Missha Cosmetics @ The SM North Edsa Annex

My fascination for anything-Korean led me to go to the recently-opened Missha at SM North last Sunday to see the wide array of cosmetics they have. My sister wanted to get her very own BB Cream and since we haven't been to Missha, which apparently has a whole line of BB Creams, we just had to go there! Sure enough, they have a wide array of these babies, starting with their best-seller, which is the M Perfect Cover BB Cream. It has whitening, anti-wrinkle...

Trend Worth A Try: The Red Cardigan

Gone are the days when the red cardigan has been attributed to the lovable Mr. Rogers (or was it a pull-over?).

Its also pretty versatile since you can wear it for work or for play.If you do want to try this out, cost is not going to be a problem since there are great looking cardigans...

RA 8491: Otherwise known as the law Adidas could be sued for

Remember my previous entry wherein I said that there was a law that prohibited wearing the flag? I finally found it the law:RA 8491: AN ACT PRESCRIBING THE CODE OF THE NATIONAL FLAG, ANTHEM, MOTTO, COAT-OF-ARMS AND OTHER HERALDIC ITEMS AND DEVICES OF THE PHILIPPINESSo in Sec. 34, it is prohibited to "...e) To wear the flag in whole or in part as a costume or uniform;"I have yet to find out whether its literally wearing the Philippine flag OR if it also applies to even its colors (or when you try to make it look like you're wearing a flag?).See...

The Search for the Best Strapless Bra: La Senza!

One my biggest pet peeves (and I'm sure a lot of females also hate this as well) is a bad strapless bra that insists on falling down your chest. Not only do you have to resist the urge to pull it up while in public, you also have to keep checking whether your bra is still in place! Hassle, sobra!Fortunately, I came across an article way back then from Lucy Torres-Gomez who recommended the perfect strapless bra from La Senza. Back then, La Senza was...

Beauty & Minerals' Kabuki Brush + Monave Blush Review

Call me totally out of touch, but as much as a make-up whore as I am, I am still pretty much a newborn to the whole mineral make-up concept. I got curious when I noticed my friend using it on an everyday basis. It got me thinking, is there really a difference? I guess I never bothered with the thought because ordinary make-up doesn't make me break-out nor cause other imperfections. But I think mineral make-up is a godsend for those who do. I finally...

VIVA GLAM-GAGA: There's a New Lipstick in Town!

After hearing news that MAC has apparently tapped Lady GaGa together with pop icon Cyndi Lauper for their AIDS campaign (I'm sure you girls know Viva Glam), I just had to know what color would represent Lady Gaga in their lipstick collection. Wonders will never cease to amaze me, the hue that Lady Gaga is wearing right there is called the Viva Glam Gaga:Defined as a light blue pink, I thought they would give her like an electric shade of red. But...

How to Clean Your Make-Up Brushes (The Cheaper Way!)

I used to not clean my make-up brushes all the time because I hated using up too much of my brush cleaner. I thought it was a waste of money to buy brush cleaners all the time! Pretty nasty, huh? I know! I really want to kick myself whenever I remember this. Not only was it totally unhygienic, it was a stupid reason for not cleaning them.My product of choice then was Elianto's Brush Cleaner, costs a whopping PHP600, which some people might say is...

The Search for Who to Follow Next on Twitter

Admit it, no matter how sosyal you claim to be, when an artista is in the same room as you are you...

Presenting...My Brand New Hair Color!

You probably remember my previous entry which showed this girl: Because I wanted to copy her hair color for the very first time I got it done professionally. I was the first customer for my favorite stylist, Ms. Jinny Kim. I showed her the picture above since it was my desired color. She recommended getting highlights as well to achieve the look. I closed my eyes and took the plunge because I figured, this is the first time I'm doing this and well,...
