Getting Ready For Summer: Hello March 2013!

I don’t know about you but as soon as the date turned 1st of March, the Metro Manila city heat just turned up a notch higher.  It is definitely summer even if our weather bureau PAG-ASA did not declare it yet.  With that said, I am prepping myself for those fun days spent at the beach to get wet and “wild” with fun over and under water adventure that is to come and is set on my calendar.

So, I was booked for a Laser Light Underarm Hair Removal treatment and a Firming Facial at Facial Care Center (FCC) so I will be more confident in showing more skin than usual in my bikini perhaps? Teehee!  Who knows!

Here’s some Do’s and Don’ts before and after having a Laser Light treatment at FCC

Getting my leki-leki #LL ready for summer lolz #LaserLight  treatment at Facial Care Center :)
This is my second laser light (LL) treatment , they said I would need at least 4 treatments to be totally hair free for the rest of my life! Woot!  Sorry I don’t have before and after UA hair pics for this but I promise when I’m totally hair free I’m gonna pose like Marian Rivera on her FHM cover so you can see how totally smooth and hair free my leki-leki (UA) is after my LL sessions!  Aja!

My face was totally a wreck the past few weeks.  I’ve been having a lot of break-outs and pimples are just coming out of nowhere everywhere and its very annoying and very yucky!  So, I needed a very very good facial ASAP!  They gave me a firming facial at FCC too! Yay!

Having a steam for 10 minutes

My technician said my face is too tight so it was a bit hard to suck all the dirt out of my face. I had a very painful extraction but it has to be done (tiis-ganda as they say!). The things we do for beauty! LOLZ!  I feel great after as if all those dirt on my face that’s been causing all those crazy breakouts were lifted off my face! She got a lot! I didn’t took a pic though it was kinda disgusting!

Thank you NJ Torres , Bea and Nica and to my Facial Care Centre family!  
How about you, how did you welcome March 2013?

Stay gorgeous everyone!

Top Commenter January 2013: 5th Blogversary Edition

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.

FOTD/EOTD: Green Is In

Another makeup I was abke to pkay with this rainy day weekend was the Wet ‘N Wild I Dream of Greenie Coloricon Trio palette. I had for a coupke of months already. I was inspired by the green eyeshadow look I saw at the L’Oreal Holiday 2012 Lookbook and decided to create my own look inspired by it.

This was the eye makeup I came up with, pretty shades of Green because Green Is definitely IN!

I love my green eyes #eyeshadow makeup

This is the eyeshadow palette I used

IMAG1314-1

I love the different shades of Green on this palette and I also love how pigmented it is. My only problem is that the.color doesn’t last as my eyeshadow started to fade after a few.hours wearing it. But I think you can make the look last longer if you wear eye primer before applying.

IMAG1317-1
IMAG1318-1
A palette is sold at Php299.00 only! Very affordable!

So here’s how this palette looks on my eyes:

Wet 'N Wild Coloricon I Dream of Greenie Palette
I followed the makeup guide.provided in the packaging of the Wet ‘N Wild Coloricon palette. The lightest shade below my eyebrows or the browbone, the middle shade on the crease and the darkest to fill my eyelids.

Tada!

IMAG1321IMAG1322

What do you think?

Oh! I finished the look with a coral shade of lipstick and blush on staying true to the rule that when the eyes is dramatic tone down on the rest of your makeup.

How about you, have you tried any of Wet ‘N Wild eye shadow palettes? What’s your favorite?

Stay gorgeous everyone!

LA Colors Metallic Eye Shadow Devious, Desert Dune & Wildflower Review

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.

L.A. Colors 5 Color Metallic Eyeshadow

This review is dedicated on three (3) LA Colors Metallic Eye Shadow Palette: Eye Shadow Palettes, the Devious, Desert Dune and Wildflower

What I think of it?

  • I love all three color palettes, color combinations are adventurous and playful.
  • Pigmentation is really nice.  
  • Works on wet or dry application.
  • Because the colors are metallic it is a bit shimmery but the shimmer is tolerable
  • There’s a tendency for the color to crease or transfer but if you use the right eye shadow primer the color will stay put and will last longer.

L.A. Colors 5 Metallic Eyeshadow swatches
Do I recommend this?

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!

Shopping: BU3 Super Success

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!

My stall at the BU3 bazaar, I sold a lot of makeup and makeup brushes from MAC, Wet ‘N Wild and L.A. Colors and nail polishes from Orly and Wet ‘N Wild.

Nikki also share a stall with us and sold beautiful and inexpensive accessories!

Wet ‘N Wild Megalast Nail Color Swatches and Review

There are things I would rather have other people do for me than I do it myself.  Among them is doing my nails.  I’m just sloppy doing it myself and well it a sort of therapy when somebody else do my nails.  However, I can’t always go to a nail salon because of time and/or  budget constraints so I’m glad when I get nail polishes I can play with or use when in dire need to cover-up my nails. I was given two shades of Wet ‘N Wild Megalast Nail Color, one is the Break The Ice and the other one is Sugar Coat.

Product Shots

Break The Ice is pearlized white so there’s a bit of glitter on the finish

Sugar Coat is kinda light flesh kinda pink tone in regular finish

What I think about the Wet ‘N Wild Megalast Nail Color:

  • I love how fast the nail color dries
  • I also love the shades perfect for summer and for a clean and fresh look
  • They will make a nice pair in making a French Tip that I still have to master or have the nail salon do it for me instead.
  • I’m not sure how much a bottle is since it was just a gift but the other variants of  Wet ‘N Wild Nail Color like the Fast Dry is sold at Php199.00.

How about you, have you tried other Wet ‘N Wild Megalast Nail Colors?
