Dear Readers,

Dear Readers,

I love you all so much ;] I know some of you may have questions, so I'll try my best to answer any questions regarding anything on my blogs. But pleeeeease, help me out by leaving me a way to reply back to you & also try to be more specific on what your question is about so I could reply with as much info as I can ;] I just recently recieved a question on an older post & it took me forever & a half to locate it because I didn't know what they were referring to & blogspot doesn't make it any easier for us to locate new comments unless I missed the new comment button somewhere???


Q: What's the model of the train case in this blog?

A: Dear Gmmnie, unfortunately I don't remember what model it is. I also tried checking Folica to see if they still have it so I could give you the right model, but I didn't see the exact same one. But if it helps here's the dimension of the train case: 14 1/4"L x 8 1/2"W x 10"H
It's a really great train case because you could actually move the dividers for the little slots so you could have the right fit. I hope this helps you a little ;[

MAC FRiENDS & FAMiLY HAUL

I know it's been about 2 weeks since this SUMO 25% off Friends & Family Sale, but I'll do a haul blog anyways ;] The bf went to go camping with his cousins, so lately I pretty much have nothing else to keep me busy. I've been off since Monday, the day the bf left me to go camping ;[ haha...So I'm just finding ways to keep me busy since I'm heading back to work tomorrow & I'm expecting the bf to return home tonight ;] I miss him so much. Anywhoo, I decided it be great to use my free time to update my blogspot since I have nothing better to do & I miss y'all so much!



The haul...lols, I think I received it the night my bf & I had gotten into some argument & I totally forgot what it was about. Haha it's funny, I remember being bitter that night & my lil bro came to knock on my door & said, "Your makeup is here." I thought he was just joking around because I ordered it before midnight on Monday so technically it was already Tuesday in the mainland. And I had free standard shipping which meant 3-5 business days right? I received my package on June 18th, which meant it only took 2 days for them to ship it, which pretty much amazed me since I wasn't expecting it to come til the following week. That's why I thougth my lil bro was lying to me, but then again, he didn't know I even oredered anything since I haven't bought any cosmetic products in forever! It's weird that the package said 2nd day air & I didn't pay extra for shipping, oh wells I LOVE MAC!

I was gonna go krazie on brushes, but I decided to just get the things that I know I'll use since I have so many brushes that I don't even use. So I just got my eyeshadow refill pans, I think I got a little too excited that they have those on the website now that I forgot to get the one eyeshadow that I really needed since I hit bottom for "All that glitters." I also wanted to try out the Studio Sculpt Foundation & got me a different shade for the Mineralize Skinfinish/Natural since I get really dark during the summer. Hmm..I really don't like the Studio Sculpt, I don't know...the consistency of it is just too pasty for me. And last but not least, I got me some more paint pots.

Cherry & I spentd the whole day baking cupcakes on Thursday, we also made red velvet cupcakes too. We found so many cool ideas online & really cute ones.

MY TOP 10 FAVORiTE PRODUCTS FOR THE SUMMER

1. BIOSILK SILK THERAPY SERUM

I've always loved using this serum when my hair is feeling a little dry & especially now that I had bleached it and I know I'll be out in the sun a lot now that summer is almost here ;] I usually apply this before straightening my hair.


2. Wet'n'Wild Bronzer in Bali Bronze

I've tried all sorts of bronzers & this by far is the best bronzer I've ever used. I'm disappointed with those high end brands, tsk tsk tsk. It gives me that nice tan glow & it goes on smooth & even, not to mention it's also inexpensive. You should check it out, lols it's really cheap, so you have nothing to lose but a couple of bucks.


3. L'oreal Paris Extra-Volume Collagen Mascara


My eyes are very sensitive to the certaub ingredients in mascara, especially the ones from MAC, so I've been looking for an alternative & I think I found it. After a long day at work, this mascara stays put unlike other brand & it does not smudge onto my lower or upper lids. To tell you the truth, it doesn't even wanna come off with my makeup remover face wash lols. I think it'll be perfect a mascara for those hot sunny days this summer.


4. Urban Decay Get Baked Eyeshadow Palette


Nice neutral colors for an everyday look. My eye look:




I'll have more to come, so check back later.

12 HOURS & SOME MiNUTES TiL MY BiRTHDAY

I know, I've been MIA...but just here to tell you all that I'm still alive & tomorrow is actually my 22nd birthday! lols, i feel old ;[ someone told me it goes downhill from there. They're wrong though, it's been downhill since 18 lols, I just make the best of it.

MY FAVORiTE TiME OF THE YEAR...

To go on shopping sprees that is ;X I can't believe myself. I think I've been shopping more for me than others lol. I only got like 4 people down on my list & still need to shop for a whole lot more people. On Monday night, James & I were at Macys, come to find out they were having 25% off the holiday collection at MAC. It was so tempting...but I can never get anything from there when I'm with him lol. We decided that we were gonna go back for it after I did my shopping for gifts, along with another perfume that I wanted. But who would've though MAC would have such a sale??? Didn't buy much though, just a little something for my sis & bro...& 2 dresses for me ;].

Tuesday, went to get Carol & took our 22 minute final exam & decided to head to the mall afterwards. So what did I get you ask? Well...we made this thing we're gonna give our lovers for christmas & the lady helping us out was pretty cool. She let us do whatever we wanted to...haha it's pretty cool. I got me a new handbag from forever21, & a whole bunch of scarves. And since my favorite wedges got messed up, I decided to go buy me these two bad boys ;] I think they're gonna be my favorites <3 I didn't know which oneto get, so I got two.


And our last stop...MAC! I couldn't turn down their 25% off sale. It's not every day they have a sale like that lols. So I decided to get me the Neutral & Red lips set since I already have the Rose lips. Yes I know, that broke my 2 month streak of no makeup purchase ;[ I couldn't help myself & I have extra discount so too bad. But honestly, I could've done worse damage, I was about to buy the eyeshadow palettes too, but I stopped myself. I really don't need any more eyeshadows.


Then came home & guess what the mailwoman had??? A huge box full of bras just for me & I love love loves them ;] I really don't mind spending a lot on bras because honestly the ones that I get are hella comfortable & last pretty long. It's really important for me to have high quality bras because I am over-blessed with curves & I can't stand those really cheap bras where they don't have much support & the wires starts to hurt after awhile cuz they start to protrude out of the material or in my case they break in half & I hate that. And I prefer only plunge bras & it's hard to find really cute ones, well for me.

Anywhoo, my friend Joy gave me 2 free premium seats to Ulalena, a theatre show which is suppose to be really really really awesome or in her words, "it made my manly guy friend want to see it again!" lols. So I made reservations for tonight & I can't wait to see it. Hopefully James don't make me drive since it's all the way on the other side of the island & he wanted me to dress up in my dress & heels so I dunno...cross my fingers.

iT'S LOOKiN' A LOT LiKE CHRiSTMAS

WOW! I haven't updated since the holiday collections came out. Sorry ladies, I've been busy with school among other things. I'll explain more on another post maybe. Christmas this year in our house is getting a late start. We usually have everything up right after Thanksgiving, but I've been procrastinating. I'm usually in charge with the tree decorating since I'm really anal about it lol. I know for sure that if my mom does it, it's gonna look hella filipino. You should see the banana tree she docorated lols. Anyways I'm late on my christmas shopping too, I haven't had time for shopping lately, but hopefully once school is over with I'll have lots of time to do that. Anywhoo this is our tree this year is gold & white. It's halfway done lol, we still got 2 more boxes of ornaments to put on it:


Inspired by:Just love the pretty packaging, the white with gold letterings on it.
