Me and my best friend Christina planned to go to a nail spa that day and pamper ourselves but apparently, the spa is closed that day or maybe not (they’re not answering calls). So we ended up shopping at Shang Mall & Mall of Asia.

I’m not really fond of shopping. It’s not my thing. If I’m at the mall, the shops that I want to enter are computer shops, gadget shops (especially shops that sell Apple products), bookstores & hardware stores (believe it or not hehe).

I just shop for clothes & shoes if I need them. And since we’re already doing girly shopping might as well try out and buy something for myself hehehee.

Here are what I bought:

• Celine White Sandals (Php999)

I bought this at Celine in Shangrila Mall. I rarely buy flat shoes coz I’m not really comfortable with them. And I do have this big frustration about height. So I make sure that I buy shoes that are as high as possible (usually 3-4inches).

This particular design however is soooooooooooo nice that I can’t help myself but break my rule and buy it.

I don’t have any white shoes and I think it’s the safest color as I can wear it with any skirt or dress. It fits what I wore that day, so I ended up wearing it for the rest of the day. I really love it. It’s a good buy for Php999. I’m happy.

• Maldita Blazer (Php500), Pants (Php450)

I adore Maldita’s clothes a lot. Their design just fits my taste so whenever they are on sale, I make sure that I make a purchase.

Their MOA branch had a big sale last weekend. As in big discounts, 10-70% on a lot of items. There were soooooo many people. When I arrived it’s already 6:45PM and I have to attend a premiere (Slumdog Millionaire) by 7PM. So I lack a lot of time.

So what I did was to get whatever I think is nice and quickly buy it.

Here they are:

A green blazer. Since I’m into yellow clothes right now, I think it’s best that I buy a blazer that would look so cool in them. That’s what I had in mind when I bought it.

I soooo lack pants in my closet. And I especially don’t have much pants that I can wear in the office so I figured since this looked so cute, might as well buy one (as long as it fits me). Good thing it fits

So another day of shopping madness hehehe. When will be the next? We’ll see…

I was seriously planning to cut my hair really short last week. I wanted to get my friends’ opinions so I posted in my plurk about my question (Plurk Thread).

I think about 90% of them disagree with me cutting my hair short so I decided not to continue with my plan.

There were also some suggestions like try to go online and do a virtual makeover. I actually wasn’t aware that there is such a thing! And thanks to those who shared.

I tried Taaz (www.taaz.com), it’s so cool, promise! You just have to upload your picture and then you can do your makeover.

There are 4 sections there:

• Face
• Eyes
• Lips
• Hair

Various selections on each part, and it’s somewhat a lil realistic. For example, on the eyes part, they created a simulation of the contact lens (take note, there’s even an existing brand that they patterned it to). I think it’s also their way to help market their products.

So the first step is to upload your picture, next is to choose which section you want to do the makeover with and choose and preview… you can also save it once you’re done.

Here is me if I put on a very black hair & gothic makeup hehehe

After you finish your virtual makeover, you can compare it with your original picture. On the left is the original picture and on the right is the one we created via Taaz. In this picture, I just changed the hair that’s all.

If I want to see myself in short hair, I will need to upload a picture wherein I’m wearing a ponytail. I’ll do that soon.

I was watching How I Met Your Mother and saw one of the characters wearing the dress.
It is a dress and NOT a bikini, looks cool isn’t it?

I really want to have one!

Anyone know where I can buy it here in Manila or in other countries?

A lot of people have been asking me what products I use to take care of my face.
With this in mind, I’m sharing with you my personal routine

• Facial Wash

I use Olay 7 effects facial wash coz (1) I work in P&G, (2) I believe in the product (3) I’m positive it is one of the best products out there… I would have preferred SKII but it’s just too expensive.

• Facial Moisturizer

If I’m going to put something on my face better just stick to one brand and I have chosen Olay.

• Concealer

It took me quite a time before I decided to include this in my beauty regimen. Since I’m not getting any younger and I always sleep late due to WoW (hehe!), I will need to cover those big eyebags. After reading a lot of forums, I’m made to believe that Mac brand is the best out there.

• Foundation

Believe it or not, I don’t know how to wear makeup. I really dont understand the difference between a powder, foundation (dry, wet). I just kept researching on what’s the best product to use without any much effort. And here it is, Mac Studio Fix.

• Blush-On

A few years back, I was asked to model for a beauty shop. They gave me a free makeover and they used this product to put on my cheeks. I really loved it and from that time on, I learned how to use it. So natural looking

• Lipstick

I really don’t care much what to use. But since my mom gave me this as a gift, I’m using it.

• Night Cream

I use different moisturizers during day & night, I don’t understand the concept but I just follow it hehe

How about you? What products do you trust to put in your face?

Today, we went to megamall to watch a movie & shop for a new TV stand.

I ended up buying shoes instead hahaaha.

I did this because while walking in the mall, I saw this BIG sign downstairs saying “Further Reduction” then I realized it’s the CELINE shop.  So I said, this is the sign I’m going to buy shoes!!!

So we went downstairs, the promo is whenever you buy a pair of shoes, you’ll get the 2nd pair at half the price.  So I said to myself, I’ll definitely get 2 pairs of shoes.

So here they are:

This one I really dont like that much but since I’ll be getting it at Php200 why not? hehehe 🙂

This one I felt is very expensive (Php700) but since I cannot see any more better design, I still got it.

People think I have good fashion sense… I do believe though that I have a flaw… I don’t know how to choose shoes… and I seem to struggle a lot when it comes to matching clothes with shoes.

What do you think of the shoes that I bought today?
