Ken Chan as the new face of Lolita

The Lolita Cologne Spray line is definitely a must-have in every girl's bag for that unique smell that will definitely make everybody's head turn. And speaking of head-turning scent, how would you like to capture Ken Chan's attention with your Lolita style?

 

Yes! Ken Chan is the new face of Lolita. This upcoming young actor is making a name for himself because of his amazing talent and charm. He regularly appears in the late night show Walang Tulugan and is currently in the drama show Rhodora X. With so many girls wanting to be his girl, what do you think is his type?

LOOKBOOK: Summer OOTD #1

I can't believe it has been a year or so since I posted an #ootd vlog in my YouTube channel. So, I filmed this summer outfit idea to update my fashion playlist.

I have been planning about this giveaway for the longest time. I can't believe I'm turning 27 next week. One year older again, so I decided to treat one of you with these goodies.

Home Decor Idea #1 (Vanity Room)

I am obsessed with organizing. I would say that I'm an organizer freak and I have been rearranging our room for the past 2 or 3 weeks now. I have accumulated so much since the last quarter of 2013 and I just find the time to really dig into all my stuff and throw away junk.

I have been, in particular, inspired by a lot of home decor ideas especially in the vanity area via Pinterest. For people like me who doesn't have any background in interior design, Pinterest is a great place to get some ideas and inspirations. Here are some home decor ideas that I want to share with you all.

What's New: NYX Baked Eyeshadows

I haven't done a What's New article here in my blog for quite a while now but Injust got intrigued with the NYX Baked Eyeshadows last night and here are the things I learned:

• It has a great color pay off.
• You can use it wet or dry.
• It's better to scrape off the top portion before actually getting the pigments and packing it on your lids.
• Use it dry to get a buildable colors that you want for your eye makeup look

What's your happiness?

Happiness is a mental or emotional state of well-being characterized by positive or pleasant emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy. - Wikipedia

Happiness is such a broad word and maybe something that's hard to define. The definition of happiness varies from one person to another. I recently tweeted about Pharrell Williams' "Happy" song and I just feel that it's the perfect definition of happiness. It did not give an exact and concrete definition though but the feeling that it gives you while listening to the song will definitely make you smile. I'm imagining it as a McDonald's song, if you know what I mean.

It's official. "Happy" by @Pharrell Williams is the soundtrack of my life :) https://t.co/1c3emGxZCm #sharehappiness

How-To: Nail Art Design Tutorial #2 (Easter-Inspired)

Here's another easy nail art tutorial for you. I was inspired by Easter eggs since it's Holy Week now and I hope to see your nails matchy-matchy with mine.

• a base coat
• 2 pastel-colored nail polish. I used mint and light pink in this tutorial
• (Optional) a pink nail polish or just use your secondary nail color
• and a top coat

Watch the video below to know how to make this cute Easter-inspired nail art.

LOOKBOOK: Butterfly

I'm so happy every time I'm with my mom and brother. With our busy lives, it's just almost impossible to get together often but when we do, it's definitely memorable. Because it's summer, I decided to wear a simple outfit. Nothing fancy and I think most of us dress this way but I just have to say that I love my butterfly bag. I'm actually selling this at Sai's Beauty Shoppe so send me a message on Facebook if you want one, alright?

Avon Colorlast Lipstick Review and Swatches

This one's a long overdue post about Avon's Colorlast Lipstick. I was busy with my unorganized life since January but I'm working on it and trying my best to balance mom life and blogging duties. #BloggerProblems

In this video you'll see all the swatches and what I think about every color of the Colorlast Lipstick. I only have 7 out of 9 shades from this lipstick line and I actually got the chance to try Celebrity Red before I received this package. I got it as a demo offer from Avon since I'm also an Avon Representative (a.k.a. your Avon Lady).

March 2014 Favorites

I can't believe March is over and my birthday month is here. I've been grabbing more Avon products since January and I want to show you other things that made my pretty and happy last month. Watch my March 2014 Favorites below.

#Selfie

I'm just in LSS mode with this song by The Chainsmokers. I know you can relate to this line: "But first, let me take a selfie."

Haha! Admit it! Selfie(s) are definitely one of the notable POP thing in our era today. I totally agree with BryanBoy with this as I learned about this video through his blog.

I'm not really into taking selfie(s) especially in my Instagram page. I mean just for the sake of posting my face. I can say that you will rarely see my tag my photos #selfie but I'm not against it. It's just me. I honestly enjoy taking photos of my son, makeup and my everyday life, if you know what I mean. :)

This one might seem like a selfie but no! It's my FOTD. Hehe :)

Enjoy this party song.

Do you like the song? What are your thoughts about selfie(s)?
