Major Rambling featuring ETUDE HOUSE Precious Mineral BB Cream All day Strong in Sheer Silky Skin (Too long title :|)

Kamusta! Another major rambling of course. Now, I want to talk about one of Etude House's BB cream which is the Precious Mineral BB cream All Day Strong in Sheer Silky Skin #1.

I was really, really tempted to buy this because a lot of girls from here and other country raved about this. I couldn't resist not try because I was really curious so decided to have one of my own to try it out.

Did I liked it? YES! Why wouldn't I? It's creamy, provides good coverage and a small amount can cover up my whole face which is one of the steel for it's worth (P700++).

It's easy to blend, no break outs for me and no unpleasant scent. I just can't justify yet it's claim 'ALL DAY STRONG'. Bottom line, I really like this product and no regret it buying it. Here are some pictures of the BB cream :)

 This will be all for now and thank you for reading! Paalam!

Major Rambling: Etude House collective haul

Kamusta! Now, as promised I'm going to do a collective haul/review of the products I got from Etude House here in the Philippines. Collective because these items were not purchased on the same day. I'm not rich :)

First, here are the products I got from Etude House (Gustong gusto ko talagang sabihin yung 'ETUDE' na yan. IDK why... So odd. Haha!)

On to the collective haul.

From what you see, I already have the following:

○ Face Color Corset in Pink Lady
○ Dr. Oil Solution Anti-shine Mist
○ Oh~m'Eye Lash Top coat

I have to say that these aren't all of my Etude House purchases yet, it just so happen that these are only the pictures I currently have in our PC.

Now that I'm done with my mini collective haul, let's review them one by one shall we?

First off,  I'm going to start with the blush which is Face color Corset in Pink Lady. I got this mainly because I've been wanting to try a pinkish blush kasi puro na lang peach and palagi akong umiiwas sa pink before, so since I decided to try pink blush, I have to look for if not the best pink blush at least a good pink blush there is that I could buy para di ako matakot sa pink.

I know in this picture it doesn't show up as pink, but in person it really does. But not the kind of pink na parang si Barbie lang ang pwedeng gumamit and it's not even a Bubble gum pink. It's really pigmented, not powdery, easy to blend, and the thing I really love about it the most is that It suits my very Filipina-like complexion meaning morena. And it's not the kind of pink which will make you look like you've been slapped in the face. LOL :)

Next is  Dr. Oil Solution Anti-Shine Mist. I LOVE THIS PARTICULAR ONE! (Kailangan naka ALL CAPS talaga? Haha!) I've seen this one before and during those times, I was really skeptical about it so I had to pass. Coz I was really that sure that this will work but I still ended up buying this one to give it a try and boy I'm loving it like crazy. It really does help in controlling my oils. There's just one thing that confuses me about this, when I apply or spray it on there's this warm, tingling sensation on my face and my Mom also has the same comment but nevertheless, I still love this! (So much LOVE!)

"Nakakapikon!!" That was my initial reaction when I first saw this clear mascara at Etude House's counter in SM Fairview. I was really irritated and as embarrassing as it may seem I even complained on the SA asking them "Why now" (Alam kong wala silang kasalanan. Chos lang! :D) I was acting that way because it was just a couple of weeks when I bought this clear mascara at another Korean cosmetics line and it was priced at 378php. Samantalang sa EH ay 198php lang! I kinda feel bad too because the other one was not worth the price. Well that's another story. Moving On...

This particular clear mascara works so well as a 'clear mascara' even though it is marketed as a topcoat. It may look blue in the tube but it doesn't show up as blue when applied on the lashes. By far, one of the best clear mascaras I've tried. 

To sum my post up, I have to say that aside from I enjoy saying the word ETUDE, I really ENJOY their products. I just wish I CAN HAVE 'EM ALL. AS IN ALL... :) Well, that will be all for now. There will be a part two (2) for this mini haul/review on ETUDE HOUSE's products. Have a good one! Paalam!

My Obsessions :|

Kamusta! So for now, I'm going to share my current obsessions with make up. I know, Paulit-ulilt na lang... But please, do bare with me. Ok? :)

I started to be interested in make up way back in my college days and I never saw my self to be this INTERESTED at all. Kasi naalala ko, noong high school pa ako, I swore to my Mom that I will NEVER, EVER use any kind of make up. Well, totoo nga yung sinabi nila na "Wag kang magsasalita ng patapos" (Never say Never; YAN NA YUNG PINAKA MALAPIT NA TRANSLATION NA NAISIP KO KAYA, Again, PEACE!)

My obsession with make up started with a lip balm. Hence, the name of this blogpost was that. I was really loving the soft, supple feel lip balms give to my lips so that was the first make up thing I had which was way back in high school pa. So, when I entered college, I got really curious with the other girls wearing their make up looking really neat and beautiful plus the fact that I had a classmate whom which I can say that does know how to put basic make up looks. I got curious on how to put 'em, asked her how to do 'em and so the rest was history...

NOW, from lip balm it became lip gloss. Then eyeliner, mascara, blush and then foundation. And my obsession just kept on growing and still keeps on growing up until now. I know this is the part you've been waiting for *drumroll...

 I'm going to review each of them so, don't worry Ok, I just can't do it here coz it will take this blog SOOOO LOOONG. :)

Kulang pa 'to :) Haha!

So, this is how I will end my post for now. The next one will be a collective haul from Etude House. :)

Thanks for reading. Paalam! :)

F***kin' Perfect by PINK :)

I love this song... And I do love PINK so much!

Fuckin' Perfect

Made a wrong turn, once or twice.
Dug my way out, blood and fire.
Bad decisions, that's alright.
Welcome to my silly life.
Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood.
Miss 'No way, it's all good', it didn't slow me down.
Mistaken, always second guessing, underestimated.
Look, I'm still around.

Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than fuckin' perfect.
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel like you're nothing,
You're fuckin' perfect to me

You're so mean when you talk about yourself; you were wrong.
Change the voices in your head; make them like you instead.
So complicated, look happy, you'll make it
Filled with so much hatred, such a tired game.
It's enough; I've done all I can think of.
Chased down all my demons, I've seen you do the same.

Woah ohh, pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than fuckin' perfect.
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel like you're nothing,

You're fuckin' perfect to me.

The whole world's scared so I swallow the fear.
The only thing I should be drinking is an ice cold beer.
So cool in line, and we try try try, but we try too hard and it's a waste of my time.
Done looking for the critics, cause they're everywhere.
They dont like my jeans; they don't get my hair.
Exchange ourselves, and we do it all the time.
Why do we do that? Why do I do that?

Why do I do that?

Yeah, oh, oh baby, pretty baby
Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than fuckin' perfect.
Pretty,pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you're fuckin' perfect to me, yeahhh.
You're perfect, you're perfect
Ohh pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothin' you're fuckin' perfect to me.
