Glow by Lady E

My tiny babies are now all grown up and they stay downstairs. They’re in that stage where they are very curious, playful and just want to explore. These are some pics I took before they migrated. They were just outside my door. I was supposed to go out of my room when I saw them feeding. So how am I supposed to go out? I didn’t want to disturb them so I just took some photos but the little one was not digging it at all. That’s their elder sister Chanel. She’s very sweet. She always licks her siblings whenever she sees them. She hugs them while they sleep. I guess this baby is getting pissed off with all the picture taking while they’re feeding. = ) He’s giving me the evil eye. Nah, actually, he’s giving me a flying kiss. When cats wink at you, they are actually giving you a flying kiss. If you want to reciprocate, wink at them slowly. In the end, the baby just gave up and allowed me to click away. Oh, how I love kittens…

Meet M. She’s a reader/follower of this blog and she’s a very good friend of mine. I invited her to the Clinique Mini Makeover Workshop. She came wearing this maxi blouse/mini dress that I really like and she looked like she was going on a date. Well, she wasn’t but she was meeting a girlfriend later on. Malou, her beauty consultant asked if she wanted a natural or a party look. M and I both agreed – Party!!! You only get a few makeover’s in your life so why not glam it up, right? Before that, she was given a skin assessment. She’s lucky.  She only has a few complaints. Her skin type is: Her face was prepped using the toner and moisturizer from the 3-Step System. Like with the other girls, Malou also taught M some tips on how to care for her skin and how to apply makeup. One of the things she taught was putting loose powder on your hand then rubbing it with the other to warm it up. Then you press your hand again on your palm and pat the same hand on your face...

(Updated by request) It seems that 2011 is a suitable year for marriage for most in my age group. I have been hearing news of weddings since the start of the year. Even my friend Kitten found herself invited to a couple of weddings this year. Let me tell you a secret. I was frustrated that I wasn’t able to be MB’s sister’s “makeup artist” during her wedding. I sooooo wanted to apply makeup on the bride and the rest of the girls. I am no makeup artist but I can dream can’t I?  Oh, well. Maybe next time. With another girl, of course. So, I’ve been here in bed the whole day as my legs are so painful and stiff at the same time. (I walk like a penguin at the moment). So to pass the time and to do something productive, I decided to make an EOTD for someone who will be attending a wedding . I started with something a bit conservative in terms of colors as I know there are a lot of ladies out there who get intimidated by color. Well, don’t be. Here’s the look: Tools of the trad...

It's almost the weekend! Are you planning to go out on a date or be with your girlfriends for some bonding time? Here is a perfect EOTD for a Saturday afternoon get-together. Eye makeup is courtesy of Baby from Clinique: Again, she used a golden strawberry all over the lids and a brown eyeshadow for the crease. A brown liquid liner was used on top and a pencil liner for my waterline. Read more about this event here .

Thank you Michelle of Beautiful Loft for this award: Let’s see, 7 things about myself. Hmmm… 1. I like eating reheated spaghetti with sinangag (fried rice) 2. I was a figure skater 3. I adore cats---- Duh. And hate people who hate cats. 4. I actually don’t mind having polymyositis. Sure it’s hard and annoying but I’m too busy to give it any attention. Well, unless when I’m paralyzed. 5. I love anime and medical dramas but I just couldn’t find time to watch them. Note to self: Download eps! 6. I didn’t attend 3rd and 4th year high school 7. I am having another life-changing event and that is seriously reviving my businesses and opening (and making it last) another online shop, Hyphen . This is a culmination of all my passions and past businesses. I’m making this my full time job. I’ve started joining bazaars when I was 17 and through the years it was on and off. I’ve been thinking about going back to the bazaar scene for a year and I got the push I needed last December. So I gues...

I have tried many products to cleanse, protect and maintain/improve my skin. When I was a teen, I was very loyal to Pond’s. When I took steroids, my skin became very sensitive to products. I suddenly  became allergic to products that I’ve been using for years. So, my quest for a new skin care line has begun. From Pond’s, I went to Celeteque then to Etude House then to The Face Shop Cleanser. Celeteque was okay but I felt that it wasn’t enough. Etude House was better than Celeteque but I felt that there is still something better out there. I tried the TFS facial wash and I was very satisfied. I thought it couldn’t be better until I found this: (Prior to this, I used Garnier moisturizer and Nivea Sparkling White Toner.) I am Skin Type 2 on the Clinique 3-Step System. I will not sugar coat this. These products do not smell nice. They smell like something a doctor would give you but in saying that, they also work like something a doctor would give you. I saw results immediately. M...

So I went Lip Ice CRAZY last year. I finally found the time to blog about 3 of them. Here are the Lip Ice Color Lipbalms (for soft and beautiful lips –haha!): The three variants are Candy Apple, Pretty Pink and Sweet Rose. There’s a lot of product in one tube. This is Pretty Pink which looks really red. This is Sweet Rose. I love those tiny sparkles! Here are swatches: From top to bottom – Pretty Pink, Sweet Rose, Candy Apple. I just opened Candy Apple today and I haven’t used it yet like for the whole day. I just swiped it on for photo purposes. Lip Swatches: Pretty Pink looks very light. This is perfect as a base for other pink lipsticks. When I’m too lazy to apply and bring lipstick, I swipe Sweet Rose on. The sparkles and strong shade make it a good lipstick substitute. Candy Apple is also light. I was surprised that it didn’t turn out red like the picture on the cover. I guess I can use this as a base for red lipsticks. I love the fact that these lip b...
