Makeup+Shoe haul! (Isadora & Rossi Milano)



Sick blogger coming throughhhhh! Hahaha.
I've been wanting to post this haul about a week ago but I was busy therefore it was posted now.
(Literally facepalmed myself because....)

Well, the reason why I had this haul is because my prom is coming up and new beauty...stuff needed, hahaha!
(Stay tuned for my upcoming post that I'm so excited about and its me getting ready for my prom, haha)


I literally can't think of anything to say right now that would make the introduction look bigger(?)
 so..let's get to the point, haha!


(Oh wait! While I was uploading the pictures here in the post, I remembered the reason why I bought another brand of makeup.. Well, as I've been a fan of the big cosmetic lines, I've heard of one certain cosmetic line that I've been wanting to try and that is, IsaDora/Isadora. I actually tested the products that I bought in their line before buying it and I was pretty impressed. All thanks to Lamcy Plaza's Lifestyle branch! Haha.)



Let's start off with the shoes, well, I don't have much heels but I've been using these a lot because
1. They're comfortable!
2.  Come on! It's Rossi Milano, haha!



Black and Gold Ankle Heels
Rossi Milano


Now this is a pair that I've been wearing a lot whenever I got the chance to.
You can turn a casual outfit to sassy with this one!
Totally love it!


Classic Black 2-inch heels
Rossi Milano


Here are the few products that I tried in IsaDora's line and certainly wanted to take home with me:


Build-Up Mascara, Extra Volume, Waterproof
IsaDora



Waterproof Mascara, IsaDora


Moisturizing Lip Glosss, Red Carpet, #21
IsaDora


Can I just say that this is the tiniest packaging for a concealer, totally amazed at how small it looks, hahaha! 



Perfect Coverstick Concealer
IsaDora


Concealer shade: Medium, #2


Well, that's all for today's post! I hope y'all had fun and it would be cool if you tried all the products here in this post. (Hashtag no regrets, hahaha)


Much love,

Kim's birthday!



Hey bloggers!


This blog post is dedicated to my one and only Kimmy who I promised that I will post something about her in my blog.

To start off, here's a little (pretty late) speech for her:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BBY! Hahaha. (omg this is awkward) 
You have grown into a wonderful girl with great knowledge and I am so proud of you. You've given me unforgettable moments and I hope that'll continue. Whenever you need me, I'm always here. Don't hesitate to call, message or whatsoever. 
Well, that's all. Happy (belated) birthday!
I love youuuuuu! xx

P.S, the dinner in Hardrock cafe was yummy!


(Assume that there's this long pause after the speech because I'm..still confused on what to say next.)

Oh dear, I'm running out of words to say  type.

Anyways, here are a few pictures that we took:

With my girls!
Left to right: Knikola, Kim, Christine, Catherine, Andrea and...me. Hahaha.


Yes, you guessed it, the birthday girl is the one on the right.
With the really cute meow sweater.





With the lovey dovey weirdos. Hahaha. 











Although a lot of you won't be able to relate to this post, I just wanted to share it with you guys. Hahaha.
(Happy ((belated)) birthday again, Kimmy!)
Hope you readers enjoyed!

Much love,
E

January Favorites 2014!



It's finally January 31st and oh my gosh, it's actually February tomorrow!!!

(Man, time flies so fast.)

Well, to me, January has been one stressful month and wow, the first chapter of 2014 is now complete!
This saddens me too though, because my high school days are nearing its end.
I'm very thankful to overcome tons of obstacles this month and I want to share my happiness with y'all!
(...by blogging about it. Umm...)



Okay, back to my topic.

JANUARY FAVORITES!!

Let's start off with my favorite January tracks that have officially been stuck in my head the whole month!
Hahaha.


1. Beyonce- XO



I just love listening to this song when I'm outside and just roaming about, it's got a light feel to the tone and it just soothes me for no reason! 

2. Lorde- Team



I've been loving Lorde's songs but this has been, by far the best song I've heard from her. From lyrics to its tone, I just love it!

3. A Great Big World ft. Christina Aguilera


Oh my gosh. This song just..speaks to me in every way. (whattt)
I've been loving this song so bad that I actually had the habit of always wanting to listen to it atleast once a day. (that's weird, i know) 
This song makes me sad but the lyrics,tone, everything. I love it loads! Haha.


Well, that's all for the favorite music section, haha.

Next off, we've got the favorite series of the month.
Hmm, to be honest, I've been watching loads of series but my most favorite would be:


1. American Horror Story


I am a big fan of creepy/scary series and oh my gosh, AHS has finally creeped me out the most in their recent season which is American Horror Story: Coven. Apparently, their season 3 just ended (which is the coven) and the last episode was just...mindblowing. Tons of plot twists and the storyline all throughout was amazing!

2. How I Met Your Mother 


ROBIN AND BARNEY..Well..I SHIP THEM SO HARD YOU HAVE NO IDEA, HAHAHA (Fangirl moment, sorry.) It hurts me so bad that this is the final season..but I really do hope they change their mind, hahaha. This serie has never failed at giving me mindblowing moments and man, this show is just..legen (wait for it..) dary! Haha!

3. The Carrie Diaries



 CARRIE DIARIES!!! AHHHH. (Wow, I've got a lot of fangirling moments here in this blogpost, hahaa.) This serie has got me falling for Sebastian Kydd and their 70's-90's outfits.


Well..as you noticed, there's no beauty section here in the January favorites is because..I've been using the sames ones that I showed in my blog post, "What I use when I do my makeup". 
If you haven't checked it out yet, 


Well, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!

