Christmas is that one time of the year where we shouldn't have any excuses at all to remember who Christ is in our lives. He is the reason we live right now and He is the reason why we celebrate Christmas. It is okay to be happy about other things on Christmas day, just don't forget what and who it is for. Merry Christmas to all you!!!



Note: The video was recorded using my Iphone4S and I was trying as hard as I could not to cry the whole time I was singing that song. It's made me cry a ton before I even decided to create this video.

I got a request from anajanemejia14 (https://www.youtube.com/anajanemejia14) to make a dramatic smokey look and so here it is. It may not be as dramatic as you expect it to be but it's what I can absolutely wear if I'll go for a night out. Thumbs up for more makeup tutorials!

Finally, the last part and the longest of my three-part series collective haul. For photos of the items that I purchased for the Women's Fashion Week 2012 here in Singapore, you can click here.



If you're from Singapore and you haven't heard or been to a Smoochiezz event, here is the link for more information: http://smoochiezz.com/

Note: Photos are to follow as I am super busy at the moment.

This entry is an obvious continuation of my previous one. This Haul Part 2 feautures all the stuffs that I bought from the drugstore (Guardian) and from FairPrice.

Here are the list of things that I bought from Guardian, which I mentioned in the video:

• Round Facial Pads (S$5.75)
• Maybelline Gel Liner (S$16.72)
• Bioderma Sebium H20 (S$12.72)
• Simple Wipes (S$12.56)

Here are the list of things that I got from FairPrice:

• St. Ives (S$8.90)
• Eversoft (S$11.90)

Then I got these two also from FairPrice but on a different occasion so I don't have the receipt anymore:

• Biore
• Neutrogena Oil Control

*NOTE: Because I've been very busy these past few days, photos for each of the items are to follow...

When I started working in 2006, I didn’t have the luxury of spending my salary all to myself. I have so many responsibilities to my family that I ended up always buying only the stuffs that I need and not those that I simply want. I’ve been used to that setup until I got married and quit from my work. It’s only at the start of this year that I started buying things that I really want for myself and not just those that I need. You see, I turned 28 this year so that just totally made me a late bloomer in multiple levels. Hahaha.


I divided this collective haul into three parts because if I didn’t, this video will just be OH SO LONG! Filming this whole video took me almost an hour so cutting it down to fit a maximum 12-minute length video is really a difficult task. Hahaha. 

First off, let me be the first one to greet you all a very Merry Christmas and an advanced Happy New Year! Speaking of Christmas, I'm quite surprised by how early I received my December Bellabox. Needless to say, I'm both happy and impressed. That is why I immediately filmed an unboxing video the following day.


I am really pleased with everything I got for this month. The size of the sample products they sent me for this month is slightly bigger than usual, so I got really ecstatic in this video. They even sent me a full sized product and two bonus products which are all very unexpected. They are really exceptionally generous this month. Hence, I'm a very happy camper right now!



Here are the list of the products I received and the description below each photo is exactly what's written on the card that it came with:

It hasn't been too long since my husband and I composed a song about letting go of someone you actually never had. And for those of you who have seen my videos and "might be" wondering about the song that always plays at the end of each of my past videos, well it's "that" song, hahaha.

So here's my video singing that song and I hope you all enjoy it! <3

I didn't try a ton of new products for the month of November, so I ended up loving just a few things. Here's my November Edition of Things I Love!



*Song at the end: There's Never You & Me (by: thelatebloomer11)

Products Mentioned:
Elizabeth Arden 12 E/S & 2 Blushes Makeup Palette
How to Look the Best at Everything by Benefit
Elizabeth Arden High Shine Lip Gloss in Berrylicious
Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Blushing Mauve

I didn't mention in the video, but I also got hooked with Tiny Tower for the whole month of November up to this date. I downloaded it after watching too many of Ingrid's vlogyear 2011. I first heard of the game from Elle Fowler or Allthatglitters21 on YouTube but I didn't pay much attention to it back then. However after watching one of Ingrid's vlogs where she said so much about Tiny Tower, I got really interested in it and immediately downloaded the app.

I didn't get the hang of it as quickly as expected I would, so I stopped playing it. Not until my hubby borrowed my phone and played it that I got interested again to try and play it. He also downloaded the app on his own phone and continued passing the time playing the game. I think he got more addicted to it than I did, LOL. I now have 21 floors while he has 40 already. Hahaha.

Not too long ago, I created an Ice Queen Inspired Makeup Tutorial so when I attended the Women’s Fashion Week 2012 here in Singapore and saw Moiselle’s editorial campaign for their latest Fall Winter collection, it’s like telling me that I’m destined to see the show even before I received my official invite.

• B2-26, Canal Level, The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands
• Telephone: +65 6688 7768
• Opening Hours: Sunday-Thursday (10am-11pm) / Friday & Saturday (10am-Midnight)

P.S. Photos were taken with an Iphone so it definitely doesn't do those beautiful dresses justice, but these photos should already give you an idea of how magnificent their new collection is.

 

I haven’t done an OOTD in a while, so when my husband and I went out one Sunday (18^th Nov.), I decided to make one. He brought the camera and the tripod as we planned to do an OOTD video at the Gardens By The Bay. Before heading there, we ate first at our favorite Filipino fast-food restaurant at Lucky Plaza, and when we’re about to go there, the delivery guy for one of the items that we ordered online called my husband on his phone telling him that he’s already nearby our house. We tried to arrange for the time so we could still go on with our plan, but it didn’t work out. In short, the OOTD video got cancelled. We just had to go home as no one’s home and we’ve been waiting for that item for days, so...






By the way, as soon as we arrived home, the rain started to fall… and then a few minutes more, it began pouring. So, I guess, it’s also good that things didn’t go as planned. Haha.
