It was a "touching" Surprise!

I woke up at 5:45am, sleepy, hoping it's Friday on my side of the earth.
I knew it wasn't ...so I literally dragged myself to take a shower.
Left home at 7am arrived at the office at 8am. (because there's not much traffic today)
Work starts at 8:30am, what do I do?
Go to my site and read what's on my blogroll <--- yes, every single day as you guys are my strength, you guys kept me sane..or insane? lol

I got a lovely surprise when I clicked on Kikay Exchange
Jillsab of KE left me a comment asking me if she can cross post my review on the MAC lipliner
I told her "yes of course!"
But I didn't expect it to happen so soon..
and I didn't expect it to make me feel so giddy....and proud!

After I came back to reality and realized
I am still a mortal .....

I continued reading what's on my blogroll again.
When I clicked on Paint Me Gorgeous
I literally jumped back a bit, stared at the computer
and told myself "Who the hell is that girl? She looks Familiar!"
I stared at it again, and read the photo writings...
DEFINITELY...it is mine!
I read it at once and I just can't believe that the "gorgeouses" thought so nicely of me!
Though it still made me cringed a bit to see such big photo of myself in another person's blog
I am honestly touched!

To these 2 wonderful sites, Kikay Exchange and Paint Me Gorgeous.
I can't say thank you enough from the bottom of my heart for such sweet gesture.
I honestly felt I've won an Oscar
thank you for giving me the inspiration to keep on blogging
no matter how sleepy I am every time I go home,
I would always be energized to prepare for my posts for the next day!

Thank you!

Sorry, that's all the "thank yous" that I know of! :D

Askmewhats Reviews: PAC E/S

PAC Cosmetics (Professional Artist Cosmetics)

Everytime I go the mall to swatch this, I always thought this is a good quality local brand. I was wrong. I learned from the SA that PAC is French brand manufactured in Indonesia. (correct me if I am wrong please) I haven't heard much about Indonesian cosmetics so even if I liked the pigmentation, I let it go and went home and do my own research about this product first. I want to check out reviews on the quality, of course, I don't see much but their WEBSITE (Really wonderful website but not in English)

When I went to the mall again, a force pulled me towards a lovely bluish green colored single e/s. The pearly color was named PO1, I swatched it on my hand, I applied it on my lids, I fell in love! I bought the refill as I have a palette in mind that I can home this to!

Here's how the refill looks like

** for Php299.00 (approx $6.50)

See just how beautiful this color is?

Swatched ONCE, without base

The good thing? It fits my palette! 6 more to go! it is beside my ULTA e/s hauls :D

Let's go to the real deal...the review.

PAC Cosmetics Says ---

Eyeshadow padat dalam 2 jenis formula :
Pearly Eyeshadow yang memberi hasil akhir berkilau dan Matte Eyeshadow dengan hasil tanpa kilap. Dengan formula waterproof untuk hasil yang tahan lama.

--- Do you understand? I don't! ! But thanks to the lovely Inan from Shizzinizzle for translating this for me!

Pressed Eyeshadow has 2 Formulas:
Pearly Eyeshadow gives shimmery finish dan Matte Eyeshadow with the matte finish. With waterproof formula for a long-lasting power.

Askmewhats says ---

Pros

• Affordable
  
• They have refills!!!
• Very pigmented
• Stays the whole day, no creasing (well I've only tested to myself).
• Size is bigger than MAC refills
  

Cons

• few color choices (a lot of colors on the website are not available here in our country.
• not all the colors have their equivalent refills as seen in their site
  

Tip

• if you are using the pearly eyeshadow, it looks great when applied with your fingers or a brush that has "packed" bristles
• wear this alone! Vavavoom look in an instant!
  

Will I repurchase?

Yes!!! This color that I bought is as good as Make-up Forever (MUFE). But of course, this is just one color that I've tried, I haven't tested on the other colors yet.

Overall?

One e/s has changed my mind. Good quality make-up doesn't really have to be super expensive. Because of this single product that I bought from them, I am very interested to try on the quality of their other product lines.


I will try to create a look with this e/s soon!
How'd you like the color?
Too wild for you?

"My Cherry Amour" Nails

Good day everyone!!! I had my nails done again the weekend.

Have you encountered days that you wanted to be really creative but you just can't squeeze your mind on anything new? It happened to me, I am one of the most creative person you may find but I had my short portion of "Brain drained" when I was asked what nail design I would like to have (Gosh, such big problems huh? You thought I was referring to a life long decision? nah..that's me, I stress on the smallest detail lol)

What a girl to do to be creative? Look around...and anything that we can see can be inspiring! And when I say everywhere, I mean it! I promise, this may sound superficial, but this doesn't only have to do with nails or beauty. Anytime you need inspiration, just LOOK AROUND. You will definitely get answers!

In my case, I am a superficial whore that day, I looked around, and my eyes fell on my pajama! It was a green "cherry designed" pajama pants. EUREKA!

I swear, they are cherries! hahaha I should have taken a shot upside down as this photo looks like flowers! <-- Talking to myself (sorry)

Sorry Kitty lovers, I didn't mean to step on Hello Kitty's face :( I just wanted to show a lovely face so you guys won't get distracted by my feet! LOL

Just a little update, I am starting to do nail art for my mom, and she's loving it!!! The first time I've done it, I was expecting it to come out really gross and ugly! I was honestly surprised and happy with the outcome, so surprised I forgot to take a photo of it! If I'm ready, I'll definitely show it to you guys!

Life is full of love, happiness and inspiration
make everyday.. a Cherry-ful day!
