Sneaky Sneaky

I would love to have this in my room being the sneaky person that I am (hihihi =P)

A perfect place to store my journals, my artsy stuff, old photo albums, scrapbooks and letters.


No more tangled cords, no phone slip ups and no charger stealers (haha)  

Shy (our dog) could have a spot in our room yey!


Mirror, mirror on the wall plus a hidden treasure chest of neatly hanged accessories =) 


Isn't this neat? Your room would not look overstuffed because everything is hidden.

Beautifool


We all want to look and feel good. This is why we buy products and cosmetics that would make our skin look better, our hair softer and generally improve our over-all condition and appearance. But does it really help us? I got this from a kikay friend to remind me that not all products are safe and we should keep an eye on certain chemicals found in our beauty products which may cause harm.
  
 
So have you checked what’s your favorite shampoo made of? How about your gorgeous red lipstick? Better raid your dresser and check your make up collection and all your other beauty weapons as well. We may not feel the bad effects now but after prolonged use, the harmful effects could be slowly crawling in. Better be safe than sorry kikay friends. Use this chart as a guide to know the chemicals to avoid and its safer alternatives =)

Take a picture!


 
I used to take pictures of myself whenever I travel alone and during my vain moments (good hair day or good makeup day haha!). The end result: no beautiful scenery and just my enlarged forehead and high cheekbones occupying the entire photo. I know I'm not really photogenic to expect good results but sometimes it's frustrating not to have that picture that you would approve uploading as your profile pic. This video would surely give you tips on how to get that perfect shot when all you have is yourself as your camera man.

Not an ideal gift for your boss or your teacher haha =P

Go Nude This Summer

Summer is not just for fun and vibrant colors but for fresh and cool hues such as Nude. I like nude because it's adaptable to any style and you can it match with any color. Its not too plain, nor too loud. It's girly, and the color reflects comfort and chicness. It's quite unique because it's hard to define what shade it is as it can have touches of pink or brown. Nude is also close to our skin color making it look more natural and clean.nude summer

Cuts & Colours Salon



 I needed to attend a semi-formal event (my Lola’s 90th bday) and we’ll be having our official family picture taken that’s why I needed to look good. At first, I decided I would do my own makeup but I really don’t know the basics and I’m afraid I would look like a ghost in our family portrait =P. So my mom and I decided to have our hair and make-up done at a nearby salon. My mom tried to contact A Salon which she has tried before but they are now under the name Cuts & Colours.


Their place was very simple, spacious and clean. Also they have the most recent magazines which you can browse while waiting. 

The mua's kit included products from Bobbi Brown, Shu Uemura, Lancome and mostly from Mac.


They offer the latest Kerastase products as well.


This is me while having my hair done with no make up yet. So pale and eye bags galore =P 


That's Ms. Beth (the makeup artist), working on the base. 


After a few hours, tada!! My curled up hair and simple neutral makeup courtesy of Ms. Beth =) I really liked   it because it wasn't too heavy. She knew that she didn't need to dwell on my eyebrows because it was already thick haha. She didn't put too much eyeliner that would make me look old. I loved the shade of her Lancome lipstick and her Naturactor foundation which covered my small blemishes. Their hair and makeup services costs P1,200 and their place is just walking distance from Greenhills mall.

Cuts and Colours is located at Ground Floor LPL Building Annapolis St. Greenhills San Juan City.

Beaten Bieber



Sorry for the false alarm Beliebers, but this is just a magazine cover for Complex Magazine. JB just turned 18 and I guess he is also changing his teeny bopper image to a more mature one. Why the bloody cover? From the  statement "Growing Pains" I guess he already knows how hard it is being in the entertainment industry with such a young age. Anyway, he's just halfway there, there's more to come, so better be ready Biebs =P
