Post Holiday Hauls

Hello blogistas!

I have always been an onlooker for good stuff and one of them are good makeup. I recently bought some few stuffs online since I already ran out on some of my supplies. Thank heavens for technology where I stumbled upon Digital Traincase which holds some Nyx products I had used in the past and just loved them through time. I was a very happy kid when I got my goodies in the mail that I'm so excited to wear them too. Here are some of the stuff that I got.

Nyx Lip Cream in Milan
Nyx Above and Beyond Concealer
Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream in San Paulo

First that caught my interest was the concealer because it is in a small pot. Kind of tricky when you use it because you have to dab it up on your fingertips for application. Does not really put on well if applied with a brush because it absorbs most of the product. It has good coverage though that lasts for about 4-5 hours. The Nyx Lip Cream is more of a wine shade than I thought it to be, but I like how it can worn on just a very casual or minimal look. It moisturizes the lips very well like a lip balm though the lasting power is not really great, only at around 2-3 hours, more so if you eat a meal and it will be totally wiped off.

Welcos Germinated Brown Rice Cleansing Foam
Myx Matte Lip Cream
WWW Cateye Sunglasses
Revlon Nail Art in Neon

I loved the way the Nyx Matte Lip creams holds on to my lips for several hours. Though I do not recommend wearing it on dry lips because it tends to make chapped lips more obvious.I love it for the fact that it is bright pink, it really brightens my whole look!

L'Oreal Lucient Magique in Pure Honey

FaceShop Tea Tree Toner
Yadah Anti Trouble Spot Cream

Lately I've been trying some Korean beauty brands too to test out for myself the pay off from the purchase. I loved before Faceshop's Rice Cleansing foam that when I saw Welcos Cleansing Story foam I just could not resist to try it out too. My face feels soft and re-hydrated from the mild cleansing that it delivers. I have been loving the Yadah Anti Trouble Spot cream too because it saves my life whenever I feel an upcoming breakout from lack of rest or sleep. I removes flakiness and moisturizes my skin after I put them on after washing my face.The Tea Tree toner is actually my brother's but I've tried it out for 2 weeks to see any effect on me but so far there has been no major changes that I've felt.I left it off with him since it does wonders for his skin. =P
Lastly, was the FaceShop's FaceIt BB cream my mom introduced to me and fell in love with too. It works both ways since it works like a creamy moisturizer and cover up for the blemishes from medium for full coverage. Tends to last in my face at 6-8 hours tops since I really have oily T-zone that I hate. The L'Oreal Lucient Magique was given by my sister since the shade is too light for her. It really is light infusing and is really great for lighted photos to casual day wear. I love that it's a pump bottle that it minimizes any unused foundation leftovers in the back of the hand and spillage. I love that some of these I got on a good discount while some are free. Beauty doesn't really have to be pricey,right?

Tied Knots and Poolside Views

Hello blogistas!

It's been a while now since I've posted here after Valentines Day since I was gone to be on attendance for my cousin's wedding. I would definitely say that the wedding was very intimate and awesome. I was very happy to see my cousins that I haven't seen for a long time. We were able to mange to get together to be in a special event to celebrate the meaningful event with our beloved cousin. I know that some may find it a bit cheesy but I love my cousins to bits because I've grown up with them and I literally look up to them because I find them next as an older brother and sisters aside from the real siblings I've got.

Here's my look for the wedding. Didn't had much photos of myself because I was busy helping out nut pretty much I liked my dress.So flowy and light.

I also loved the place where we stayed at. It was a hillside resort decked with lots of cabanas on the sides for those who wanted to enjoy the place. Unluckily for me I wasn't able to pack any swim clothes with me and I did not got any chance to enjoy the pool. 

I definitely plan to come back here and enjoy the place. 

Here is my brother looking out into the vast land where the resort is sitting at.

Until then blogistas, hope you have a lovely day!

Hi blogistas!

I've been awol for a while here and sorry about that. I've had quite a few trips out of town and being connected is quite difficult. I am crazy excited for my cousin Royce's wedding this week and its been hectic. I will be giving you guys a sneak peek of what the theme is going to be. =)

I love how they kept it minimal which is very classy. Its a black and white theme and the designs are so subtle which kept things together. Well, I will show more of it when all the happening is done. I will keep a metal note to myself to get a lot of pictures!

So going back guys while being there I happened to bond over with my soon to be sister in law. I call it that because my cousin in no stranger to me. We happen to grow together since my Aunt took me over under her care when I was a teeny weeny baby in a burrito wrap up until I was grade school. Not that my mom gave me away, it was a form of therapy for my Aunt as well because she lost her baby during birth which is almost the same age as me now. I am very much sure though that he is watching over us and is happy with Him now. I am happy knowing that I have two set of parents to run to. With my cousin being married soon I am so happy for him that he got to choose a very pretty and responsible girl for all their eternity. I wish them all the best that is yet o come!

Have a lovely one & See ya next time!
