          You can always see denim anywhere and it never fails us because it's one thing in your closet that will never go out of style and they can easily blend it whatever outfit you wear because of its versatility. It might seem a little risky but there are no rules to wearing denim on denim. With such a classic piece, it's always important to not only dress it up according to your style but it's also key to give it a fresh look by updating it with today's trends that is why I decided to add that Forever 21's top because cut-out clothes are now rising up.

HAUL: Ever Bilena, Plains & Prints, Suesh, Missha

HAUL 01/04/13

1. EB ADVANCE BB CREAM

WHERE: Landmark, Trinoma
HOW MUCH:P195.00

 EVER BILENA WEBSITE

- A whitening, foundation and moisturizing cream all rolled into one! EB Advance BB Cream Whitening provides a flawless coverage while concealing blemishes and dark spots and protecting it from the harmful rays of the sun. With the help of its potent moisturizers such as Shea Butter and Vitamin E, it richly moisturizes your skin to make it soft and smooth.

               They have 2 kinds of BB Cream, anti-wrinkle and whitening. I didn't get this whitening to improve my complexion but because this shade is much appropriate for my skin tone. The anti-wrinkle one is in the default shade of natural, more likely for mestiza's or whom with pink undertone. While the whitening one is in the default shade of oriental, more likely for asian or whom with yellow undertone.

2. EB ADVANCE HD COLORLESS MASCARA

WHERE: Landmark, Trinoma
HOW MUCH:P100.00

 EVER BILENA WEBSITE

- Is a simple and effective way to shape the eyebrows. It also serves another purpose: making your eyelashes naturally look longer.

               I bought it for school because I wanted to stay my curled lashes while looking natural. Not like other mascaras they offer volume which is good but not for a high school student like me. 
 

3. EB DIP DIPLINER

WHERE: Landmark, Trinoma
HOW MUCH:P150.00

 EVER BILENA WEBSITE

               I am looking for cheapest liquid or gel eyeliner. But I saw gel types are much expensive. This product is cheap and controllable good for newbie who like to practice, because I noticed there are some liquid eyeliner that is thick and messy not for careless people like me. I have started practicing using the pencil one that every make up guru advised but I think liquid or gel type works better.

4. SUESH SPONGE PUFF

WHERE: Suesh, Trinoma
HOW MUCH:P200.00 (P550.00)

 SUESH STORE LOCATOR│SUESH ONLINE STORE

SUESH SPONGE PUFF REVIEW

 - The refining texture can perfectly maintain the powder to creates delicate look. The fine quality of puff is pliable to use for long time even after cleansing. 

               I had been eyeing this product since the Beauty Blender started. I really wanted to experience the flawless effect and beginner to pro application this product offers. I bought Models Own blending sponge which I was very disappointed with. [Review and Suesh vs. Models Own Blending Sponge SOON]

 5. MISSHA SILKY SOFT BASE IN "Green"

WHERE: Landmark, Trinoma

HOW MUCH: P499.0
MISSHA PH FACEBOOK PAGE

- This silky soft makeup base applied all over the face, leaves skin lustrous and radiant. It helps to maintain clean and soft makeup all day long. Green is more suitable for girls who have reddish acne marks on their face because it minimizes redness.

               It has 5 variations of colors, green, violet, pink, white and beige. I got mine in green because I have reddish acne marks that I like to minimize to use foundation for evening my skin tone not concealing or using concealers anymore.

6. PLAINS AND PRINTS

WHERE: Plains & Prints, Trinoma
HOW MUCH:P497.50 (995.00)

 PLAINS & PRINTS STORE LOCATOR│PLAINS & PRINTS ONLINE STORE

               They are having sale so I check it out but I didn't see the sale section and how many percent off. I just decided to fit some of their garments because even though their are bit expensive it is worth it for the quality and it their garments fits me perfectly. I see this blouse it has unique style in the sleeves so I have convinced myself buying it even thoughh it is roughly P1,000. I am shocked because it is 50% off cost me only P497.50. Great deal!

DAILY HAPPENINGS: Random 01/04/13

               It's too early in the morning, cinema's starts at lunch time. I decided to come back because I haven't chosen yet what movie to watch either The Strangers or Sossy Problems because I promised my sister we will watch Sisterakas and One More Try together. I went to Fully Booked and read "Bobbi Brown, Pretty Powerful". I finished it for 2 hours standing; it felt time slipped away. When I noticed it had been 2 hours I felt hunger and exhaustion. I decided to check some make up books at National Bookstore. I saw Sephora, Jemma Kidd, Face to Face and Rae Morris books; I really want to read it but I'm so hungry and tired of standing and/or of walking. 

               On the way to Bread Talk, Landmark I saw makeup section. I remember what I read in the Bobbi Brown book; use corrector and/or concealer not foundation. Foundation is all about evening skin tone. I'm looking for corrector and concealer but I didn't find what I want. I saw the BB Cream at Ever Bilena and tested on the back of my hand. I was amazed with the coverage so I bought it together with their transparent mascara (for school). It is pass 12:55 p.m I missed the first showing of Sossy Problems so I ate at Bread Talk na lang. I had my favorite Hot Chic but unfortunately they don't have Sola. After eating I came back at makeup sections to buy eye shadow palette and eyeliner to practice my passion. I also read at Bobbi Brown book, Never be afraid of practicing; it's just makeup and you can take it off easily. I haven't decided what eye shadow to buy; if it's matte, shimmery, neutral, cold or warm colors. So I just bought Ever Bilena's eyeliner because I notice it is the one eyeliner that is controllable that I have tested.
  

