Wednesday is Yoga day! well, for me at least. hehehe Anyway, I know some of you are already familiar with the Colour Collection Ultimate Wear lipsticks which came out last year.  I was able to snag a couple of shades at Sample Room and had already worn these in several occasions.

I'm slacking off from my posts again. huhu. It's been a really rough week, and I'm literally drained.  There's so much going on at work lately and my baby Ehron had fever for the past 4 days. Good thing he's all better now.  Anyway, I just wanted to show you this lip gloss that I had in my kit for some time now. It's pretty and it's something that can be worn on a daily basis, if you like glossy lips.

So, a couple of months ago I ordered a few products from Dresslily.com. After about a month of waiting, the items finally arrived!


Dresslily is a leading international online fashion clothing and accessory store. They offer everything from gorgeous Women's Clothing, Intimate Lingerie, Bags, Women's Shoes, Wigs, Fashion Jewelry and Accessories, and many more fantastic items at super affordable prices.

Would you believe me if I told you, that I got all three items for less than $20 dollars? Yes, that's right. My total amount was only $19.00+ and the best part is, they offer FREE Shipping Worldwide to more than 200 countries!

I won't keep you waiting, here's what I got.


Some girls are more drawn to buying shoes and bags. However, I on the other hand have a thing for wrist watches. I tend to be attracted to white watches most of the time. hehe


So, the first thing I bought from the site was this Fashion "WoMaGe" Rhinestone Decoration Oversized watch. I liked how this looked in person, unfortunately both the long and short hand were already broken when it arrived. huhuhu... I had this checked and the cost for repairing it is just the same as buying a new one since this only cost around $4. So, I didn't proceed with having this repaired.

I've recently enrolled to an Ashtanga Yoga class and I've discovered a couple of products that proved to be long lasting even with all the sweat coming out due to yoga practice.

Wouldn't you love to place your bets on someone you can trust? Imagine this: Someone who promises to stand by you through tears—both happy and sad. Someone who helps transform you into the best you that you can possibly be. Someone who brings out the sparkle in your eye. The same criteria apply to eyeliners.



The Happy Skin team sent me two shades of their eyeliner, in Chic Brown and Peppermint. This was sent together with the Summer Collection a few months ago which you can check HERE.


I honestly love the packaging of this gel eyeliner. It's quite cute but still chic at the same time. This is an Auto pencil, so you only need to twist in order to get the product out. The tiny sharpener at the bottom always comes in handy, whenever I want the tip of my eyeliner to be sharper.



Here is how Chic Brown looks when worn. If you notice it is not completely matte since it has visible gold shimmers.

Happy Skin Eye Am Here To Stay 24h Gel Pencil Auto Eyeliner in the shade Chic Brown – is a deep cocoa tinge that gives eyes a soft, natural shape. Best for those who want their eyes to appear bigger.


This is how the Peppermint shade looks on me. I was skeptical with this shade at first, since it's the first time I've seen a mint shade eyeliner. But when I tried it on my waterline, it definitely was an instant wake me up kind of eyeliner!

Happy Skin Eye Am Here To Stay 24h Gel Pencil Auto Eyeliner in the shade Peppermint – is a better alternative to white and flesh eyeliner, this is the perfect eye brightener!

Here is yet another eyeshadow swatch fest. I've had these eye shadows since December last year and there's one shade that I really fell in love with.

I haven't posted a haul in a really long time. However, I got a few checks off my To-Buy list so I'm happily sharing this with you. I know it's not a huge haul like the ones you've seen from other beauty enthusiasts who tend to go crazy with their spending. (I don't have that kind of luxury LOL) I just buy those makeup products that I really want in my kit.

Gah! my apologies for the 10-day hiatus! I haven't had the chance to blog about anything last week since my brother borrowed my Canon (point & shoot) Camera. I use that particular camera whenever I take swatches of products since it is lightweight and easy to use. I always have a hard time taking swatches using my DSLR camera because it's too heavy to take a steady shot with just one hand.

