New summer dresses

Been shopping again (surprise surprise!) and found these couple of dresses. I couldn't help myself but try them on with my new pairs of stilletos and flat sandals. I hate my legs but I didn't wear any stockings this time to keep my boyfriend quiet (He hates it when I wear stockings). Sorry, I tend to post many photos ha ha ha!











Such a drama queen ha ha ha!

Another go at bubblegum EMU

I really wanted to crack this look that I gave it another go. I suppose, it has improved from the first time I did it but still not quite right. Sorry Liz, I wish I could make you proud :)... I'll keep practicing, promise :)














Yay! Can you see the lines under my eyes?






Bubblegum: a Li(z)terati inspired EMU

When I saw the bubblegum EMU on Liz's website I really liked it and wanted to have a go at it. This was I came up with but be warned... What it was... it definitely wasn't bubblegum... Sorry Liz! I guess I need help... big time!















Very very wrong one indeed!

Still trying to conquer my blues

My Vivienne Westwood Bag (Yipee!)

Hello again everyone!

Sorry if I have not posted any new blogs in the past few days. I have been quite busy and I have got so much to tell you... To start with... I am here showing my newly purchased item. I have been wanting to get hold of Vivienne Westwood handbag but because of the pretty steep price, I have been thinking quite carefully whether it's worth having it or not until last Saturday when I eventually visited her newly opened outlet in the city. I've fallen in love with this bag the first time I saw this last Saturday but my boyfriend stopped me from buying it right there and then. He told me that if I wait until I've got a job, he was going to pay half of it otherwise, I'll have to pay for it on my own.


Saturday night came and I couldn't stop thinking about it and kept thinking that it's bound to go at some point and it was something I couldn't afford to happen (Yes, I have fallen big time for this gorgeous bag). So Sunday came and I've managed to convince my boyfriend to give the bag another look without telling him that I was getting it no matter what. So we got there and after a few minutes... I was paying for it. Alright, it wasn't a cheap purchase but with how gorgeous it is, it was hard to let go. It cost me £250 (around $492.00 USD/20,735.00 PHP) but worth every penny of it. I could perhaps pass it to one of my nieces or my daughter-in-law in the future ha ha ha! I absolutely love it!
Viola! My gorgeous new bag!

Isn't she lovely? (Yes, it's a she!)


Come to mama!

Just a little shopping venture :)

I didn't plan to shop today but I had get my son a new pair of shoes for his cubs camping. However, as we were passing Boots, I've noticed that they were having many new offers such as if you spend over £15, you'll get 10 points for every £1. I really am a sucker when it comes to collecting points on my advantage card (last year, I got 2 bottles of perfume, an Armani Diamond and Burberry London from my advantage points [£160 worth altogether]) so I went it so see what I can get to take advantage of the offer. My first stop was Clinique and they were doing extra 500 points (£5 worth point) for every purchase of 2 or items so I bought 2 eyeliners in black diamond. I've spent £20 on my Clinique eyeliners but gained £7 on my advantage card. Cool eh! Then I've realized that I had a £5 worth of voucher on a few skin care product including Olay regenerist so I bought a couple (they're normally £7.50 but because of my vouchers, they've only cost me £2.50 each... Really great deal! See? I'm learning! Do they do things like that in the PI?






These were my recent purchases... more make up, I know and you might be wondering what's the crystal jar is fo... you'll see very shortly!


I've been reading great feedback on GOSH cosmetic. Apparently, they're like identical to MAC but 50% cheaper. Since I have sensitive skin, I've never thought of trying this product until now. When I went to to counter, everything looked very much of MAC make-up except for the name of course. The texture of the brushes are similar to MAC as well. I'll find out if they do the same job when I try them eventually. I've just washed them are left to dry at the moment.

My Clinique favourite!

Now, I've been thinking of ways to store my brushes when I'm not using them as they tend to collect dust when left sitting on my dressing table. I saw this one in House of Fraser and I thought.. that'll do the job. I don't know what's this jar suppose to be but it's going to be my brush container ha ha ha!

I had to re-arrange my dressing table because my make up train case needed a space. Again, I didn't know what to do and came up with this. Not sure about it at the moment... but that'll do for now :)


Yep! Even my dressing table is such a diva with photos ha ha ha!


I like to keep it clean and tidy. I dust every single thing on my dressing table twice a week. Yes, even lipsticks... I dust them one by one. I sit there for like an hour to clean this area ha ha ha!


This is how my dressing table look like when I'm doing my make up ha ha ha!



My precious brushes (old ones) drying up after being washed. I wash my brushes every 3 days... what about you? Sometimes every two days but my concealer and foundation brushes, I wash them every efter use that's why I've got few of them.
TTFN!
