Attempt: Asian Doll

Pansin ko lang na very much in ngayon ang Asian look. Bilang true-blue Asian naman talaga ako, why not i-attempt ang Asian doll peg?! Very much Korean/Chinese doll ang peg ko in my mind while doing this look.

My intent is to capitalize on my Chinese heritage. Sige, check natin kung achieve ba in the end.

FOTD: Stepping out of my Comfort Zone (11.09.2012)

Hello everyone! I'm trying to blog everyday. ;)

It's definitely TGIF day today! As I trade my slacks and collared blouses for a casual top and jeans, I got a little inspired to do something more playful with my makeup. I usually just use browns and neutral shades for my eyes because:

        1. I'm no expert in eye makeup and neutrals are almost fool-proof.

        2. The office setting calls for subdued makeup.

If I botched today's FOTD, please be kind. :D I attempted to use lovely shades of turquoise and blue from ELF and Etude House. Heehee. The result? Ta-Da! Read after the jump for the products that I used.

August Favorites: Maybelline, Avon, VMV, TonyMoly, Palgantong

The thing with this passion for cosmetics: it comes with a constant desire to test new products. There is one and every product for each need and want imaginable. I liken it to getting to know oneself; along the way of every product try is a chance to discover really good ones that raise our confidence a wee bit higher.

While we're at the half of September, I thought I'd run through a couple of products that were in my mental 'Favorites' list for the month of August. These are products which I have tested last month and found to be very effective.

Without further ado, these are my 'hit' products for August:

1. Maybelline Baby Lips Cellular Repair Balm in Smoothing Cherry

The kikay girl in me has been a sucker for lip balms since I was 10. I've gone from cult favorite Chapstick to Nivea to Blistex and back but I've never really been very satisfied with it. It tended to make my lips peel and a bunch of other effects which left me wondering when whether lip balm was really as essential as many beauty gurus point out. But this one from Maybelline really works for me.

True to its promise of supple, smooth and hydrated baby soft lips, this is my HG lip balm. No more peeling and rough-to-the-touch lips! :) 

Plus points for not having a chemical taste to it and the yummy scent of cherry. ♥
