Hello, beauty junkies!  Today, I'm giving you a glimpse of what I bought from The Face Shop a few weeks back.  I'll be doing a separate post for each to avoid making this one too lengthy.  If you like a product, hope you stay tuned for the review. *wink


Oooooh, that sweet pink paper bag!  So what's the story?  Well, I was looking for a new mascara and I decided to go for a Korean brand.  I realized that I haven't tried any product yet from The Face Shop too.  There were a couple of items with a very reasonable price so I ended up with 4 instead of only 1 makeup.  Actually, 8 because I also bought nail lacquers.  It's a great gift idea since you can get 1 free nail polish if you buy 3.  It became my gift for my friends and sister-in-law.  Other than that, I also got a free makeup bag.

So, what's new in my little makeup collection?


Let's start with Make Me Star waterproof gel liner.

355 php

Actually, I'm not happy with this.  I'm still not sure though if it's really short or if I could sharpen or twist to get more product out.  It's a rose gold eyeliner and I use it on my waterline.  It's kinda pricey for me.

445 php

This is one of their basic mascaras.  I'm not picky when it comes to this particular makeup so this is totally alright.  Besides, it works great!  

395 php

Now this is my favorite!  It's a very affordable brow tint.  I love how it grooms my eyebrows!  It's a great alternative to MAC's brow mascara if you're not yet ready to spend a thousand pesos for such makeup.

355 php

The last item, Black Label lipstick in Lovely Pink (#11).  It's the average shade of pink most of us would wear to complete a natural makeup look.  The finish is sheer and a little bit glossy.

That's it for now.  Are you trying out a new product from The Face Shop too?  Let me know in the comments below. :)

What do you think?

Face masks are definitely the best way to soothe your skin and experience instant pampering.  It's very foolproof, no special techniques required.  All you need is to find the perfect formula that your skin needs.

There are a lot of masks out there to choose from.  My favorite however, are masks that come with face sheets.  Whenever I put it on my face, I feel like I'm in a Korean drama series.  HAHA!

There are tons of brands to choose from and speaking of Korean, all Korean cosmetic shops surely have these.  I mentioned before that I got a free one from Etude House.  I already tried it once so I thought of doing a post about it here.


The best part about masks is that, they contain highly concentrated ingredients that cater to different skin type and skin problem.  In this case, our hero is pomegranate.


This formula promises to nourish, moisturize, act as anti-oxidant and retain moisture.  I checked other skin benefits of pomegranate extract and found out that it also has anti-aging properties.  


After trying this, I realized that I should stock up more because it really transforms dull skin to a more healthy looking skin.  If you want, you can also use it twice or thrice a week.


Creepy??  HAHA!  

The contents of one pack could last for 3 applications.  Initially, the sheet would be really soaked up.  I recommend washing it after use and put it back again to let it absorb the remaining formula.  If you think it's not hygienic enough, you can buy face sheets from drugstores.    

I can't say yet if it really did it's job but I think the texture of my skin became better the day after. Twenty to thirty minutes is all it takes.  You can even put it on while watching TV or before going to sleep.  

I promise.  It won't hurt keeping one pack or 2 and besides, it's not expensive.  If ever you feel your skin is getting dull, revive it by using face masks.  

Visit Etude's website or like them on Facebook to know more about their other products.

Merry Christmas!!!

Wishing you and your loved ones a wonderful time together this holiday season.  Are you excited to open your gifts?  Me?  I'm excited to give my gifts to my fambam and friends.  Remember, it's all about sharing and making others feel special and loved.  

Actually, I'm not asking for any presents.  I won't even pray for my personal intentions.  I just want to say a prayer of thanks to the birthday celebrant and make Him feel how grateful I am for the greatest gift I could ever receive.  The gift of life.  And of course, all the blessings He has given me - even those I didn't ask for.  HOHO!  Just  always ponder the real meaning of Christmas.  

Be merry and celebrate!  Talk to you on the 26th!  Muaaah!

Off to church for Christmas Eve mass.  Ooh!  Can't wait for our simple Noche Buena.

