Let’s face it. Looking pleasant in the morning, gives us a positive vibe and it does make an impression. Same goes when we look tired , everything seems to be dragging and it usually triggers our temper.Who doesn’t want to look fresh as you attend to your daily routine? Whenever we talk to our workshop attendees we always ask them what they think about makeup, there’s usually one story to hear:

Urban Decay's Naked was released last year for their fall collection. Trust me, this has been my ever -reliable palette whenever I do bridal, I just can leave home without it. I would simply describe it as the only palette that you'll ever need. Be it from soft neutral look too hot smoky glam, your collection wouldn't be complete without it. So far, its the best Urban Decay palette I ever tried.

Think of a happy place....what's the first thing that comes into your mind? probably a room full of chocolates?your dream travel destination? a carnival perhaps? If you ask me, I'd say Beauty Bar is the one! Being a certified makeup junkie that I am, this place is usually my sweet escape :) and I'm sure other makeup enthusiasts can relate :)) I love the fact that they carry high quality brands

It was raining all day , got nothing to do, wasn't able to come to the office because of the typhoon . Spent the whole morning with my daughter just lying around sound tripping but then the electricity went off...Cait - my little princess had her afternoon nap, I started getting bored---but not that long :) Knowing myself, I never entertain boredom. I started cleaning my closet and I suddenly

10 Years ago, I was the girl with no plans. I work to earn. I earn to live. Setting goals was never my priority I was just going with the flow. I grabbed the first job that landed on my hands, without thinking if it interests me or not, all I knew was that I graduated from college and the next sensible thing to do is to have a job. What are these for? Why am I here? And what am I to others? These

This is it! my very first OoTD!! For those who aren't quite familiar with the beauty blogword, OoTD stands for Oufit of the Day.Im quite hesitant to do an OoTD entry since I don't think I have the fashion sense that I could even consider as "blog worthy". But hey, its my journal - here I can share anything to anyone without any apprehensions. I learned that the minute I decided to put my

One thing I can’t stand having are dry rough hands. Besides the fact that it’s a total turn off to your man who can’t keep his hands from holding yours, don’t you just love the feeling of having supple smooth hands? I even used to spend time for a paraffin wax session at Relaksasi just to give my hands a treat! (imagine a chocolate -smelling- super- soft- hands after! go check it out at Relaksasi

I've been working with brides for 4 years now, I just simply love doing bridal makeup. Nothing beats the feeling of being a part of a woman’s most special day. If you rummage through my train case it’s definitely a bride’s beauty haven. I had the chance to work on a few fashion show stints while I was still in makeup school , but I’m most confident to say that bridal makeup is my forte. Until

I am not so sure with some girls but I find it tedious to dress up sometimes. I’m your basic black dress kinda girl I can’t even label myself as fashionista as much as I want to cope up with the latest “fasyon” I don’t have the patience and the skills to pull it off :) When it comes to make up- now that’s a different story of course , but since I’m not that too adventurous when it comes to

Sexy, full, plumply, thin , supple or kissable – It doesn’t matter as long as its not chapped, dry , flaky, pale and unhealthy. A beautiful smile lights up a day , it does makes your face look more beautiful and lively, it is said that the lips are the most important and sensitive part of your body , mainly the reason why you have to take care of it. How many of us are aware that the lips,

Its been 2 years since the last time I posted an entry here. It seems like 10 years, many things happened in my life that I never even imagined before. Looking back, I was just an ordinary employee working in a software banking company 8 hrs a day inside a small cubicle. I was determined to change my fate and I did. If there's one thing I'm really good at right now its how I juggle my time. I'm

If you've been reading my posts, you'll know by now that I'm also hooked into NARS cosmetics..I believe in its quality despite the fact that is a bit expensive compared to other makeup products in the market, however, let me tell you this (and will keep on telling you over and over again..) that NARS products are worth every penny you spend. It simply delivers.And being a fan , I will surely not

Makeup is a part of my everyday routine, I can't go to work without putting my makeup on. Knowing how harsh this could be to my skin, I opted to use tinted moisturizer than the ordinary foundation. I just wanted my face to look fresh , with a natural glow.I've done some research through the internet and it seemed like everyone is raving about Laura Mercier's tinted moisturizer. ..when Sephora

Last week I went shopping for my daughter's costume for her school's Halloween party....few weeks ago she wanted to be princess Aurora ("aka" sleeping beauty) few days after she changed her mind and decided to go for Tinkerbelle instead (fyi..Cait’s school won’t allow the kids to wear scary costumes..tsk! tsk!

I know I've been tattling about NARS eyeshadow duos ( I know, I know..), forgive me but I can't stop rambling over these fantabulous color mishmash. One of my personal fave as of the moment is from their fall collection, the Nars duo eye shadow in Isolde. With its shade described as Frosted ginger & shimmering copper, I can't help but think of a glam look on a hot sizzling summer night! Weird
