Im lazy to list products that I used lol. It wasnt much though coz im not wearing any foundie/concealer, I mainly focused on the eyes. If you wna know let me know and I'll answer to the best of my ability.





The first look I wore today. Boyfriend and I went to look around to look for my daddy's birthday present (but I didnt find anything he would like) He's turning 43 tomorrow!







This look was worn last night. My favorite drink when im out is "Midori Sour" and I thought it was appropriate to match my drink, lol. Okay thats kinda cheesy. Anyway we went out bar hopping with cousin's from my dad's side. One of my cousin's gave birth a month ago and hasnt been out since a few months into her pregnancy. It was so much fun, so much shots. Yuck, well most of them were so good like the Lemon Drop MMM it taste just like lemonade. I made them try their first B52. Hahaha that was funny. Anyway, the fotn...

fotd's

I've been slacking on my fotd's, I know. I haven't had the time or the energy to snap a photo and then list down what was used. But i've managed to capture two of them. The first one was what I wore tonight, we had dinner at our favorite korean restaurant - Chung Gi Wa - my korean co-worker said it means "the roofing of a house is blue" idk I couldnt really understand her accent lol. and then to Kmart to buy more shipping materials for my blog sale. But anyways I havent had the need to wear foundation lately because its been suuuper hott, but then again living on Guam, we only have 2 seasons Summer and -though its not a season- Rainy. Im so happy that I finally found the perfect (for me) and my hg facial wash/exfoliator. I don't need much coverage, YAY! Or at least I think so, what do you guys think?! Both of the looks I wasnt wearing foundation at all. And I wore the 2nd look to my cousin's 24th birthday dinner!



I also ordered a few things from the lovely and beautiful Eki-Chan. You can check out her lovely KAWAII creations here. I'll post on them once I receive them. I got 2 Charmy Bows (A), one in Purple and one in Cream. And the ultra kawaiiii Hime Pokadot B Cosmetic Pouch. I cant waiiit! Go and check out her other creations and tell her I sent ya' : )

haul, mppb

I love Sundays! Today Babe's parents came back from the Philippines, we ate lunch with them at our favorite teppanyaki restaurant - Samurai. After that we looked and shopped around at DFS (Duty Free Shop). I felt like treating myself coz I havent been shopping for makeup much or anything else for that matter.



I've been wanting to get the BenefitF.Y. Eye and I finally got it. The Urban Decay Primer Potion is kinda getting annoying. I love the product but I HATE the packaging! I opened it up and put it in the MAC Prep+Prime Eyes container, and guess what? It dried up really quick, so the product still went to waste. Let's see how this works. It claims that it doesnt crease and makes the colors more vibrant.



I love this! From the M.A.C Baby Bloom Collection, Suntints. I got it in Pink Tinge and im thinking about getting more / another color. It has SPF 20 and it feels so good on my lips. I wasnt really excited when I saw it on the website, but when we went to the MAC counter I just fell in love. I'm not really a lipstick person (which is why im selling all the lipsticks I have here) unless I find the perfect nude (close to my skin tone) color. I like lipglasses more.



I was surprised to see this at MAC, the Graphic Garden Palette. I love this, such pretty colors. This was the last one too. I wanna get the Fresh Cut one next.


Here's some swatches.


I also got a few tops from ROSS! They're so cute yet comfortable. The first one's a tube top and its kinda hard to describe the second one.





I also got these. Arent they so cute?! They look cute with my newly pedicured french toes. hehe!

I just cant believe that I actually won something. Out of so many other girls that entered, Me?! A girl from a tiny Island called Guam, which most people didnt even know existed. I am so excited, I guess there's a first for everything after all. I've wanted to get signed up for 'My Pretty Pink Box' before and yay im finally gna get started.

coastal scents order/swatches, summer bonus

Wow! It's been a while since I posted a real update. Anyway over the weekend (last week) I was just tired of feeling sick, so to kinda make me feel better I ordered the 88 warm and shimmer palette. OMG! I am so pleased and happy that I sold my 88 matte and 28 neutral and got these babies. I cant believe I've waited so long to get them.


Swatches from the warm palette.

Swatches from the shimmer palette.
There's a carshow coming up, it's tomorrow actually, and I was thinking of using the first swatch to match my bf's car. What do you think?!


I wish the Nikon d60 we ordered comes in before the show tomorrow. I doubt it but im still hoping!

Summer Bonus
So my co-workers and I were hanging out at the break room before we time out and one of our BIG bosses comes in. I thought we were going to get in trouble for being loud or something like that. But instead, she handed each of us an envelope and we looked at each other with big smiles on our faces because we knew it was that time of year when we get one of our BONUS checks (we get one in summer and one in christmas) Woooohoooo, talk about christmas in July hehe! I really wasnt expecting anything big or even expecting one at all because of the recession and business was kind of slow due to the swine flu outbreak. I know my managers wont be reading this but they still deserve a BIG THANK YOU! And now what should I shop for!? A new bag, some makeup, a few things for the bf. Im getting all excited about spending it even though I know I should save if I want to take a vacation. Quick before I go, True Story: My hand (left one) has been itchy this past week and people (filipinos to be exact) kept telling me "You're going to receive money" (it's a superstition, if you're left hand gets itchy, you're going to receive $$$. But if it's your right hand, you're going to spend). I dont know if I really believe it or if its just coinicidence but everytime my hand gets itchy, I do get money, not always alot but I do. This time, I really thought I touched something I was allergic to coz the itch just didnt go away for a few days. Yea I admit I had the thought of the whole getting money thingy but I wasnt waiting for it. And wow, now I realize I just got my bonus. Hahah lame but its kinda cool.

Anywayyysss, where are your contest entries ladiesss! I have one so far and she did a great job, but where's the rest?! Im kinda getting worried over here, cut me some slack and JOIN! Keep checking the updates on it, im thinking of pushing back the dates.
