Happy Ramblings

Whenever I pass by the mall's beauty section, I couldn't help but swatch lipsticks. While I was on my usual swatch fest, I noticed that Detail Make Over's Matte In Lipsticks were on sale. Buy 1 Take 1 for P225. Who was I to say no to that?  The packaging looks pretty slick.  I decided to get Fhaye and Rhea. The beauty assistant was wearing Fhaye and it looked good on her!  When I swatched it at the mall, I waited for it to set and then I tried smudging it. When it did not smudge, I decided to give it a go. The color payoff is impressive, it's on sale and it didn't smudge! So this is how Detail Matte In Fhaye looks like; one application. As you can see, color pay off is impressive. It's pretty pigmented. It isn't tacky and felt lightweight. I decided to put on another layer and it was not a good idea! It accentuated my dry chapped lips and it felt really heavy! Detail Make Over Matte In - Rhea So final thoug...

I love L'Oreal's Infallable Make Up Line, so even if I am no longer into glossy lippies, I decided to buy and try one the Pro Matte Glosses that the brand has. There was no change of heart, I am still and I think forever will be a matte lipstick kind of girl! L'Oreal Matte Gloss. More than my love for he Infallable line, what drew me to this product and what made me really curious is the name. I mean, how can a gloss lipstick be matte? My original plan was just to swatch it when I happen to drop by a beauty store, but when I did, the beauty consultant said it was on sale, P100.00 ($2.50) off so am I to say no, right? It retails for P400.00, got it for P300.00    Since most of the brands were on sale on that specific weekend, there were only three shades available. I tried to convince myself to try a darker shade, but I just fell inlove with this brownish-coralish one! My type of MLBB shade, actually.  Pro Matte Gloss in Bare Attraction Shade 318 - Ba...

I think I have mentioned a lot of times how I am a matte kind of girl. I have been seeing a lot of people posting and raving about the LA Matte Pigment for more or less a year now. I was really hesitant to try it because I had an impression that it would be like the NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams which I didn't really like. What made me decide to finally give it a try is when I saw one of my officemates wearing it. It looked really pigmented and I noticed how it has a long lasting effect! There is a stall near my work place which sells the brand so I bought one. I forgot how much exactly did I but it for, but I'm sure it's not more than 350php. I decided to get Fleur. I was initially thinking of getting Dreamy because I loved it so much when I swatched it but I got talked into getting Fleur because the staff told me that it looks better on me! Lol. It's really pigmented and I can vouch for its staying power! It doesn't have a weird smell, too so plus ...

I wanted to blog about something else but I decided to post this instead! It feels more appropriate to blog this now, because if not, I don't know I would still want to in the future.  Our company decided to throw a Kick Off Party . To be honest, I was really hesitant to go because 1) Theme is Coachella and now that I gained weight, I know the disappointment that I would be facing when trying on outfits, 2) I felt like it would be a boring one (no alcoholic drinks allowed! lol) and 3) I just didn't feel like going. Well, it was a good thing that I went because the set up was nice and I had a little fun with my work friends. And of course, I had fun prepping myself!  1) MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Medium  2)  Essence Eye Primer Dark  3) Estee Lauder Zero Smudge Lengthening Mascara   4)NYX Matte Finish Setting Spray 5)Smash Box Blush/Bronzer    6) Clinique Stay Matte Oil Free Foundation in Sand  7) MAC...

I took these photos of the lipsticks months ago, but apparently, I would always end up not posting it. Here I am again, drafting an entry but unlike last time, this is not going to be a failed attempt! So let's start! Lipsticks are my favorite make up! It's the easiest to apply, the most convenient to bring and that make up that can easily give you a transformation from daytime to night time look! My make up kit which I bring to work everyday has a lot of lipsticks in it. I do not even know why I carry a lot of lipstick with me always, but that's how girls are! We bring all the make ups that we can (or is it just me?)! These are four of the liptsicks that I tend to carry with me everyday. Well, I do not change lipstick every 3 hours, but I like bringing them because I love mixing them lippies! :D

