Again,many thanks to KB and more power! :) Wanna try KB products? You may contact Yumei Mise at 09178005836, or you may visit their website at www.yumeimise.net, www.ilovekb.com, and you may like their fan page http://www.facebook.com/pages/KB-Skin-Whitening-pills/116430571764210

NOTD: Wet N Wild Nail Polish in Wet Cement

Whoa,it's been like ages since I last updated this blog. I feel like a newbie again. Hehe! What's up with you guys? As for me,I've been focused on work,work and more work lately. O_o But I havent forgotten this blog,actually. Ive been meaning to update this for the longest time,but... anyway,enough of my lame excuses.. on to the blog post. :-p

I bought this gorgeous nail polish from a Facebook seller, Polished IntheCity, for P200 plus shipping. She sells different brands of NP,from the colorful China Glaze,OPI,Zoya,up to the priciest Chanel. Before I even got this,I have already read mixed reviews about this brand,which fired up my curiosity even more,so I told myself that Id have to get this and test it for myself. So when it became finally available,I bought it and had it shipped. And Im glad that I decided to jump into the bandwagon. :)

The bottle is very elegant and expensive looking. The brush is...well,huge. It covers my nail with the easiest strokes (I had a nail tech apply this on me,and I can tell that she really enjoyed the brush),and it is totally opaque in two coats. The color is a taupey shade,that somewhat leans into the grayish side as well. Im not sure,but I think it comes with a cool undertone to it (feel free to correct me if Im wrong). It's a very office friendly shade, and if I were to pick something that Id be willing to wear on my nails on a daily basis,Id pick this in a heartbeat.

Wear time for me is so-so. The polish chipped on my right index and thumb after two days (I sandwiched this using my fave base and top coats),but the rest of the fingers and those on my left hand had very minimal tip wear on the 5th day (must be me digging thru my stuff that caused the chipping).

Overall,Id give this polish a 4 out of 5. A very preppy color for those who would want to paint their nails,but would not want to go overboard.

Wet N Wild is also available in Watsons located in SM Malls.

NOTD: Corporate Purple by The Face Shop

This,by far,is one of those colors that I would want to wear on a daily basis. Simple,yet striking. Work appropriate. This is The Face Shop's Face It nail polish in PP402. It's pretty long lasting too,I think it took me 5 days before it started to chip on me. Highly recommended.


Base coat: The Face Shop Face it nail base coat

Top coat: The Face Shop Lovely Me Ex top coat and Seche Vite dry fast top coat


What do you have on your nails today?

Review: Wet n Wild ColorIcon Blusher in Berry Shimmer

Note: All pictures were taken indoors,without flash using my Samsung Galaxy Note 2.


If there's one word to describe this blush,it would be LOVE. Ive had this blush for about 2-3 weeks now,and Id say that Im mighty impressed with it. The packaging could have been a little bit better,but the product itself bailed out the former in terms of pigmentation and lasting power.


Packaging: The product is encased in a cheap black plastic container with a clear lid,and the logoWet n Wild is printed on it. But as the 1st picture suggests,it came off rather quickly. It also comes with a brush which is quite scratchy,so if you're the sensitive skin type,stay away from the brush.


Pigmentation: This blush is VERY,VERY pigmented. Id say that this blush comes off as golden coral.The 3rd picture depicts a very light swatch, so you have to use this with a very light hand. A little comes a long,long way,so I think that even if used on a daily basis,this baby would last for a very long time.


Lasting power: I have combination skin (oily on the t-zone area,dry on the cheek area),and this lasted on me for a good amount of time. I applied it at around 8pm,went to work,and when I came home at around 10am the following day,I still had a slight hue going on my face. However,results may vary,especially if you are the really oily type of gal.


Would I recommend and/or repurchase: a big YES :)


Hope this helps.


Seppie ♥♥♥

Human Heart Nature (or HHN) really hit the spot when they released this in the Philippine market a few years ago. Kudos to HHN for coming up with such a remarkable product!

NOTD: China Glaze in Phat Santa

Hello readers! V-day is fast approaching and here I am,dateless. Hahaha! Just kidding. I have featured a nail color that might give you an idea on what to don should you have an intimate date on the 14th,or if you just want to feel extra sexy at all times. ;)


I have an obsession on red nail polish,for me it's a must have color on every nail polish stash. One can never go wrong with red nail polish since it suits almost all skintones,and IMO it exudes elegance,sophistication and intimacy. :D


And here it is! China Glaze Phat Santa is from their Tis the Season to be Naughty and Nice collection. It's a cherry red nail color which can be used on both tips and toes. The formula is superb; only two coats are needed to achieve opacity. To top it all,the color gives off a very glossy finish even without top coat (although I dont recommend skipping your top coat).


Photos were taken using my Samsung Galaxy Note 2,with flash.


Base coat: The Face Shop Face It nail base coat

Top coat: The Face Shop Lovely me Ex top coat,followed by Seche Vite Dry Fast top coat

Note: Pics were taken using my Samsung Galaxy Note 2


Banapple has been my favorite dining place from the first time I set foot in this dainty,homey restaurant in Ayala triangle. The interiors are simple yet classy. The service is excellent,and food quality is superb. I love their cheesecakes,their pies are mouth watering,and their pasta selection is simply irresistible. Prices are reasonable,and I'm giving this place 2 thumbs up!


For Makati residents, Banapple - Ayala Triangle is open daily from 8am to 10pm,while Taguig/BGC peepz can satiate their Banapple cravings thru their Market!Market! branch, and is open daily from 10am to 9pm.
