September-October Haul!

Hi everyone! This is actually a collection of the items that I've purchased last September and this month of October. Just want to share it with you! :)

I bought this compact hair dryer last month. And would you believe, I got this for only 150php ($4)? Yes! 150 Pesos! First of all, this caught my eye since it's purple and I instantly fell in love with it.. not taking into consideration about the durability. Lo and behold, the first time I've used it, I was amazed coz it performs really well. This has cool setting too! Yeah, I don't need a "heavy duty" one to dry my hair! LOL This is such a steal! Love it! :) Note: This is my first time to own a hair dryer. LOL!

I got this ceramic compact straightener from Vidal Sassoon. This costs around 1,500php but since they're on sale, I got this for only 1,300php ($30). At first, I was hesitant about the price coz I'm not looking for a "heavy duty" pricey curling iron. Yes, curling iron! LOL I decided to try this out since this is a 2-in-1 straightener/ curler plus this is the most affordable in the mall. LOL! Hmmm.. if only they have this in purple, it would be perfect! :( Anyway, this works really great, it has an on and off switch and a light indicator. And it has a 2-year warranty too! :)

I got this anti-tangle comb from Landmark last week for only 49.75php ($1).At first glance, this one looks like a straightener but the comb is actually noticeable so it caught my attention. It looks nice and pretty cool. Hmm..it works great as well! :)

 I purchased this c-lium fiber in capsules from Watson's. The box contains 50 capsules for around 100php ($2). This is not my first time to take this product. Last year, I have tried this in the husk form but I just couldn't take the texture and taste, so I've stopped. This is actually way convenient since it's in the capsule form. The downside is actually the recommended dosage, 5 capsules twice a day? seriously?! That's too much! When I've tried the husk form, one sachet is enough per day. Uggghhh. I decided to take 2 capsules per day, LOL!

 This water-based facial moisturizer from Celeteque works great. I've consumed a 50mL already. I've decided to get this in 100mL this time since it's on sale! I got this for only 188php($4) from the regular price of 209php. Yeah, not much difference. LOL

 I got this San San BB cream from HBC for only 149.75php ($3) Actually, I've been waiting for this for the longest time. Every time I visit HBC outlets, this product is out of stock. So, I was totally excited when I got this especially that it's in the shade Natural, not the Beige which is too dark.

I got this San San concealer from HBC as well for only 80php (around $2). I also have this in Natural but that's too light so, I decided to get another one in Beige. The shade is perfect on my skin. This one works great as long as you use it minimally, it tends to crease up if you apply a lot on your under eyes.

YAY! Artist Studio brushes!!! I can say that these brushes are amazing! I own a couple of brushes and I was impressed so I've decided to add more to my collection. They works really great, super soft and non- shedding plus they're sooo affordable! love them! It was perfect, they're on sale when I purchased these. :)

From left to right: liner brush @ 36.75php (80cents), concealer brush @45.75php ($1), slanted eyeliner brush @45.75php ($1)

From left to right: slanted fluffy brush @ 27.75php (64 cents) , soft dome brush @ 54.75php ($1)

I got this Essence long lasting eye pencil for 150php($3). I was originally looking for a white auto eye liner from L.A. colors  however it was out of stock that time so I just decided to pick up this one from Essence instead in the shade,silver. The shade is pretty as well. Long lasting indeed! :)

I got this lip pencil from Nichido in the shade Rosette for only 90php($2). This is my first time to own one and based on the reviews online, I must try this one! The shade is pretty neutral and the pencil glides well on the lips, make sure to exfoliate beforehand.

I got this pretty false eyelashes from Landmark for only 19.75php (45 cents). It contains the lash glue already! So excited to try these out!

I got these hair velcros for only 19.75php (45 cents) from Landmark. This packet contains 8 pieces, 2 pieces per color (blue,white,black and pink). These are important whenever I am doing my makeup to prevent my hair from disturbing it.

