In the Mood For Nude

Most of the time you will see me wearing nude --- lipsticks that is. =) I love nude or neutral lip colors. You see, I have fair skin and at most times my face looks naturally ghastly and pale white, so I have to be careful in choosing lipsticks. Not all reds and pinks work on me, especially the heavily pigmented ones. But most nudes suit me well. I have to be clear though that not all nudes look good on me. Some are chalky or too light or too orangey. These types make my skin appear washed out. I like my nude lippies to appear as natural as possible on my slightly pinkish pale lips so they MUST have a hint of color to give.

Sleek MakeUP Now In The Philippines!

Yes, you read that right. Sleek MakeUP is here. I saw it with my two eyes this afternoon at The Ramp Crossings department store in Quezon Avenue. Word is out that another stall will be opened at The Ramp Crossings Shangri-La Plaza. Hooray to this good news for us makeup junkies!

MONTH ENDER: HAULS OF THE WEEK

It's December and I can't believe it. Sure, Em and I already put up the Christmas tree, changed the curtains to gold and red, and saved up on some coins to be given away to kids singing Christmas carols, but it really hasn't dawned on me yet. It's 24 days more and it's Christmas day again. Now I'm starting to panic because I haven't prepared any new recipes yet and the Christmas lights have not been set up. Worse, I still haven't bought the "priority" gifts. Oh no!

Well, I promise to focus more on those things tomorrow. Anyway, the shopping part is easy, maybe I could start doing that tomorrow. Hahaha.

Now that November is over, and the Yuletide season is now official, let me just share how my week went. Last week was one of the best weeks of my life because even if I was tired going from one place to another, I was able to do a lot of shopping. I wish I could review all of my hauls in one sitting but since this PCOS is killing me, I'm really not feeling well. I promise to do a review one by one soon.

BAZAAR LOVE ♥

I know I've been putting off blogging lately. I have a lot to talk about but I just can't find the time. Anyway, I have been mostly outdoors doing what else - Christmas shopping! Christmas is around the corner, and I'm really excited that I have been making plans this early.

And since it's the season to be jolly, bazaars are just around every where. I get tons of invites from bazaaristas asking me to drop by their stalls or even put up a stall of my own. Well, dropping by is easy, but joining, I have a lot of thinking to do about that first.

I have visited a number of bazaars for the last couple of months but today I will talk about my three favorites, namely: The Trendsetter's Bazaar, The Supersale Bazaar, and The Rockwell Moonlit Bazaar.

The Trendsetter Bazaar took place on October 7-9 at the Rockwell Tent in Makati. I went there at around 8PM on the first day. I met some of my favorite online sellers there and some friends too. I almost didn't make it because I had a blotchy and red face that day (I just finished my powerpeel session and skin fusion at Flawless in the AM), but that didn't stop me. The tent were full of shoppers hustling and bustling about. But since the boyfriend was with me, we just spent less than an hour there because he wanted to go to Powerplant Mall and well, eat. However, I took home 4 blushes that day. And here they are.
