Bon Marche: Neon Necklaces!

I've never been a fan of bold necklaces. Maybe because I don't see myself wearing them everyday considering the type of clothes I have in my closet. Also, I commute most of the time which is probably the reason I don't like wearing accessories that catch too much attention. :P I like the low profile look and toned down accessories. If you notice in most of my OOTDs, I simply wear pearl earrings and necklace (not the real pearls, of course). 

But all that changed when a close friend of mine sent me two necklaces. And I only have three words to describe them: bold, sexy and attractive. Hahaha! Whenever I wear them, I feel like I'm never afraid of wearing colors. And in case you don't know, the woman behind these necklaces was the same person who made "AnnaNani" rings. Her name is Maree Policarpio, the proud owner of BON MARCHE.  

I love wearing her neon necklaces with a plain shirt or blouse. It makes my casual outfit look more fun and vibrant. I'm really glad Maree sent me these items.


I have posted few pictures on my facebook page a few weeks back but I only showed the neon yellow and green combination. As promised, I'm going to reveal the second necklace she gave me.

Direct Sunlight Shots. Look how vibrant they are! 

Visit her shop to see more of her beautiful creations! :)

Thank you for visiting my blog! Stay happy and beautiful!

Mom's Closet: Pamana #3 Pearl Necklace

My mom had the hobby of collecting necklace pieces when she was younger and I noticed she loved pearls. I think any woman loves pearls because of its simplicity and elegance. I'm really thankful that, despite Ondoy, I was able to keep her old pieces of jewelry. 

This is my favorite necklace among others that I found in the jewelry box she gave me years ago. I rarely see designs like this one nowadays. 

Three layers of Pearls

I'm loving this series. There are several other things I have yet to share with you, guys. 

This is it pansit! ^___^ 

Now my room smells Mandarin Plum!

Ever since I bought scented candles, I've been hooked on the idea of making my room smell delicious. 

I bought Poutpuri Oil: Miyake @ P99- Smells really good. :) and a drop goes a long way as the SA told me. I'm excited to try it out. 

Berry Compote, Mandarin Plum @ P79 each. They look like chocolate bars. 

I bought them at SM Department Store. (I'm a SM Department Store Girl. I buy most of my things there. It's like if I need something it's all there.) 

trying Mandarin Plum... just slice a portion of the bar and let it melt.

Yey, It's melting and my room smells uber delicious. It's like I am in a luxurious Spa. 

I'm planning to buy a wax and a scented oil burner for Nani so he can be more relaxed while studying. :) I'm thinking of buying vanilla wax cause that Vanilla is his favorite. <3 

Anyway, I also bought a Shoe Organizer. I have this goal for the year to buy a pair of shoe every other month... but it ain't happening yet. Frugal Me... :P

bought Shoe Organizer at P399.75

Fanny Serrano Foundation @ P399

I also bought the Fanny Serrano Foundation in Silk. I've heard a lot of good reviews about it and at the same time, I've been looking a good powder foundation. I have oily skin and liquid foundations make my face look oilier at the end of the day. Since I commute going to school, I need a powder foundation to make my skin look more fresh and less oily. :)

If you have any thoughts about this product, feel free to share and leave a comment below. 

  BTW, if you're one of those who are have doubts, you might wanna read reviews some of my co-bloggers did.

Bambi's Review

Before I end my post, I just want to share to you my current facial cleansers. I was planning to buy just one and I grabbed apricot cleanser first. I wasn't sure if it's more of a scrub or cleanser cause it has the beads that one usually see in exfoliating scrubs. I asked the SA but she wasn't sure either. I haven't tried it but it smells really good. 

Anyway, I was interested in the olive cleanser. As I've mentioned before, I don't do the three step skin care process so I thought it's really good if my cleanser was non drying and moisturizing. I tried the Olive Cleanser right after I arrived home. It's really moisturizing but I'm not sure if it deeply cleans my face. It's not the usual cleanser where you'll see bubbles while applying the product on your face. However, I'll give the benefit of the doubt that it deeply cleans my face. 

Right now, I'm preventing my skin from having breakouts and I want to get rid of my blemishes as well. I hope these cleansers will not let me down. :P

PS. I hope all of you had a great SUNDAY!

Yey My tarsier loves the smell too :) Look at those BIG eyes. O_O

Etude Haul, New Nail Polishes, Make up Kit and More

Hello, girls! I hope you are enjoying summer. 

Last Wednesday, I was able to visit Etude House @ SM Fairview. I never knew they had inexpensive nail polishes that were worth Php 48 and Php 98. So I grab the two shades that attracted me. I was also very glad that I was able to buy eyelid tapes at Php 58. Too bad, I did not bring my Pink Membership Card. :( But it was ok. I still enjoyed it. 

