Of Glitters and Red Lippies

You know what's cool? It's when a person you don't expect to know anything from you can actually give something you really like. XD I finally got the third gift aka "Something Arousing" (but not sexually LOL!) from my Monito just this morning.

I should've had received this last year but I wasn't able to attend the block's Christmas party... At first, I thought it was a can of coffee since almost everyone from my block knows that I love drinking coffee~ FYI: I've been drinking one since '97~ YEP, TRUE THAT!

But upon opening the gift...

FACESHOP GOODIES~ ♥

Red Fruit Jelly Tube RD302 and Nail Polish in BL607

The thought that it was coffee at first already made me happy, yet the fact that it was something Kikay-ish which I can totally use everyday made me happier~ XD

Receiving , a salmon pink rose, multi-colored angel figurine, and additions to my make-up collection... ALL I CAN SAY IS THANK YOU, MY MONITO! :D

Leopard Christmas of a Biologist

Here I share to you my Christmas outfit for 2011! :D It has been a tradition to myself to choose a one-of-a-kind outfit every time we celebrate Christmas. Well, that "tradition" actually started only a few years ago after realizing that somehow the clothes we wear tell something about who we are. :D So for this year, I chose to "express" my Biologist vibes! :D

I opted for a dress with a leopard print! What made me choose this is the blue-to-green base color of it. It is unusual to get a leopard dress that has this color 'coz most of the time we only see the brown kind or the white one with blue leopard print. :D I definitely LOVED this outfit because it has green tones, and more often than not, I associate green color for Biology, particularly Botany, due to it being the study of plants. :D

For my make-up, I'd like to emphasize on the eyeliner and lip color! I totally like the cat's eye effect LOL, so yea.. I used Nature Republic Simple Gel Eyeliner in Dark Brown. It's actually my first ever gel eyeliner so I have good feedback on it! :D And then for my lips, it's Nature Republic's Petite Cherry Rouge M23 that I blogged about before. :D

I also wore a Christian Siriano sandals to match the grey tones of the dress. NOW, you may realize the reason as well behind me choosing a turquoise shade of nail polish! ^-^

For my accessories, I had a red bow earrings from Y.R.Y.S. (a gift from my thesis partner, Bea), A Lady Bug (Family Coleoptera) ring from Jellybeans which I bought months ago, and a rhinestone-filled watch from Fossil (a gift from my sister abroad). :D  I didn't wear my watch and ring anymore during the Christmas Day itself (hence I don't have it in the other pictures!^-^) coz we were only at home la~~

I decided to make a LookBook account because I was really influenced by you, dear bloggers! :)) This will be my first entry and "look" and I hope we can support each other through this. LMAO. So yea, HYPE ANYONE? :> ^-^ I love looking at all your style and it made me wanna hype them and fan you all! So there, I decided to make one. lols. :D

So to end this entry, here are few more pictures! :D

MERRY CHRISTMAS

P.S. I want to thank my cousin Emem for being my photographer! ♥ Lovelove!

Tony Moly Lovely Stick in Blossom Pink

I bought this lovely lipstick in Tony Moly 2 months ago and I just want to share how great a purchase this is! It's code in Tony Moly Berry Berry Lipstick is PKLS05. :D  If you like shimmery lipsticks, this one's a must in your collection! The packaging, as you can see, is so pretty and I  bet no one can resist buying something this kawaii, ne? :D

What I like about this lipstick is the fact that it never dries my lips out! It actually can do wonders when it comes to moisturizing my lips! :D Some may not like too shimmery lipsticks, but in my case, I really do like it. Another thing is whenever I wear such shade, I can't help but feel so "young" HAHA Seriously!

Even a mere lipstick can add up to your whole get-up, right? :D Right now I'm resisting on putting too much make-up that would cover up my pores lately coz I get to have blemishes due to stress, lack of sleep, air pollution, etc. What I put on my face these days are the medications recommended by my dermatologist and something that would add color to my lips! ^_^

Here are a couple of pictures to end this entry!

Can I call this "Kiss from Dara"? LOL!

Questions:
1. Do you have interests in shimmery hot pink lipsticks?
2. What's your favorite make-up in your kit that add accent to your get-up (e.g., putting eyeliner, mascara, lipstick, or some blush?) :)

Jabbed Lips

Yes, people, I jabbed my lips on Thursday night while riding the jeepney. I didn't know how and why it happened. LOL! All I know is I was fixing my hair then this road humps got in the way~ T_T So now I have this scar on the right side of my lips.

Being conscious of how I look in front of others as I have been since I had my debut as a lady last year(18 years old in the Philippines), I bought a lip tint the next day! I can't stand to see my lips' uneven color, so I chose a liquid tint. Fortunately, while strolling around SM North Edsa's Department Store - Cosmetics Section, I found Tony Moly in there! And wallah!

I bought Tony Moly Lip tint in Red Apple. It's 2-in-1 such that you can use it both for your lips and cheeks! XD Of course I was ecstatic to use it just to save my uneven lip color.

At least it's even now! :D On another note, life's busy as usual, so I seldom blog and bloghop. I think my Junior year will be toxic yet fun. How's that suppose to happen? we'll see! It's just my hypothesis. LOL! XD

Questions:

• Have you ever jabbed your lips like this?


• How was your first weeks of classes?

Oh~ m'Eye Lash Curling and Clean

A quick review of my current favorite product from Etude House! It's the Oh~ m'Eye Lash Curling & Clean Mascara. When I was years younger,  I really didn't put much attention on using mascaras whenever I go to occasions. I used to have them on only when applied by the make-up artists; so,the usual foundation, make-up bases, blush-ons, lipsticks, glosses, and eyeshadows & liners were my only interests way back then!  :D  So, this would actually mean my very first, intentionally bought, eye mascara. Yehey! :))

This is the mascara applicator. As most of you may know, Etude House offers a couple of types of Oh~ m'Eye Lash Mascaras, but this one has gotten my attention most than the rest because of this really lovable wand! I thought I needed something that would give full coverage of my eyelashes. It has this regular thickness basally and a little bend over there at the end. What I like about this brush is the fact that it holds on to my eyelashes the way I wanted. The bent end makes it easy for me to make the tip of my eyelashes be emphasized more by going over them for a couple of times, like three times or so. Managing the lower lashes is easy for me as well. :)

I swiped it twice in this photo, but if you want to make it more emphasized, try swiping it for three times or so. Its duration is long enough and the effect hasn't changed after the party I attended to! It has some minimal tendency to be worn out though, but for its price, this really is a good buy!
