Because I fell in love with the MAC face powder (MAC Mineralize SkinFinish Natural) which I recently bought, I decided to buy the foundation under the same Mineralize line, the MAC Mineralize SatinFinish Foundation, since I’m in the market to get a new bottle of liquid makeup anyway.
Again, I’m still not used to folks telling me that I ought to get certain makeup in shades lighter than I’m used to. I do know that MAC in 30 (shade) will work well with my skin tone and I have to …

Early Friday, I had decided to hit a couple of beauty stores before my weekend starts esp since I know my Saturday (yesterday) schedule’s quite full. So, I found myself dragging K yet again in an under-an-hour-shopping trip held in Glorietta.
The main reason why I needed to stop by The Body Shop was the need to replenish my Tea Tree Oil Cover Stick from TBS because mine is about to run out but I spotted a couple of things that I just had to also put in my shopping cart. …

This was actually my first stop during that fated Tuesday shopping spree (see Shoe binge post). I’ve been putting my trip to a MAC counter for so long that when I did find myself in Glorietta, I just knew I’m not going to deny my need any longer.
I was in the market for a face powder and I’m curious if MAC had anything good for me to try. Of course, I know that MAC is a trusted cosmetics brand but the question on whether it will suit me (in terms …

Torn between sharing this bit of news cuz I really wouldn’t want to be the cause of depleted Holiday bonuses plus the fact that pay day’s coming up. However, how can I not tell you ladies about this?
It’s a brief report on the Holiday 2009 Trends from The Ramp and here’s their list narrowed down to 10 with Teresa Herrera working it to jump start style ideas —

Embellishments
Always. At least, that’s what I believe. Makes an outfit more interesting, creates that personal touch on style, spices up an otherwise boring …

One of the things that I enjoy about being a woman is our affinity with fashion. Men will never begin to understand the joys of shopping and the act of dressing up but does it really matter? We take pleasure in putting together an outfit, wearing that pair of shoes and lugging around that favourite handbag. Call it superficial but women can argue otherwise.
Among fashionistas, there are shoe people and there are bag people. However, it doesn’t have to be that women stick with their respective preferences but there are …

Slipping on a new pair of shoes never fail to send thrill down my spine. Combine it with thoughts of style possibilities then it brings me closer to bliss. Wrap it in a box, shove it in a paper bag then hand it to me to bring home will surely keep that smile on my face and skip to my step. Shoes, my weakness. That is all.

It was my first time to seriously browse the shoe selection of Malaysian brand VNC. They’ve been around since 2003 and it’s only two …

I’m back in Manila after a long weekend away, cooling my arse off in the Summer capital of the Philippines — the ever beautiful Baguio.
I would’ve loved it if I’m here to tell you about the wonders of travel and the picturesque landscapes but, believe it, I have to start off with a major packing booboo. LOL.
I’ve grown to love traveling in flip-flops esp since it’s Summer. I really wasn’t sure if I can weather the cold weather wearing such (which I oddly did, btw) but I wanted to …

Twasn’t exactly part of the plan but, heck, I was with the gurls and it couldn’t be helped. At least, that was the case earlier. One had prodded everyone else to go shop and shop we did. LOL.
After a late lunch in CPK (Portobello Mushroom Ravioli and White Pizza with Smoked Bacon are always well-hearted, hehe), we headed toward the shops in Glorietta. My first stop is the first M — Mango. I told myself that I’ll just browse and check out what’s new (like I can’t do that online, …

A thought bubbled up in my head a few weeks ago and it was that I wanted to go get me a new tube of MAC Lipstick. Mistakenly figured as a passing fancy, that single thought enthused a thousand and one questions that were left unanswered till I found myself standing in front of a well-lit mirror with a tester in my hand. MAC in Glorietta. I guess this whim is serious or I’m just seriously going mental.
I absolutely adore the nude lippy look and I can still see myself …

Like I said, I wasn’t in the mood to go shopping that night but when I had gotten myself involved in the whole free shopping vibe after the event was over, I couldn’t resist to do a little beauty shopping on the side esp when I spotted Eyes Lips Face aka e.l.f at a counter inside The Ramp. I guess if you throw a manic shopper inside a mall, it’ll be like a kid in a candy shop. Shopping is inevitable. Nature has taken its course. Heh.
In my shopping bag:
