Dear 2014,Thank You!

Hi my dearies! Sorry for not blogging lately.

I went to Manila to visit my family and

spend most of the time with them. Plus, kind of spend a lot of money too. huhu.

Not that I wasn't expecting it to happen. haha. Cray.

Even I went a little late for gift-giving. I made sure I gave my nieces and nephew one of their wishlist. When I saw them very happy, it made me more happier.

I always think Christmas is for children.

Review: Pink Alarm! In2it Lipstick

Hi my dear readers! I've been catching up with blogging! Can't complain when I'm enjoy doing it.

Not only that, I've been ordering here and there of lipsticks again because

I've been throwing some since some are expired and some melted.

Recently, I'm looking for much more dark than vibrant. While I was assisted by the saleslady she offered me this lipstick and she was like "Ma'am try niyo to, maganda" and I said "ofcourse sasabihin mo maganda kasi binebenta mo hehe" (not sarcastically said ha, in a funny way naman) . She said "no ma'am try niyo, maganda talaga best seller namin yan"

and I swatched it on the back of my palm and I said this lipstick is not what I'm looking for. Then, I tried it on my lips and it's like "poof!". I MUST buy it. haha!

Without further ado, here's In2ir Lipstick in PINK ALARM!

Review: EB Advance BB Cream

Sorry, I've been MIA. I'm actually trying very hard to do edit videos and at the same time which is which to review. While answering your queries and managing my mini ebook store. I don't have complaints though. I feel happy on doing these. Enough on the drama. For now, I'll be on track with blogging. Still have so many things to learn on vlogging and I think I need a new laptop to actually have a good application for video editing. Must save first and prioritize. 

Anyway, here's Ever Bilena Advance BB Cream in Oriental

Review: Ever Bilena Matte Lipstick

When we were kids we love buying those 10pesos worth of fruity lip glosses. Who's with me?haha

That's actually fun. Then, In high school I used to buy lip balms especially Maybelline and Nivea. Then, college, when I became obsessed with lipsticks my ever first bought(my own money) was Ever Bilena matte lipstick in Off Beat Pink and Pink Flame. If I''m not mistaken their retail price before was PhP 135.00. Just after a year it became PhP 145.00 and then PhP 155.00 and now 

Price: PhP 165.00

and also they have a wide range of shades unlike before
