Swatchfest: Sleek Makeup i-Divine Au Naturel, Storm and Sunset palettes

One part of being a blogger is sharing swatches with readers. I especially appreciate this from fellow bloggers who preceeded me because I could have that glimpse of what the product could look like first before I actually buy it, which is most applicable to colored products such as eyeshadow, eyeliner, lipstick, lip gloss, etc. Today, I want to dedicate a post to swatches only as I've yet to review these products. I prefer to review them one palette at a time so that will come later. I may be already late to the Sleek Makeup eyeshadow palettes party so to speak but still I wanted to share mine in hopes that there may be others who seek what it will look like on their skintone which could be same to mine. For all of these swatches I didn't use any eyeshadow primer, applied with fingers only and swiped colors twice for shimmery ones & four to five times for matte ones. Let's take a look at some eye candy then!

Hope you liked my swatches! For info, I took these shots with iPhone 4S only at natural day lighting. I liked that the quality is very good. Previously, I would use a digital camera, download pictures to my laptop, crop  (one by one thru resizing manually with a mouse) & watermark (one by one thru typing same text) it then upload to my blog post. Now, I take photo with my phone, watermark (I use the free version of iWatermark app, I create a template watermark and then use it template to apply for each picture with just a simple tap) then upload directly to Blogger app. It's faster because I don't involve anything other than my mobile phone without sacrificing the quality of the photo, I love it!

Have a blessed day everyone!

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

Belo (Acne) Oil Control Kit review

*post changed on 9th January 2012: i've only noticed that i actually wrote "Belo ACNE Control Kit" when i got several comments on this post. it should be "Belo OIL Control Kit". i'm not sure if that stirred some confusion or if there is an acne kit per se but just to clarify, that the set i got is BELO OIL CONTROL KIT. so sorry for the confusion previously! previously, i've shared with you that i've tried Belo Acne  Oil Control Kit when i went for my very first facial and at the well-renowned Belo medical clinic (went at their Greenbelt branch). after finishing the entire line, i'd like to share my thoughts and experience. first, to refresh your memory of what the kit includes: i was advised with the following regimen: Morning: Glycolic Soap 5% Belo Prescriptives Pore Minimizer CHAT 2% Sunblock Gel Evening: Glycolic Soap 5% Belo Prescriptives Pore Minimizer CHAT 2% Daily Peel Solution on the Glycolic Soap: - i've never us
