Sicksicksicksicksick!

Jul 24

I’m so over feeling/being sick. The migraines lead to nausea which leads to my head in the toilet. Not fun times. Luckily, I have great coworkers that rather have me go home to feel better (which I’m getting there, thank God) then die at work.

Because I’m at home, I had the chance to edit my shopping haul pictures and post them!

07/22/10 SHOP: Military JKT & HELLZ.

*Metropark military routed shoulder jacket & Hellz Bellz tank.

07/22/10 SHOP: Moto Knit Jacket.

*Metropark pleather & knit hoody jacket.

07/22/10 SHOP: Testing out new products!

*MAC blush in “warm soul”, HD Professional foundation, Sephora “IT” foundation brush, & Urban Decay Eye Shadow Primer.

Missing: Chloé perfume. (Hey, I can cross that off my wish/check list!)

PRODUCT REVIEW:

*HD Professional Foundation 4.5/5 STARS!
My Problem: I have very sensitive skin. If I get a pimple I don’t have to play with it to scar, it automatically scars or leaves darkening spots from when it disappeared. I also have sun spots, so uneven skin color and redness on my cheeks.
Result: Like many foundations it’s medium to full coverage. With the problems that I have, I need the full coverage to cover the redness. I tested it for 2 days and it stays on without touching up. It doesn’t give you an oily look after wearing it for hours and feels light on your skin. It evens skin tones and was worth the $40 that I paid for.
What you might want: A good loose powder to back it up. I’m currently using (what I have been using for years) MAC blot powder. I think if i could find a better powder, it would complete the foundation.

*Sephora “IT” foundation brush 4/5 STARS!
Of course I spent $30 on a new foundation brush to go with my new foundation :) I was using a MAC foundation brush and the Sephora brush is giving the MAC brush a run for its money. The Sephora brush has taklon (sp?) brissels and it applies the foundation out smoothly and evenly. The aluminum handle makes it light-weight and did I mention that the handle is hot pink? I think I need the whole “IT” line :)

*Urban Decay Eye Shadow Primer 5/5 STARS!
My Problem: My eye shadow fades and sometimes clumps on my eyelid crease. My MAC Fluidline bleeds and smears after 3 hours.
Results: Your eyeshadow is bolder in color and it keeps eye makeup in place! It doesn’t smear after 3 hours like how it usually does. It keeps your eye makeup and even brow makeup looking fresh for hours! Usually after a few hours, my powder filled brows begin to start fading, but with this primer, it stays put!

Shopping For Make-up.

Jul 22

I’m a huge sucker for make-up. But 8 out of 10 times when I go shopping for it (usually Sephora or MAC) no one helps me and I’m usually on my own.

For a few weeks I’ve been looking for a foundation that lasts throughout the day without touch-ups and something that can keep eye make-up from wearing or running without cleaning and re-touching.

I went shopping a few days ago (and yes I will post my haul later) and paid a visit to Sephora. I remember one of my friends saying how HD Professional Foundation was really amazing and one of my old co-workers saying that Urban Decay Eye Shadow Primer was really good for eye make-up. So of course I bought them. I’m going to test it out tomorrow while I’m work to put it to test. (I’ll post the review with my haul tomorrow. I’m blogging on my iPad.)

Anyone has suggestions on make-up they love? I want to try different products.

2010 Wish/Check List.

Jul 21

072110_wish

This wish/check list was a little bit more difficult for me to do because there isn’t that many things I really want right now. So this list isn’t as big as my 2009 wish/check list. Asterisks are what I do really want though!

