Clothes Shopping for a wedding

 

   Good morning my dear readers! How are you? It’s been a while I know. My dearest friend arrived from her trip a few days ago and I truly missed her. I was thinking that she’ll be resting last Friday, but then what is rest to her? haha! Being that time of month for us ladies, it was the first time that I felt so much pain that day, but I still had to buy some stuff for the wedding that I attended just yesterday. I asked M to accompany me to Makati, then later in the afternoon Lady E texted me that, she will meet up with us.

    From her trip she gave me 2 pasalubongs, a hello kitty shower gel and chocolate, which I was able to try just one piece. When I got home last night, the box was empty. The chocolate was good E, I loved it, thank you thank you.

     We met up around 5PM, and when the clock hit 8PM and we still haven’t found any dress for me, I think E and I felt pressured already. Specially me, we went to The Ramp, first, we saw a really nice black and white dress, but I wanted a cover up for my arms and the SA gave us an impression that she doesn’t know what a cover up is. So we said, to look around at SM Makati, at least we have an option already. Having a budget doesn’t help I guess and ahem being full sized too~ so I never found anything at SM. E and I checked out the new brand Majolica , we loved the palette we saw. I’m pretty sure she’ll give in soon, haha. It’s just, the palette is small for the price, but just maybe.  So, after Majolica, we went to The ramp again, went back for the dress and IT WAS GONE! the SA said they only had, 2 stocks, 2 STOCKS!!? So, now I felt more pressured (Oh by the way, E’s lovey MB was there with us too, hehe) I was happy and thankful E was there with us, I needed guidance for her fashion sense, she found me a black cover up, at the same store where the dress was! So, I bought the black cover up immediately. Then we went to the store near the Kid’s zone, found one prospect but I find it too short for a wedding. But as we went out, found a similar looking dress but much more appropriate for a wedding. FINALLY! along with it, I bought a belt to “accentuate” and what I needed to hide. I actually find it cute , that we had a double date, we all ate at Food choices at Go Greek, I was tired and hungry, but my dysmenorrehea didn’t help finishing my food.

   Anyway, here are pictures …

       I wasn’t able to take pictures of the chocolate sorry

      This was part of her birthday giveaway that I won and inside refer to picture below.

     She personally raved about the brush, and I can’t to try it too.

     Here’s the picture of the dress…

     The dress (thank goodness) was discounted, fromP1,200 to P980, the cover up was around P650 I think and the belt is P450.  All thanks to E~ love you. I just appreciate it a lot ^_^

       So that wraps up for the shopping part, I have other posts that I can’t wait to blog about. On another note, The Hyphen store will beat the Rockwell bazaar.

   There are new items in store for you

 

    Thanks again to my dearest E for being my personal stylist, and to my M for providing the accessories.

     I think shopping for clothes for special occasions is tedious work, haha. I found a lot of clothes though for work more than for the wedding. So, my goal is to save up money and get serious in going back to shape, HA! I need more determination and will power. But I’m not plastic, I can’t give up on rice XD

      By the way, excuse me for the lame title, I can’t think of a good one~ haha! 

 

     Till then!

Event: Make over session at Clinique

 

    Hello everyone, sorry for the delay, was busy with work and I’m sick again. Anyway, here’s my make-over session over at the Clinique counter during Lady E’s birthday party last Saturday.

     When M and I arrived I thought the party was starting already, I saw the birthday girl having her make-up done. Right after she had a short talk, telling everyone what’s in store for the day. So she calls my name first to have my make-up done by Ms. Malou.

        Ms. Malou prepping my face and analyzing my skin type.

       I was told she’s an expert in fixing eyebrows, and was happy she fixed mine.

      Products used in my face…

      For foundation, the Superfit foundie suited my skin type very well. I love it a lot, a bottle costs P1,700, but I say it’s worth the investment too. The benefits of the superfit foundation for a skin type 2:

•   removes excess oil and perspiration and
•   all day wear
•   for skin type’s 234
•   finish: Natural Matte
•   coverage: Moderate to full
•   oil free
•   photo finish

          I was advised to use a much lighter shade of foundation. We did a foundation test, I forgot the exact shade used on me (sorry) but it was a lighter shade than what I usually use. Reason why was because, my face turns red easily, and if I use the shade that actually matches my skin complexion, it would look darker on me. I was really overwhelmed with these information and glad that I now know.

       I love how she applied my eye shadow, too bad I didn’t take a photo of it.

                                      Blushes costs P1,550 at Clinique

           Ms. Malou used the Chubby stick in watermelon for my lips. And here’s the final look.

     With Ms. Malou- my skin care and make-up consultant and on the right my fabulous blogger best friend Lady E.

           With my loving and supportive BF (M), thanks for accompanying me babe

       This is really funny, E, was busy talking with other guests that time, so I told M, to have our picture taken together instead. Oh and little did I know, E was behind us all along. I seriously didn’t know, until I saw my camera. Until now, I still laugh about it. haha~

        I definitely loved my make-over session, and the natural look she gave me. Now the only dilemma is, aside from investing on my skin care with Clinique products, is to also invest on their make-up line. I love LOVE L-O-V-E the superfit foundation and their brushes too. Their brushes were soft and dense enough~

     So that caps of my make-over session. I really had fun and most importantly learned a lot. Thank you Ms. Malou for feedimg me with all the wonderful accurate information. I will definitely go back when I can~ Also thank you to my wonderful new found best friend Lady E.

