Look of the day: Purple Day!!!!

It's been 2 weeks (or more...hehehe) since my last look of the day post. Got to lazy over the past weekends to doll up my face. Even if I go out, the most i can put on my face is just powder and lipstick. Maybe because I've got so many to do lists that's why I was not motivated enough.

Thank God for another long weekend! Another holiday celebrated for us Filipinos!(its our independence day last June 12. But since it fell on a Saturday, no office today Monday... =P )

This time I made sure that I'm gonna have my look of the day. Thinking what color to use gave me a small problem though. :P Today is also my cousin's birthday celebration and since i'm gonna be wearing a floral haltered dress that I bought at 168 mall, I decided to use purple shade to match my eyes with my outfit. For this look, I used my recent purchase from dollface cosmetics, the 42 palette. I super duper ever love this palette...Its now my favorite..The colors are just very rich and easy to blend and apply. I blended white, lilac and purple shades for this look. Eyeshadow I used are all shimmery ones./

Here's some of the pictures I took. (without flash)

Here's a closer look of my eyeshadow

Now here's some random pics of me with flash

Makeup Haul: Dollface Cosmetics

Exactly one year ago I'm the type of person who doesn't want to do transactions via the net....Very scared that people will just fool me by not delivering the purchases i placed online....Then I came across this makeup palette in the ebay that i couldn't resist buying...I told myself, "just one time...i'll try..." And thank god the seller was so nice and kind to assure that the transaction will be smooth and i'll get the package by tomorrow....So thinking, she seems nice and credible i placed the order (but still having fears inside hehehe)....True enough the package came and I was very satisfied....I told myself then, I'm definitely gonna buy makeups and brushes from her again.....I promised myself that whenever I have extra money on my purse, her products are definitely at the top of my shopping list.....And because it's June now......Yes one of my favorite months because we get to have our mid-year bonus, here's the items i newly purchased....Haven't tested them yet...that will have to follow on a separate entry here......

my package arrived tightly secured.....thanks pearl =)

here's the 32 shimmer eyeshadow palette...but wait...there's a surprise...

tadah!!!! there's a 10 brush on palette inside.... =)

now this one i got on sale =)

12 pcs. brush set...ain't it lovely in pink =)

Rebonded hair no more....Back to bouncy curls =)

For almost a year now, I've always been thinking (and itching lol) to get my hair permed again...But this time, I dont want to have the traditional/artisitic perm like the one I tried after my wedding....I want big bouncy curls!!!!! When I inquired about it at the previous salon where I got my traditional perm, they told me that this look can only be achieved by Digital Perm....OK so I asked how much will it cost for my hair length and they said that its costs a whooping P5,000!!!! There's no way I'm gonna spend that much money for vanity....I mean, the farthest I could go for my hair is P4000. That was when I had my hair rebonded....(It took me months to decide if I will spend that much money before thats how thrifty i am :P)....That was my reason at that time to give up the idea of getting digiperm....

Then came one day, I came across a forum in girltalk about hair perming (am so thankful to this forum).....In there, they tackled everything about perming....From digiperm, good salons to get this, after care (maintenance), products to use to keep the perm.....After reading (god knows how many pages...) I came across the salon BEAUTY BRICK....According to the girls there, the stylist/owner Mr. Shin is a genius when it comes to perming....Now I can attest to that...HE IS INDEED A GENIUS...... I LOVE how my hair turned out......The curls are still tight by now because they were blow dryed.....But he said it will loosen a little bit after shampooing.... Well enough stories....Here's my new look!!!!! I think it will take a long time before I sport straight hair again :)

Here's how the salon looks like from outside

A full view of my curls =)

Hmmm....need to color my hair again....regrowth is already long...too bad i have to ait for 3 weeks


For the final verdict.....Yes!!!! I'll definitely have my hair serviced again by Beauty Brick Salon....Again..Thanks to Mr Shin and all his staff....

Korean Invasion.....the etude house

from acting, singing, fashion, trends, tourists....name it!!!!! the koreans are indeed very in nowadays specially for us filipinos....for me, i started liking them by their heart melting novelas...who could ever forget jodi and cholo from stairway to heaven??? i can still remember going to office without sleep just to watch the full episode....(yeah talk about korean novela marathon.....) and look at how we patronize their music...from nobody of the wonder girls to 2NE1 of course because of Sandy =).....

but one thing i adore about them the most is this makeup brand.....the etude house.....i simply LOOVVEEEE this store.....i can share my reasons for liking it:

1. the store itself is sooooo cute and captivating....why you may ask??? because its like Barbie's house....everywhere you look you see cute stuff in PINK!!!! here's how it looks like...

i soo love this store....if ever ill have my own dressing room, ill definitely want it exactly like this =)

2. there are a lot of products to choose from....and all of them have cute packaging which makes you want to buy them all...here's the products i already bought/tried....got the product info from the global etude site.....

