The blogosphere online and offline made a lot of noise this year that even the traditional media took notice and talked/featured bloggers very frequently this 2012. Some were good news, some were just downright below-the-belt. I think it is a way to acknowledge that blogs and bloggers are definitely influencing the opinion and behaviour of the society no matter how hard we resist it.
Even the numbers of blogs and bloggers increased to an incredible amount. But despite the spike in numbers, I thank all my supportive readers and blog followers for always being there for me. With that said, I would like to revive my Top Commenter of the Month Giveaway after the long hiatus. I intentionally revived the Top Commentator of the Month giveaway this January 2012, just in time for my 5th Blog Anniversary and to start my blogging year with a bang.
For January 2013 I am giving away a bunch of makeup, personal care and skin care product which include the following:
To be qualified as the top commenter here are the rules
This is not my 5th Blog Anniversary Giveaway, I’m still at the works with regards to what to do on my blog anniversary, but I want to do another beauty makeover date for a loyal reader.
Here’s for the most exciting year yet!
Stay gorgeous everyone!
If there’s one woman in history I want to be or think I was her in my past lifetime that would be Cleopatra. Her fondness of cats, her wit and beauty and charm is something I connect with (not that I’m bragging lol!). Since I learned about her in my grade school days when Liz Taylor’s Cleopatr movies were shown on TV in black and white during Holy Week break I never cease or get tired of watching it. I think I have watched it all, all of the series and I know the story like the back of my hand.
For this Halloween, there was this big urge for me to be Cleopatra and that pyramid and labyrinth “spooky” exhibit at SM Fairview this week just gave me urge to becoming Cleopatra and so I did.
Halloween Look: Becoming Cleopatra
Highlights: Emphasis on the eyes with dark eyeliner and blue eye shadow.
How to do it:
Face: For a flawless smooth face I use Lancome Teint Miracle #05 and Physicians Formula Talc-Free Mineral Wear Mineral Cream Concealer on my problem spots.
Eyes: I used the K-Palette Lasting 2Way Eyebrow in Brown to draw the borders of my eyebrows and then filled it up with the Estee Lauder Stay-in-Pace Eye Pencil Onyx and brushed it with an eyebrow brush to soften the lines. The I used the Penshoppe Aqualiner Celeste all over my eyelids as eye makeup base. Then applied L.A. Colors EP Devious Blue all over my eyelids then blend with Silver white from the same palette. Using the Nature Republic So Big Liquid Eyeliner in black I lined my entire eyes two coats heavier to create that Egyptian look/impact . Create an exaggerated cats eye line all the way up to the temple. Using the K-Palette Real Lasting Eyeliner in Black I made the lines more cleaner and clearer. To highlight my eyelashes I use Revlon Photoready 3D Volume Mascarra in Blackest Black.
Cheeks: Sweep some blush below the cheekbones up to the temples for contour I used the Fanny Serrano Powder Blush in Cinnamon Stick
Lips: I used the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Charm then topped it off with L’Oreal Parish Glam Shine 6H in Coral Sherbet for a nude but glossy effect
So, what do you think of my Cleopatra look? Achieve ba?
How about you, what did you wear as costume for Halloween?
Stay gorgeous everyone!
In honor of the London Olympic Games opening this 2012. I decided to.create a look inspired by the fire from the Olympic Games torch that signifies new beginnings!
I used the L.A. Colors 5 Color Metallic Eyeshadow EP42 Wildflower shade making it apear like a burning flame.
L.A. Colors 5 Color Metallic palette is not that pigmented and the color easily falls.off. But for practice purpose and experimentation on looks it’s an OK eyeshadow. Better use a good eyeprimer and use the.applicator provided in the kit as it gets the colors better than an eyeshadow.brush.
With the right kind of makeup and the know-how on techniques to enhance ones.look cosmetic surgery is an option that should be considered by others.to look more gorgeous.
Smith Facial Plastics can do the work for you if you are considering to make some changes on your eyelids that you think is lacking in folds or is drooping already with their eyelid surgery. If your forehead is too wrinkly then you can consider having a forehead lift. Or if unhappy with your nose.you can go through rhinoplasty or nose reconstruction.
But if you are afraid of needles then just go through some photo editing and post edited version of you like this one.
