EOTD’s

Happy New Year everyone! How was your New Year’s Eve celebration? We had an advanced dinner last Friday night at my grandma’s house  as I have to work during the weekend plus the oldies didn’t  want to go out with all the firecrackers in our street. Anyway, 2011 was truly a blessed year for me. I pray that 2012 will be filled with joy, love and prosperity for all of us.

I have a lot of backlog posts and here’s one of them. I am trying to get my “dressing-up mojo” back and that would require an extra effort doing my makeup. Here’s a look that I made using the Urban Decay 15th Anniversary Palette. I am still getting accustomed to my new camera settings so please forgive the shots as the colors/shading are not very visible.

I used Vanilla and Deep End. As expected of UD, the colors are vibrant and they lasted the whole day.By the way, I used Too Faced Shadow Insurance for my primer.

This other EOTD was created using Stila Fabulous in Fiji:

I used all the colors, even the blush which surprisingly turned out pretty on me.  The problem is, the colors were hard to blend and harder to build up. See:

The colors also don’t last as long as UD even with the same primer. Anyway, I still like this palette because of the deep blue and the lip and cheek color.

I will do my best to be more active in my blog this new year. I have a lot of plans for it and all I gotta do is find the time to be able to execute them. Wish me luck! Again, Happy New Year everyone!

Soft Luxe Travels: Day 1 - The Journey to Vigan Part 1

In this post, we will start our journey to Vigan! The Night Before After packing our things, I did a few things for myself to help me relax and decompress so that I can sleep. I'm a night owl and not used to waking up early nor sleeping early, so I have to be strategic.  I painted my nails that night after all my chores, so that the nail polish wouldn't chip.  However, I forgot that I needed to make pressed sandwiches for our breakfast the following day!  Because really, what’s a road trip mom without freshly painted nails and a last-minute kitchen hustle? 😂 So, I had to do a lot of washing and hoped for the best that my nail polish will not chip! Luncheon meat, eggs, Kewpie Trust me, it tastes better than it sounds at 11 PM while trying not to chip your polish. That night, we also tried the Ube Halaya from Amira's. This was from our trip to Tagaytay . I'll try to make a review of this on my food blog . With everything prepped, I finally let myself drift off—half excit...

Alone Time

My good friend Kitten and I were supposed to go out yesterday but she had some unexpected things come up. I needed to buy some stuff as I am packing for a trip and so I went alone. I actually enjoy going out alone as much as going out with girlfriends or MB. It gives me a chance to eat whatever I like to eat and explore new restos. It’s also nice to take my time when shopping. After paying my bills, I had a late lunch at Toast Box: I love Hainanese Chicken. I sometimes cook this dish but it’s too tedious so I settle for eating out. I’m so happy that there are now restaurants that serve proper Hainanese Chicken. Well, except that one above was sooooo bloody. It was swimming in blood when I pulled the meat apart so I had it changed. You know what Gordon Ramsay says, bloody chicken is poisonous. This is the second time I ate at Toast Box and in both times, the chicken was so bloody. After lunch, I started shopping. First stop was Beabi where I bought these: The Sakura thermos on...

Holiday State of Mind

  Sometimes, a quick escape is all it takes to reset the spirit. Tagaytay always gives me that holiday state of mind… Even a short drive can feel like a retreat when your heart is ready to embrace rest. My son successfully finished his recital last Sunday and as a reward, my sister treated us to Tagaytay yesterday.  Getting Ready for the Trip I decided to use my BYS Golden Hour Palette for today's look. Makeup, for me, is part of the ritual—it sets the tone that today is special. Here are the swatches: From top to bottom: Polaroid, Candid, Aperture, In Focus, Portrait, Panoramic In Focus is slightly wet, like something between a liquid and cream eyeshadow. The color is gorgeous! I love Panoramic, too! Polaroid is a bit chalky and not as pigmented as the shadows in the Queen Bee Palette.  Here are the face shades: Highlighter: Illumination Contour: Ambiance I haven't tried Illumination yet, only Ambiance. I used it on top of my BYS Bronzer. It's a buildable powder, a littl...
