A legend is not just found in novels and in explicit literature. An icon is not just seen in the movies or in museums. Everybody can create their own legends and stand up to be icons of every generation. ...
From Laura Mercier's Holiday 2012 Art Deco Muse Collection, Noir Glace nail polish is an intense deep warm cocoa brown that almost looks like black in some lighting. ...
Purple is my favorite color. So it's already innate in me to lean towards this hue in almost every department; - make up, fashion and nail polish! This is the reason being why I added Play Date on my Zalora cart without even googling how it actually looks on the nails. The fact that it's a purple polish sealed the deal with me....

On December 12, 2012, leading one-stop shopping sites Zalora and Lazada are...

Hi dolls! I hope y'all are having a wonderful day. Unfortunately, I'm still a bit under the weather. Being sick sucks that's why I'm praying hard for my new found buddies Paracetamol and Cefuroxime to work their magic on me asap. Believe me, this day could easily ended as one long and boring day if not for this black Zalora box that arrived...

It's already the month of December; - aka the most wonderful time of the year! This means that it's time to be festive and to wear something sparkly!

Gotta need to pamper yourself once in a while, right? First, say hello to my new blogging buddy; - Nikon D3100 DSLR Camera (Php26,995). I contemplated on getting a DSLR for the longest...
I don't aspire to be super famous nor to be hailed by many. It's not my ultimate wish and definitely not the supreme purpose of my life. It's not the spotlight that makes me feel alive. Rather, its being able to help save lives that makes me feel good inside.. makes me feel legendary. ...

Uniqlo recently opened its second branch in the country at SM North EDSA The Block. Hooray because it's closer to my place compared to the one at SM Mall of Asia. I went to look for good finds, and little did I know that I would come home with a bunch of stuff. :) ...
Mac recently released their Glamour Daze Holiday Collection 2012 at Rustan's Makati and since it has been ages ago (I think) since I last purchased something limited from Mac, I decided to take a quick peek. After swatching a handful of colors on my hand, I made a decision. Say hello to the newest addition to my lipstick collection; - Mac Outrageously Fun...
Matte lipsticks can be a pain to wear. Sure, they saturate the lips with impeccable color pay off while boosting your self confidence to the nth power in a swipe. But let them sit for a little while on your lips and they will suck all the life of your puckers up; -leaving them miserably hurt, dry and cracked afterwards. This is the...
It has been ages ago since my last Louis Vuitton purse purchase. On that note, I decided to splurge a little and reward myself with a new Louis Vuitton bag. I was actually contemplating on getting mine in Hong Kong since I'll be going there with my mom this coming mid-January. But after summing the (little) price difference + bulkiness + (possible) customs...

Oh yes, it's the Nail...
Benetton definitely did another fantastic job with the launch of their newest scents; - Let's Move for men and Let's Love for women. Aside from making everyone groove to Zumba and Shiba (thanks to Studio 116 Dance School), we were also able to sniff into the refreshing notes that these newest scents carry. ...
People always say that I look younger than my real age (I'm already 29 yrs old, btw). Well, I thank my innate genes, my happy attitude and my healthy lifestyle for that. But then again, in this world where stress is everywhere, a little help from a pump bottle of luxurious anti-ageing serum wouldn't hurt as well in keeping those ugly wrinkles at bay....

There is nothing that makes me feel more alive than seeing a new make up collection unfold right in front of my eyes. Add a theme party, a couple of cocktails and throw one of the best make up artist in the industry, and I'm sure you'll catch me breathless. Well, Laura Mercier definitely made me catch my breath in excitement weeks ago...
Learning how to do my own make up is a decision that I will never regret. Gathering all the basic things that I needed (make up and brushes) may be a bit tedious (and costly) at first, but believe me, it's worth the investment! Saying good bye to shedding out cash for make up appointments at salons is a HUGE relief. Well, if...
The time to announce the lucky girl who won the whooping Php1000 gift certificate from Asianvogue Shop is finally here! Scroll below to find out if that lucky gal is you! ...
There is nothing that makes my heart bleed the most than spending a fortune on something, and then ending up not loving it. So I always opt to try samples before jumping over beauty products that come with hefty price tags. That's why I always envy those US-based girls who are subscribed to sites that deliver luxe beauty samples monthly at reasonable prices....
I have an intense gastronomic love affair with any dish involving chicken. Fry it or sauce it up, and you won't hear me (and my stomach) complaining. That's why when I got invited weeks ago to try a breakthrough chicken masterpiece, aka the country's first-ever "Baked Fried Chicken," it tickled my fancy (and taste buds!). ...
...
Yes, I did it again! Forgive me for being weak, but I just couldn't resist ordering a few more Orly polishes from one of my favorite online shops, Zalora. You see, it's really not my habit purchasing polishes online because the thought of receiving them either broken into pieces or splattered all over the place makes me uncomfortable. ...
Bobbi Brown Cosmetics is known for delivering that no-make-up look that women across the globe crave for. That's why I feel that the people behind this ethereal brand did a good job when they chose the every pretty, Katie Holmes to represent the brand. ...

Long lectures, excruciating exams, endless research, and non-stop visits to the library; - these are some of the things that come to my mind every time I remember my college years. Whoa, those were the days! Thank goodness for my undying patience, awesome support system and ever-reliable Google for helping me make it through that phase! And now, there is one amazing college...
The fact that we don't have fall in the country doesn't mean that we cannot (and shouldn't) incorporate the season's theme to our wardrobe. We may not need to stock up on fur and hoard knee-high leather boots, but we can inject the season's cool hues and texture in our closet.. and especially in our shoe racks! And on that note, let me...
Happy Tuesday everyone! As always, let me start by saying a huge thank you to everyone who joined my Snoe Beauty giveaway.

I don't normally gravitate towards loose shadows because they can be a bit hard to work with. So despite how gorgeous the shade is, if it's in the "pigment" form, I totally lose my excitement. So imagine how happy I was when big brands like Guerlain and Urban Decay started introducing the no-spill tubes for loose pigments. Haven't seen one before? Then, let...
SM Kid’s Warehouse Sale: Fashion at Discount! Yup, you read that right! The country’s leading department store will be holding a Kids’ Warehouse Sale and I'm sure if would worthwhile! ...
Ever since I moved miles away from Rustan's Shangri La (I miss our just walking-distance relationship before), I always feel the urge to buy something from the store despite constantly reminding myself that I will just window-shop. And indeed, I went home with a few bags the last time I was there. Although, I will say that I did a good job not purchasing...
Oh yeah, it's Clinique Bonus Time! No doubt, this is the best time to shop (or even hoard) for our favorite Clinique products. ...
