July Favorites

I have been pretty much away from the blog these past days, mostly because of technical issues and my eyes weren't in their best condition to say the least since I had LASIK last June. And a whole lot of personal issues that have just come crashing down during the course of the month.  But here's the favorite lot this past July.

Zoeva Cocoa Blend Palette

I must say that I am all too easily influenced by YouTube Beauty gurus, and for a good while now, I’ve been hearing raves about this certain palette. Though not something that gave great clamor in the beauty community, it was apparently a sleeper hit.

It's been a month since I underwent LASIK and I have been forbidden to wear any eye makeup whatsoever, but luckily I have a few photos of me rocking a few shades on my eyes a while back.

Price: P1106

Description:

The ZOEVA Cocoa Blend Palette features a set of 10 warm chocolate shades you can blend to achieve alluring or sultry eye makeup. Each hue delivers a gorgeous shimmery pigment to the eyes, bringing them glamour and elegance.

Makeup Melange #10 Testing New things

I believe it's been quite a while since I last put up a Makeup Melange. Nearly two months actually. And truth be told I also just haven't been wearing makeup as much lately. So in short nothing really interesting to put up until today. Since I am officially allowed to put eye makeup on again, I have just been itching to reach out to an eyeshadow palette and eyeliner. 

Max Factor Creme Puff Blush in Nude Mauve, Lavish Mauve and Seductive Rose

The world has been over the moon for the Hourglass Ambient lighting blush. But I just can't seem drop the cash on them yet. So I've settled for something that is less than half the price and available at my local drugstore. And I believe that they are the best drugstore blushers out there. And I say that with conviction.

Carrot Health Soap

So if you've been tuning in to any remnant of this blog, I caught the chicken pox on the first week of May. And as chickenpox entails, It left with it a few unsightly spots on my body. So enter this soap I which has been generously sent to me from an Instagram seller, @katrinasclothing.

Additions to the Arsenal #4: A few bits from Manila

Hello there. Back from a bit of a blogging break since my eyes are still in the healing process from my LASIK procedure last week which meant a trip to the capital city, Manila. If there's one thing I like about Manila, it's the shopping basically. I love the vast selections of shops and restaurants so that also means I wasn't going to leave without a few little purchases here and there. And just brands that I don't come across in Davao.

Be prepared for how skin care centric this has become though.

Travel Skincare (5 Day Trip)

Can you believe I'm writing this at such a last moment? Literally minutes before I'm hailing a cab and heading over to the airport. Not sure about any internet connection where we're staying and honestly I much prefer writing blog posts on the desktop, so this all called for a very last minute post.
