Happy New Year everyone! 2013 was a good year for me but I have high hopes that 2014 will be even better! Before moving on with the new year, I thought I'd do a list of top products that I used the past year. I only started blogging about beauty mid-year but I have loved beauty and makeup way way before that. So this list includes all the products ( Read more... )

Confession: I would much rather wear eyeliner on my upper lash line than on my waterline. I won't tear up like I used to but I just don't like the feeling when I apply it there. I feel like I'm being tickled and tortured at the same time. I don't remember when I started wearing eyeliners. I remember though when I was a kid and I had to wear makeup ( Read more... )

Who doesn't like to have long, fluttery eyelashes? There are a lot of you out there who are probably related to Mr Snuffleupagus and are born with long lashes. Unfortunately for me, I have to rely on products to get length and volume on my barely there lashes. After my post yesterday, you probably see a theme here. I am seriously short on the ( Read more... )

I'm new to the world of concealers. The only concealer I've tried are the Muji concealer and The Body Shop Tea tree concealer. So whenever I read good reviews about concealers, I take note of them. One brand that recently arrived in our shores is Collection Cosmetics. The Collection Lasting Perfection Ultimate Wear Concealer is one of the most ( Read more... )

I cannot believe I was able to stick to a theme this month! Over twenty posts all about lip products! I got to revisit a lot of products that I haven't used in a while which was also good. I have a lot of tubes to finish up. Haha

Here's a little roundup of my lipstick month posts in case you missed them:

Week 1 was luxe week

This weekend haul is probably no surprise to you if we're friends on Instagram (@shevacarbonell) or if you read this post. My officemate Addie went on a business trip to the UK and agreed to do a little bit of Boot shopping for me. I gave her a loong list of products to buy. Unfortunately, some of them were not available in the Boots near the ( Read more... )

Lipstick/gloss/stain/pencil month is here! A while back, I declared July as the month dedicated for all my lip products. And I have a lot to write about. Lip products are very easy to wear, I think. It also doesn't take any special skill to apply (unlike contouring which I still haven't learned to do). You can try a lot of colors and variety. You ( Read more... )

If we're friends on Twitter, you probably know that I got a facial yesterday. It's notable because I haven't gotten one in six months. I was a good girl last year as I literally go for a facial every month. But that was probably because I wanted to have good skin on my wedding day which was in December. So I was motivated  by that.

This year, life ( Read more... )