Much love everyone! xx

What I use when I do my makeup!


This blog post is all dedicated to my makeup products that eventually either make me look like a person or a coloring book. (Depends on how I put them, hahaha!)



To start off, I recently bought makeup brushes, let's just say, my previous brushes started wearing out, therefore the result is me buying new ones. Anyways, I haven't used them for certain events yet but I did try them before putting them here in this blog post and they actually turned out to be really good. 
(Reason why I'm stating this is because most brushes turn out applying makeup to one's face really bad, resulting in bad application) 




I've been recently using this Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse as my foundation and it has always been helping my skin and so as the turn out in the end. And as for the little bottle magingy next to it, is also a foundation but also a concealer. (I don't know if this is making sense but that's what's written in the little bottle magingy!)


I'm a sucker for bronzers and blushes but my favorite has always been Red Earth with the shade of Sun Flash. The blush powder, on the other hand, has no name for its shade but let's settle to the basic. It's pink, hahahaha.



I've always been a fan for compact powders, concealers and mascaras and the one's I've been using are Max Factor's Creme Puff which I absolutely adore because it doesn't really show that you have powder on and it looks natural. The shade of the powder is Candle Glow and I highly recommend it for the people with fair skin! For my eyes, since I have a problem with black circles under my eyes(It's a gene thing, got it from my Dad, I suppose.) I always have to wear an under eye concealer just so I won't look like a dead person walking around. And I've been using Max Factor's concealer with the shade of Fair and it really helps my dark circles to somehow disappear. Now, for the mascara that I've been using, it has been Rimmel London's Scandal Eyes. My aunt bought this for me all the way from Italy, so thanks, aunt! Haha! Anyways, if you love compact powders and all the other products in this picture, I recommend you try using them!


Wow, this is actually the longest post I've ever done without it being pictures only. Haha! Anyways, I love lipsticks. Actually, whatever's in this blog post right now, I absolutely adore them all and yeah, I think that's obvious! Hahaha. Okay then, the lipsticks/lipbalms that I've been using either lately or since before are these ones. Starting from left to right, I have the Long Last Lipstick with the shade of High Voltage Pink and this is a kind of lipstick that would look hot when you wear those bad girl outfits. (Umm, what? Haha!) Next, I have a lipstick that I got from Philippines and its by Ever Bilena Cosmetics with the shade of Strawberry cone. The shade of this lipstick is so cute and it also smells so good! (Literally smells like strawberry.) Anyways, next to the strawberry cone lipstick, I have the Constance Carroll with the shade of True Pink. A super girly color, lets just say! Next to that, I have, I believe a drugstore lipstick. It has no brand but its safe and cool too. The shade is dark red but as applied, it gives out a light red thing so if you actually want a dark red, you should try applying more until you get the color you're satisfied with! And lastly, the BabyLips by Maybelline with the shade of Cherry Me. I've been using this because it gives out the color I just need when applying makeup. They're not too red but they aren't that light either. So, if you want a natural red thing going on in your lips, you should try that! :)

Shades
Left to right: High Voltage Pink, Strawberry cone, True Pink, Dark Red and Cherry Me.


This has actually been my longest...post..EVER. Hahaha! This was also supposed to be posted yesterday but I was actually busy yesterday that I didn't have time to do it, haha! 
But better late than never! 
Anyways, I hope you all enjoyed this beauty related post and I can't wait to write more for you all reading this and actually getting entertained. Haha!

Much love, 
E

Note: I've been using these products for a long time now and yes, I recommend it but if such that these don't apply to you, I hope it still helps. And no, this is not a sponsored post.

Happiest 5k on the planet!



As December arrived, our countdown to the color run began with pure excitement.
From stressing to who would come and actually make it to the unbelievable moment that the color run is actually happening, it was a success and I couldn't be more happier to be with these gals!


Here in Dubai, our color run was scheduled on December 14 at Autodrome.
The place was enormous and the weather was great.
All was a great start for the color run!

Despite the small issue we had before going to the run, the experience was amazing and unforgettable.
And the best part is, I spent that moment with amazing people.




















Here's a super fail edited video of the color run festival that was conducted after the run:




Excuse the screams, the fail edit and so on. The video editor I used was experiencing a glitch and it drove me crazy!




Anyways, to finish off this post, as they said, friends who color run together, stay together.


Hope y'all enjoyed this one.

Shoutout to Janina for some of the shots taken.

Much love

Clean Up Drive and a day with our PE teacher.


Hello everyone!

Far Eastern Private School attended a clean up drive at Mamzar Open Beach.
The drive was at November 29, 2013 and different communities attended the drive with an urge to 
sustain the cleanliness of the beach. 
We had to start our day early as the drive commenced at 7AM and eventually ended at 11AM.
It was tiring but the thought that we all helped each other to clean up the beach was worth it.
As my last year in high school, this was a memorable experience for me and my fellow seniors.

Here are some pictures we took when we had the time:











After the clean up drive, our PE teacher casually invited us to go to a mall and just "chill out" for awhile.
We all agreed and set off to an interesting mall which I barely go to, (therefore I found it interesting), and so..
We all decided to go to Al Ghurair Mall. 
While we were there, we had a fun time eating (of course), impersonating other teachers and dishing out about some funny moments.
For a while, we forgot how tired we were from the clean up drive and we probably even occupied half of the food court.
As they said, the more the merrier.

Here are a few pictures we took:

Hello RJAY! :D






Hats off to this lady who never failed to amuse us with this beautiful sand castle she's making! 










Hope y'all enjoyed this post!
More to come.

Much love,
E
