An Award Worth Keeping

Thanks to Lily and Nabi for the wonderful award!

I felt so blessed to have lovely readers like you guys who took the time to read my post everyday. I started blogging with one thought in mind, just to put out reviews and stuffs I've found that would be useful for readers out there. But I was surprised to make lot of new friends from different parts of the world! Friends who, of course would accept the crazy me for who I am.

Now it is my turn to award to 7 bloggers I think are worth sending the award to. I want to send to everyone whom I visit the blog daily, but this is a rule --- 7 is 7! So here we go!!! (by the way, if I've seen your name nominated in other blog, I didn't nominated you again as that's repetitive)

My 7 Capital Sin (alphabetical order)---

2. eBeautyBlog
Another beautiful blogger who has the face that can launch a thousand airplanes! LOL. I love how she does her hair and I love her face photos...so pretty!!! Though I fought with her with my comments..she knew I love her for doing that! :P

3. Glitz & Glamour
If you feel bad about your purchases, take a look at Gracie's blog and you would know whatever you bought is nothing compared to her! :) The lovely licensed nurse who just graduated recently is one hell of a woman wrapped in ONE body! She never seizes to amaze me, she's got a whole lot of great personality and I would love to meet her someday!

4. Moi Hearts Makeup
A true Pinay MAC Addict (plus all the others out there, you know who you are). She is a loving wife and mom who knows how to take care of herself. Talk about someone who knows how to balance her life!! She's a person who stays true to herself and wouldn't be afraid to show her true self through her blogs. I admire her for being a real person!

5. My Addictions
A real photogenic who looks great in any angle on any photo!!! She's a real woman as she is. Someone who ain't scared to try on something new. Someone who knows what in life will make her happy and go for it!!! I am proud of her when she finished her Make-up class and now she's going further into hairstyling! That is an epitome of a MODERN woman!!!

6. Kikay Pinay
The Elle of the Philippines. She's not legally blond but she's definitely LEGALLY Smart and pretty! Very friendly and outgoing just reading her posts would make you "part" of her everyday life!!! I am wishing her goodluck on her upcoming bar exam!!!

7. My Women Stuff
ParisB, the writer of this blog, stays true to herself and her readers. When you are looking for a product review that doesn't sugarcoat her answers? She's the one!! You get real...true reviews and ideas and you can't help but admire her for her friendly attitude. I would love to meet her someday when I visit Malaysia too!!! (ok Paris?)

I know 7 was up! But SAB, I saw your name nominated from Nabi's blog, but I just want to send a special award to you...for making my day great! For making me go through the MONDAYS that I hate so much and for sharing a cup of coffee with me in cyberspace. And of course! For being equally as happy as I am during Fridays!!! I hope to see you too!!!!!

I want to send a separate post for this special lady But I thought of adding her here instead. To LizLin of This & That, she is my first ever commenter when I started to blog and she really took the time and effort to read all my nonsense talk from day one. Liz, though you're far away, I want to send you my gratitude for trusting me with my writings. *hugs*

Tip for the Day: Changing Your Lippie Color ASAP

This will be part 2 (lazy edition) of creating your own lipstick shade.
There will always be days where I would be in total hurry and I wouldn't have the time to mix.
Here's the short cut version on creating a different lippy color without the hassle!
This is how I did my lip color in my "Sky and the Rose" Look.

Step 1: Of course you'll need a dark colored lipstick
(I chose red in this photo)



Step 2: Dot your lips with a liquid concealer

Step 3: Rub the liquid concealer with your finger
Making sure to cover all areas

Final Step: Just SMILE and enjoy the new lip color!
(Note: If you want to create a nude look,
add more liquid concealer and repeat all steps above)

If you are wondering what Liquid Concealer I've used.
It's my ELF Tone Correcting Concealer
You can read my previous review here
I kinda snobbed this when I got my NYX Concealer in a JAR :(
I don't want him to feel bad, so I've used him on my lips instead
(at least he's kissing me lol)

I will be dozing off like a pig as it's Saturday my side of the world!!!
Smile and be happy today!
As you can always change your lip color in a flash!

Thanks to the Beauty Bento Box

I Love Bling Blings!

People who knew me knows I am always on a lookout for wonderful yet affordable ANYTHING!
No matter how much I love to prettify the world ("world" meaning myself) LOL
I wouldn't spend a lot just for myself!

I started a relationship with "bling bling" hair accesories 4years ago.
I was in China and "bling bling" pieces are quite cheap in China.
But of course, I can't afford to buy a roundtrip ticket to China just to save up for hair accessories right? <--- I have thought about this idea though

Hubby wasn't able to pick me up on time last night, what a girl to do???
NOT SHOP you silly!
Window shop! :P

Everyone who knows how to window shop knows how to shop!
But your "crazy" askmewhats know when and where to spend my moolah!
And I only spend ..when I see a big sign from above...
A big sign that says...

R- original Price Php200.00 (approx $4.50) NOW Php100.00 ($2.25)

It doesn't look so cute when it's just laying there flat on the carton right?
What's my head and hair for?
Of course! To model for you reader!

I don't know about you,
but i'm starting to love my head !
I think they look lovely and worth the "attention"
Agree? Disagree?

Before anyone gives out violent reactions,
I just wanted to share that these 2 aren't much!
But I don't mind, a simple buy like these makes me happy :)
It is a reward for myself on a hardworking day!
Go ahead, reward yourself! You deserve it!

Tip of the day: *Blushed*

There will always be times where you'll be in a hurry to do your eye make-up.
But you still wanted to look fresh and ready to face the world.
One secret for me? Is to put on blushes!
Different blush placements will have different effects.
Here's the best way I've done to illustrate some ways to apply your blush!

For Softening Effect
(for oval face, young individuals who doesn't need much make-up)

How: Place blush on the apples of the cheeks.
Effect: To accentuate a fresh looking face

For Slimming Effect
(for round faces)

How: Placing the blush vertically in a narrow line down the center of each cheek
Effect: Will make your face looks slimmer

For Lifting Effect
(anyone who wants to accentuate good cheekbones, give the impression of having them, or to just give the face a lift!)

How: Apply blush high on the cheekbone near the eyes.
Effect: *whistles* Sexy cheekbones baby!




For Widening Effect
(for long narrow face)

How: do all the blush placements more horizontally
Effect: Reduced face length

For Sharpening Effect
(for round faces, or anyone who wants a sharp appearance)

How: Do not apply too low. Apply just on the underside of the bone.
Effect: When blended, this blush placement create a very sharp sophisticated look

Are you a blush addict?
I am starting to be...
Are you into pinks? peaches? browns? or bronzed look?
