Get Glowing!

For a couple of weeks now I've been getting several compliments on my complexion, most especially on the the pinkish glow on my cheeks. :)

Several intrigued ladies from the office have approached me to ask me what it was I put on my cheeks.

They say the effect is instantly luminous. At the same time natural.

Well I've decided to let everyone in on my secret. Contrary to what some would think and say (which is to never share your beauty secret/s), I actually feel giddy when I share and talk about my 'kikay' stuff. And I urge others to try them out as well. Swapping info and beauty tips and tricks in the office is an instant pick me up.

This is not unheard of. In fact I knew about it through a magazine.

I bought my tub in Beauty Bar. I think it retailed at around 1.6k-1.8k... a bit pricey. But absolutely worth every penny.

The flush is instant, natural, and it makes you look radiant and healthy and happy. :) I put this on and keep everything else minimal. Just a dab here and there of my Guerlain Parure powder and a swipe of lip balm or red lip gloss, curl my lashes, and I'm all set.

Definitely, another girl must-have.

Anyone have any blusher or make-up secrets to share? :)

Shoe Week! :)) - FRIDAY

I feel really classy and sophisticated when I wear this pair... A co-worker of mine once told me I looked like a princess while I was wearing these (not a fairytale princess, but most likely the modern day princesses out there with their uberly sophisticated outfits).

Mark and I had to go all the way to Trinoma to get these in my size because the Wade store in Eastwood Mall didn't have them in size 6 and I could not wait for more than a couple of days to own this pair. Haha.

I'd have waited if it was really necessary...I'm sure. Coz this is just so worth any amount of waiting. :)



Wade Vintage-looking Pumps - P699, on sale :)

Shoe Week! :)) - THURSDAY

I've only worn them once before today... And borrowing from Carrie Bradshaw's lines: "They hurt my feet...But I love them."

I'm fervently hoping my feet will get used to them and feel nothing after some time.

I'd wear them every single day if I could. Teehee. :)



T-strap Wedges - People are People, P999

Shoe Week! :)) - WEDNESDAY

What I love about this pair (aside from it's fun plaid print), is that it's funky yet girly at the same time.

On days when I want to add some punch to a rather dull oufit...



This ups my game a good number of notches. ;P

Open-toe Mary Janes - P699, SM Parisian

Shoe Week! :)) - TUESDAY

Fun, Yellow and Weaved.

I like making this pair stand out by wearing it with neutrals.

And since they're peeptoes...you can wear them with anything! :))






Celine Shoes: around 700-800 (got them on sale :)))

Shoe Week! :)) - MONDAY

Got this pair at Shang ri la mall at Celine.

If you've read my older posts, by now you know I'm a sucker for anything with ruffles...




even on shoes. ;))))

Celine Point Pumps with Ruffle details - around P700

Shoe Week! :))

I've been hankering on buying a new pair of shoes for the past few weeks... But I also have this thing about not overspending and spending my money on the things I need first...

I know, I know... a shoe addict like me needs fab shoes. All. The. Time. But I'm also trying to be practical. I've come a long way you know. There was a time I'd buy like 4-5 pairs in a month. That was fun. Hehe.

So to control myself from succumbing to any withdrawal from my already good development, i decided to make it shoe week this week. LOL. You may think it's suicide and I should be feeding my brain different thoughts other than shoes... But I think that if I blog about my footwear and see how many of them are still as fabulous as they were when I bought them and how many are just sitting idle around my condo unit, I'll be reinforced to think that I DON'T really need new shoes... I can reinvent and revive the ones I have now.

This should be fun. :)

Featured Item

Since I like dressing up (and even dressing down)...I decided to post potential outfits on my online store featuring key pieces I am selling there.

For this week's featured item, it's one of my favorite tops ever. A vintage flowy top with lace detail. Check out all the outfits I came up with! Go visit my store. :))

Beauty Review: Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler

If I there's one thing in my make-up kit I'd bring everywhere with me, whether I'm all-dressed up for a party, or dressed down for a lazy weekend with Mark... it would be my Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler.

I've been putting off making a review for this little baby mainly because I don't think it needs much introduction, much more a whole review. Hehe.

But do let me gush about it.

Back when I was using eyelash curlers of other brands, I had wondered what the fuss was about THIS specific curler. It certainly is much pricier. And I was thinking what could be the reason for that and what added oomph does this tool provide its users.

I found out that it curls the lashes really quite exquisitely and the lashes stay that way the whole day. No need to re-do during lunch or bathroom breaks.

My lashes don't fall or break. The shape of the pad gives any lash an optimum curl. And I believe it's suited for all eye shapes.

I think every girl should have this in her make-up bag. :)

Rainy Days

Lately, I've been feeling extra weary and lazy. I'm not sure if this is because of my current workload, or if this is because of the weather.

I'm theorizing that there's really something about all the rain and storm and the gloominess of it all that affects my mood.

I've been needing an 'uplift'....to see things in a better light, and in a much better perspective.

And lo and behold, the uplift came in the form of a garment (surprise, surprise...hahaha).

This coat is indeed a treasure.



The make is of a finer kind of tweed I think. And it provides just the right amount of warmth.

The color and design is neutral enough that it can be paired with abolutely anything... a pair of comfy jeans, black cigarette pants, a dress perhaps... the possiblities go on.



The style is vintage and classy.



And the price?

P10.

Now I can say there's something really really good about the rainy days. LOL. :)

Coat: Q.Ave Ukayan, P10
