NYX lippie swatch updates and a GIVEAWAY announcement!

i previously wrote about acquiring the blogger-world-highly-raved-about NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams. i didn't have the time to swatch them at the time so i'm making up for that now.

here are the swatches:


NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in San Paulo


NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Stockholm


NYX Matte Lipstick in Butter


i've also updated that entry in case somebody refers to it later and don't need to jump here just to see the swatch.

loving it? hating it? i've tried using all of them in FOTDs, stay tuned for that!

ALSO, i just reached 10,000 hits last week (yey!) so am planning to have a giveaway. i'm thinking of prizes to give away so stay tuned for that. let me know if you have prizes in mind you'll love to win! good news: it's open internationally! (^_^)

Get ready for the BF!

Yes, it's that day of the year again waited upon by eager shoppers -- Black Friday. I think it's one of the best times of the year to hoard for almost anything and everything, especially if you're based in the US. Why? Across all kinds, brands and range of products and items there are just so much variety to choose from at highly discounted prices. This "shopping holiday" is strategically practiced just a few days shy from the Christmas gift-giving season so shopping for yourself and loved ones (and may be for your enemies too!) just got a lot more convenient, timely and cost-effective. Good news for Singapore-based gals like us, Black Friday has definitely rubbed off on some local companies who's merrily jumping onto the sales bandwagon. Nowadays, this is even sweeter as the deals are not only available at our favorite or popular department stores and boutiques but available dominantly in online shopping! I'm a busy momma -- what with my crazy workload...

i got BELOfied!

i went back to Manila around late second week of July to get my 3rd ESWL . but before that, i went to Belo at The Residences @ Greenbelt with my youngest sister to get a facial and advice on how to improve our skin. i've never had facial EVER before so i didn't know what to expect. when we arrived, the ladies at the reception greeted us promptly and asked our names to know our appointment. the ambiance of the clinic is very serene, inviting and pleasant. immediately after getting in, i inhaled this clean, jasmine(?) aroma - uhm, very soothing. one of the ladies at the reception received us, then ushered us into available seats and shortly thereafter were offered drinks then asked to fill up a form (since it's our first time there). after a little while, we were assisted to our respective treatment rooms for the facial. my facialist that day was Matet. she was pretty (her skin was radiant!), professional and very accomodating with my queries. she also made me feel at...
