Long lashes

Hi! How are you all doing? I hope you're doing well. I've been sick for couple of days. Thankfully, I'm better now, I can go back to the swing of things and I'm pretty excited with my up coming vacation to the Philippines, hence I need to start preparing. Before I jump into those things, I just want to share my new "lash routine". My lashes are my babies. LOL. It's probably my favourite part of doing my makeup. 

My new fave mascara is this Maybelline Illegal length fiber extensions. Because my lashes are naturally straight, I like using the waterproof formula and of course mascaras that lengthen them. Also, I have the blackest black. I love combing (the pink cute little comb with a spooly from the dollar store) through it after it dried and voila! instant volume! 

Whenever I look at my pictures I would always try to see if my lashes is noticeable and I would be happy if it is. I know, I'm weird like that. :)

What is your favourite makeup products? I would love to know. 

Tulip tango

From Maybelline's Spring collection "Tulip tango". They actually have 3 more colors, based on what I saw in the store, but I only picked this on up to try. It's the perfect coral for me. The application is a little bit of a disappointment, it was hard to get an even application. It took 3 coats to even it out. The 3rd coat had to be thicker as well. But the color is just so gorgeous! Also, it dries pretty fast and I liked the brush.

Have you tried any of their spring colors?

Time for some goodies I bought and enjoying. It's a combination of different things from nails to makeup to accessory. These are the things I bought since my last post.

Let's start with the makeup and a skincare, shall we?

I was planning to buy the Clinique All about eyes concealer because I heard good feedbacks on those, but when I got to the store, the MUA talk me into buying the Biotherm eye cream because according to her, my main issue is not dark circles but dehydration of the skin under my skin. Needless to say I gave in, even though I didn't plan on spending money on another eye cream, I still have my Olay one, but yeah I still bought it. I've been using it for few weeks now, I haven't seen any major improvement yet but hopefully it'll make some difference for my under eye area. Those late nights and lack of sleep is taking its toll on me that's why I'm into eye products lately and of course trying to be good at sleeping early and taking care of my skin. 

She also picked up the CoverGirl concealer instead of the clinique one. I didn't really liked the CG so yesterday, I picked up the Maybelline Age rewind under eye concealer. Also, I'm excited try out this L'oreal True match foundation. I love the powder version of this that's why I thought I could give this a try.

Hot Tamale and Peach Satin

Finally got myself the Maybelline's Dream bouncy blush. In the store, I got to try the Hot tamale but I also loved the Peach Satin. 

On to the nails, two of these already made their appearance in my latest nail post, haha! 

From left: Nicole by OPI's Play Fair, L'oreal's Versailles Romance, Sally hansen's Black out and Yellow Mellow, and Revlon's Dreamer. 

Orgnx Moringa Oil Complex. This is suppose to revive dry damaged hair. I use this every time after I wash my hair and I love how it makes my hair shiny without feeling greasy. 

Lastly, an Aldo watch. I'm not a big watch person but every time I see rose gold watch I can't help myself but want one. So, until I can decide on whether I should buy the Michael Kors watch, I'm pretty happy with my Aldo one. 

Any fave buys you want to share? Feel free to share it here. Thank you for your time and until next time. :) Have a great WEEKEND.

Hi my friends. How are you? I hope you're all doing well. 

There are times when you're feeling a little down, stressed out or you feel like nothing seems to go right. That is what I've been feeling for the last couple of days and there are things I like to do to help me relax a bit or to just get my mind off of what's bothering me. Sometimes I like to eat some of my comfort foods like ice cream, chocolates or cook something. Sometimes I like to go to my local drugstore or to the near by mall and just immerse myself into the colourful makeup, nail polishes and clothes or to just feel the chaos around many people busy with their own thing. Even if I won't be buying stuff, but just being able to channel out my mind from what's going on in my day is enough for me. I don't know if there are a lot of ladies like me but I know I'm not alone with this (ha ha) and I must say, it helps. 

That was a long intro for my "haul" but I also would like to open up a bit and share my thoughts here because this blog serves not only for beauty purpose but to express my thoughts as well. Even though I don't update my blog everyday, I feel so happy every time I was able to put something up. It makes me feel good that I was able to share what I love to the people / community I know I share the same passion with. 

Okay unto to the things I picked up for the last couple of days.

I finally was able to get my hands on this very popular "Aussie 3 minute miracle" deeeeeep conditioner (ha ha). I used it yesterday and besides the smell, I love it. I also picked up Revlon lip butters in "Strawberry shortcakes" and "Tutti frutti". I'm loving the Maybelline's Illegal length mascara and my very first nail polish from them "Express finish in Tulip tango". 

These EOS lip balm went on sale last week so I bought "sweet mint" and "honeydew".

I've been wanting to buy a nude shoes for a while so went I saw this on Winners I know I have to buy them. Even though I'm petite, I still prefer flats or these kind of heels. I'm always going for the comfortable-yet-a-little-bit-stylish look.

Lastly, this lacy top I also got at Winners. It's a little loose and very sheer which is perfect for summer.

We live in a world full of beautiful things and these are what really matters.

Thank you for your time and I hope we all have a great week end.