Anyway, I'm back and happy to share with you some products that I emptied for the past few months. I had another batch of empties earlier this year but I decided to skip blogging about it since most of the products from that batch are items that I already talked about.


I know these are just basic hair and body products, but I though you might be interested to know what I've been using at the moment.


Watsons Hair Removal Cream for Sensitive Skin - the tube says it contains Aloe vera and Vitamin E. This is actually my second tube and it's pretty good, to be honest. It really works and it's affordable too. It also comes with it's own unique plastic spatula thingy, which I use to apply the cream on my legs and remove them after a good 15 minutes.  This big tube is regularly priced at 199, but I got it for Php150 during their sale last spring. I use the hair removal cream on both my legs and the tube can last for 2 - 3 uses depending on your leg size. This also comes in a smaller tube priced at Php 99 only.

Human Nature Natural Feminine Wash in Chamomile Cool - This is my all time favorite feminine wash. It really does relieve itchiness and keeps me feeling fresh all day. This 50ml bottle can last for up to 3 months, depending on usage. (this is actually my 5th bottle of this variant) The best part is, it's super affordable at Php 54.75 only.


H2O Plus Face Oasis Dual-Action Exfoliation Cleanser - the tube says, it refines texture and energizes tone. I got this product from my Sample Room Holiday Goodie Bag. It costs Php1,750 for 120ml at the SM Beauty Section. I've been using this 30ml sample tube day and night for almost 4 months, and I have to say, it does what it is supposed to do. I'm even surprised that this tiny tube lasted this long. 


I only need a pea-sized amount of this product to wash my entire face and neck. It smells nice, similar to that of mild ocean scents. It lathers really well and also contains tiny beads that melts while I massage it on my face. I actually really like this cleanser, since it leaves my face feeling smooth and well hydrated. I would have bought this cleanser, if only it wasn't so expensive.

Marks & Spencer Warm Pomegranate Shower Gel - (the pink tube in the first photo) It's just a regular shower gel that smells like pomegranate. It's not as moisturizing as the other ones I've tried before, but doesn't leave my skin feeling dry at all. I got this as a Christmas present from my best friend last December, so I don't know how much this cost.

Syoss Repair Therapy Shampoo - this 190ml bottle cost around Php85 pesos only. It says, Intensive repair for smooth and shiny hair. It's my second time using this shampoo, it helped my hair feel soft and smooth. I didn't notice if it made my hair shiny though, but I think the Keratin content helped revived my dry and frizzy hair. I also don't feel the need to use a conditioner every time I use this shampoo. It's not bad all considering the affordable price.

Vitress Heat Protect Cuticle Coat - I like to apply this while my hair is damp since it can be a bit sticky on the palm of my hands. Once my hair dries, I noticed how easy it is to DE-tangle and hand-comb my hair. It keeps my hair looking healthy (not shiny) and has minimal frizz with this cuticle coat on. It retails around Php60+

Pantene All Day Smooth Miracle Water - This is actually my second bottle already and overall, I like it. It's an awesome product, especially if you don't like sticky creams or oils since this is water-based. I apply about three pumps of this product while my hair is still damp. It helps my hair become less frizzy. When my hair dries, it looks healthier, it feels softer and smoother but not shiny. If you just want a hair product that helps tame your hair without looking greasy, this would be it.

Lacoste Touch of Pink perfume - I received this as a Christmas present from one of my girl friends, last December 2013. This isn't a typical scent that I'd enjoy, but it's not bad at all. It is not overpowering like I thought it would be, it actually smells fresh, sporty and feminine, but a little sharp on the first spray.

I'm back! I have been really busy with taking care of my kiddos after work, so I didn't have time to blog for almost two weeks. Long story, short... my baby's nanny didn't come back. She was supposed to take a one week leave. We waited 2 weeks for her to come back, but she didn't and we never heard from her again. I had to find a replacement asap, and I finally found one... Okay nuff talk about me.

I got the Ellana Minerals Lip and Cheek Gel from my January BDJ Box subscription early this year. I've been using it on days when I just need a quick makeup fix.
