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 …

A few posts ago, when I mentioned that the office dress code (where I work) is quite accommodating, what I actually meant was that I can actually come in a simple t-shirt and jeans combo.
For the sake of argument, this particular outfit is not your typical t-shirt and jeans look — note that I even took on a Levi’s white and blue colour palette, which was popularized by that old TVC — but, technically, it simply is what it is (a t-shirt and jeans outfit). IMHO, it’s all a matter …

It’s a sick day (been sick since Saturday afternoon) but it’s not going to stop me from having a bit of fun. While leaving Jerry Maguire on telly, I tinkered with Skype — taking snapshots via the webcam.

Found it a bit disconcerting to be using a webcam to take a photo, a first for me. Hehe

I should be resting this fever out instead of doing silly things but hey sure was fun! LOL

Most decent out of the lot. Hopefully, you folks can see the makeup.
I had grown a bit …

It’s all part of growing up. Responsibilities multiply and would either nag you into irritation or push you to be a better person. No matter how much stomping you do, they simply won’t go away. Best to accept and deal with them accordingly. Our portions are as it should be. It’s all a matter of patience and good time management.
Waking up at 3am wasn’t part of the plan and had laboured to go back to sleep but was unsuccessful. I dragged my arse off my bed and decided to …

I know Sunday was Father’s Day but twas decidedly spent with my gurlfriend, Penny. Reason was that Dads ought to spend the day with the kids to celebrate the special day, so the girls now have time to play! Heehee.
We actually had a few things needed done that day — something I’d like to call beauty errands, hehe — have our eyebrows threaded and buy a few beauty stuff, all part of prepping for the wedding (she’s part of the entourage and I’ll be their hair and makeup artist AND …

For folks who helped me make up my mind via Plurk, here’s a look at the short and thin black number I ended up wearing. Yes, it’s short enough since it rides up a good 6 inches above the knee and thin enough to tempt you not to wear anything underneath for fear of knicker lines ruining it. Thoughts?
I was facing back-to-back events that night and just thinking about it was already stressful. I wasn’t particularly looking forward to dressing up and putting makeup on. I knew I’ll be …

Yes, howdy folks! LOL.
One of the things I remember about my visits to Baguio when I was little was going horseback riding in Wright Park so can you guess what this particular tourist did? Er, duh. I went horseback riding!
Growing up, I’ve had this fascination with horses and had dreams of owning one (out of my budget, of course). And the last time I was on a horse, I reckon I was around 8 years old. So when I found myself in Wright Park, I just couldn’t let the …

Ever heard of the saying, “Always the bridesmaid, never the bride” before? Well, that’s me. Not that I’m complaining. LOL. But yea, I played bridesmaid over the weekend to my dear, dear friend’s wedding. A very special and poignant ceremony held somewhere in the metro.
In the bridesmaid roster, I was joined by my other close friends.

I don’t know about you folks but I certainly found the fact that I know how to do makeup on occasions such as this one, very, very useful. …

Today’s a sick day but I’m well enough to spend some time updating Style Manila. However, before I go on with the more serious fashion-slash-beauty posts, I thought it’d be cool to share another weekend (one before last) that I had with friends and family.

It started out with a Hens Party held at Manila Peninsula, Makati City that I organised for a friend who’s scheduled to tie the knot a week and some days from today. Still can’t believe that she’s saying goodbye to the single life but, hey, I’m …

It’s funny how I ended up posting my review on the Neutrogena liquid foundation first before this blush which I’ve been using relatively far longer. Heh. But I’m glad that I’ve finally managed to sit down and get my thoughts down on this makeup. Note that the following statements will be coming from a very satisfied customer. I’m actually loving this blush, the Neutrogena Soft Color Blush in Divine Wine (90).

After my passionate love affair with the NARS Blush in Super Orgasm, I thought I’d find it difficult to find …
