CLOSED | AV Fever Part 3: Makeup by Ana Patricia's Anniversary Giveaway

Ana is one of my favorite makeup guru. She's so talented and down to earth. Knowing she's young, even younger than me, she has accomplished so many things according to her passion. If you want to know her better, you can follow her blog, subscribe to her Youtube channel, be a part of her growing facebook page community and follow on twitter

She's having a giveaway now and one part of this is posting about makeup looks she has done. OMG! I got too excited because now we can all express how we love her works without thinking about the limited characters in the comment box. Hehe.. :) If you want to know more about the giveaway, click here. Happy Anniversary Ana! 

The prizes are awesome! These are my personal picks and I wish to have them: Beauty Cosmetics Perfection Brush Kit in Black, Skindinavia Spray, The Body Shop 4-Step Smokey Eyes Set, Revlon Photoready Primer, MeMeMe Shimmer Stack and MeMeMe Sunbeam Highlighter.

FAVORITE 3: The Modern Barbie Makeup Look

You can check how she did it HERE. Did you see how amazing and simple it is? I was so hooked on this look because it was done with precision and simplicity. She need not use so many products to come up with this. I was never a fan of dolls even Barbie's. But looking at this look, if all the dolls would look like this, I will be most likely collecting few for me.

FAVORITE 2: Everyday Makeup Look

This may be my most viewed video of Ana. Since I am not a pro, I just want my face to look flawless and enhanced. I have done a lot of searches in Youtube, everyday makeup look. And this is one of my most favorites.ow I am amazed how Ana was able to pull out a very pretty look with just minimal products. And I also learned a technique from her. Using a brown eyeliner and smudging it with your fingers to fake your crease. She is also one of the makeup gurus that uses local brands. Tangkilikin ang sariling atin! So everytime I forget how to do a simple look, I always go back to this video.

FAVORITE 1: Louis Vuitton S/S 2012

I so love this look because it is so feminine and very simple. The flawless face, the bright and well defined eyes, what else would you ask for? I also love how she used the highlighters properly which gave an even more sophisticated look. Everything is balanced, and toned down. Which makes it a look suitable for everyday and for special occasions. This will work for me since I am not fond of putting many colors in my face, I just want to have a flawless and fresh-looking face. One thing I so love about this (actually on all of Ana's makeup looks) is how she was able to make a fabulous look using local brands. Less is more. That's always what she says when people asks her about makeup advice. If you want to see how she did it, you can check her video HERE and the product list HERE.

Scrub that Dirt Off with my New Found Friend

I was never a fan of facial scrubs since I was preoccupied with the thought that it will slough off dead and healthy skin. But hey, I was wrong all along!

I have read my threads and comments that even the healthiest skin needs to be exfoliated or scrubbed at least once a week. And I discovered that these scrubs need not to be expensive. In fact, you can find it in your own kitchen!

Cath Kidston Theme + How to Customize Google Chrome Theme

I am so loving my new browser theme! I use Google Chrome because personally I find it faster than any other browser. And since it is user-friendly, you will not find it difficult to use.

Changing the theme is really addictive, as if you're regularly changing your mobile phone's casing, wallpaper, screen saver and the like.

My current theme is Cath Kidston theme. I so love it because it is very feminine. I love the pinks, the flowers, uhhh, I just love it!

So if you want to try to have one of yours, here are simple steps. But before anything, pleaase make sure you have Google Chrome as your browser. If you don't have, you can always download it HERE.

 Moving on, here's how you can install a new theme.


 And that's it. Just click on "Apply" and finished!

I hope it was helpful. Have a great day!

10 Beauty Secrets Every Woman Should Know (Sited from Ehow.com)

Hi everyone! It's Friday and I thought of something new and beneficial. I read an article online and I found it helpful so I wanted to share it with you.

The article was written by Joe Crosby from eHow.com.

SECRET 1: Your skin cleanser is making things worse (maybe).

Photo from google
Cleansing can irritate even healthy skin, never mind sensitive or “problem” skin, and many cleansers are guilty. How then should you best cleanse without further irritation? The solution, regardless of skin type, is to look for a gentle cleanser that dissolves dirt and excess oil without leaving the skin feeling tight or tingly — nothing with detergents, alcohols, fragrances, irritants or ingredients that block pores. Think that means going natural? No. Among the list of irritants are lemon, mint, cinnamon and essential oils.

Reading for a Better Me

How was the long weekend guys? Mine was productive I guess. I had time to spend with my family and time to do little things at home. At least I can say I was productive somehow.

