Hide Flaws Hide

hey! :) sorry I've been so lazy lately. I just don't feel like taking pictures for my blog, nor typing to share what I have in mind. Maybe because of the rainy season informing that summer has been officially over for more than a week now, which is kinda sad. I created this post just to feel less guilty for not making a new blog entry. Really, I don't have any idea right now on what to say. So, I decided to browse my pictures on my laptop to help me decide on what to post, then I saw a photo of my make-up palette that I ordered online. Forgot that I took a picture of it, I have it for a month now, so I guess it wouldn't hurt if I share it with you guys. Better late than never.

I received the package the next day after I ordered it. cool, isn't it?

as you can see, the packaging was safely secured.

sorry, I have to copy the photo from their website since I want to  emphasize the real colors of it and I  just can't because I have a poor camera. :( planning to buy a new one, though. yay! :)

It is actually a corrector/concealer/contour palette, yes, all in one. I became addicted to concealers since I had my on and off allergies/rashes, two or three years ago, if I'm not mistaken.  I usually have it on my face, especially under my eye. How awful and tragic, like on my FACE!  Anyway, this palette is actually good it hides my flaws instantly when it comes to concealing and correcting, but what I don't like about it is that it fades away quickly.  So disappointing, I expected them to stay long like what it should be. Really,  how am I supposed to retouch?  Do you expect me to bring the whole huge palette with me?  lol! What is interesting about this is the contour pan on the bottom right as you can see on this palette. It surprisingly, works! I thought it's way too dark for me but it blends really well like magic.

I am also thankful to the seller, she's so kind and accomodating. It's my second time to order a make-up from her, the first one is an eye shadow and blush palette. similar to coastal scent, I guess.

I really love this palette, that's all I can say.

guys, any suggestion about a really good concealer? and please help find a nice product that will effectively lessen my dark under eye circles and for my wrinkles. I know it's too early for me to have wrinkles but believe me I already have it. :( I got it from scratching and rubbing my eyes and eye area too much that my thin skin under my eyes got stretched and caused me to have premature wrinkles. by the way, The skin around our eyes is some of the thinnest skin on our body. So if you can, never ever rub your eyes. I swear you'll regret it.   

Right now my favorite concealer is the body shop's concealer pencil and I won't be without it. :)

puhleeeease, leave some suggestions especially about my under eye problem. Thanks in advance. :)

5 CUTE THINGS

I just want to share another side of me. It is my love for cute things even the word "cute" is cute for me. hahaha. It's in my system, When I was a kid I used to collect stationeries, stickers, and erasers. I always end up to the point of buying something just because it's cute or pretty even though I don't need it.  I know most us have the same way of behaving when it comes to buying the things we don't need.  It's like a good example of what our life is:  a constant battle between what we want and what is right.  I was told before that in order to control yourself from buying too much, you should ask yourself first if you need it or if you're going to use it.(sounds pretty much the same, i know.)  Well, sometimes it works but I still believe that it is not a waste of money, because the happy feeling I always get from buying those things is so worth it.  As long as you know how much budget you got and always stick to that limit.

Sorry, I have been blabbing too much, I hope that it even makes sense. Anyway, all I want to post are the "cute" things that I bought on my last trip to HK and Macau, which I have previously mentioned on this blog site. So here, I am going to post the 5 cute things that fitted my budget (of course):

Loafers are back

Hi! My newest addiction when it comes to footwear is.... Loafers! :)

Did you know that loafers were first seen during 1930's? well, It is really a classic footwear and I'm glad that they're back. :)

sorry for the poor quality of the photo

Recently I bought a new one at Cole Vintage, The Ramp, Trinoma. They sell super cute loafers, that I had a hard time choosing which one to buy.

here's mine:

Here are the DO's and DONT's about loafers according to OK Philippines magazine(my fave mag) issued this June 2011:

DO pair it with cropped pants, skinny jeans, and mini-skirts.
DON'T wear it with below-the-knee skirts to avoid looking dowdy.
DO invest in high quality leather so your pair can last for years.
DON'T wear it with ankle socks. Go for opaque tights if you must.

here's me wearing my first loafers that I bought while I was in Hong Kong:

How about you, Is there something(footwear in particular) you are interested about lately? :)
would love to know.
