Swatches: NYX Round Lipsticks (7 shades)

My addiction over NYX started when I was looking for a dupe of MAC's Ruby Woo or Russian Red for my sister's 18th birthday gift. Through the power of google, I discovered NYX lippies with great reviews saying that these can be great alternatives to high end ones, and that aside from being really affordable, you have a lot of colors to choose from, and I mean A LOT. The shades are also very pigmented. The downside is their staying power. It doesn't last long unless you use lipgloss on top of it. It also tends to be over-creamy, so using a lip brush is highly recommended.

Now these are my first few NYX Round Lipstick (since I am planning to buy more, or maybe ALL of the shades): PUMPKIN PIE, CETO, WATERMELON, FIG, LOUISIANA, ELECTRA AND EROS.

NOTE: PHOTOS WERE TAKEN WITH FLASH, AND IN INDOOR.

Wishlist Sunday 6/12

Sunday is family time, God time, rest time, shopping time, movie time, mall time, and as for me, Sunday is wishlist time! Every Sunday starting today, I will be posting my top five shoes, clothes, food, or anything that I would badly (or desperately) want to have. I will also be posting the links to where you can buy these awesome products, just in case you would also suddenly crave for them.

1. Aqua-colored pumps from VIRTUAL MAE. This is from the Lego Collection style no. 1018. I love how the blue shade is so neon, that when you pass by a crowd, these pumps will be easily seen and will absolutely stand out. Totally an eye-catcher!

Wedge-love

I used to really hate heels, but then came wedges. Now I can even wear them everyday, even in the most simple occasions. They don't torture my feet at all. Gotta love wedges!!!

This one here was inspired by Tricia Gosingtian, a famous fashion blogger. So what do you think? Achieved? Yes? Yes!!! =)))

PINK is the new BLACK

I, being an ultimate fan of Gossip Girl, have always wanted to follow Blair Waldorf's classy look. I also love Serena's fashion, but I am just more of a Blair. So I happen to mix and match dresses that would be Blair-ish. Here's one :))

Fly With Me

This photo was taken approximately 5 months ago during my sister's debut but I just feel that this should be blogged.
This dress was the most creative dress yet that I have worn. Believe it or not, the entire butterfly effect was handpainted. The petal-like bottom was formed by a thick string. There was also no thick petticoat inside. The headress was also handmade. All thanks to Kel Sampayan :) The make-up also added to the light and classy mood. Thanks to ate Syrel! :)

LEONA ART RESTAURANT

Leona is located in a house converted into a restaurant. This restaurant is (sort of) difficult to find since it's inside a village. Good thing is, my cousin is fond of researching about delish meals (and his body speaks of his fondness. haha) from underrated restos. and when I say underrated, I meant that they should be given more attention.

Hunting for Oppas.

We actually hunted for REAL korean actors but they were nowhere to be found. But oh wait, we found some of their astral drops. :))

I felt quite bad because there were no close-ups of Hyun Joong, and he was my number one prey. :|

KIM HYUN JOONG Oppa

Seagulls-feeding

As we were on our way to Shindo Island via ferry, these seagulls were surrounding the boat. So we decided to feed them with some crackers. Dangerous, I know, for they might bite our fingers as well. But it was a rare experience so we just took the opportunity. Hihi :))

SOUTH KOREA: GYEONGBOKGUNG PALACE

Gyeongbokgung Palace was the main and largest palace of the Five Grand Palaces built by the Joseon Dynasty.
The premises were destroyed by fire at the time of Japanese occupation from 1592-1598. However, all of the palace's 7,700 rooms were later restored under the leadership of Heungseondaewongun during the reign of King Gojong.
Remarkably, the most representative edifices of the Joseon Dynasty, Gyeonghoe-ru Pavilion and Hyangwonjeong Pond are still relatively in tact. Woldae and the sculptures of Geunjeongjeon (The Royal Audience Chamber) represent past sculpture of contemporary art.