 

    Anyone of you a fan or a loyal user of Clinique? Have you had a skin consultation lately? Do visit Clinique

 

    Till then!

Event: Lady E spends her birthday at Clinique Rustan’s

 

    It’s official, Happy birthday Lady E! Thanks for inviting me and M, Joy Lyn and Ed to your Clinique party.

    Clinique, Rustan’s Makati threw a party for my special friend Lady E yesterday (feb 26) Activities were, skin care consultation, a short lecture about the 3 step skin care, make over sessions for guests and a raffle prize.

     When M and I arrived the birthday girl was already having her make-up done, our friends Joy and Ed we’re there early since they needed to set up (because of the cupcakes)~ hehe.

       First activity was a short lecture about the 3 step skin care, I learned a lot, and by the looks of it, I am now a Clinique convert from their skin care to make-up line. I forgot the name of the lady who gave the lecture, but she was really nice and pretty too

  * with her is model for the party Ahne

    First part was the skin care then the make-over

                                                         Doing her make-up 

     Right after was the make-over for guests, and Lady E calls my name first, what the? haha. We were given the skin consultation answer sheets first, then the ladies in charge namely - Ms. Malou, Ms. Dindin, Ms. Baby and the lovely Ms. Budit took care of us. They were really friendly and gave us great tips for each of our skin type.

     Ms. Budit, Ms. Malou was the one in charge of me, being up close, she noticed my skin problem ( I was flaking that time), and recommended the products I need to use. I’ve always thought I’m mostly oily, but she said that I had dry skin. So I’m a combination. I’ll be investing on my skin care and will go back to clinique for another consultation and by my own customized 3 step skin care.

     Let me share with you (my dear readers) about the wonderful 3 step skin care. Clinique offers a customized skin care suited for your skin type (they custom fit the products for you) and recommend the following products that you need to have great skin. I was advised to use to 7 day scrub cream rinse off formula, for my flaking. Clarifying moisture lotion 2 (for dry to combination skin) and the dramatically different moisturizing lotion

     We were given sample sizes to try, and for tonight I did what I was advised and it was wonderful, which is why it turned me to a Clinique convert. Now all I have to do is invest on my skin care.

     I will be making a different post for my make-over. Btw, we had cupcakes who my friend Joy Lyn custom made for the party.

Other random photos

   Clinique also offers men’s skin line so for my friend John ray, visit their counters na, hehe~

                              This is how our answer sheet looked like

                                                   Guests and family

    I won this during the question and answer portion, but I gave it to Joy instead, just because I want her to be kikay too~

     A light green eyeshadow, green compliments all skin types, so I really hope she uses this.

     Oh and our men was also given a 3 step skin care sample for them to try

                   The giveaway goodies courtesy of Clinique~ Thank you

    Inside…

 

Aside from the Clinique goodies,

   Lady E also gave gifts, a box of bangles to choose from and I chose this

    A lot of people were passing by the Clinique booth and even joined the supposedly private event, and even asked if they can have bangles too? (whoa) a little bit thick skinned in my opinion, haha~ I should’ve suggested to have put a private party sign or something. hehe~ There were still a few bangles left though

   The birthday girl, generous as always wanted to have a raffle. Whoever wins gets a free Clinique Chubby stick. She asked the boys to go pick the papers and it was M who picked first~ mind you, randomly (I don’t have anything to do with it) and when Lady E opened the paper it was ME! haha, she says: “ano ba yan favoritism ba to?” haha! Joy Lyn also won which was also picked randomly by the BF.

                  This is Clinique’s new lip balm line, it sells for around P900+

                              The birthday girl’s new set of friends

                      l-r: Lady E, the BF, me, Joy Lyn and Edwin

       As we summed up the day, it was a unique birthday experience. I’ve never seen a blogger spend her birthday at Rustan’s, let alone be sponsored by a wonderful brand. I hope she enjoyed her day, BF was also sweet to buy a simple cake for her, as she calls it alay (haha~ she’s crazy like that).

 

        Thank you Clinique, I will definitely go back for your skin care regimen~

 

       Till then!

 

       Meow..Meow..

FINALLY! 2 bloggers meet~

 

  Quick post…

     FINALLY! the 2 bloggers meet (just before her party event tomorrow) Lady E and I

* photo courtesy of Lady E  

I had only 3 hours of sleep, thanks to the inconsiderate person at home~  so since E wanted to go back to the mall, I decided to meet with her. It was crazy, ever since I started blogging, she became my first friend ever in the blogosphere world.  For some reason, even before meeting her I felt at ease and like we we’re old friends already.

    So we met at SM Makati near the Sakura spot, and as soon as I saw her, ran and all hugs and hello’s. And that’s our first time meeting each other. I accompanied her to buy the things she needs, then had dinner at BIZU Greenbelt~

  Just random photos, since we were so busy talking about our lives and stuff. Maybe when I get to eat here again, will blog about BIZU. I’m definitely so happy meeting her. I also got to meet her BF MB.

    Before we reached the exit at SM Makati, E, mentioned about a lost cat. So I said, aww, poor kitty then, handed me this:

 

     I didn’t want to accept it  yet but she insisted, will blog more on this next time. I won’t show it to you guys yet, but will post by Sunday. It’s exciting, promise! Well, for me that is~

 

     I’m just really really happy that we finally got to meet each other in person~

 

    Till then!

 

   Meow..Meow..