I got this facial sponge from Landmark for only 14.75php (30 cents). This is just for basic retouching.

I got this eyebrow tweezers for 113php (around $3). It has a container which makes it super cute,right? if only they have this in purple..I would be so happy! :) It works great, too!

This neon yellow nail polish from Caress is super cute! I got this for only 22.75php (50 cents).

I just recently discovered that I can use this NYX powder blush in taupe as a contour powder so I've ordered this online for 260php ($6). I'm so excited to try this out! :)

I also ordered this NYX jumbo eye pencil in Milk online for 180php ($4). This would be perfect in brightening the eyes. So excited to use this!:)

Last but not the least, I got this ELF cream eyeliner in black for 160php (around $4) online. I've read so many raves about this product so I've decided to give it a try.

So, these are the latest addition to my makeup collection. Share your thoughts on the comment box below.:)

My FIRST ever Client : MAKEOVER

Hi everyone! I'm so excited to let you know that I was able to conduct my first ever makeover to a client. LOL! Well, this just took me from 7 to 11 in the morning. HA! I'm just a novice MUA.*wink

Okay, let's begin!

She's my client, a 17-year-old. We're actually preparing for a photoshoot needed for her upcoming 18th birthday in December. Having that in mind, I don't want to create a "so-dramatic" look on her, I'm just aiming to achieve a "better skin" focusing on correcting and concealing considering her acne scars and pimples. Sorry, I would not be able to provide you a detailed products used. Well, I can say..I would work on it soon. :)

Here's the result:

Please bear in mind that I'm just a beginner and I want you to know that I'm open for criticisms since this is my first work. :)

For her hair, she wanted to use some hair extensions aiming for a half updo.

I've used a hair straightener to curl some hair to go with the hair extensions. On the top, I've just backcombed then put hairspray and some bobby pins and on the middle part, I've just twisted and encircled some hair and put bobby pins and of course, hairspray for finishing.

I've also helped her pick the outfit for the photoshoot, anyways she would also wear her gown. So, here's the OOTD:

Lovely, isn't it? *wink I hope you like my first work. Please share your thoughts on the comment box below.

KOOKIES & KREME

Hi everyone! How have you been doing lately? I hope everything's going well . :)

September has been a rollercoaster ride for me. A lot of personal stuff involved but of course, there were great ones too! Well, I can say that these babies keep me sane every now and then. They give me joy and some kind of fulfillment in taking care of them. HAHA! They are my TWO SIBERIAN HAMSTERS that we've got last September! I'm just too excited to tell you how cute they are... :)

See! They are so adorable! So tiny and fluffy! I want to squeeze them everytime we play. LOL

So cute, right? They fit perfectly in Hamlet's mini mansion. Hamlet is now staying on the mini tank. BTW, he's now grown up, sometimes I feel sad that he's on that tiny tank.   :(

KOOKIES & KREME, such cutie names! Kookies, the female hamster, is the one with brown fur. Kreme, the male, is the one with so adorable grey and white fur! 

They are about 4 weeks old when we got them, so they are now about 8 weeks. I'm getting a little worried thinking of them reaching 12 weeks coz I need to separate them already. Hmm.. I'm not sure if we'll purchase another tank or just put a divider, well to save money and space. There are times when I'm thinking of breeding them... HAHA! We don't have enough space in the house and yet I'm thinking of this! And not to mention the budget to be allocated for the food and other materials. *sigh Well, what can I do..they're just too cute! I also love playing with them. They are tame now coz they were somehow exposed to my scent already. The first few times that I've tried to hold them, they were biting me like tiny bites comparable to needlestick but milder. LOL! It's so hard to explain. Anyways, they love sunflower seeds. All they do is roam around the tank, most of the time they are sleeping. They never tried to escape like the syrian hamsters do. Well, Hamlet is just too eager to escape nowadays so I've covered the top of the tank (with holes of course) and I've placed heavy objects to ensure he won't be able get out.
