I love eyeshadow palettes. I think you get so much more than just the 4 shades. You can create countless looks and they all complement each other well. I received this Pedro Lourenço eyeshadow quad from MAC a couple of months ago and I have been using it on quite a number of brides. Of course, I had to use it on myself first before I was feeling generous enough to share it with my brides, and all of these eyeshadow shades can be blended with my existing eyeshadows to make a new shade.

A Bridal Shower is surely the best and most fun ending to any tiresome and meticulous wedding preparation. It is where the bride-to-be’s family and friends prepare, encourage, and advise her before she embarks on a new chapter of life called marriage, and a means for her to de-stress before the big day. As with all special occasions, a Bridal Shower deserves special gifts.

I have had these photos for about 3 months now but I only got to post this today. Don't you just have one of those days when you're feeling just the teensiest bit conservative? I used to love this dress because it was the dress that I would put on when I was in a hurry to just run errands or have lunch with friends. But now looking back, I find it a little bit conservative. I mean, the length at least.

One of the best things about having a reputable and one of the top salons take care of your hair is that you will never ever have to worry about looking boring ever again without having to suffer the coveted hair-envy from celebs or it girls.

It has been 3 months since my first visit to Hairshaft Salon, and now it's time for a retouch for my best friend's wedding.
When I walked through Fred's salon at the Fort, I do not stifle his creativity because he knows my hair and my style. All I said that I needed a touch up because my re-growth was showing already. When we were discussing treatments, he asked me what I did to maintain my hair because it was soft and looked healthy (I know, I couldn't believe it myself).

I never thought I would develop a liking to spicy or some kind of an ethnic fragrance, but recently I just did when Bvlgari sent me their new fragrance. A combination of exotic and oriental perfume, the composition of wood and orange sounds intriguing and actually quite interesting. It's elegant but an expensive smelling fragrance which gives you an exotic feeling for those ordinary days. It's great for either the day time, or evening if you want to be different!

When I did my review for Lancôme's BB Cream, I mentioned Bobbi Brown's BB Cream's coverage for comparison with Lancôme. I wanted to link my mention to my review to Bobbi Brown but I realized I haven't made a review on this yet! It won my beauty awards last year but I didn't realize that I haven't made a review on it yet. So ladies, here it is!

I can never own too many lipsticks. So when I received this lippie from Estée Lauder from the Pure Color Crystal Baby Collection (and not to mention that adorable name "Crystal Blush"!), I instantly fell in love with it! I remember thinking, ooh this is gonna be good. I had to wait until I took photos of it before I was able to use it though, but it was worth the wait!

I was getting tired of pink lippies with a purplish under tone and was looking to replace it for a while, and what do you know -if you want something bad enough and your heart is pure, wondrous things can happen! Thank you for sending this Estée Lauder! Hee hee hee!

I don't know why Kanebo has a stereotypical reputation that the brand is nothing more than another department store brand when it fact I have been using Kanebo as far as I have been doing makeup professionally which is 10 years. I love their loose powders and their skin care so when people look at me like I have three heads when I tell them that I use Kanebo, I tell them Kanebo is in fact a Japanese brand and is Japanese made. They prices are not drugstore-brand-cheap either, so what does that tell you?

So when Kanebo invited me to their KATE Tokyo launch, there was only one answer: YES! I have always believed in this brand, and I will continue to support them the best way I can. Congratulations Kanebo Philippines for a great launch!

One of the best things about fragrances is that its ability to translate your different moods. I do not have a particular fragrance, I use each one according to my mood. My husband and I found ourselves using these new fragrances from Banana Republic a lot and they just smell so good together. a His and Hers fragrance that complement each other.


Banana Republic ushers in the season with new fragrances – Wildbloom Rouge for women and Wildblue Noir for men. Perfumers Marypierre Julien and Jean-Claude Deville created scents that are classic with a modern twist.

I have had this Vitamin C Ester cream from Perricone for a while now, but it's only now that I had the chance to finally add a new step in my skin care regimen having finished a different one. First of all, I love Perricone, aside from the brand using all-natural and powerful ingredients, I love their no-frills packaging lookin' all official and chic. Shallow Sabs strikes again. Ha!

This product promises to lighten my dark spots and freckles in just 7 days. And with me using for about 3 weeks now, I can definitely say that hardly of my freckles are noticeable now. I love how refreshing it smells too!

Ever since the blogger's event that I attended for Burt's Bee's, I can't get enough of their products. I have been a fan of their Tomato toner for as long as I can remember, so it wasn't hard for me to get acquainted with their other products.

Now, Burt's Bee's brings us their new lippie product: Lip Shimmers!

Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer, PhP 395.00/each

I really enjoyed using these lip shimmers because it is not all the time that I am in the mood for pure lipsticks. There are days when I want something light to use on the lips but still have some color. Thank goodness for Burt's Bees latest lip shimmers!
