Strip It + Kabuki + SweetShuga's Giveaway

Hi! It's nice to see you all again :D

You know how crazy life + work gets and it hinders you from doing the things you want to do? Yep, we all have them. I've been online though but mostly it's for doing online work and editing and typing manuscript (nothing too grand but it's so fun to do! I wish this was my line of work)

What have I got these past few days:

Bought STRIP IT!
Because of the good results I got from using STRIP IT's P160.00 trial pack, I ordered 2 big jar wax at P295 each
over at their multiply store. As usual, Arlette was very accomodating and nice. Though their 2-for-280 promo was over but anyway, what's a 15 peso difference, right?
I've just used the first one yesterday and it's still good. Got a lot of extra wax strips now so I didn't have too much trouble. I've just used about half, so all in all I have roughly 4 months worth of hair-free skin for less than P600 ($12)! Cool, huh? :D


I might be weird to the lot of you but I didn't have a single brush before! No foundation brush, no stippling brush, not even a powder brush, so I've always wanted them :( Ok so I have a cheap eyeshadow brush which I bought to apply the Skinfood Brightening Eye Serum around my eye but that doesn't even count. Hayyy I'm such a loser!
But I'm a winner now (hahaha corny talaga!) because I bought Ellana Minerals Kabuki Brush from the Kadayawan Bazaar and i have never touched a brush so soft. The store sells Ellana Minerals so I bought also Ellana Minerals Espresso Con Panna Oil Absorbing Finishing Mineral Powder (hingal! hingal!). The brush and the 4g minerals were all for P500 ($10), so yakang-yaka naman. Also bought the Human Loves Nature Mandarin Orange sun protection lip balm for just Php50.00

I went to The Body Shop (window shopping lang, ang mahal dun) because I saw this adorable skin care line with the Japanese motif. They had cleansers, creams, etc and the packaging was so cuuuute. Haaay. The store smells so good too.

Let's all enter this amazing giveaway! Goodluck to all of us :D

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 ...
