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!

Soul Notes: For Your Journal Tonight

Come sit with me for a while. I have my journal open, and tonight I’ve been thinking about something I suspect I do more often than I realize. I turn healing into another thing I need to accomplish. I want to know when I’ll be over something. When I’ll stop thinking about it. When something that hurt will finally stop hurting. When I’ll feel like myself again. And somewhere along the way, healing quietly becomes another deadline. Another invisible date on a calendar. Another thing I can somehow be late for. But maybe healing doesn’t work particularly well under project management. Maybe there are things I will understand quickly and things I’ll have to revisit again and again. Maybe I’ll feel completely fine one day and unexpectedly tender the next. That doesn’t mean I’ve gone backwards. It means I’m still moving through it. I remember one day, many years ago, when I had fibromyalgia. I lived in constant pain. I just couldn’t get a good day. And then one day, in the office...

Used to the Last Drop: The Ones I’d Already Told You About

  There’s something particularly satisfying about finishing a product you’ve already written about. Not testing it. Not forming first impressions. Not wondering whether I’ll still like it three weeks from now. Finished. My Molang Honey sheet masks and this body scrub both made it all the way to the end. (Finally for the Molang sheet masks, right?) I’ve reviewed both before, so I won’t review them all over again here. But perhaps using something until there is nothing left to use is its own kind of review. Beauty products come through my bathroom rather frequently. Some are lovely for a week. Some get pushed to the back of a shelf. Some simply stop working for me. And then there are the ones that quietly disappear because I kept reaching for them. Maybe an empty container is the shortest review of all. I liked it enough to finish it. If you want to read my thought about these products, just type them on my search bar. —- With elegance and quiet fire, Lady E Founder, Glow by Lady E...

The Pleasure of Leaving It Behind

  I really liked this dress. Enough that I stood there looking at it for far longer than necessary, having that familiar little debate with myself. It was black. Simple. Very me. I could already imagine how I would wear it. There was only one problem. The fabric was thick. And perhaps in another climate, or another version of my life, that wouldn’t matter very much. But I live in the Philippines. We’re going through El Niño. Heat and I are already not particularly good friends, and my histamine sensitivity has made me even less willing to wear something that might leave me uncomfortable simply because it looks good. Still, I stood there. Because sometimes walking away from something we like is strangely difficult, even when we already know it isn’t right for us. We start negotiating. Maybe I’ll only wear it indoors. Maybe the fabric isn’t that thick. Maybe I’ll regret leaving it behind. Then I realized I was trying awfully hard to convince myself to buy something my body had alrea...
