HOORAH! Are these for real? Yes, my dear!!!

OH. MY. GOSH!!! This is one of the products that I've always wanted to get from Bobbi Brown, the GEL LINER and I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this in my loot. What I like about gel liners is the fact that it doesn't smudge on me. I don't know about you but whenever I use gel liners to line my eyes, they always stay in place and last me the whole day. So I thought, what more if my gel liner would be from Bobbi Brown? Yes?! I guess the beauty fairies heard my silent wish and granted my request through the event! Ohweee!

I am in love with this blush! First of all, it's matte - #yay! And second, its color is perfect when you want to have that natural looking blush. The color is like the offspring of pink and mauve - absolutely gorgeous!

I can't help but compare it to my lip glosses from Elizabeth Arden because they are very much alike! The texture, the finish, the stickiness and even the color. It's not a bad thing because I like my Elizabeth Arden lip glosses. The only advantage of this baby over my EA lippies is its size. This one from Bobbi Brown is bigger. 

Whoa! Hello there, red!!! Since April of this year, I've been hooked to red lippies which is why I kind of hoarded a few red AVON lipsticks when I went back to the Philippines in that same month. The thing is, I've stopped craving for red lippies for quite a while, so I was kinda surprised to get two bold red lippies in my gift box. 

Well, what can I expect?! Red is like the default holiday lipstick shade and seems to be the official lip color for the red carpet, so why not just enjoy the moment and simply indulge myself in these two highly pigmented and truly amazing RED lipsticks, right? After all, red lips never go out of style. *wink*

Now I'm thinking of rocking either of these two lippies on the Women's Fashion Week next week. Oh yeah, speaking of, I got invited again so expect a blogpost about it after the event. #doubleyay! Check out last year's Women's Fashion Week here. And that's it for now!

Hello everyone! A very wonderful Monday morning to all of you. Today I want to share with you another makeup tutorial in my Valentine's Day Series. This makeup look is perfect for those daytime post Valentine's dates. It's more on the neutral side of things, so it's definitely super wearable. So, here's the video. Enjoy!

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:

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!

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.

Ever since I first saw a video on YouTube about a girl opening her “surprise box” (‘coz it is how I want to call it), I have already been in the search for something like that here in Singapore. The first subscription box that I find very enticing is Birchbox. So, I started looking for a Singapore version of it and luckily I found BellaBox!

My first surprise box arrived on 17^th August, Friday night and I just can’t contain the happiness I felt upon seeing my very own surprise box for the first time. And instead of four products, I got six and a bonus item – an “I love SG inspired beach bag” (although I have to say that I don’t really find the bag so interesting).
