- which I found out when my colleague in Korea introduced (actually gave and I know I’m lucky) it to me few years back.

Why You Should Also Have This Sephora Makeup Haul

“Once in a while, invest in something that will make you happy, confident and beautiful”

Don't you just love them all! 

This quote holds true especially for all the ladies out there who are in quest and currently exploring the wonders of makeup-slash-cosmetics like me.

Last December, I received my Sephora Beauty Loot (no, there’s no Sephora yet here in the Philippines and how I badly wish there is), from my friend in Singapore. I’ve been so into makeup products lately and in a way astonished as to how it can transform a person. I’ve already shared my recent makeup investments and reviews such as the MAC Cosmo Lipstick and Revlon Eyelinerand Eyebrow Kit and now continuously moving up a higher notch with my Sephora Makeup Haul.

Let’s dig-in one by one into these beauty products and know the reasons why they should be part of your beauty arsenal.  

On Fulfilling Dreams This Season of Giving

One of the much anticipated events every year is Christmas.

For one thing, Christmas equates to celebration, festive, reunions and gatherings, parties, exchanging gifts and even Santa Claus and his reindeers.

Christmas is the season as they say to be jolly, to be merry; to spend quality time with people that matters most in your life -- family, friends, and special someone.

And amidst green, red and gold, Christmas as its real essence is the time to celebrate the birth of our Saviour Jesus Christ.  

Happy Birthday Jesus!

MAC Amplified Creme Cosmo Lipstick -- A First Safe Try.

Believe it or not, I rarely wear lipstick. I usually go for a lip balm or a lip gloss for everyday use.

But then, since I wanted to take my beauty-slash-makeup know-how up a higher notch, which actually started when a fairy makeup artist, in the name of Ten Franco wave her magic wand, sprinkle her fairy dust and eventually transformed me to a different person (as what they say), I decided to start off wandering on a beauty product that can easily transform a person by wearing nothing but that. Apparently, it is no other than a lipstick.   

Yes, a lipstick is considered a staple for every lady’s makeup arsenal, yet used to be not for me.

Since it’s going to be my first try, I have thought and researched carefully on what brand and what shade. It has to be a good brand, and a safe shade -- good enough for my 12-hour work, safe enough to maintain both a corporate and casual chic look.    

And I so ended up with MAC Amplified Creme Cosmo Lipstick.