01. Louis Vuitton Graphite iPad case** (I have the matching iPhone cover),
02. Gucci sunglasses. (Ok. I actually almost got these instead of the Louis Vuitton aviators that I got last year. I tried it on again, and it doesn’t look as cute on me as they did a year ago. Maybe I’ll try them again. The style is pretty old though.)
03. Nintendo DSXL in Midnight Blue** (An upgrade from my DSLITE.)
04. Louis Vuitton Vernis Alma bag.** (I’ve been sweating this bag for a long time. The problem I have is the colors that are currently out. Red is amazing, but we’ll see.)
05. Pokemon Black & White Nintendo DS games. (The release date is next year though.)
06. Chloe perfume.** (Smells amazing.)
07. iPhone 4 in black. (I’m content with my 3GS, but I’m not OK with it always saying “No Sim Card”. It’s really annoying.)

presents

My BF is the best! He bought me random Hello Kitty things. He knows how much I love the keycaps and other crap, haha :)

Going through old posts.

Jul 15

As I was, enter title here, I saw a wish/check list that I had made in November 2009. I’m going to update it. It’s sad because it just proves how much of a label whore I truly am. *sigh.


01) DJ Hero Renegade / Jay-Z edition I got the regular DJ Hero instead.
02) Chanel stud earrings. The newer update. They don’t make the old anymore.
03) Louis Vuitton black damier belt.
04) in4mation G-Shock watch in purple & turquoise.
05) Harry Potter and the Half-Blooded Prince (not out yet) I got the box set (all series up to the Half-Blooded Prince) as a birthday present.
06) The Ugly Truth.
07) Tekken 6.
08) Super Mario Bro’s Wii.
09) Playstation 3/Slim (to play Tekken 6, haha.)
10) Louis Vuitton Monogram aviators.
11) Gucci FFAWN black Twirl watch (the thicker band). They don’t make the thicker band so I just give up.
12) Crooks & Castles purple hoodie with pink medusa. This color sold out so I got the red.

Would you believe me that the thing I was most excited over was for the Harry Potter & The Half-Blooded Prince DVD?! I’m an avid fan of the Harry Potter series!

I’m thinking of making another check/wish list. I have to think of stuff I want first! I need to pace myself. I just started my new job and still currently in training. At least I’m getting paid a lot :)

Is anyone still there?

Jul 11

I’m quite aware of my lack of blogging; And for that, I apologize. I’ve been neglecting something I pay for (typical) for something for free. I’ve been tumbling

To be fair, to what loyal visitors I have left, I’m going to start blogging on here once again and also on tumblr.

Let’s start with a most recent picture of moi:

&quot;Style Will Save Us&quot;

This was taken a few days ago. Just like fashion, I’m constantly changing :)

So many things have been happening this year that I just need to get my priorities straight. For the past week, I’ve been on “break” from the work force. The truth? I’ve quit my job that I’ve been at for two and a half years. I’ve left them for a higher paying job which I had started 2 weeks ago, took a break because it wasn’t working out, and now starting this week at a new location.

As great as this may seem, I scratched the surface of being a complete jobless bum, and will miss it greatly as soon as July 12, Monday, 8AM comes. On the bright side of things, I will get to pay for my worst habit ever, shopping.

Since we’ve moved on to shopping, this is the latest thing that I NEED! Yes, my label-whore-ish mind labels this as a “NEED” item.

Louis Vuitton iPad Case!

Now someone needs to help me decide whether I should get the Monogram Graphite Damier or the regular Monogram. Mind you, I have the graphite LV belt and the iPhone case that looks like a smaller version of this iPad case. Also, I have a few regular Monogram bags, wallet, & other accessories. Am I sick? YES! Help me decide by leaving me comments!

March 2010 recap.

Apr 07

I’ve come to the realization that I am a workaholic. This is one of the longer months and I don’t recall having too many breaks. But besides work, there was some upsides!

The last week in the month I got to go to las Vegas with my cousin Cher, Mark and JKO. This was the first time that I ever stayed at the Wynn resort. Mind you, it was amazing! I have to say though, things in vegas has surely changed since i visited two years ago. When in the hell did all these places needed a deposit amount even after you already paid for the room and all that? After we already paid Hertz the rental car and all of the fees we had to pay a $200 security deposit. And then when we got to the Wynn hotel we had to pay a $450 security deposit. There was no warning whatsoever about all of these security deposits. It really does cut into the spending money for gambling and shopping.

