New Lipgloss for August

"They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself."
- Andy Warhol

I was bumming around the mall and I went to an HBC store. There I found the nicest, richest shade of lipgloss ever! It's almost pigmented like a lipstick, without that heavy, thick feeling, plus it's enriched with Vitamin E and C, too! Because it's San-San Cosmetics, you can always be assured that their products won't make a dent in your pockets. On top of everything, San-San Lipgloss #2 is priced at P62.00 only (approx. less than $2)--- I have to admit it's a sweet find!


1st - one swipe
2nd - two swipes

Currently I use Terra Tints 70% Organic tinted lipgloss from Alba Botanicals, which I bought at Healthy Options for P125.00 (approx $3). I like Terra Tints as I have itchy, dry lips sometimes and the minty cooling effect of Terra Tints is a welcome relief. But I discovered that I needed a brighter tint than what they offer, since they only have earth-toned colors.

I'm just going to empty my Alba Terra Tints and use the San-San for a change. Too bad that San-San isn't all-natural. I love using organic, because I feel safe with it. But I just hope using San-San isn't all that terrible.

    I have a number of cosmetics from San san. I love their Lip Shimmer #4. It's bronzy and perfect for my skin tone.

    Hmm. I might as well drop by hbc and try to look for that lip gloss.

Schoolgirl by Osamu Dazai: Melancholic Contemplation

Arriving all the way from USA, I had a tiny traveler plop down right in front of my desk. The moment I held the book, I immediately focused long and hard on the book cover. I've had my small share of contemporary Japanese novels and each had very interesting designs, but not one is as gently arresting as this Schoolgirl by Osamu Dazai published by One Peace Books . Soft yet stark. I'm not one to judge a book by its cover, but it certainly is a good way to hold the interest of the readers. A closer look at the cover would remind one of things that are "beautiful in its simplicity". Everybody knows the Japanese aesthetics, a "set of ancient ideals that include wabi (transient and stark beauty), sabi (the beauty of natural patina and aging), and yûgen (profound grace and subtlety). * " Reflecting at these values, it's wonderful to observe how the cover follows the flow of wabi and yugen, isn't it? But a book should offer more than...

VOV Castledew Eyeshadow Palette

I've always wanted an eyeshadow palette though I'm not sure if eyeshadows are my thing. I just love Castledew because it's so princessy and shiny and jewel-like and perfect. A Castle dew eyeshadow palette in all its shiny pretty glory! This is available in the La Core stall (korean beauty shop). Every time I passed by their stall, I always ask to view the palette and I always jump up and down in delight when I see it. Now I have it! MUAHAHAHA! I'll try to play around with the colors! See you!

Books in the Mail: HarperCollins Stash for August-September

I've just about settled here in Manila, yet my address is giving me a headache. I've only been used to a residential address, not a condominium unit number so I'm always worried about lost mail. I didn't think that my Harper Collins books would find its way to me. Until one fine morning: I was absolutely crazy happy. I have very little faith in Manila postal offices due to horrendous reports of misdirected mail, opening of packages, and even high taxation of mailed goods which is so ridiculous #thirdworldproblems and all that. I received two packages from Harper Collins on the same week, so you can just imagine me jumping for joy. Here are the books I received from several months' worth: I am an avid fan of Harper Collins, even before they noticed me and my blog. They are one of the publishing houses that I love because their editors and agents are AMAZING! They source out new authors and get them published, and those are testament to their great ...
