Tonight, I was able to read something interesting in my inbox, and it was celebrity stylist Britt Bardo, (whose clients include Jessica Simpson, Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Lopez and Eva Mendez) is giving away secret styling tips to us, and I just never realized that teeth whitening is actually a styling option!

Well, makes sense because the smile is considered one’s secret weapon, and I wholeheartedly agree! I’ve been considering that option for the longest time, but I just don’t know where to start. I’ve been obsessed about my hair, my face, but I’ve never really gotten to get past all of those problems ( especially my skin ) to get into teeth whitening. Britt Bardo is recommending Aqua Fresh White Trays Revive, that promises whiter teeth in two days. Hmm, that’s quite a challenge that I might be able to take up on!

Anyway, here are Britt Bardo’s styling tips for everyone!

It was a different experience for me last weekend, for instead of going out with my girlfriends, grabbing dinner or watching a movie, I attended an event for Beautynomics. Of course, how could I pass up when the Belo Medical Group asks you to attend their event? In half a heartbeat, it was a yes!

There’s too much to tell because I believe I had a total blast during this event, but let me break this down :

Sorry for the temporary hiatus, ladies, my server’s memory has gone full and I had it fixed by my host. Okay, back to beauty blogging!

I’ve put up a temporary site for my makeup works, and I’m slowly building my portfolio. I hope you’d add me up at Multiply! Yesterday, I did makeup for my sister’s photoshoot, and here are some photos :

As early as now, my mindset is that Santa is indeed alive, well, and real. As long as he brings my Christmas presents! And wait, can Christmas come early? Mega mega please? hahaha!

Kidding aside, I am feverishly lemming for these babies from Stila. Stila has the best trios on earth, and my contouring set is just plain love that I seriously want more.

Well, here goes!

Totally. I’m obsessed with grays now and I want them ASAP ! It’s a bit challenging to blend them, though.

I am going to confess about my naivete with pencil eyeliners in this entry.

Way back, I preferred liquid eyeliners. My preferred liquid eyeliner was mineral eyeliner ( in whatever color I fancy ), plus a drop of Bare Escentuals Weather Everything Liner Sealer. Twas perfect. Did not budge a bit. Even when I swim, it stays on my lids, and it only comes off when I use facial wash on my face!

Then came makeup school. It’s actually the first time that I’ve learned that you apply eyeliner at the inner rims of your eyes! So there, the idea that pencil eyeliners are needed came to mind because it is just a bit disturbing to imagine liquid eyeliner or something too darn permanent and drying to applied on the inner rims! haha! With my very very oily lids, and face, for that matter, I immediately asked for the most waterproof and smudge-proof eyeliners : I got both MAC Powerpoint and Artdeco Waterproof Pencil Eyeliner. I’ve different thoughts about the two, so here goes : Continue reading

The commercial itself is controversial already. Eva Mendes flashing apparently “too much skin”? ( Read article here )

I don’t think I was ever turned off by any Calvin Klein fragrance. I think I love every single release they had, and what’s good is that they don’t release new things quickly!

The description of the new scent is,

sultry • addictive • exotic

Secret Obsession is an intoxicating floral oriental fragrance weaving together forbidden fruits, exotic flowers and a sultry wood signature for a provocative and addictive sexiness.

I’m actually sold. Hahaha! I love how it sounds and I’m hoping there’s no freesia there!

I’m definitely on the lookout for Calvin Klein Secret Obsession. It isn’t going to be launched until fall, but Macy’s is holding a preorder right now. Any takers?

A week ago, I received an offer from someone to guest blog for Beautynomics , and boy, it wasn’t a girl. It was a boy! ( that sounded so darn redundant, but sadly, that’s how my crazy mind works lately. hahaha! ) . Well, based on my psychoanalysis ( puts on her glasses ), this guy is sooo subconsciously wanting to grab a tube, or a pot of body exfoliator! and moreso, even something for the face! Say, facial wash, facial scrub, and shaving gel? ( Okay, I’m not pushing my luck! )

Read on, and tell me what you think!

But on a long-ago trip to Puerto Galera, I discovered a cheap and easy way to have your back exfoliated. You see, the popular Filipino tourist destination known for its sulit offerings for beach goers features “freelance” massueses who give full-body massages for as low as 250 bucks ( around $ 4-5 usd ).

Believe me when I say that MAC Cosmetics’ Cult of Cherry is THE collection to anticipate for, and I recommend all girls to stop thinking when this arrives to our shores and just get them.

My must-have pics for the collection are three.