Any who.. It was quite an adventure. It was Chery and Mark’s first time at Vegas. We got to eat at Hash House A Go-Go which was visited by Man VS Food. That place is pretty amazing. My cousin and I split the chicken & waffles. They had bacon inside of the waffles! JKO had this pancake that was a size of a medium Pizza Hut pizza that he couldn’t finish. And Mark had this amazing avacado burger that he demolished on his own because it was so delicious. We also got to visit Serendipity 3. After watching the movie Serendipity, we had to taste their popular frozen hot chocolate. Besides their terrible service, the 12″ chili dog, potato skins, and frozen hot chocolate was delicious. *WARNING: If you’re extremely hungry and looking to eat a double cheeseburger from there, don’t get it unless you want a burger with no buns. And those assholes didn’t even bother mentioning that it didn’t come with any.

We unfortunately didn’t get to try in-n-out burger, Bellagio buffet, and The Olive Garden. Hopefully next time.

Gambling was fun. Slots were nicer to me this time. I also learned how to play craps. A little late in the game, but it’s great practice for next time.

March went by fairly quickly. Nothing too exciting except for the trip to Vegas.

Hopefully April flies by because my boss promised me a break. A weeks worth. :)

The iPad has arrived!

Apr 04

A few posts ago, I had blogged about Apple’s most-talked-about device called the iPad. The only bad thing about it, to me anyways, was the name. It wasn’t the most creative and of course many people think of feminine products.

It finally came out on Saturday and I wasn’t even aware. I found out through my boss. Of course I had to take a little break to check it out. I got to the Ala Moana Apple store at about 7pm and it was still packed with people. I was just watching many people having fun with the ipads and listening to some of the workers. I had to try one myself so I bought one!

So far, so good. I’m liking it so far. Except for the fact that I can’t play some of my favorite games on here. The touch screen keyboard is ok. I mean, there’s much more errors. But overall, not so bad.

I give it a 3 out of 5 stars. ;) and I’m also blogging from my iPad.

The ORIGINAL Trend Head.

Feb 16

It’s been a while since I blogged about things that I bought. Let’s just say that this month has been a good one :) Presents galore!

And it’s only mid-month! On top of that, I got tickets to fly to Las Vegas and I’m staying at the Wynn hotel. Yay! I’m so excited. The best month, evaR :)

Missing: Damier graphite 3G iPhone case.

Hello iPad.

Jan 28

I woke up this morning to find 76 emails on my iPhone. Besides all the porn and spam (HAHA) I got this email from Apple entitled “iPad“. At first I thought it was a joke and of course I said it out loud like a Filipino immigrant. I opened the email already laughing to come to a jawbreaking-halt. This thing is AHHHHHHHMMMMAAAAZZZZZZIIIINNNGGG. With a capital AMAZING.

I’m a big believer and supporter of Apple products. I have an iMac, mackbook, a video iPod, and an iPhone. At first I thought if it was necessary to invest in this iPad because I have everything listed above but after watching the demo I fell in complete and utter love with this thing. It’s like an iPhone with STEROIDS. What really made me fall in love is the new store “iBook” it’s like an actual book where you just swipe your finger and the page turns. Everything on this thing is touch-screen with a pop-up QWERTY board.

iPad PROS:
- The pricing. The price starts at $499!!!
- 9.56 inches high, 7.47 inches wide, and 0.5 inches in depth.
- They weigh at 1.5 – 1.6 pounds. Depending on which one you get.
- You can get it in 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB.
- Fingerprint resisting coating.
- Battery power up to 10 hours.
Gosh there is so much that I can’t list.

iPad CONS:
THE ONLY THING IS THAT ITS NOT OUT FOR SALE YET!

I’m such a techy and a sucker for the new and upcoming things. I can’t wait to get my hands on a iPhone on steroids!
