Hello my little budding beauty mavens! If you have been following my blog for a year or so, you may have heard me rave on and on about the BDJ Box over the summer.

  Living in a tropical country like the Philippines has it's perks.   For one thing, I can get a tan from soaking some sun at the comfort of my own home. No beach/tanning bed necessary. But one of the disadvantages of this season though, is that it's warm and sunny one moment and guns blazing raining the next. That is why, I always dress for two different weather conditions.   I wore this black crop top with white leopard print pocket shorts for the summer feel. I paired it up with sunnies and my favorite black booties for the laid back and cool climate vibe.    Top: DIY Ava.ph black tee Shorts: bazaar Shoes: B Club, old here So, how are you guys dressing up for the summer?

Hello Everyone! Let me share about my recent trip to BDJ Box's Beauty Social 2013 at the Mall of Asia. If you haven't known yet,  BDJ Box is a monthly beauty subscription service that lets you try out the best and latest beauty products before purchasing them for a full price. Call it, a trial version for skin care and make-up, if you will. :) During this event, pre-registered and walk-in guests are able to join beauty talks about selected topics. I had joined the 1PM : "Beauty Questions Solved!" talk, which were lead by the BDJ Box Beauty Ministry. I loved this particular talk, as I was becoming inclined to listening and watching beauty vloggers as well. After attending a talk, guests can also walk down the pink carpet to have their beauty shot ( I call this a kikay mugshot ) taken by professional photographers.  Aside from the photo-op, guests can also take part in various activities hosted by partner brands at the event. Her...

Happy Sunday, Everyone! Yes, I am well informed that I am not a beauty blogger but who can resist the eye candies at yesterday's Fine One One Emergency Workshop with Ms. Nikki Tiu? I had always been intrigued with this brand, ever since Nat introduced me to Benetint --so, I took her along with me. Sorry for the grainy photos, I took my Canon A3300 with me instead. :)  Very cute and sweet displays at the store.  I love the SF-esque architectural designs incorporated here. The wonderful staff at the store was kind enough to explain the difference between the benetint , posietint and chacha tint.  I dig the posietint the most. :) I love their How to Look the Best at Everything kit (in pink, of course)  The Perk Up Artist I have long been looking for a concealing kit that does the trick. Will purchase this soon, maybe? Ms. Nikki taught us the basics in make up and emphasized on good skin care. I didn't realize that I ...
