What’s in my Makeup Pouch

What’s in my Makeup Pouch–October

I was reading Project Pan blog posts the other day and thought how envious I was of ladies who can finish several products in a month’s time. I saw one blogger with several bottles of lotion on one go. How do they do it? I read some of her tips but they don’t differ from mine. So, seeing that my makeup collection is still steadily growing, I decided to rotate them according to the season/month/occasion. Hence, the what’s in my pouch post. I will be updating my makeup pouch every month so that I will be able to use all my cosmetics. I will take this further by setting aside a group of products on my vanity to be used for a month. I will keep the others so that I won’t be tempted to use them. This is how I will deal with my Project Pan. = )

Without further ado, here’s my October pouch:

This is the Forever 21 pink glitter pouch gifted by Ahne for my birthday.

These are the contents. I just emptied my pouch and took a picture. = )

Let me see now. That's my Paul & Joe foundation compact. Above it is a Clinique lipstick in RSVPink. Then there’s the ELF Cover Everything Concealer (which I have yet to blog about). Above that is the ELF Luscious Liquid Lipstick in Perfect Pink (which needs to be blogged too) and the Too Faced Luster Liner in Akoya and my Aranaz mirror. To the left is the Benefit Dandelion Blush. To the right is Carmex and beside that is my Kiss Me Milky Color Lipstick in 03. The gloss is Bobbi Brown in Bronzed Pink (to be blogged as well) and of course my every reliable Kleenex Oil Control Film. I really hope I’ll be able to finish some products by the end of October. Wish me luck!

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...

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...

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...