It's nearly midnight. 11:46 to be exact but I am still awake. I am spending my time reading before sleeping. Oops! Di not be impressed, I just started doung this just this month.

Because I am fond of watching KrisTV, which many others think that it is just chismisan, well it's not. I get to learn lessons in life through her segments. Recently, they featured some people who won books from her and Anne Curtis. The winners stated their personal reasons why they love reading, but one statement from Miss Kris Aquino struck me. "You become a better person through reading".

Because my life is such a roller coaster these past few years, I reflected on and told myself that these things may be happening because of me. So taking her advice, I brought myself to National Bookstore and Book Sale at SM.

This was my first purchased book. You might be wondering why I got this. Look, I don't have a perfect married life, first because I am not yet married. Haha. I picked this because I might get some pointers on how to be a wife or a partner at least.

I am currently enjoying the book, I am almost halfway through it. It made me proud of myself because there's something different in me now. I am doing something which I was not interested in before, which I believe will be beneficial.

If you have any suggestions of book titles that inspired you andmight do the same for me, please share it. It will be a big help. By the way, I want to read inspirational books, something that would make me a better me.

A part which hit me, and made my laugh!
I think it should be!

LOTD: Makeup sa Bahay Look

This look might be very simple and you may wonder why I still use makeup at home. Well, I do not do it everyday. I just put makeup at home when I want to look prettier. :) Plus, I use webcam for work, I just want to see myself looking presentable. Vain me! LOL.

On this look, I used very minimal and lightweight products as much as possible.


My Bag On-The-Go: Featured

People would often see me carrying a bag big enough to contain my things and my baby's. And since I often go out with him, I make sure that everything we need is in my bag. I hate carrying extra luggage when it's just the two of us. Can you imagine how difficult would that be? Carrying your super heavy kid on the other hand and extra bags on the other? It's a no no. So I stick to using medium to large bags.


Ever Bilena Mini Haul

I am in search of cheap but quality products that are accessible. We sometimes neglect these products because there are many high-end products emerging like mushrooms in the market. 

They say that there's no harm in trying. And I so agree. :) Ever Bilena is a local brand found in any department stores here in the Philippines. You can also check their website and online catalog HERE.

Checking on their catalog, I found interesting products that are usually raved about online. I got two matte lippies and HD waterproof liquid eyeliner with 2 free eye pencils inside. How cool is that?

Nail of the Week: Starry Warm Blue

To start the week, I decided to paint my nails again. Since I am loving light nail colors lately, I decided to get a baby blue one and just accentuated it with glitters and stars.

 I don't know exactly when this trend came out. Painting your ring finger with different color. In my case, I designed my ring finger with glitters and a star. Just to make it so cute. :)


My ring finger on a closer look.

 These are the colors I used. San San Nail Polish in Warm Blue and Chic Nail Color in Glaze.

How did you start your week? Does painting your nails give you excitement as well?

I got Mail: Prizes from Janna's Sassy and Girly 1st Anniversary Giveaway

Yay! I am so excited to share this with you!! :D I am fond of joining raffles through the net. Some were paid but the most fun part are the free raffles! That's one thing I enjoy on blogging. I am updated to giveaways by bloggers I follow.

And here it is, my first won raffle from Janna of jannamarielopez.blogspot.com.

This was a giveaway opened 2 months ago to celebrate her 1st anniversary in blogging. The rules are very easy and simple so it was not that hard to join. You just have to be patient to update your FB and twitter status daily. After doing all the steps, I found my name posted HERE.

Here's what I got: The GIRLY LOOT PRIZE!

It was sent through me via LBC. But since the delivery does not reach our house, I had to ask them to deliver the goods to my parents'.

Pink and teal wallet | Etude House Bee Happy | Once Upon a Time Necklace | Kawaii Bow Connector ring | Black Racerback with Detachable Chain necklace

Beauty UK Eyeshadow Collection 5 |  ELF Eyeshadow Pot | Porcelain Face Mask | ELF Super Glossy Lip Shine in Angel | Wet n Wild Glassy Gloss Lip Gel in Sun Glaze | Beauty UK Lip Lust in St Tropez | Sassy Nail Color in Sapphire | Strip it! Chocolate Sugaring Tub
I am so happy to know that I won yet overwhelmed with what I received! I can't wait to try them and make reviews on them. I just noticed now that there's an item missing from the list, the NYX Jumbo Pencil in 607. Maybe Janna just overseen it. :) Thanks Janna! More power to you and keep on blogging!