Did you enjoy this year's show?  I still prefer the concept and artists last year and Miranda was there too, but anyway, every show has a different flavor. :)


My favorite angel, Candice opened the show, looking like a total bombshell with the 2013 fantasy bra.


Behati is so perfect for the English guard costume.


I like the song and designs in "Shipwrecked".



Love the neutral colors!


My top 1 segment, Parisian Nights.  I love everything!


Hot red angel, Adriana!


I think Doutzen has the hardest rock solid abs!  HAHA!


The wings that made me say, WOW.


Last year, they were flowers.  Now, they are...



Look at those shoes.  #ISeeWhatYouDidThere 


Smile for the Pink Collection!



All new angels walked the runway in this segment.


And for the Taylor Swift fans, you'll totally love her performance (and shining shimmering splendid dress)!


This segment reminds me of the Disney movie, Frozen. :D


Ooh!  The shoes! 


Love the snowflakes!



Who's your favorite?

What's up, gorgeous?!  Are you enjoying the last few days of 2013?  I know some of you guys are having Christmas parties (almost weekly?), busy with their Christmas gift list or maybe on vacation mode already.  What an exciting month, right?!  Just make sure to be safe and drink moderately. :)

Today, I'm sharing few new stuff I bought and a gift I received from Kris.  Here they are!


Let's start with a freebie I got from Etude House.  Well, I totally forgot to show this when I posted about my Precious Minerals Cotton Fit BB Cream.  This famous Korean cosmetic store gives free face masks when you purchase at least 500 php.  Last time I got Pearl Extract and now, it's my chance to try Pomegranate.  For sure, it will feel sooo good on my face.  I'll use it later or tomorrow.


Next, my new toner from The Body Shop.

695 php

I've started using it and so far, my skin is happy.  It's from the Seaweed Line, a clarifying toner that targets impurities and enlarged pores.  If you want to check out my previous toner, click here.

From skin care, let's move on to makeup. 

750 php

As I have shared before, I wasn't so happy about my previous concealer from Revlon.  Then, I read about The Balm's Time Balm and I got the feeling that it's the ONE.  Loving it.  Super.


And here's a gift from Kris, a Mango tote/shopper bag. Thank you, Baby! :D


We bought this from an online store called, Bags R Us II.  I'm now using it as a laptop bag and of course, very useful too when stores/malls don't give out plastic bags.  It also comes with some kind of a coin purse.  Love it!

For clothes, I bought a new pullover.  This time, from Uniqlo.  Perfect for the breezy December nights.  *wink

990 php

Here's a funny story.  I thought it's on sale for 790 php, but when I was about to pay, the display showed 990.  Okay, as if I could take it back and say that I changed my mind.  HAHA!  Have you experienced that as well?  A bit embarrassing, right?.  I pretended that I knew.  :P


But then, I realized that it's still a good deal.  The quality is really nice and the color looks cute. 

To complete this post, here's the Quickie Update portion.  HAHA!  Please do answer these as well!

Currently Loving: I'm so attracted to oxblood red recently. I want a bag in that color, a dress, a lipstick and maybe a pair of shoes too.  Everything!! HIHI!

My LSS: I Hate Myself (ë‚´ê°€ 미워요) by my favorite K-Pop icon, Lee Hyori.  

Recently Watched: Frozen!!  My favorite Disney movie next to Tangled!  It's a must-watch!  It;s my first time to watch a movie in cinema twice!  First, I went with Jaela and earlier, with Kris.  I love the soundtracks!

ABSpiration Update: Since I'm back on 5PM to 8AM shift, it's difficult to catch up with December workout calendar.  So sad.  My body's craving for the burning sensation already!  

Craving For: Crepe!  Last month, we discovered Mother's Crepe and Cafe, a Japanese Crepe franchise.  Did I say crepe thrice?  HAHA!  Anyway, you must try their Japanese ice cream!  

So. that's it for now.  Next on Just In series, I'll show you my little haul from The Face Shop.  Yay!  Wait for it. :)

What do you think?
