Avon Haul

Hey girls! How's everybody? Again, I've been busy lately so please bear with me. I don't have too much time to sit down and write. I feel like I have a writer's block this month, which actually sucks.

Anyway, let me just share with you my latest video. This is my first ever Avon Haul for Buy Avon Manila. If you girls don't know it yet, I do sell Avon products through Buy Avon Manila. So, if you happen to find something that you want from my brochure, please don't hesitate to shoot me an email or tweet me so I can get your orders for you, alrightie?

I will stop talking (I mean, typing). Here's my latest haul video. Hope you like it!

#ThrowbackThursday: Call me, maybe

Not so long ago, I filmed this video with most of the Carbon Team. Carbon is my second home. The people there are great and talented. I left Carbon earlier this year but I visit every now and then.

I was browsing my YouTube videos and came across this one. I laughed. Hope my Carbon girls and guys can see this. The good old times! Hope to meet all of you again. Let's hang out some time. I know we're all busy but I know we can do something about it. :)

LOOKBOOK: Moms' Day Out

Hey loves! I rested for almost a week from blogging and now I'm back. For my first post from my rest, here's a Lookbook postt for you. I took this photo at Makati when my mom and I went to Slimmer's World for mommy's Diamond Peel. I went there with my brother too so it was a family bonding at the same time. Here's what I wore:

Eye Makeup for Girls with Eyeglasses

Eyeglasses can make one look nerdy but, with the right makeup trick, you can definitely shine through your eyeglasses.

I don't like wearing contact lenses. I never actually tried one but it's something I don't really consider. I've heard a lot of horror stories from people who wore contact lenses. I guess I'm just too afraid to try. I only have two eyes, right? Better treat it right.

I love wearing my eyeglasses especially with my newest one from Four Eyes. It's actually what I'm wearing in these photos. Don't you just love it? I will have a review on it soon. Just squeezing all my tasks this week. I'm pretty full this week.

Anyways, have fun looking at this simple eye makeup I did to myself.

I am an Avon Makeup Council

OMG!

That's all I can say! Thank you guys for all your support and you made my dream come true! I have posted a special Thank You post here so please read it to feel how thankful I am for being part of Avon's Makeup Council.

Avon has finally announced me and the rest of the girls in their Avon site. I have been waiting for this moment since I was certified as Avon's first ever Makeup Council. I'll be doing a lot of product reviews, how-to tutorials and many unimaginable things with Avon. Sky is the limit!

I actually have 2 Avon makeup tutorials for you. Hope you can watch them. I'll have a lot soon.

REVIEW: Lucky Me Instant Pancit Palabok

This feels weird as this is the first time that I'm going to post a food review in this blog. Haha! Talk about RANDOMNESS! I really don't have a schedule of what to post this week. I just saw some food photos in my laptop and now I'm blogging about it.

Few months ago, I got so crazy over this Lucky Me Instant Pancit Palabok. I love Pancit Palabok but I get to eat it only at either Jollibee or Red Ribbon. Their Pancit Palabok is the best! My mom doesn't know how to cook this and I don't know either. Can somebody please give me a recipe?

On to the review.

VLOG: My L'Oreal Professionel and Tony and Jackey Korean Style Experience

I've blogged about this here but I just uploaded a vlog version. This one's pretty short but covered everything from start to finish.

Let me take you to the BTS of this event by L'Oreal Professionel in partnership with Tony and Jackey.

Plains and Prints iPad Cover

Few weeks ago, I was invited to the Plains and Prints event with Anne Curtis. It was a short but sweet gathering for Plains and Prints and Anne Curtis fans. It was indeed the perfect partnership.

The PR team handed me a goodie bag and it has this beautiful iPad cover. I don't have an iPad so I just thought of giving this to my mom. My mom just got her iPad and she don't have a cover then. She preserves her iPad with a plastic cover. It's pretty much the original packaging when she got it, I guess. But now, she's happy with this Plains and Prints iPad cover! Very chic and elegant.

#ThrowbackThursday: Caviar-inspired Nail Art Tutorial

Of course! We all love #ThrowbackThursday, right? Everyone's using this hashtag and I love it as well. So, for today I want to share with you an old nail art tutorial I filmed in my beauty channel. As much as I want to try caviar nails that time, I just can't find a cheap dupe for Ciate. I know one store but it's so so so far from my place so I just re-created it (somehow). Enjoy my nail art tutorial below!

LOOKBOOK: Tiger and his polka Penshoppe

Here's my husband again. It's very rare that you see him here. Haha! Well, he is a very "private" person and there are times, like this one, where he's okay for me to take some photos of him and approving my blogger plans to feature him in this blog. I still don't know the equation for his "yes" until today.

During our 2nd wedding anniversary, we went to SM MoA to eat at the bay area. You know, it's just a simple celebration. Nothing bongga but we want to make sure that we spend some quality time together as a couple. We usually go out with Ethan but this time we want to feel like we're still in the boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. Hehe!

We did a little shopping. We went to Penshoppe because I said I'll give him a new top that he can wear at the office as my anniversary gift. Spot my husband here.

Avon's New Makeup Collection

I've been a bit (actually soooo) busy lately that I don't have much time to do my "blogging" duties. I can't even post as much on Instagram. I'm busy working on Dress Etc and it's eating most of my free time. That explains why I don't post as much on my social media pages lately. Sorry about that one. I promise I'll make a come back this week. :)

I was so lucky to be one of Avon's Makeup Council and to be invited to the media launch of Avon's newest makeup collection. I know you've seen the TVC but, for the nth time, let me share this amazing video of Anne Curtis for Avon.

I've been, and will always be, a fan of Anne Curtis ever since the world began. Hehe! She's just so fabulous, cool and funny at the same time. She hosted the launch at Sofitel few weeks ago and she did it with grace and it was flawless! She wore this beautiful red dress too and I just can't help but look at her and focus on her during the first part of the event. Just telling the truth here!
