Drown me in Love♥

Let’s welcome 2012 with a bang! Happy New Year guys. Let’s all be safe in welcoming this year. May the year 2012 be wonderful, blessed, and a prosperous one!

Yay! I’m so excited to use my Belle de Jour Power Planner for 2012. It’s the Christmas gift I received from my sis. I’ve been eyeing on this planner in the past years but I couldn’t afford to buy it since I really don’t have enough money. Hihi.

This planner also includes discount coupons! Hooray for a budget shopper like me. :)

This is the first page of the planner. It will keep you inspired the whole year. :)

I’m now a certified Belle de Jour girl. Hihi. I also registered online for the Belle de Jour card.

Yay! I’m back from my 5 day Christmas vacation with my family. :) How are you guys doing? 

I will be posting a good post soon since I’ll be busy again doing school paper works and of course our thesis.

Hope you’ll keep in touch with me and visit again. Toodles! :)

Typhoon Sendong really had affected the Philippines recently especially in the southern part of the country. Lots of lives were taken away, lots of families lost their shelter. Christmas is coming, and I feel really sad because they won’t be able to celebrate Christmas with their loved ones lost and no trace of a good shelter. 

See Typhoon Sendong Aftermath for more photos.

We Filipinos could help by donating food, clothes, milk, cash and the like. Just search on how to donate and help them. There are posts in Facebook informing us on how we can donate those things. I will also ask help from our friends outside the country to do the same thing. You can donate via UNICEF, Red Cross and other agencies.

Or the most simple but really effective way is to grab your phone and follow this:

For Globe subscribers:
via SMS, c/o Red Cross – text RED <amount> and send to 2899 – valid donation amounts are P5, 25, 50, 100, 300, 500 and 1000 (For ex, RED 10). Transaction is free.
via GCASH, text DONATE<space><amount><space><MPIN><space><REDCROSS> and send to 2882

For Smart subscribers:
via SMS, c/o Red Cross – text RED <amount> and send to 4143 – valid donation amounts are P10, 25, 50, 100, 300, 500, 1000 (For ex, RED 10). 

I hope this would help our ‘kababayans’ who were affected by the typhoon. Of course, the most important thing to do to help is to PRAY, and ask for His guidance.

Since I will not be posting this vacation, (but i’ll try. hihi) I made this using MS Paint out of boredom. Adobe Photoshop is not yet installed here in my laptop so MS Paint is really handy, though my skills in creating stuffs like this are not great. LOL.

Anyways, Christmas is near! Have a Blessed and Merry Christmas to all of you! Also, advanced happy new year! See you again guys. :D

Nature Republic’s Petit Cherry Rouge <3

I bought the shade in G06, Glossy Red Orange since I’m looking for a natural looking shade in which I think complements my skin. Hihi. And of course, it’s glossy! I like everything sparkly and glittery.  The Petit Cherry Rouge line comes in 4 variants. G for Glossy, H - High Color, M- Moisture and C- Creamy which is indicated at the top of the box as seen in the picture above.

Look how petite it is. Really complements the name of the product. So cute!

The shade is just right, not that light and not that dark. Perfect for those who wants a natural healthy looking lips. 

This doesn’t dry my lips which I really like. The ingredients are all natural? Maybe. Since the brand is Nature Republic. Hihi. The only thing I don’t like about this is, it’s not that long lasting. 

It costs Php 220. Cheap right? For a quality lipstick like this. I think I will buy the other shades in the future since I’m really lovin’ this lippie. :D

This could be also a perfect gift this Christmas for your girlfriends and loved ones. :D

Etude House Silk Scarf Hair Treatment.

According to the description at the back cover, it is specially formulated with oil complex and floral scent. It restores and reinforces brittle and damaged hair, preventing future breakage and leaving hair extraordinarily strong, soft, silky, and manageable.

I’ve been using this for months and I try to use it twice a week. But I’m such a lazy gal that I only use it twice a month. Haha. Anyways, I’m not really impressed with this treatment compared to the Silky Perfumed treatment that was included in the Bubble Hair Coloring. It does make my hair soft, shiny, and manageable, but it doesn’t last long. Also it’s a bit pricey (Php 348) compared to other hair treatments. 

What I like about this product is its cute packaging and I really love its smell. I can just put my hair into my face and smell it. LOL.

What I’m lovin this month.

Coca Cola ring I bought from Girlshoppe. It costs around Php50. Could be a great gift for your girlfriends. There are also other designs to choose from. :)

My Candy Magazine December Issue! Oh how I love this issue. Great gift ideas, fashion and beauty guide for this season and so much more. Grab your copies now! 

This is my fave nail polish from Etude House. It doesn’t have a popping color or an eye candy shade, but I really like it. :)

Brown nude shade with glitters. It has glitters (Oh how I love glitters. LOL.) on it, but obviously you can’t see it on the picture. Hihi. 

LOL. Sorry for my nails. :D I think this shade is from their Aloha Line, PK013. BTW, it costs Php 48. :)

Collagen Pop Gloss from Nature Republic. 

I love how it fits small pockets in my bag and I love that I could bring it anywhere I go. It costs I think Php298. It’s not that cheap compared to other lipglosses that are much bigger, but I think the quality is great and it doesn’t make my lips feel itchy. (Since, I really have sensitive lips.)

The applicator glides well. (Tip: Put the applicator first on the center of your lips, then glide it on sides to achieve a fuller lip look. )

Glittery pink! If you love a nude shiny look for your lips, this one is perfect. 

Collagen Pop Gloss also comes in different shades. But, I choose this one since I’m looking for that fresh, nude look for my lips. :)

Bought this matte lipstick from Nichido few months ago and I’m really satisfied with it. Though I don’t use it everyday. 

Nichido Matte Lipstick in Pink Lush

It costs  Php100+, but not more than Php200. (Sorry, I’m not really good at remembering price tags when I buy things. But I make sure that I buy things at a reasonable price. Hihi. )

It comes with a small pot of lip gloss at the top of the cover. Yay. A multi-purpose lipstick! :D

It contains Castor seed oil and Jojoba seed oil which helps the lips moisturized. The only thing I don’t like about this product is that it contains paraben. But, I think it is not harmful for me though because I don’t use this lipstick everyday. :D
