Capping off this week with a lip balm post because in 2013, I was all about the Maybelline Baby Lips (review here). But no more. No more. Its reign on my lips has ended ever since I discovered this new product. If you read a few posts back, you'll see that I've been naughty by sneaking in a mini Digital Traincase shopping trip last year - post here ( Read more... )

If you're from the Philippines and you're a makeup addict like me, then you've probably heard of Digital Traincase - link here. Digital Traincase is one of most successful (and reliable) online sellers here in Manila. I think they're the first ones to bring US brands in our shores. They're so successful that they already have an actual physical ( Read more... )

Christmas and New Year are over but that doesn't mean we can't wear glitter nail polish anymore! I still have holiday hangover so I can't quite let go of glitter nail polishes yet. But since I have to go to work again, I decided to pair it with a more office approriate shade. Good thing I got just the color in my last December Ipsy bag - reviewed ( Read more... )

It's my last Ipsy Glambag for 2013! The theme for December 2013 is Celebrate which I think is pretty perfect for this time of the year. I have already posted a preview of what's inside my bag - view it here - so I already know what I'm getting. I just realized today that the only thing missing from my Ipsy bag is a base product and I can do a full ( Read more... )

Maybe I should make this a weekly thing since I only get to do full makeup on weekends when I'm not rushing and pressed for time? Let me know if this is something you'd like me to do. But for last week, here are the products that I used to do my FOTD. I didn't have an event, just a regular weekend date with the husband (which means movie, dinner ( Read more... )

This week I had to wake up super early to get to the office on time. And since I love to sleep more than makeup (it's true, I'm a sleep monster), I always forego doing my makeup so that I'll get more time in bed. That means I have to bring my makeup to the office and do my makeup there. I've also been using the Ipsy October bag as my makeup bag so ( Read more... )

I've only started wearing lipgloss this year so I'm still getting the hang of having shiny, glossy lips. The recent addition to my small collection is the NYX Butter Gloss in Maple Blondie. I read in some reviews that this is supposed to be a good dupe for the Clarins lip perfectors which I've swatched a couple of times but never got to actually ( Read more... )

Whenever I do my eye makeup, I always, always line my upper lash line before applying my mascara. I never skip this step because I think it makes my eyes look bigger and more awake. I have phases when it comes to liners. There was a time when all I used are felt-tip liners, then gel liners and now I'm into soft kohl pencils. I have always used ( Read more... )

If you're from Manila, I know what you're thinking. NYX has been available through different online sellers for a long time. What I just mean is that it's now officially in the country through SM. NYX is an all around good drugstore brand that offers wide selection of products at such an affordable price. I love the brand so much that I went ( Read more... )

I've been Ipsified! I've been Instagramming (@shevacarbonell) and tweeting (@berrymix) about my first Ipsy Bag because I'm super, super excited about it. The Beauty Bag subscription is taking over the beauty world and of course I had to get in on it! I chose Ipsy because it's cheap (haha!) and there are a lot of good reviews about it. Most people ( Read more... )