Here’s my photo edited London Olympics 2012 torch makeup look!
Stay gorgeous everyone!
Hello gorgeous peeps, I decided to make a list of all the makeup brand I reviewed and the looks I created in one post for easy access and reference. Feel free to check it out and find inspiration for your next makeup purchase or face of the day look! 
Enjoy!
Btw, are there any brands you would like me to try and review? Leave your comments here and I’ll do my best to check them out.
Stay gorgeous everyone!
LA Colors Cosmetics is one of the imported yet inexpensive makeup brands I have encountered from the U.S. The product was imported by Sprint Asia Beauty here in the Philippines. I love this brand because they offer a lot of shades of eye and lip makeup that you can hoard as many palette and shade as you want.
This review is dedicated on three (3) LA Colors Metallic Eye Shadow Palette: Eye Shadow Palettes, the Devious, Desert Dune and Wildflower
LA Colors Metallic Eye Shadow Desert Dune Palette
Desert Dune Swatches
LA Colors Metallic Eye Shadow Devious Palette
LA Colors Metallic Eye Shadow Wildflower Palette
Swatches
I highly recommend the LA Colors Metallic Eye Shadow palettes. At Php169.00 per palette you can already play with a lot of color option for your adventurous makeup explorations.
If you are new to the world of makeup, I suggest you explore on the cheaper brands first before buying the expensive ones. It will be a lot easier to experiment with inexpensive brands and you can be generous with the color application. You can practice a lot of look or techniques with the cheaper makeup brands first. You can invest on the expensive makeup brands later when you become a master and decide to enroll in a makeup class to get that certificate that will earn you the makeup artist title.
How about you? Have you tried LA Colors before? What is your favorite makeup item from them?
Like LA Colors Philippines for more promos and updates!
I will be creating an FOTD with one of the palette soon! I think I’d like to use Wildflower! Stay tuned!
Stay gorgeous everyone!
Hello gorgeous peeps, sorry for the lack of updates. I’ve been so busy attending to personal stuff and blogger duties that when I get home I’d rather sleep than do a blog post. Don’t worry June will be a slow down month for events so I will have a lot of time for catching up. For now I would like to thank everyone who went to the BU3 bazaar last Saturday, June 2, 2012. Even it was raining cats and dogs and Typhoon Ambo was visiting us there were a lot of people who went out of their way to support the Bloggers United Bazaar and shop to their hearts content.
Here’s just a few pics from the BU3 Bazaar not much and some are blurry, was so busy selling!
Happy Monday! Stay gorgeous everyone!
This summer heat is definitely getting me and I don’t have that much drive to put on a full makeup with all that skin care products on top of the makeup primer and liquid foundation on. I am glad that I was given this L.A. Mineral Pressed Powder in True Beige just in for me to just use my skin care products and sunblock then powder and go.
Product Shots
L.A. Colors Mineral Pressed Powder comes in 15 shades (from lightest Ivory to Ebony) and all L.A. Colors cosmetics is available in the Philippines at Purebeauty store at Serendra , Global City and distributed by Sprint Asia Logistics or visit www.sprintasiabeauty.com.
I’m into less makeup lately. The hot summer days is just to much that I don’t want to feel sticky or greasy at the end of the day. When I got this Mary Kay Ocean Breeze Weekender Bundle I got so excited because the shades looks very summery and well sounds like it was definitely made for summer.

L-R: Coral Sunrise, Silver Sunrise, Blue Metal and Lemongrass
I will try the Night Look as suggested at the Mary Kay Ocean Breeze Weekender Bundle packaging later. Will post a separate FOTD for that.

SKIN CARE
When they say love the skin you are in it doesn’t mean you have to make do of what you have and not do anything with it. You have to take care of it, nurture it and find the best product that suits your skin type and lifestyle.
Endorsing one product and reviewing another brand are two different things. When you review a product you don’t necessarily endorse it you just want to find out if its good for you or not. When you endorse a product it means you actually use it and believe in it to actually recommend it to people.

MAKEUP
I love make-up! Who doesn’t! But I’m not a professional make-up artist. I’m just a girl who shares my make-up discoveries and more. Enjoy!
