MUG-ing on a sunday :))

out of curiosity.. why do i have a thing for make up lately?
well, the thought came to me one day realizing that i need to learn how to apply make up so that in the future, i'll be somebody my daughter can rely in to for school programs. :)) i know, i know, i'm thinking way ahead and a little weird. but, that's that. :))

but the one who gave me a push into really trying was Marlena of Make Up Geek.
so for those curious, you can meet her. :)

nyx round lipsticks

i finally had time to write my long over due review of my nyx round lipsticks. been busy with my socials the past days, sorry. :P

as i've posted on my last blog entry, i've purchased some make-up products from Le Faerie Cosmetics. a 78 eye palette combo and 2 nyx round lipsticks.

i will be doing my review on nyx lipsticks today since i haven't tried my eye palettes yet. --can someone give me an eye shadow brush for christmas? :DD

here they are! :)

side by side

snow white

doll

i've been using my nyx doll more often than my snow white. well, for obvious reasons, it's more day to day than the red one. but i love them both. :)

how's its texture? i love how thin it feels on my lips. at most times, i'm not aware i have it on. very wearable.
is it long lasting? well, it is the same for most lipsticks i guess. though i commend how the stain remains on your lips even after dinner. you can just do a little retouch and you're good to go. :)
color? well, no regrets on it! loving it both. :)
cost? very reasonable for me at Php 200 each. --i'm not familiar on how much nyx costs on  other sites or on stores though. but i say, this is a good deal. --right? XD
will i buy again? i'm actually considering purchase on different shades, hihi. --after i've done justice on the ones i have first, bwahaha. XD

i've taken time into showing you how it looks like on my lips. apologies for the noob edit and crappy reso. did it on paint. --the only way i know how to do pictures. :))
shot was taken from my s95 cam in auto one afternoon. hihi.

this shade is working for me. it's close to my natural lip color so i can wear it daily. note: i'm not an everyday-make-up woman.

snow white
ok, the picture did not bring it justice. i don't know why. but it's hard for me to capture it in its actual shade. effects of the afternoon sun, maybe? i'll try to take a photo of me wearing it sometime that will bring this shade justice and post it.
it's not sooper red when worn that's why i love it. it's not flashy red so i can almost wear it everyday too. :)


so, that's about it. i apologize for giving a crappy review. i'm so not into doing reviews of anything. but a promise is a promise. haha. XD

online purchasing

i'm fond of shopping online. i dunno, i feel the convenience of it. i haven't made a lot of purchases though, just window shopping. hihi. :D

but last week, i made a purchase from an online make up store. i transacted for it last thursday afternoon and received my package last saturday night. --it felt weird receiving a courier package at 9:30 pm. :))

and good thing it arrived on time, as promised. :)

i purchased a 78 eye combo palette and 2 nyx round lipsticks.
and i'm loving them! :D
--i have yet to try my eye palette once i know how to use it, hihi.

but so far, i'm loving my nyx lipsticks! :)
it takes a lot of getting used to since i'm really new with everything about make up. but so far, i love how it looks on me. :D

for review, i'll really post a blog for it. maybe this evening at work or tomorrow afternoon.
they deserve a review, hehe.

posted below are my purchases from Le Faerie Cosmetics. :)

i really have a thing with not removing plastic packaging XD


---

story 1:
my oso and i are walking home from dinner at old manda last saturday at around 7pm...

me: bebe, i still haven't received my package, sabi nila isang araw lang ang delivery. saturday na. :((
oso: [binatukan ako] bakit ba hindi ka nadadala? magkano na naman 'yang sinayang mo..


story 2:
i was opening my newly arrived package last saturday night around 10 pm...

kaye: ate, hindi ka ba natatakot bumili online?
me: natatakot. pero i need to try, right?


out of 4 purchases online, 3 were successful. i got scammed the first time. :))
i don't want to say that i'm really hard headed and i never learn that's why i did it again. but, i know i did. learn. and i need to try again, don't i? when i first experienced being scammed, it made me more careful and aware when i want to buy online. and so far, after that day, my purchasings were great. :)

since 1947

this blog is dedicated to the ham and chese bread i just consumed. :]


whenever i think about binondo or manila, one of the things that pops into my mind is ongpin st. if you're familiar with the streets of manila, ongpin is at the heart of manila's chinatown where delicious dimsums, chinese medicines, and other chinese delicacies are found.

my mom and my tito always takes us there whenever we are in that part of the city. whatever we have done in the day, wherever we have been around manila, at the end of it, we always have our dinner at this chinese restaurant at ongpin.
the chinese restaurant we go to is famous for its dimsums. and boy, it is soooopperrr good. --thinking about it now make my mouth water. and to think it's almost dinner time. ---never thought i'm torturing myself by doing this post. :))

but i'm not to talk about that restaurant. --since the name is in chinese and it's always too long to remember. but you can't miss it. it's in ongpin, near mang inasal's. hehe. XD

the reason for this blog lies on the ham and cheese bread i ate for merienda a few hours back. :)

after each dinner on the chinese restaurant we go to, we never ever fail to stop by salazar bakery. :D
yup. this is dedicated to the bread shop who made me love hopias, moon cakes, tikoys and sunflower seeds. hihi. :]
i'm not really a fan of bread. i seldom eat bread. but salazar made me love bread.

their breads are really different, i might say. just opening their store doors will make you say that you're into an awesome bread shopping. their breads smell sweet and its heavy. that ham and cheese bread alone i ate still made me full up to this time of writing.

so why am i sharing this? well, it's to let you know that their ham and cheese bread is the most awesome ham and cheese bread i have eaten so far. it's my first time trying it. and yes! the ham inside is thick and it's whole. it's not like the others that has minced or stripped ham inside. it really has a whole thick square ham! awesome! the cheese? it's overstuffed with it. cheese lovers would love it! :P~ and it's really facinating how the ham and cheese never overpowered each other. it complimented the bread! it's awesome. :DD if you'll ask me about the bread. well, it's typical salazar bread. heavy, tough, and sweet. :DD it's not fluffy nor soft. and i like my bread that way. :DD and definitely, i'll buy it next time! :D

will post it's picture once i have my phone cable with me. left it at home, hihi. :]

update [11/14/2011]

it can stand alone :))

look at the ham and cheese :P~

the bath mat chronicle

ok, this is a first time for me..
i'll be blogging something that just happened yesterday. :))
before i get lazy, i'll do this na.. XD


i belong to a group way back in HS that is called LPG. we were a 10 girl group established when we were in 3rd year HS, around 2002. what does LPG stands for? well, that's all in the past. let's drop it at that. XD

from time to time we see each other. and from time to time meant that we only see each other atleast once a year after HS graduation. :)) college made us busy. and after college, most of the time, we only see each other when jena comes back from qatar. she works there.

after much talk, txt and dinner, our plan for a get together happened yesterday. ♥


we rented out a nearby hotel suite overnight. we swam, ate, watched tv/movie, gamble and drink our hearts out. hihi. XD we have other friends over too for more fun. :D

i can't say much of how i felt being with my girls. but it is always the same. they never fail to make me happy. :)

pictures from my cam are posted below. i'll update --fingers crossed --when the others have posted their shots.

early birds :)

semi candid photo XD
