NOTW: Neutral and Clean

Haven't posted a Nail Of The Week for such a long time! I have been super lazy into doing my nails these past few days and it's all because of how stressful things are at work. Believe me, I haven't been putting makeup on too. I just go to work with my Sunblock, loose powder and lip balm. Pretty bare, huh? Well I'm kind of used to this kind of look. I always wake up late so no more time to put my makeup on. So, I decided to do something simple to my nails to match my everyday look now.

NOTW: Orange You Glad Today?

It's been a few weeks ago since I last did my nails. I have been busy with work and Sims and work and Sims... LOL. Anyway, here is my new nail color! Last time I blogged about a shopping haul my sis and I made when we met up with some of my blogger friends, Jen (ShopGirlJen.blogspot.com), Kai (KaiSensei.blogspot.com) and Gie (ThirdWorldFashion.wordpress.com). I bought nail polishes from Nature Republic again! So here's one of them.

After Christmas Haul

Yesterday (December 27, 2011) I went to SM North and Trinoma with my younger sister, Czarina (The Black Sheep Project). Her main purpose, actually, was to complete the stickers on her Starbucks card for a planner and, well, I'd be meeting up with some of my blogger friends.

NOTW: Metallic

It has only been a day since I last update this blog but it feels like a long time already. I have pending posts (not required, just stuff I want to share to you guys) so I'm starting of with this. This is my nail of the week and I wore this during the Mario Maurer ENCORE, KYSS Anniversary party and the mini-Christmas Party with some of my officemates.

I adore the Nature Republic Nail Polish because they're very easy to apply, they have wide brushes and the colors I got are awesome; but there's one major problem I've had and that is the nail polish does not last long. Like after three days, they're starting to chip already. Boo! ):

So anyway, just wanna give you guys a quick recap of what has happened to me this week and what has kept me busy. (This will also serve as a reminder of what I should be blogging about next in between my reviews)

First, Monday I was a guest at The Suplado Show! Yey! Will blog about that soon and also made a new friend through it. Tuesday I went to the The Encore by Penshoppe featuring Mario Maurer (kilig!) and then to the KYSS Anniversary party with my Minion friends. Thanks Queen B (@PublicityAsia)! Wednesday, I went out on a mini-Christmas party with some of my officemates; and now it's Thursday. I'd also soon be making a review, also, of the Snoe Gluta Powder Mask. I love its effect and it has really lighten my skin. Nope, it did not make my face ultra white cos it would look weird but it made my skin lighter in a natural way.

Anyway, that's it for now. Will post a blog entry again tomorrow. Surprise if it's a makeup review or one of the events I attended. Hope you're all doing great. How was your week? Do tell me all about it at the comments section below! Love y'all! :)

NOTW: Garden Chic

I was invited by Snoe Beauty for their Blogger Party which happened awhile ago and the theme of the party is Tea Time and we were requested to be in our garden chic attire. You can expect most of us wearing floral. Haha! Anyway, aside from the Snoe Beauty Blogger Party, I also attended the Bloggers United Part 2 and it was so tiring so I'm kind of looking exhausted already when I arrived at the Snoe Beauty Party; but nevertheless, it's the presence that counts more, right? 

So, I tried my best to give my nails a garden chic nail art feel. No, I did not drew flowers because that is so expected, right? So, I just used the colors which would be perfect for the theme. Products Used: Nature Republic Nail Polish GR601 (Green Frosted Shade) |  Nature Republic BR901 (Brown Frosted Shade) | Two-Way Nail Art Pen in White  | Caronia  Nail Hardener & Base Coat | Caronia Kwik-Dry.

What I did first is apply the Nail Hardener & Base Coat. I let it dry for a couple of minutes then applied two coats of the brown frosted shade nail polish then used the green frosted shade as tips. On the tips, I used the dotting part of the two-way nail art pen to put white dots on it. After letting it dry a bit for a couple of minutes, I applied the Kwik-Dry to have it dry even faster.

The brown and green are kind of like how your garden looks like so I figured why not use those colors, right? And the white dots are the accents since they kind of look dull alone. What do you think of the nail art look? Have you used a Nature Republic nail polish before? Thoughts?

I'm posting Snoe Beauty Products soon and about the party and also my haul at the Bloggers United event. Till next post! :)

Breaking Dawn and a Mini-Haul

Hello everyone! This is not a review post but more of how was my day. I feel like talking about how my day was so forgive my being self-centered for awhile, please? Anyway, after work, I went to SM North The Block with a friend to watch Breaking Dawn. My friends know I am not a Twilight fan but I just wanted to watch this movie because my sister (not a Twilight fan either) have seen the movie and actually liked it. So why not give it a try.

I actually enjoyed the movie and every bit was exciting because I never read the book. I am not into shiny vampires and all. I am more of a Game Of Thrones kind of girl. I loved the transition of Bella from being this healthy emo-looking girl to this dying and superbly anorexic almost-vampire chic.Great job on the effects and makeup. Hands down.

After watching the movie, I happened to pass-by this Korean cosmetics shop, Nature Republic. The first thing I noticed from their shop are their nail polishes. Not because they're such head turners but because I need a new nail color in my collection. So I went in and purchased three of 'em. Each costs P65.00 only and you get a free pouch when you buy three.

Oh, I forgot, at the office I bought almost P700 worth of Island Basics products. One of which is this Lavender & Tea Tree Makeup Remover. I would be posting the review by tomorrow, perhaps. This specific product costs P90.00, I think. The other stuff I got are still at the office. They are gifts for some of my loved-ones so I cannot really show 'em off right now.


I pretty much had an awesome day. Forgot to pay the bills so Imma go pay 'em tomorrow and need to deposit some cash on my G-Cash for my Belle de Jour planner. I guess that's it for now. So, how was your Tuesday? Tell me all about it at the comments section below.
