Nature Republic Petite Cherry Rouge M23

I have this penchant for pretty pink lipsticks nowadays that whenever I go to cosmetic shops, the first thing I visit is the counter for lipsticks and/or lip care. Since Nature Republic is already in town, I might as well visit the place, I said to myself! :D I bought a couple of things from them making me an official member/card holder yesterday #thingsthatmakemegiddy

So here is my current fave lipstick! ~ Petite Cherry Rouge in Light Pink. It's relatively small compared to the usual lipsticks I have but considering that it costs half the usual price of lipsticks around 500 bucks, this is already a good buy! It has not dried my lips, so it's a good thing!  It also has this mild, not really that distinguishable, cherry scent so it doesn't really irritate the senses. I've been using it for days already. :D

So there! I wonder if this is how I cope with stress lately. XD Instead of eating, I go buy some pretty things that make me happy and girly at the same time. Till next time! Xox~

P.S. Nature Republic is located at the 4th floor of SM the Block

One Long Break!

This past weeks turned out to be a really long study break for me made possible by the annual celebration of our department, Department of Biology, as well as the little gathering I've had with my long time friends and detox party with my schoolmates.

As you may see, I was very much out of sync with the blogopshere. Practice hours for Biogyugan (a competition among Biology students) and Biorhythm (Department Choir / My Org) were demanding! The theme for BIOgyugan 2011 was "The Forest: Our Last Stand Against Climate Change".

We won 1st runner-up! All thanks to Him! :D It was definitely a big deal for us batch because the past 2 years of our Biogyugan experience were better off forgotten. This year's performance was exceptional. It was a well-planned production by us, Juniors in my opinion. I played the role of an evil Jane (That girl in yellow top and violet skirt amidst the deers of Pocahontas, dwarves of Snow White, Lady Gaga and Ariel in labgown for the moment! :D ) who would eventually ruin the forest.  We even had Dora, Boots, Doraemon, PPG, etc. in our show. Oh just remembering that day makes me laugh! One memorable Biogyugan performance it is! ^^~

On another note, we had dinner at Karen's place before her departure off to Seoul a couple of days ago. I've been friends with these three since birth. Yep, 19 years and counting of friendship! Whenever I look at our pictures and how well we've grown since our meeting... it just makes me high in spirit! Awesome friends!  XD We're now in college but whenever we get-together, it just feels like going back to our childish self. :D

Lastly, detox party with the gang aka Monique's debut! I was out searching for night make-ups then stumbled upon a couple of videblogs made by a friend and co-blogger, Rhea. I tried one of her looks in Youtube, and I liked the result!

Outfit is from Forever 21. Heels from Gibi. I was part of the 18 songs, so I sang Count on Me by Whitney Houston.  :D

Last pic for my update today! I was with a bunch of Sophomores during that night with Miguel (Junior) and Vap (Senior too. To sum it all up, I felt detoxed after! Nothing beats partying with stressed students like us, as they say! :D LOL!

SkinFood's Tomato Jelly Lip Tint #1

So here's a review of SkinFood's Tomato Jelly Lip Tint. It comes in 3 shades and what I have is #1, which is the darkest shade of all. :D SkinFood's known for having natural ingredients in their cosmetic products and for this, just by its name, one can say that it has tomato as its main ingredient.

It has this fruity scent that makes you want to put more of it on your lips  and even if its the darkest shade, I do think it just leaves a rather natural tint on my lips. It's moisturizing and lasts long for at least 3 hours, but may vary for you. :D

I really love how it makes my lips look so healthy! :D I've been wearing this daily because of its moisturizing properties. The scent brings good vibes as well! :)) Totally a good buy! I bought this in Korea via friend because its original price is cheaper there than here in the Philippines (like a 100% increase in price). :)

No Worries Sunday

I present to you the almost 8-inch tall pile of reviewers/photocopied thingamajigs I used for the past semester. Those were my so-called essentials at that moment; and you know what, they're all going down the drain! >:D HAHA.  Kidding aside, my summer classes will start on April 14. Yes, unfortunately I only have at least a week to relax and not think of anything academic-related during this period. I'm hoping I'd surpass this coming summer classes with flying colors not like when we had Organic Chem and SocSci last time. I'll be studying Plant Taxonomy and CommIII (Public Speaking) and I'm hoping these subjects would not be too boring to be appreciated by me. :]

This seemed to be the first Sunday of the year that I did not worry about what's gonna happen the following day for school! My parents and I had lunch at Yellowcab then went to Church to participate in the Mass. We also had grocery shopping and I was really in the mood to take a lot of pictures of myself on our way home! HAHA Vanity strikes in an instant for us sometimes, right? LOL. Okay, so here are just a couple of pictures awhile ago. That pizza goodness and my picture on our way to Yellowcab. :)) I always put that no-make-up look on me all the time! It's actually the only make-up I am into lately. HAHA I reserve pigmented make-ups for parties. Until next time!
