PLDT myDSL has been my internet provider ever since I could remember having my own laptop. I spend numerous hours each day surfing the internet, downloading and watching videos and PLDT myDSL never failed me. It has been my constant companion as I bloom from a regular blogger to a Nuffnanger. Through their reliable service, I was able to keep to date with the latest happenings from my Nuffnang family. I remember friends bashing other internet providers because of poor and slow connections, - something that I never experienced with PLDT myDSL. And now, with PLDT myDSL Internet To Sawa, I am sure that I will get even much better and faster speeds and unbeatable service! 

Until then.

Peace and Love!

Nivea is a brand that I love to bits. I use a variety of their line; - from skin care to lip balms. So guess how I reacted when I saw their package for me? Yep, I jumped with joy!


But the fun stuff doesn't end from that. Nivea goes organic and natural with their new line, Pure & Natural which promises to make the power of natural ingredients truly work for our skin. 



NIVEA Pure & Natural products use gentle and pure ingredients that respect your skin's nature so you don't have to worry about sensitivity problems and irritations that are known to be associated with some artificial and chemical ingredients. And on that note, this range is suitable for all skin types even to extra sensitive skin like mine. 


Inspired by nature, NIVEA Pure & Natural products draw 100 years of skin care expertise and commitment to the highest quality standard. This means that the Nivea Pure & Natural range offers a pleasant and affordable way of looking after ourselves naturally while doing our bit for the environment, while enjoying the highly effective care we all expect from Nivea.

Gorgeous intense colors, right? Besides their lovely shade collection (and gorgeous packaging), I particularly like how incredibly soft, creamy and moisturizing these lipsticks are. Also, the colors are rich, highly buildable and very comfortable to wear. I have Pink Lolita on the whole time (while I was  malling around with Alice), and I almost forgot that I was wearing one. So if you hate the tackiness that some lipsticks bring, make sure to try these on and I'm sure you will understand what I am talking about. The only downside for me was the scent. These lipsticks have this strong raspberry scent that I am not a big fan of. But other than that, these lipsticks are genuinely fantastic! 


By the way, the Make Up associate of Estee Lauder gave us some freebies!

Until then.

Here are some addition to my make up stash's growing MAC family! Enjoy!

Mac Alpha Girl Beauty Powder (from The Fashion Flower Collection, which unfortunately will not be released here in the Philippines according to my local Mac MUA).

I did some shopping over the past few weeks and here are some of the beauty related things that I got. 

From NARS Shangri La:  Make Up Your Mind: Express Yourself Lips Set (contains Roman Holiday lipstick, Dolce Vita Velvet Matte Lip Pencil, Bangkok Pure Matte Lipstick, Orgasm Lip Gloss)

Mark your calendars now! Italianni's definitely made me look forward for Wednesdays and Thursdays! (I'll eat my dinner their later!)

Until then.

Velours d'Or (Holiday 2010 Collection) was the answer to my long search for a kick-ass smokey purple quad. Yep, this is another episode of me "falling-in-love-at-first-sight" with an inanimate object. Don't judge me. I can't help it! The luxurious gold packaging, the intricate honeycomb pattern and the lovely shades definitely caught my attention.


Here are some photos:






It is a beautiful quad that contains a shimmery soft gold, a darkened plum with tiny blue shimmers, a duochrome mauvey taupe with violet shimmers and a matte black with duochrome sheen. There was a bit of fall out with the soft metallic gold shade (and it is a quite sheer) but the other three shades were soft, pigmented and very easy to apply. Over all, these shadows blend effortlessly and compliment each other perfectly for that stunning smokey plum look!
