Butterfly Award and MakeupDiary.Org's Giveaway

Thanks so much to King of 25,000-megawatt smile for passing on the Butterfly Award to me:

Rules are pretty simple: Write something about yourself, link it back to the one who sent it to you and then pass it on to 7 people. :

About me:

- I would rather go without sleep altogether than get up early in the morning.

- When I was a kid, I was allergic to egg and chicken. I got yucky itchy things on my hands and feet whenever I ate stuff that had those as ingredients, but I still loved those kinds of food I ate them anyway and eventually I became immune.

- I have recurring Trichotillomania. I developed this habit in 6th Grade. I usually stop when the effect becomes obvious but I start doing it again especially during stressful times.

- I'm currently watching The Golden Girls on DVD. It's all I ever watch these days, quite frankly. It's really funny how the clothes they wore back then are showing up again these days. The remarkable characters make me look forward to growing older with my loved ones and remind me that I still have my best years ahead of me.

I would like to pass this award on to some of my latest followers and commenters. I hope to get to know you better, too!

- Lolita of The Good Lolita
- Julie of The Pink-Flavored Pen
- Nisa of Nisa's Beauty Room
- Amz88
- Charles a.k.a. wickeRmoss
- Rae of Scatterbrain Adventures 

-Catmare of The Beauty Experiment

It's okay, if you guys have done this already. I just wanna show some love, too. ^^

Monday. Bleagh. + Too Much Blush Giveaway

Well, my Monday is off to a bad start. I was 31 minutes late for work. I slept through the alarm. So dumb.

I finally got to watch UP last Friday.

It only opened here last week, can you believe it? I was crying like five minutes into the movie. It was just so sweet. But don't let that keep you from watching it because you'll be laughing and smiling long after the movie ends. Which, IMO is better than certain movies which start of funny but makes you cry at the end. I HEART PIXAR MOVIES MUCHLY. I do regret watching a kiddie movie on a holiday, though because it was so noisy in the theater and there were so many disruptions. Also, the restaurant we went to afterwards was so crowded as well. I was so unhappy with the service. I did feel better after getting my favorite vanilla milkshake at DQ, though.

I watched a lot of cheesy TV shows on Saturday. I also ate balut and practiced putting on falsies.

Forgive the puffy cheeks pose.
I can't do anything about it as my cheeks are NATURALLY PUFFY. *dies

Sorry for the crappy camphone pics. Using my camera feels like such a chore lately. And besides, do you really want to look at a high res image of balut? Trust me, you don't. Haha.

Also, I have decided that I am not gonna post any large pics of myself here until I become at least a bit decent at Photoshop, or get a better camera.

I watched a nice movie on the computer on Sunday. It's a Korean movie called "Le Grand Chef."

The food looked so good, and it also made me cry. The only thing that could have made this movie better was if the bad guy were hot. WHY WASN'T THE BAD GUY HOT? AT ALL?

Can't wait for Friday.

More Cheap Thrills and Giveaways

Oh wow, so it's Friday again. ( I could have sworn it was only this morning that I was complaining about the long week ahead of me.) And it's a holiday for some of us in my part of the world, so hooray!.

On a personal note, the 21st of every month is really special to me, too.

Been meaning to post this:

More cheap thrills!

5 pc. Nichido Brush Set: PHP 188-
ELF Plumping Lip Glaze in Fire Coral PHP 124.75
ELF Duo Eyeshadow Cream in Mocha Swirl PHP 124.75
Ever Bilena Extreme Lipstick in I'm Yours PHP 150-

(Local Products REPREZNT. Haha.)
* USD-PHP: 1 is to 50 (sometimes more, sometimes less)

My Thoughts:

The brush set is pretty. It comes with a face brush, an eyeshadow brush, a lip brush, a spoolie and a brush/comb. I like the wooden handles but the brushes are nothing spectacular. I like the envelope thingy it came in, though. I might use it for better brushes, but I'm keeping the spoolie and comb because I think those are pretty much the same everywhere.

If you've been here before, you probably already know about my love for this stuff. I can't shut up about it. I got the second lightest color this time, and it shows up better on my lips. (Pics to follow, maybe)

The Duo Eyeshadow Cream is very cute. It was a lot of trouble choosing just one, but I wanted to try it out first. I got Mocha Swirl because I like the colors but I really should have gotten Butter Pecan because it's got the lightest shade. I can't use this as base for a lot of my eyeshadows because the colors don't match. I like the colors of this on it's own, though you just need to set it with something.

I haven't formed an opinion on the EB Extreme Lipstick yet. When I swatched the tester, I got a very pretty frosted looking pink and some gold in certain lights. I don't get the same color from my tube, so I think I need to break it in or something (like shoes.) I think it's also too moist. When you use it so there's not much staying power. I fix this problem by applying something beforehand so that it would have something to grab onto. (Clear ELF Glaze to the rescue!). Another thing I don't like about it: the weird flavor. The ELF glaze helps with that, too.

Anyway, up until recently, my local product purchases have been shots in the dark. I didn't really know what I was doing, but I have found a forum with lots of interesting recommendations. So next time I buy something, I'd be making more informed choices (unlike a few days ago, when I bought a liquid eyeliner that could double as an ice-pick. Whole other story. ) Stay tuned!

My Entry:

Ladylike Too by iheartkitsch featuring Miss Selfridge

I actually registered for an account at Polyvore two years ago (according to my Polyvore profile) but this was the first time I actually finished something. I like pastels and neutrals together, but I don't like to be too color coordinated. I put in some Clinique cosmetics in there because I find the simple and clean look of Clinique's packaging very attractive.

Thanks for a fun giveaway K.C.!

Funkiimonkee'c Funny Face Contest/Giveaway

Hello everyone! There's a really cool contest going on over at Funkiimonkee's. The prizes are totally awesome, too. You can read more about it HERE.

I was gonna join earlier but I was looking for a larger copy of the image I want to use. This is an edited version I used for something else before. Ha-ha. For some reason I like showing this every chance I get, because the reactions of people are so varied.

I have no shame. At least online.

Anyway, about the pic: It was taken around Halloween time. My sister was busy on the computer, and I was as usual bugging her. I was making Ju-On noises and making faces like I was a victim of Sadako in Ringu. We're both big fans of Asian Horror movies.

It's supposed to be scary, but it cracks me up everytime. I have a weird sense of humor. Sorry if you get nightmares. ^^

Best of luck to everyone who joined!
