oxfords

Here's the pair of oxfords I'm soo lusting now.  I just saw this online and I'm trying my best not be impulsive to hit that "buy now" button. 


From http://www.stylebible.ph/themall/item/1264/

 But it reminds me of the jazz shoes I used in my college PE class.

So, should I buy the oxfords or not?

Kudos BPI

This morning I went to BPI to have some banking transactions done.  Since I do this before going to my office, normally, I'd allot at least 30minutes to have everything accomplished. 

true to its tagline, transactions are easy here.

Of course I anticipated queues and long waiting time but to my surprise, there was none.  Instead, I was welcomed by a friendly staff who led me to the computer kiosk that is more like an atm machine.  The instructions are clear and very easy to understand, even an idiot with no computer background can get their transactions done.  After everything's encoded, the machine will issue a slip with the transaction number and you'll be led to a very comfy couch where you can wait for your number to be called.  Yes, no need to stand up for so long in queues.  And in less than five minutes, my number was called and the teller handed out the slip right after I gave the money I had to deposit. Technically, all the teller did was to count the money and print out my transaction details.  That quick.  I finished everything in less than 10mins.  How efficient is that?  I wish all banks in the country are like that.  (Paging: BDO)

Berry Good! :)

Lately, I'm so into berries. Maybe a mere coincidence that when I checked my grocery bag, it's full of berry good things:



Nivea Angel Star Body Souffle, Lotion and Shimmer lip gloss

This new product line of Nivea has the remarkably sweet raspberry scent in the same moisturizing strength. All these come in cute pink packaging attracting its target market: the teens and the likes (including me, lol!)


I've been a fan of Nivea lip balms since high school (oh, that's more than a decade now!) and seeing the addition to its ever-reliable line of lippies make me so excited to try it at once. Aside from making the lips supple, this Angel Star lip balm has a shimmery effect.

Nivea Angel Star lip balm.  Cool packaging, huh?!

See the shimmer?  Fabulous!

   
I'm a huge fan of yogurt too. And when I'm short of cash, I indulge my yogurt cravings with Nestle Fruit Selection Yogurt. For only P25, this yummy and healthy dessert definitely makes my day.
 

My favorite yogurt flavor:  Berry Mix (strawberry and raspberry)

Creamy-licious yogurt. yum yum!

Iced tea with a twist: C2 Forest Fruits Tea has raspberry, blueberry and lemon.  That's sweet and tangy combination with a very distinct fragrance.

Here are some berries I love too:


I just loooove Halle Berry with her uber chic short hair and attitude:

Someday soon, I want to achieve this hairstyle.  Hmm.. just a thought, why won't I have a trip to my hairdresser later?!

Before Nivea Angel Star body souffle, here's the body butter I soo love and highly recommend to those with flaky skin.  Perfect in cold weather,  I use this for my feet to prevent my heels from flaking.

Sophie Martin Strawberry Milk Body Butter

For only around P200, Sophie Martin Strawberry Milk Body Butter can last me up to three months.  Because of its thick consistency, just a pea-size can cover so much.

Though a lot of people has this already, this Blackberry smartphone is still in my wishlist.

15 minute make-up routine

Now that my boss is getting so strict with timekeeping, I have to come up with a quick, 15-minute make-up routine. Of course, coming to work sans make-up is a no-no for a job like mine, facing several clients in a day. To keep me prepped up for every presentation without a lot of hours to waste in front of the mirror, here’s my tip:

First and most important of all, put on a moisturizer. It is the most important step because this makes your skin breathe under those layers of powder. I recommend that you find a moisturizer with SPF so you don’t have to apply another round of cream on your face. And of course, apply evenly. (1-2mins)

For a fresh look, dot a concealer on your problem areas like under the eyes and some blemishes. (1min)

Apply your foundation and/or face powder. Make sure that the tone of your face is same as of your neck. (2-3mins)

Brush color on the apples of your cheeks, light tint on your forehead and on top your nose. (1-2mins)

Put on eyeshadow. Safest and easiest to blend are those with shimmery finish. (3mins)

Apply mascara on your lashes. This is to open up your eyes so they won’t look droopy. (1min)

And lastly, put on some lip gloss or lipstick. (1min)

Now you’re good to go.

Mousse Make-up

Lately, I’m into these mousse make-ups that are becoming a staple in my kikay kit. I find these products a better option than those of traditional powder based.

Mousse makeup is actually an air-whipped product which makes it blend easier with the skin. Most mousse-based I know have matte finish that I love so much. With its consistency, these make-ups tend to cake up less. How fantastic is that?!

Over the past few months, here are some the mousse products I’ve tried and continue to love:

Maybelline Dream Matte® Mousse Foundation:



Avon Mousse blush
For an instant blooming look, here’s a one sweep blush-on to absolutely achieve it. Since it’s a mousse, there’s no need for brushes to apply this make-up. With its matte, no shimmer finish, blush looks more natural than powder blush-ons.

If you’re always in a hurry like me, this is highly recommended because application doesn’t need much effort. Because of its whipped formula, this foundation is so easy to apply as it glides smoothly onto your face. And as the name suggests, it really has a matte finish with a surprisingly weightless feel. In less than 5 minutes, you’re good to go.Elianto Mousse Eyeshadow
I was always a fan of loose powder eyeshadows until this product. Like any mousse makeup, this glides easily sans brushes onto your eyelids. With light shimmery finish, these eye make-ups are perfect for day wear. Available in Satin Purple, Pearl Green, and Milk Pink.
