Revlon Colorstay 16 Hour Eyeshadow in Adventurous

Hello!!!

Lately, I was like feeling tired of doing anything... I just wanna sit or lie down then relax and don't wanna think at all so I ended up not posting anything new to this blog... I wanna jump to summer season yay!!! I wanna explore other places and do something else... But summer isn't too soon yet so better to divert my attention in other matters like having a new post which might help those girls for their Valentines Date makeup... 

I will be sharing my review on Revlon Colorstay 16 Hour Eyeshadow in Adventurous... which was from my October BDJ box with unboxing here.

What I did with my EOTD: worn this during our Anniversary Date...

1. Highlighted my brow bone with shade #1
2. Shade #3 on my lid as base shade

3. Shade #2 on my crease

What I like about the product: 

Stays All-day, without creasing, fading or smudging
Great choice of shades to achieve a neutral eye for everyday makeup
Its fragrance free
Applies smoothly and very easy to blend texture
Very pigmented and has a silky and matte finish
Staying power is superb without primer and without touch ups
Lightweight packaging

What I don’t like about the product: 

Priced at P795.00 per 4.8g of eyeshadows           
Cheap compact case and applicator
Doesn’t have a mirror   

Will I repurchase? 

Definitely... I want to try Harmonious, Addictive and Moonlit quads!

Haul 0006...

Hi guys....Pit Senyor!!! Tomorrow is Sinulog Festival na, I'm super excited na..

I will be sharing to you my December Collective haul...

Marionnaud N°38-Eyes brush – this is my second purchase of this brush, I liked it so much because it’s dual ended --  it has a spoolie and on the other side is the angled eyeliner. It is very affordable at P59.75 and available at Watsons.

Silk Secrets Apricot Refreshing and Aloe Vera Moisturizing Facial Cleanser (10 sheets each) – this one is on buy one take one when I bought them, the price is P19.50 only from the original price of P39.00.  I like that these wipes gets rid of my makeup and very convenient to bring.

Unbranded Mini Skirts in Floral and Polka Dots design – bought this at one of the malls in Cebu City at P225.00 each. I initially saw the same design at South Shores boutique priced at P500.00++. Glad that I got them at a lower price!!!

Carmen Claire Brush Collection – I bought another set of brushes, bristles are super soft but it does fall out. Originally priced at P715.00 but I got them on sale at P517.99.

Beauty UK Eye Prime Fx – bought my very first eye shadow primer at P212.99 sale price but original price is at P250.00. It does enhanced and made my eye shadows last longer.

Carmen Claire Mint Gloss in Apple Mint – I’m not really a fan of gloss but just wanted to try wearing some for a change so I started with this tiny gloss. Original price is P175.00 but got this during their sale at P148.99. I kinda like this gloss because it has a mint scent and a minty feel on the lips when applied.. something new!!

Kashieca spaghetti strap top in red color – I like this top because the cloth is super soft and fits perfectly on me.. totally forgot the price, I misplaced the receipts hehe but it is just less than P200.00 since I got it on sale.

Herbench Body Spray in Remember by Lucy Torres-Gomez – priced at P174.00/54 ml bottle. Has a green and citrus top notes and is subdued with musk and amber tones at the base. I like the scent!!!

Folded & Hung Gray Skirt in Leopard print – Got this on sale at P300.00 from the original price of P949.00

Folded & Hung Heather Gray Terry Dress with Tribal design - Got this also on sale at P500.00 from the original price of P999.00.

And lastly, I purchased a 2015 weekly planner from National Bookstore at P119.00. I initially wanted to buy the daily planner but it was out of stock na. I like this type of planner because it is very handy to bring and light weight.

That's all guys, till my next post!!!

Christmas Gifts 2014

Happy New Year guys....

I have been out of blogging for the past holidays... I spent most of my time with my family (my husband and son)... We've been busy with our first Christmas celebration in our own house!!! We celebrated it very simply yet memorable :D

Today, I will be sharing to you the gifts we have prepared for our loved ones -- extended family, god children and friends.. We used to have "Manito Manita" on Christmas eve two years ago when we stayed pa with my husband's family but last Christmas we had something else -- we call it Christmas wish list -- I suggested that instead of having a hard time choosing a gift for each and everyone of us why not we write our own wish list (something we want to receive as Christmas gift) then will pick based on that wish list one by one... even if we know that will receive that item, we still are very excited... we were like children with happy and excited eyes upon opening the gifts...

So here's a run down of the gifts we have given based on their wish list:

Solemate flat shoes for my youngest brother's girlfriend (Shatchie) and a Human sling bag for my youngest brother (Rayan). They really liked the gifts based on their smiles that Christmas eve.

Secosana sling bag for my brother's girlfriend (Jill) and Sandugo slippers for my brother (Anthony) next to me -- as I am the eldest and only girl among my siblings.

Flip flops for my mother (in pink because it's her favorite color and black to pair with any outfit) and a small head light (with LED light and battery operated)  for my father.

Converse T-shirts for my father in law and brothers in law...

A mickey and minnie mouse sleep wear for my mother in law...

Gifts for my close friends in the office...

A deluxe pool table set for my godson (Lyle) and a lego airplane for my godson (John-John).

Cute dresses for our goddaughters: Lyca and Carra...

A cute sleeveless pair for our godson: Emmanuel and a polka dots dress for her sister Elijah...

I hope that they were happy with the gifts we have given... I know that these are only simple gifts but what matters is that it was given heartily... I praise God for giving us enough blessings so we can share as well to others especially those we love... 

I'm also excited to share what I got last Christmas...

A picture of me with the gifts hehe...

I'm starting with my most favorite gift which I received.. a Parisian bag from my brother -- Anthony and Jill... They really know how to please me hehe

Two pairs of solemate flat shoes -- in times when I'm tamad to wear high heels -- this will be my friendly buddy. Gifts from my mama and papa!!!

A leather belt from my brother -- Rayan and Shatchie.

Aside from the belt -- they also gave me a Hello Kitty lip gloss... my brother Rayan knows that I'm a fan of Hello Kitty stuff...

Another makeup addition to my growing collection.. an Atomy Lipstick from my bestfriend  --Cyka... Thank you Cy.. I love the color!!!

Aside from the Atomy Lipstick -- my bestfriend also gave me a makeup kit... a small yet spacious kit in pink color... Super love this kit, I am currently housing my growing collection here.

Here's a FOTD picture of mine last December 21, 2014 when we had our company Christmas party celebration. I opted for a simple makeup but I use false lashes here, my first time to use one hehe... I kinda enjoyed wearing them... Will try another set of lashes again very soon!!!

I'm ending my post with another FOTD last January 2, 2015. I cut my hair to a shorter layered haircut... Do you like my new hairstyle??? Me... I liked it haha I look younger here!!!

Thank you to all our loved ones who have given us gifts as well... We are very happy to receive them all....Till our next Christmas...

Till my next post!!!
