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.

Places: PaperRockScissors the Perfect Craft Store in Davao

Listening to: "It's Time" - Imagined Dragons Hello everyone! This post is not exactly skin-care related, but I'd like to share something else tonight. Yes, it's a craft shop :) kind of weird, but you know my recently-aquired love for crafting and sewing, right? However nice Davao City is and its how accommodating its stores and establishments may be, hobby shops are definitely NOT dime a dozen from where I am. I can barely find things I want. National chains for school supplies and crafting items are not much help. But maybe that's my fault: I don't get out a lot. Well if I didn't go out last night for a dinner at Zabadani Cafe ( Grilled Syrian Chicken is just too yummy to pass up!), I would never know that what I needed was right under my nose! A recently-opened shop called Paper Rock Scissors is one of my recent finds. Located just a minute away from where I work is the hobby shop of my dreams! It is so quaint and pretty and houses a lot of craf...

Atoning

Okay so it's not a clever title. Well, I am currently reading Atonement by Ian McEwan (wow, I've been at this book for aaaages) and I am trying to atone for the lack of posts lately! We were having--- actually we still are having a tough time at home. We're moving!!! Been pretty busy with the repairs of the new home and packing all our stuff. *Sniff, Sniff* I feel really sad leaving our home. We've lived there for around 13 years. Hopefully we can all scramble and leave before September 18. And ugh, it's such a downer to spend September 19 unpacking and decorating our home. It's my b irthday , I was planning to host a Crab Party! :( Anyway, I thought I would just like to share my favorite quotes on Atonement , if you don't mind. I love this book. Everytime I read a passage that struck me, I hastily jot it down. The book is wonderfully written, it is so erudite! The story itself makes me contemplate on the dynamics of family, the strength of imagination ...

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 ...