- Essence-In Foundation SPF22/PA+
Content: 30 ml

Concept: Moisture cream formulated liquid foundation coverage moisturizes and tightens
complexion with flawless coverage.
Description: Formulated with moisture cream for smooth application and skin brightened expression . Baobab Tree Extract + Collagen promote moist, youthful complexion
UV protection liquid foundation coverage
My say on the product: I so love this foundation....It really gives me that tight, flawless look...This is the fondie i used on my sister in my previos post and also on the silver and blue smokey eye look that i did..... the only negative thing i can comment is that it only comes in 2 shades.... 1 (for fair skin) 2 (their darkest color).....if i dont mix this with a darker fondie.....it doesnt look that good in pictures because the face is whiter than my body and neck....but nonetheless i still like it =)

-Moistfull Collagen Cream

Content: 50 ml
Concept: Moisturizing and tightening cream improves complexion look and feel with concentrated Baobab Tree extract and Collagen formula.
Description: Concentrated Baobab Tree + Collagen content for advanced moisturizing and tightening. Supplies noticeably tightened sensation and results
Baobab Tree + Collagen combination improves dermal structure and moisture retention
My say on the product: This is the best moisturizer ive tried so far. it really gave me that tight, young looking skin! ive been using this for over a month now. and all i can say is im loving it even more.....its not too heavy when you apply it but it really keeps my face moisturized.

- Ms. Twinkle MiniMe Cologne
now this one they dont have any description/info yet posted in their site. the one i have is Ms. Twinkle. there are 5 scents to choose from. all smell nice but this is the one i like best.

- Oh~m’EYE Lash Maxi Volume

Content: 8g
Concept: Eyelash Serenade for a Princess
Description: Volume Black Mascara promotes lush eyelashes
My say on the product: this one makes my lashes look thick. gives the right volume on my lashes


i also got myself my first stippling brush. cant really say that much right now cause i dont have any other stippling brush (from other brands) to compare with.....


well so far these are all ive got from etude....got to go back there again to try more products...hopefully tomorrow since its payday....wohoo!!!!

Free Training.....Free Food....Free Net....This is my kind of life

last May 12-14, 2010 i was assigned to attend a training sponsored by my employer. upon knowing that im one of those selected employees i was already excited. i was thinking "yey! 3 day training with free breakfast, lunch and even merienda!"....but my excitement grew when i got to see the course outline...the training was software test planning and test case design and the company conducting it is DIGILEAF INC.....i thought this is the kind of thing i want to learn more....because as a programmer, im just used to put into code whatever my team lead will assign me to do...but in this training, i will learn more on the analysis and testing aspect. i was with all hopes when we had our first day...i was like a kid whos just attending first day in kindergarten with eyes twinkling from anticipation =)....am happy that until the last day, my expectations were met 100%. The trainor Ms. Jocelyn Reyes really knows what she's teaching us. she's been in the testing industry for a decade already according to her. and i like her teaching style...it was typical classroom type of teaching but i never got bored..my mind never wandered away from her lectures even if we had free net access... (hehehe...ok i browsed through facebook every lunch...but that was our free time). i even got the highest score in our final exam! you might want to check out their company. their site is digileaf.com

another good thing about this training is that i get to know people from different companies like Bank of commerece and Miriam College.its good we share different processes that aided us to analyze our case study even more. here's some of our pictures taken from our last day...

enjoying our last group lunch together. we were served this sweet n sour pork with soup n dessert..yummy =)

of course every training needs a class picture! lol


see our smiles when we got out certificates? =)

Labor of Love....A mother's day gift to my wonderful mom

every mother's day, I always give the same gift to my mom.... red ribbon cake, flowers and a greeting card full of my love messages for her.....so this year i thought would i give the same thing again???? isn't she tired of receiving the same old thing every year???? this is what came into my mind while scouting for gifts at the mall....suddenly i remembered when she said she wanted something hanged on her living room wall....with that, i went to the nearest bookstore from my workplace to buy acrylic paint, set of paint brush and some acrylic pad.....alright!!! i'm all set!!!! but wait.....what the heck will i paint???? im not really a good painter, so something basic yet beautiful will have to do..... after series of searching the net (not to mention youtube for free tutorials hehehehe) i decided to paint japanese cherry blossoms in sunset...... i had fun doing it and am quite happy that it turned out ok....

This is how my painting looked like with frame. Sorry for the poor cam quality

a lot better in frame right =)

my mom really liked it and wishes to have more paintings on her wall ffrom now on.....well i hope next time i can come up with a better cherry blossoms rendition. =)