Hi, hi! The reason why I haven't been posting (again!) is because I still cant manage my time. It's been more or less 6 months since I started working full time again, and to be honest, I am still not used to it. With the job, I'm all good, but with managing my time after work hours, that is where I am having problems with. Why did I start my blog blabbing about my lack of time management skills? Haha! This is so not what I wanted to blog. Soooo, just like what the title says, this blog is bout my make up when I go to work. Stop. Go and blog about make up! I'm not really experimental with make up. I mean, I already mentioned the lack of time management, and since I am no pro, it will take me so much time to try and experiment with new look for work. My work make up is usually just neutral eyeshadow, brow, liner, blush and lipstick! Sorry, blog friends, I was not able to clean the babies before I took the photo. I couldn't wait any longer because I ha...

Ever since I changed my preference from lipgloss to liptsick, I always get the matte ones. Covergirl's Heavenly Paradisque is the only non-matte lipstick that I truly love! I still have it and still use it when I'm in the mood for a pink glossy looking lipstick. But for the rest of my collection, it's all matte baby! Well, then there came this new baby love! MAC Rebel looks a wee bit too dark when you look at it, but hush hush and don't get too intimidated. It will look absolutely pretty when you wear it After years of sticking to MAC Mattes, I finally found a satin lipstick that I truly, truly adore! MAC Rebel is just so pretty on the lips. It is perfect when you're running out of time to get your make up done and you do not want to look so plain. I've been hearing (reading) about Rebel for the longest time and when I was finally able to get my hands on it, I immediately understood what the hype is all about. The purplish-pink color is perfe...

Woah! Time flies so fast! It will be June in few days and you know what that means? Almost half of the year had already passed! And aside from that, it also means that my birthday is coming! I'm not really into celebrating my birthday, so no plans. HAHA. I just mentioned it because what I'm gonna blog is birthday-related.. :P Wonder what it is? Well, I received early birthday pressies from my Aunt! Good thing I stopped myself from buying make up because she sent me some. ;) I haven't tried them all yet so I can't tell you much about 'em. If you happen to try any of them already, don't forget to let me know about it on the comments section.  Clinique Mega Melon Chubby Stick Out of all the stuff that I got, this moisturizing lip color balm caught my attention and made me so giddy. This is my second one, the first that I've tried was Woppin' Watermelon. I did not finish the whole balm because I gave it away. Well, this time, I am going to make s...

Hello, hello! The prodigal blogger is back! I really have no great excuse for disappearing, yet again, for the nth time! I was just not eager enough to find time and blog. One of the things that I did while I wasn't blogging was to eat everything I wanted. And that would explain the gain weight! Haha! I'm TRYING to lose weight but it's just soooo difficult to say no to yummy food!  It is the holiday season already and there would be a lot of events. Aside from the #1 'I have nothing to wear.' problem, one of the hashtag GIRLPROBLEMS is how to make sure your to keep the face look decent all throughout the event! For oily people who happen to live in Manila like me, that is a REAL challenge. I've been researching and looking for the best and cheapest option there is and luckily, I feel like I already found the solution! This is kind of like a SanSan HD Liquid foundation Review, but not really, 'coz I don't really know how to write reviews. Lol. ...

Well, honestly, I don't do this routine everyday! Haha! Let's just say that this is what I do whenever I go out and I have the time to put on make up. I don't know about you girls, but it takes forever for me to get ready. I am so glad that I had my hair treated because it surely saved me a lot of time. If I have to leave my house at 10 in the morning, I should wake up at 7 in the morning. Three hours to convince myself that I need to get up already, attend to morning washroom routine, eat breakfast, check my social networking sites, reply to inquiries at Bubblish Shop, take a bath, let my hair dry, put my make up on, dress up and finally double check my stuff that I should bring out. You might think that three hours is a long time, but there's a lot that I also need to attend to in between. And of course, I'm no expert in putting on make up. It takes me quite a while to finish my face.  Here are the stuff that I use for my (not so)  everyday look. ...
