Another beauty blog, this is my way of showing you guys the beauty loots that I use and swore into. It would usually take me months before blogging a certain beauty find because based on experience, using them once or for a week is not a good point of comparison. I’ve had products that I super like the first time I use but would find faults here and there after a couple of weeks.

Take this Covergirl Liquiline Blast Eyeliner in Black Fire as an example. I got this because the Covergirl sales lady in Robinson’s Ermita is sooo good with sales talk. So eventhough this eyeliner is a bit expensive (more than Php 400 if I’m not mistaken), we give in.

Although after a couple of tries, I started to hate it. It smudged! Giving me raccoon eyes the whole freakin’ day. I was so so sad then because I felt like I was robbed. I really didn’t like it then but I didn’t give up. I was wondering how ate was able to put the eyeliner on me (that day I bought it) and it didn’t even smudge then. I was thinking that maybe it’s because it was the trial kit. So I did some research, and tried applying it differently. Apparently, this eyeliner is best for the upper lid not the lower lid. I usually out eyeliner on my lower lid kasi which I later on found out is not right at all. I don’t know how to put winged eyeliner kasi that’s why I don’t usually put eyeliner above my lid but with just a couple of practice, I was able to find the perfect way to put eyeliner. Ng hindi OA! And this eyeliner is perfect! I love it so much now. And it’s waterproof so it stays on your lids the whole day. No need to retouch.

Again, too lazy to do a before and after shot. You just have to take my word for it!

P.S.: Been raining the whole day today. And I’m having morning sickness. I hope the weather would be better tomorrow coz I can’t afford to miss work.

I have a confession to make – I have what you call Red Lipstick Addiction. :) Blame my friend Arlene for introducing me to the world of lipstick colors. I have been using my boring Avon lipstick for ages now, you know, that color that only give your lips just enough pinkishness so as not to look too pale. But now, I am all for red lipsticks!! Yay!

I used to think that morenas are not allowed to wear red lipsticks. But now, I beg to disagree! It all boils down to the right color. And CoverGirl’s Lip Perfection in 305 Hot Passion is a perfect example. My sister has darker skin tone than mine and CoverGirl is her new bestfriend. It’s just the perfect red lipstick for morenas. Promise!

CoverGirl Hot Passion is a moisturizing lipstick but is semi-matte. It’s highly pigmented and has blue undertone, thus gave an illusion of a fairer complexion and whiter teeth. I prefer this one better than my Wet N’ Wild Stoplight Red just because it’s a moisturizing lipstick. But they are both long lasting. And both looks great on photos.

It retails at Php395 here in Manila. Very affordable. Specially if you consider the quality of the lipstick. I put lipsticks straight from the tube you see. I’m not a fan of lip brushes and so I love lipsticks that glides easily on the lips and this one is perfect.

They say that this is the “Taylor Swift lipstick”. And I can’t help but give sissy Taylor a pat on the back for wearing this one ALWAYS. :) I also can’t take it off you see.

Them red lipsticks sure made my make up routine much more easier and faster. My BBCream + Light Blush + Red Lips combo is a sure winner. It never fails.

And oh! I ended up hoarding CoverGirl make ups when all I really want is their lippies. I so loving the crème blush now. Will give you a review soon!

Blogging from a café once again. Thank God I’m just 1 tumbling away from the café and I can afford to go here even though I am still a bit sick. The heat is unbearable at home. My entire family’s squeezing on my baby brother’s bed for comfort. Siya lang kasi ang may karapatan mag-aksaya ng kuryente sa bahay namin. Lahat kami wala! Kesehodang mamatay ka sa init wag kang mage-aircon!! Nyahahaha..

I’m wearing another DIY’d top here. I am so loving all my DIY projects. I just realized that most of the clutter in my closet are composed of items that I don’t wear because they are so out of season. And what’s a girl to do? Give them a make over of course! ano pa’t self-proclaimed fashionista ako!!!

This top is an old lola shirt. Those oversized polo that our granny’s love to wear, remember? They kinda made a short come back last year and I rummaged some old clothes on our stash and this is one of them. This is a short-sleeved shirt that I use for layering then. But the sleeves are really big and since it’s short-sleeved and oversized, the sleeve length is kinda weird. So, what I did is cut off the sleeves, and tie it at the front for that summery feel. :) I love that after cutting off the sleeves, it leaves a humongous armhole for a little peek-a-boo. Diba?! Lakas maka-summer!!

I love my top’s fabric. I think most of our lola shirt are like that – soft and breezy. I have 2 more and I am planning on doing the same. Those 2 other shirts are printed. Yes, they are lola prints! But I think if I cut them, they’ll be perfect for summer. And this kind of top can be worn with skirts, pants or shorts as seen here. You can tie them in front like what I did here or just tuck it in. You can also keep the buttons open and make it a vest. I swear! I have loads of things in mind already. I tried the vest thing and it’s too cute for words. Will try to post them here soon. :)

Decided to pair my “new-old-top” with a floral shorts, sandals, my ever cute bayong, a high bun and red lippies!! So ready for summer. Perfect outfit for the mall. I can also see myself wearing the same if I’m out of town. You know, while jumping from one tourist spot to another as you take a gazillion of photos and loads of jump shots!! :) Aminin nyo, DSLR nalang na nakasabit sa leeg ang kulang, turistang turista na ang peg ko!

DIY’d Shirt: Vintage | Floral Shorts: Divisoria | Sandals: Gift | Bayong: E.G.G. | High Bun: Goody Spin Pins | Lippies: Covergirl Lip Perfection in Hot Passion | Earrings: from my cousin | Watch: Esprit | Sunnies: Charlie

Say hi to my paparazzi shot!! :) Thanks lil’ sis for taking my look shots in front of so many people at the mall. You gotta give sissy a pat in the back and a huge hug to yours truly for being such a brave girl.

P.S.: These pictures made me realize how important make up is in doing fashion blogs. I went to the Covergirl stall at the mall and the very nice beauty consultant kinda did my make up here. :) Which made me hoard their stuff. Well actually, it’s just two lippies, crème blush and an eye liner. But I whatever! Mahal padin sya! Anyway, nagustuhan ko naman so carry lang.
