What’s In My Makeup Bag | October 2016

Time for an updated makeup bag post! I only started to downsize my makeup bag recently because a) I started losing stuff (fare thee well my Too Faced La Creme, MAC Del Rio, and Kat Von D lippies), b) I want to learn to only bring the things I really use outside the house c) I don’t even wear THAT much makeup except for the essentials. I feel pretty proud this year because I’ve been amassing less makeup and focusing more on quality than quantity. My “Project Pan” is working pretty well too! Without further ado, here are the “essentials” I carry with me most of the time. Some of them look so messy because they’re so overused. At least my bag doesn’t have to be so heavy anymore!

Random Questions Vol. 2

In the spirit of keeping this blog alive with content and a lot of blog series, I took a page out of Lauren Conrad’s lifestyle blog and answered the questions in that Tuesday Ten entry! How many kids do you want to have? Preferably I want to have more than 1 but not more than 4. I hope to be able to keep a balance in my family life in the future. What is your go-to cocktail? This is a choice between (in order) a mojito, an Amaretto sour or a margarita. Bonus points if they’re bottomless! What’s the first thing you do when you wake up in the morning? Guess the time, then check my phone if I’m right. Usually I’m about 90% right and I almost always wake up before my alarm. How many photos do you have on your phone’s camera roll right now? Let me check.. 3,863 Photos, 315 Videos. What is your favorite thing about being married single? What is the hardest part? I get to make my own decisions, …

Random Questions Vol. 1

I slept all day today (Wednesday, technically) because yay for holidays and I badly needed it. I was in Boracay with some friends for an extended weekend and somehow I haven’t recovered from it. It’s midnight now and tonight’s pre-bedtime reads included Racked. Came across this article where they asked Rashida Jones questions and I decided to do my own, following the same-ish format. Favorite store in Cebu: A bit challenging because the stores I like in Cebu are all chains–I’ve yet to find something I like that’s completely local. I’ll say Rustans because I’m basic like that. What’s on heavy rotation in your closet: These black dresses that I own, I have about 4 or 5 that I can wear just about anywhere or to any occasion. Mango and Pull & Bear makes really versatile ones. Favorite drugstore beauty buy: Maybelline Fit Me Concealer and Maybelline Define-A-Brow pencil. Both not available in the Philippines, sadly. Favorite investment beauty product: My NARS Audacious Lipstick and LORAC Pro 2 palette. I would say my Hourglass Ambient …

Review: My Shopping Box

I don’t usually do reviews, but my first experience with My Shopping Box was so positive it made me do an entry. I’ve been eyeing the Glossier Phase 2 set for a while now but I was on the fence of getting the whole set because I already have the Boy Brow, a product that I absolutely love. When I checked it again a few months after release, the Generation G lipsticks were suddenly sold out so I held off on buying it, then realized that it might take months for it to get restocked again. I remember Boy Brow sold out soon after I purchased it, and Glossier didn’t restock it after 6 or 7 months, only during the release of Phase 2. The Stretch Concealer was really the priority of my list anyway, so I decided to just get it in case it gets sold out too, plus a couple of other things. Anyway, I decided to make use of the My Shopping Box membership that I got via GCash Amex and ordered …
