I’m sorry for the hiatus—I’ve been to Ilocos Norte for a work-related trip, and I will tell you about it as soon as I load the bazillion photos I took with my phone. Anyway. Last month, I availed of the Majolica Majorca price slash for the Lash King mascara. I have heard good things about … Continue reading
Oh wow, it’s not very often that I get reader requests, so when I do, I try to get to it right away! Somebody asked what my makeup must-haves are, and that got me thinking. While I do have a LOT of favorites, certainly, they’re not all necessary. How many lipsticks do you really need … Continue reading
Last week, a close friend celebrated her birthday. Given that our different schedules make it almost impossible for us to meet, I made it a point to be there. Because really, if we cant make it to friend’s birthdays, then when else? Anyway.We had dinner at a modern Japanese Sake Lounge, Izumi. The food was … Continue reading
I came across this very cute (and mighty informative!) blog, the Beauty Department run by Lauren Conrad (yes, the celeb), Kristin Ess and Amy Nadine. I love the format—how they incorporate information, image and graphics together so that it’s very. easy. to get. I think they call them photo tutorials.

Hello, I’m back! And just to manage expectations, I had not taken a single photo. Na-da. Singapore was a hectic blur of site visits, dinners, art viewing, some shopping and copious amounts of coffee and alcohol in between.

Anyway, the original intention, if you might ask, is to use products for … Continue reading
Hello, I hope this doesn’t gross you out—but we’ve kept this box of chocolates in the fridge for months now. But we don’t mind. I don’t know about you, but I’m cray-zey over Japanese chocolate (Lotte, Meiji, Milky, you name it!), and this, for me, is a five-star as far as chocolates go. Royce Nama … Continue reading
Happy Easter!! I hope you all had a peaceful Holy Week. Today I thought of doing a classic look using my yet-to-be-reviewed Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet (which should be up right after!) So anyway, while I was taking photos I figured I can do a subtle variation on the look: the basic and the enhanced … Continue reading
Last week, I met up with a dear and utterly missed friend and former workmate—we will be attending the UAP NatCon (United Architects of the Philippines, National Convention—totally non-beauty) and had to register ahead. It was a happy meeting but sad ‘coz we had to meet under such boring professional circumstances! Anyway, we will be … Continue reading
