Turning 23 <3

HEY GUYS!

Today's my birthday (greet me! xD) and you know what that means: ZOMG GIFTS! Haha, the family have given me a little bit of money (enough to pay for the stuff I want to order)

So here's a list of what I expect to be getting:

1. Ellana Minerals Finishing Powder 4g and Baby Buki Brush


1. I want this again because this powder rocks my socks. It's oil-absorbing, sheer, finishes my bb cream to a perfect matte... and the espresso con panna fits my skin like a.... stocking? Lol, like a second skin :) Also will be getting another Baby Buki brush, since my sister kind of stole it. When I arrived home, she shouted from the bedroom: "Aicha, I kind of stole that tiny brush you have, thanks ha!" Ugh. My evil, evil sister.


2. Skinfood Spree @ Mostacchio's

My first spree ever and I'm anxious and excited! I wish I can have it sooner but the estimated date of arrival would be at the last week of October. I hope that I can stretch my patience as I wait for it to come to me. I haven't paid the 50% deposit first because she gave me a BPI account number to deposit it to, and I'm unable to pay because banks aren't open on Saturdays and Sundays, and Monday's a holiday.

But I'm lucky I got to participate in this spree, as it ends I think this week. Mostacchio basically has the cheapest price out of all pre-sellers for Skinfood. Here's what I ordered:

1. Peach Sake Emulsion (P480 Mostacchio vs. P1,200 store) - pore tightening and sebum control
2. Peach Sake Toner (P480 vs. P1,000+ ) - same; the Peach Sake line is one of the best Skinfood's got to offer in oil control and pore minimizing
23Mushroom Multi-Care BB Cream (P680 vs. P 1,500+)- heard great reviews of this BB cream over the Aloe and the Ginko one. I have the Aloe BB cream and I think I'm gonna run out by the end of october! :)
4. Kiwi Yogurt Mask (P260 vs. P580)- Exfoliation, oil control and awesome.

The total would be P1,900! A big amount for me, but comparing it to taking that money and buying directly from the Skinfood Store I would barely get the 2 peach sake together!


3. Skinfood Black Garlic Emulsion

I ordered this from Frances' Beauty For A Living blog in her Blogsale-for-a cause. I bought it because it's Skinfood and I would really like to try the garlic emulsion. It sounds kind of funny, slathering garlic all over your face but it's supposed to be revitalizing for the skin and we all know that garlic has great antioxidant properties! It's selling for P300, too! Lots of loots to buy there, so if you haven't yet, you should!

4. Mistine Extra Whitening Lotion and Deo


Been hearing great things about this brand! I think the whitening aspect of it won't really work -_- but anyway, the 200ml lotion is P180 and the 30ml deodorant is P90, which is cheaper than my regular lotion and deo. Wala lang, just wanted to order! Ever have one of those days that you just feel like "I'm gonna get that" blah? Yeah. XD

I hope by the time I turn 24, I'll be super beautiful because of what I bought today! LOL! It's alright to dream, I guess.

See you all around!

It's Called A Break Up Because It's Broken

There are those times that we beg, pray, wish with all our might that there's a guide that will tell us what to do or what decisions to make during life's most crushing, crucial parts. Well, guess what, one book on how to get over one is now available in your nearest bookstore. I consider myself one of the very lucky few, I've never experienced a real break-up. Yet. But once, I nearly did and I felt all the mass of the entire universe was sitting on my chest. I can't imagine what it must feel like for the real thing. I think I will combust entirely :( I read this book, It's Called A Break Up Because It's Broken by Greg Behrendt and Amira Ruotola-Behrendt , hoping to get some sense of what to do when time calls for it. I'd like to get equipped for that when the situation comes, so this one book is seriously one of my best arsenals. The book teaches women/ladies/girls how to keep their dignity during and even after a break-up. Most of the time we have no idea

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

The Dark Wind from My Future: A Review of The Stranger by Albert Camus

Ever get that blurred vision during a hazy, warm summer's day, when the air is thick with humidity then all you can see is the clear sky with no trace of clouds, and the road is a strip of hot air forming a translucent mirage, and for some strange reason, the sun keeps on getting in your eye and you just can't think straight? That's what I felt when I read The Stranger by Albert Camus . Even during at night when fluorescent lights are lit up for everything they're worth, my eyes still squint from overexposure from a scorching sun and mirage from the asphalt roads; the same way when the bright noonday sun slashes from between the rustling leaves of tall trees. I've heard of Albert Camus before, as he is big in the Philosopher's circles and his works have so far branched out into the Literary pools that one can't help but at least hear of his name. The one thing that I am always curious about is Philosophy, but I can never keep up with this or that schoo