 TICKET

               I went to the Cinema for the next showing of Sossy Problems is 3:10 p.m. I check my watch it is already 2:45 p.m I bought 1 ticket for myself (forever alone) and Large Apple Juice at Burger King because I'm not that hungry. I am in a hurry and went to Cinema 2 agad-agad, the guard told me "Maam, 3:10 pa po kayo". I was shocked and asked her what time na ba, she replied and told me "1:53 pa lang po". Oh my gosh! It's 1:45 not 2:45. I am like "Sayang yung apple juice ko" I don't have any choice just to walk around, drink my apple juice and wait for 3:10 p.m. I check out Tomato and their watch is still on sale (20% off). I also passed by Plains and Prints it is also sale. I fitted 7 items; the 3 shorts is doesn't fit well, 1 dress is hard to fit coz it has a lot of buttons, 2 blouse is bit small and the other blouse is perfect but it cost P995.00 roughly P1,000. I decided to buy it because it has a nice design and it fits perfectly to me. I was shocked when the cashier told me "P497.50 po". Sale pala, 50% off! Right choice!

                 I check Suesh (in front of P&P) because I need a sponge for lesser coverage than my brushes. I am choosing between wedge sponges or blending sponge. I bought blending sponge before but it doesn't work so I am a bit confused. The saleslady told me the blending sponge is twice bigger when wet (which my Models Own's sponge is not capable of) and it is sale! I got the blending sponge for P200.00 instead of P550.00. Another grab!

                 It is already 3:00 p.m so I decided to go na at Cinema 2 and wait inside rather than being late. The movie is fun and I like their fashion sense especially Rhian Ramos's outfits. After watching movie I went to Pop Culture because I am always eyeing on their makeup section. Thier Nyx cosmetics is bit pricey than other sellers online. I realized they are paying tax and rental which an online shop doesn't.

                It's already 2013 and I want to change my foundation routine. I don't want to wear mask anymore, I want lesser coverage but still conceals my dark spots. Actually my dark spots are more on redness. I decided to buy green primer at Missha which I saw on Say Tioco Artillero's videos. If I wore green primer it will hide my redness and I can use lesser fondation just to even out my skin tone. And for dinner I ate Chunky Chicken at Plato wraps cost me P46.00.Over-all I have spent P2044.50. I am such a Queen of Spendour!

                 [MORE PHOTOS SOON] Look what I got home! This means new haul for you. Stay tuned for haul, reviews and swatches :*

JOURNEY 2/4: Disneyland

 OUTFIT OF THE DAY
SHAPES beige top, PLAINS AND PRINTS maong shorts and JADA beige boots

               I woke up at 5 in the moring to get ready for an awaiting adventure day and to eat breakfast. Silka's breakfast buffet is a American buffet to be exact that is good for the tourist to remind us our breakfast in the comfort of our home. But I hope they serve some Hong Kong dish to represent their culture. Their American buffet is like ordinary breakfast; they serve cereals, pancakes, scrambles eggs, sausages, fried rice, fruits, breads e.t.c

BUFFET AREA

               After having breakfast my mom and I go out to see the life in Hong Kong. I saw double-decker buses which are really cool because we have different bus in the Philippines; just the ordinary one. A lot of buses passed us by so I decided to stay at the bus stop to wait and take a picture when the bus stops.

               A few minutes Yannie, our tour guide, came and picked us up. We arrived in a park where you can take pictures on some statues in a very relaxing sea view with fresh air.

              Next, we arrived at a jewelry store. The sales representative is very funny and speaks Filipino too. He is also really convincing; thankfully we have controlled and save our money. We also stop by at a souvenir shop where you can buy cheap t-shirts with "I Love Hong Kong" printed on it, snacks and key chains and other stuff to remind you've been in Hong Kong..

 BOAT

 JUMBO FLOATING RESTAURANT

               Next stop is a bay that reminds me of Manila Bay in the Philippines, you can't walk their but you can ride a boat that will tour you to the whole bay. This boat tour thingy is started by the fishermen because sometimes they have bad fishing day with no customers at all. They decided to let the tourist rent their boat for P350 or 50 Hong Kong Dollars to tour them instead of waiting all day for a good fishing. A little bit pricey but it is one way to help them like charity.These fishermen are really wise; they use their boat as a home because as I said Hong Kong is  high living.

SINGAPORE INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL

 OCEAN ADVENTURE

                Our tour package is really Disneyland but some members of the group chose Ocean Adventure.

 DISNEYLAND

                Disneyland time! I will do a separate blog to focus our Disneyland Adventure and make this blog a bit short. After Disneyland we ride a train going to Shenzhen, China immigration. Arriving at China is not a good start because we need to use the overpass; it takes a hard and long time for us because we are carrying heavy luggage.

 HONG KONG TO CHINA TRAIN

               Gorgeous Hotel is a hotel for gorgeous only. Just kidding! The room and beds are bigger than Silka Hotel has. Again, we are all tired and hungry. I didn't eat at Disneyland because it is too expensive for me being a practical freak that lead me to eat chips for dinner. I thought that time I will just sleep and wait for the buffet breakfast in the morning. It's gonna be fierce!
