Piece of Sunshine

Hello, it’s me (again).

How about we try this one more time?

I know my last post was 3 years ago. I’ve been a bit (???) busy. Ha!

But lately I’ve been feeling like I needed an outlet again for some extra–I don’t want to say creative because I really am not creative–energy after finishing my degree. And yes, I did finally finish my Bachelor’s degree last week! The last time I blogged here I had just moved to Melbourne to…

Hey, you guys! I recently did a drugstore–or chemist as the call it here in Australia–haul and I thought it would be fun to share with you what I got. I also bought a couple of things from MAC and Soap & Glory which I’ll just include in this post as well. (more…)

March & April Favourites | 2016

I know I have been MIA this past two months. I really need to allot time to write posts because I miss connecting with you guys through WordPress. Fingers crossed I’d be able to go back to posting at least once a week! Anyway, because I missed doing my March favourites (which I had already drafted but wasn’t able to publish), I thought I would combine it with this month’s products. And so now,…

My Go-To Pink Lip Products

I love lip products. Since I don’t really play with eye shadows that much, I usually like using lipsticks or stains to add an extra oomph to my makeup look. So of course, when I was kindly invited by Glossier to share anything pink for their #Glossierpink Pinterest board, all my ideas revolved around lipsticks. Here are three lippies of different shades of pink that I always reach for whenever I…

February Favourites | 2016

This month went by so fast! I’m still in shock how I got through each week without pulling out my hair haha. I’ve been busy most days settling in. There is so much to do–applying for IDs, setting up a bank account, etc.—and I had to juggle everything with school stuff. Not that I am complaining. I actually like being this kind of busy except that I wasn’t able to write or schedule a lot of blog…

KathleenLights x OFRA Miami Fever |Swatch + Mini Review

Youtuber KathleenLights‘ collaboration with cosmetics brand OFRA last fall was such a hit with beauty lovers around the world. Everyone was raving about her liquid lipstick ‘Miami Fever‘. I have to admit though that I was not too crazy about the color at first. I mean, it looks very flattering on a lot of women but I did not think it would suit me. It was not until I watched a Vlogmas video that…

Review: Innisfree Long Wear Cushion

Hello, everyone! Today, I will be reviewing a cushion–not the kind that you put on a sofa–foundation from Innisfree. It’s their Long Wear Cushion in the shade 21 Natural Beige, which is a pretty good match for my skin tone. (more…)

January Favourites | 2016

We’re already five days into February but I wanted to share with you some things that really made me happy last month. I know I wasn’t consistent with doing my monthly favourites last year but I promise to do better this 2016! (more…)

Hello from Australia! | Start Over 2016

Hello, everyone! How are you? I just wanted update you about my whereabouts and if the title of this post isn’t clear enough, well, let me tell you that I am now here in Australia. Yay! I left the Philippines just last Sunday to continue my studies here, so this is where I will be based for the foreseeable future. I have been hush hush about the whole thing because for the past couple of months…

NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer

I kept stumbling across the NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer when I was researching for a good high end concealer. Before Urban Decay came out with their Naked Skin concealer, Youtubers and beauty gurus were raving about this NARS one. So when I was at the Changi Airport last November, I finally picked up a tube for me to try out. (more…)

Review: Innisfree The Green Tea Seed Serum

I remember when this Innisfree The Green Tea Seed Serum was so popular back in 2014. Everyone was raving about how good this serum was. I had been wanting to get it for so long but because we don’t have Innisfree here in Manila, and the only other option was to preorder it through an online reseller, I held out. Fortunately, I was able to pick this up when I was in Singapore because my skin loves…

I turned 21 last Friday and aside from celebrating with my family, I did a mini haul. Most of what I got are skincare products because I’m running low or have already ran out of some of them. (more…)

MAC Mehr | MLBB

I picked up my first MAC lipstick in Singapore when we were there last November. I wasn’t really planning to get one but then I checked out the counter at the airport and it just happened (and I might have been influenced a bit by Lucieleanne). But I still have #NoRagrets because I found the perfect ‘My Lips but Better’ shade with MAC Mehr. (more…)

‘Last Day of the Year’ Routine

It’s the last day of the year! Woo! 2015 was filled with unexpected surprises and wonderful blessings. Before we welcome 2016–which I hope has better things in store for all of us–I want to share with you my to-do list for this last day of the year. (more…)

Products I’ve Used Up #2 | Empties

I’ve used up quite a lot of products during the last couple of months. I’m a bit sad since I really loved most of the things I’ll be mentioning below. But I’m also excited at the same time because it means I can go and shop for other things to try out this new year. (more…)

Christmas Beauty Questions Tag

Hello, everyone! It’s already midnight here in Manila but this is the only time I have to post something. It’s been a week since my last post and even though I want to write some reviews, my schedule is just too packed right now. If I’m not off to this place and that, I’m baking the day away. So I’m greeting you all a Merry Christmas (in advance) just in case I can’t go online in the next couple…

A Lazy Girl’s Travel Beauty Diary

I was inspired by an online magazine post I read a few months back to make my own travel beauty diary. So before I left for Singapore, I kind of planned how to do my makeup for each day we were there. But you know the thing about plans… they are [sometimes] meant to be broken. (more…)
