Ha[u]te Me Not

Let me talk about a few of my beauty must haves this month. I am all about the greens and the all natural. I think that the less we put on, the better our skin gets. And boy, does my flesh need a breather from my zombie-ish routine. Nature Republic Aloe Vera Soothing Gel. I have been seeing this over department store counters and have always wondered what it was like to use. So one day, I decided to take one of these home. And surprisingly, I wasn't disappointed. They said that this gel could be used for a variety of things - hair, skin, face, etc. The only thing it wasn't was edible. This summer, my skin (especially around my face) is extremely dry and flaky and I found that this is a great moisturizer to use at night. In the mornings, when I wash my face I can still feel a little bit of the gel come right off. My face feels soft and plump. The best part of it is that it doesn't break me out and this tub will probably last me a long time. Nature Republic Eyebrow ...

I literally gasped and squeaked when I checked my mail and saw this beauty.  Thanks to again to Viviamo.Inc for never failing to put a smile on my face. And let me make your day as happy as mine by telling you how you can easily score invites to their upcoming Tres Chic BDJ Box Beauty Social this March 23rd 2014 . You can check out the details at the end of this post :) It is no mystery that I am a Benefit fan, see my benebabe experience here . So you can probably tell how much I am raving about this month's BDJ Box by now. Agent Zero Shine Porefessional Shine Vanishing Pro Powder x Stay Flawless 15-Hour Primer The following day when I got my package, I promised to try out everything from my BDJ Box. I used the Shine Vanishing Pro Powder and it worked like a charm setting my makeup. I love that the sample included a brush for easy application. The powder left a barely there veil that kept my makeup matte for hours. I tried out the 15 hour primer as well...

   Out of the things I received last Valentines , this box has got to be one of the best yet. :) For the past few weeks, I have been obsessing over korean makeup and skin care products. And just like magic, my beauty godmothers from Viviamo Inc. sent me another cute surprise in the mail - the Jan/Feb BDJ Box! I was out running an errand on the day this baby arrived, the first thing I looked for upon reaching home is that quaint little box shaped parcel filled with my mini surprises. Look below to see what I got. Not in the photo: Garnier Darkest Brown Hair Dye Out of all the things in my BDJ Box that I look forward to, the Tony Moly skin cream had to be my favorite. I have been searching high and low for an online shop carrying Juju Aquacleanse and other skin care alternatives are just the fix to keep me satisfied until I find my seller. (Btw, if you know any please hook me up! Will love you to the end of earth and back.) So far, I have used up my Ton...

  Hello little babes, let me share this new item I got from Sampleroom . The Colour Collection Ultimate Wear Slim Lipstick in Naked Peach.   I ordered another lippie this month, because what self respecting girl doesn't need another tube of lipstick? Lucky for me, the site had one in a shade I was looking for - something pink and natural. I have been obsessed with gradient lips, and this would look great as the base color.    This lipstick promises rich, longwearing color that glides on smoothly and doesn’t fade away easily. Always hydrating and never drying, this high-cushioned lipstick keeps lips moisturized all day, minimizes the appearance of fine lines, and stops feathering to give lips the perfect plumped-up appearance. Slim and handy, with a see through window for easy identification.   Now let's see how this fares out. Above is a swatch of the lipstick on the back of my hand. This CC lipstick glides very smoothly and I can feel...

Well, look who decided to finally upload this video? Took me ages, but here you go. :) Hope you guys are having an amazing holiday! Til next post <3

Watch out for my November Favorites video featuring all of the goodies up here and more! Video will be up soon. *winks*

Hello my little yummy apple pies!  As you may have noted from the layout, my style is becoming a little bit more lax and youthful- hence the pink craziness going on above. I was feeling a little bit detached from my page, so I decided to go back to my first passion - videos! Below is a little snippet on my take on how to apply half false eye lashes. It is perfect for times when you want to add a little oomph to your typical make-up without going overboard. And oh, this is perfect too for when you find yourself missing half of the falsies in your set! ^^ Please let me know what you think. I always love to hear from all of you. <3

Happy Sunday, Everyone! I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. I certainly did, especially since I got an amazing surprise in the mail yesterday morning.   Viviamo Inc. (the brand behind BDJ Power Planner) was lovely enough to send me the April BDJ Box so I can experience it first hand. :)  I previously attended the BDJ Box Beauty Social here . And if you'll notice the products, a majority of them were featured brands at the event. I love that this month's box has a dynamic line-up. They are trying to incorporate both local and international brands for variety.  I must say, what greater way to love our own than try our own (local) beauty products, right?     Excited to find out what's inside? Then scroll away! :) 1. Avon SSS Glutathione Lotion with Marula (250ml, full size) Php 350 2. Celeteque Hydrolized Moisturizing Mist (120ml, full size) Php 349 3. Revlon Nail Art Neon (7.68m...