I bought eyelid tapes not because I have monolids. Most of the time, whenever I'm stressed, my right eyelid becomes a monolid which makes me conscious because my eyes look weird . The culprit can be stress, a result of crying until I fell asleep... or both. So to avoid that semi-monolid situation (which I think will be frequent once law classes start), I bought these handy-dandy tapes. I tried it yesterday and it looked natural on my lid. I wasn't able to take pictures of me wearing it but I'll try to post it some other time.

From left to right: Etude House PP904 (Php 98), Elianto Night Glitters (Sale @ Php 60), Etude House BR307 (Php 48)

I also want to share with you guys the nail polishes I recently bought this year. My nail polish collection is growing FAST. I just can't help buying these cute nail polishes especially that they're very inexpensive. Speaking of inexpensive, I want to show you my new nail polish discovery: MUTYA.  

From left to right: To Bee Farm, Cool Donsol, Honda Bay, Panglao Dive

I bought them at Php 44. 75 each. The packaging is catchy and chic. The gold coated cap makes this a little more sophisticated than other drugstore nail polishes. Aside from that, it has catchy names for each shades.

Here's a link from Mutya's website so that you can also check out the available shades.

Here is a picture of my growing nail polish collection.

I apologize for my very unattractive/distractive study table. I'm planning to organize my things this summer but I'm too lazy to clean my room. :P

Just like everyone else, I've been changing foundations as I find better products that suit my skin. I also discover new products to add to my make up kit. So another year, another updated make up kit. 

1. Make up Bag I bought @SM Marikina
2. Nichido Eyebrow Pencil
3. Nichido Eyeliner Smudge free (although it will smudge a little bit if you have oily lids which I do. Hopefully I'll be able to find a good eyeliner for me. I'm still in search of that product)
4. IN2IT Mascara (brief review in this post)
5. VOV Cream Foundation
6. E.L.F Bronzer Powder (Luminance)
7. Nichido Mono Eyeshadow
8. Max Factor Weightless Foundation in Beige Linen ( I'm a shade lighter but I find this shade more natural for me. It covers my blemishes than my real shade)
9. Revlon Nude Lipstick ( I don't really wear it but I still bring it)
10. E.L.F All-Over-Stick in Golden Peach
11. Etude House Eyelid tapes. 

Before I end my post I also want to share with you some crafts and furnitures I want to buy to add accent in my room. Not sure if I can buy the chair though. I visited KULTURA PILIPINAS store @ SM MOA and it is worth almost Php 10,000. 

This looks great for organizing my nail polish collection. :D

Disclaimer: Not from KULTURA but I'd love to have this in my room!

Who doesn't want a nice shoe rack/shelf?

Thanks for reading and have a nice weekend!

Turned 2NE1

I'm 21 and still kickin'! ^__^

Sorry guys if this is like my first post for October. There are times I planned to post something but it took time for me to organize my thoughts. I've been thinking A LOT of things lately. Stress. :P

Anyway, it's my birthday and I'm one year older. Time flies so fast. Three years ago I'm just celebrating my debut and now... I'm already frigging 2ne1. I mean... I can't pretend to be a teenager anymore- eighTEEN... nineTEEN, twenTEEN.... and now.. it's really twenty-one. I won't be able to put any "teen" to it. :P I'm now a young adult which means I have more responsibilities.

Dance with my Father... on my 18th Birthday

This year I'm very grateful to God for giving a lot of blessings. I graduated in a good university with the course I really like. And I was able to get a great job as a US stock broker right after school. It's quite difficult to get a job these days. I'm one of the lucky ones who didn't have to extend a bum life being unemployed which is a good thing for a career. There's always progress although one must sacrifice time and social life. I'm not a student anymore. I can't just be absent like cutting classes. I really need to work my ass off if you know what I mean. :P 

I really wanna thank my parents and my friends who supports me all the way. I'm 21 and I'm ready to take over the world. LMAO. ^__^

And because it's my birthday... I made a video of myself lip singing... again. HAHAHA.

Birthday Haul

Yesterday we went to SM Cubao to shop and dine. :) 

These are the items I bought.

Parisian Flats. Php 399

I love it the first time I tried it. It's so comfy. 

I'm such a "Parisian" Girl. Every time I shop for shoes I go to Parisian. 

Skinny Pants

They're good as casual or office attire. :P

Php  599.75

Php 499.75

Php 399.75

It's quite a trend having a matte dark blue nails. And it can make your complexion lighter too.

Here in the Philippines, temperature is unbelievable. I don't wanna go out 10 am- 3 pm cause it's really hot outside. Even bringing a handy dandy umbrella won't work. I won't survive the heat.

hehehe.. Nutella. Php 19.75

Sorry.. I finished it up before taking a picture. I can't help it. -_- 

And these are all the things I bought for my birthday. :) ^__^ I'm excited to try the Blue Nails. Hehehe.
