Beauty Matters: MAC x Archie's Girls

Whether your day has been bad or you're feeling down, nothing picks us girls up better than: 

1. Receiving packages
2. Shopping
3. Makeup

I was so happy that my MAC x Archie's Girls arrived today! I have been an avid fan of Archie Comics ever since I was 6 years old! I remember going to the comic book store with my grandpa every single week, taking my sweet time looking at the titles and then returning home with a new comic book in hand. Ahhh. Those were the days! :) 






 When I saw the brush set and case that went with it, I knew I just had to have it! I'm not really a fan of buying expensive brushes (which cost more than P1,600 per brush) because I'm pretty sure there are a lot of cheaper ones with the same quality.



When I saw the lipsticks I had a really hard time choosing which shades I should get. I thought about it a lot, checking the swatches and seeing which ones would be best. In the end I decided to get all of them!!

Veronica Lipsticks: Ronnie Red, Boyfriend Stealer, Daddy's Little Girl

Betty lipsticks: Betty Bright, Oh Oh Oh, Girl Next Door

I'm so excited to use them! Which ones are your favorite?:)

Day of Hearts

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! :) 

I know today is usually a flutter of emotions - happy, in love, sad, angry, bitter, emotional - but for me I choose to be happy and positive. :) No use in being sad and lonely on Valentine's Day. Instead of waiting to receive love, we should be the ones giving love instead! 



A quick OOTD today on my Vday outfit!

I handed out chocolate hearts to my classmates today! Once in a while I like to surprise people and share the love that I have within me, I like seeing other people happy on a day where supposedly only the couples are happy and those with secret admirers. :)

Look what one of my classmates gave me -  isn't she sweet? :)
I've finally decided to make my Instagram account public after debating for so long whether or not I should!

Happy Happy New Year!

What? New Year in February? Well, that's how the Chinese celebrate it! February 10 was Chinese New Year and I'm pretty sure all the Chinese around the world wore red, ate tikoy (Chinese New Year cake made from glutinous rice and cooked with egg), lumpia and noodles, and displayed 13 kinds of round fruits. Haha, those are just some of the traditions that we Chinese have during the New Year. What about you guys, what are you New Year traditions? :)
