The cute purple brush set from Real Techniques

I have my core collection brushes, and now I need the one for the eyes too.

Like the first set that I ordered, the Real Techniques Starter Set also cost Php1050 from Kalm Cosmetics. Not bad for 5 eye brushes it's still very affordable and I would say in General Real techniques brushes have good value for money.

So I was impressed with the service of  Kalm cosmetics online store then, I watched all the blogs from those pretty pixiwoo sisters and then I realized and felt the need that I need to replace my old eye brushes too. I need a change and I must have these Real Techniques starter set.

And with a click of the button it happened again. I placed an order to Kalm cosmetics, to have these cute brushes that I will be needing for new make up style. Hahaha or maybe I just fell the need to own one too.

These brushes are very easy to use. Even if you are a beginner you can do a perfect smokey eye, wing eye and defining outer V eye make up. It works like miracle. When my daughter grows old enough to learn make up, I would definitely buy her own set. These eye brushes are good for beginners and for "on the go make up" coz you don't need to put so much effort to perfect it like a PRO.





Two lovely sets of Real Techniques brushes from KALM cosmetics




My first Real Techniques Brushes

So after 7 years my Elianto brushes are already shedding and I need a quality brushes to replace my old tools.

I love Elianto cosmetics coz they are very affordable and they matches my skintone. I really am not comfortable wearing too white shades of make up, most of it are from korean cosmetic brand. During those time, I find Elianto's brush softer than the face shop brushes I owned. So I replaced it and bought Elianto cosmetics and brushes. It really felt good because it's so affordable and I was able to maximize my budget. Like buying high end brands would cost me a lot of money. Though, I love Estee lauder and Mac cosmetics they work so fine.

Anyway, so I have to ask my friends about the latest trend on affordable make up brushes. I don't know where I have been since I got pregnant I dint get any update with make up and cosmetics. I was just being a mum at home busy focusing on my daughter.... Well I have a multi tasking role in life I am a super single mum.... Moving on lol........... 

2 of my favorite girlfriends told me how nice Real Techniques are. I trust those gals, but I still need to watch and read reviews online, so I did. Wow!!! The pixiwoo sisters are amazing. After a day of watching and reading reviews about this brushes, I decided to buy one. 

The core collection will best suit my needs coz, I need something for my face and I want something that I can bring with me all the time. Oh they look cute!!! 4 brushes with a case what more can I ask for lol.



Then I went to the official website of real techniques and checked who are the authorized retailer in the country. And I found Kalm cosmetics. They don't charge much the Real techniques core collection just cost Php 1050 and the transaction is also fast, I was quite impressed.


My first real techniques brush from KALM cosmetics.

I love these brushes and they really don't shed. I have washed them 3 times already and they still look new. I also use their case to dry the brushes. I noticed that these real techniques brushes dries quickly too. I love it and It works very well. If you want to learn more about it you can watch the pixiwoo sisters blog tutorials and you will learn a lot. And these tutorials also encouraged me to by the starter set hahaha.

My LuxolaPH experience

I love Luxola :-) They have plenty of good deals online. 
My ready to go kit. This stays in my purse.
I am working long hours and going to school every weekend. My life have been so stressful and difficult. No social life and not getting laid hahaha.

So I said to myself "Girl you need a retail therapy" Dame!!! But I can only do it online. In a few minutes "I did". First I placed an order just to get the free shipping. The  I realized I am replacing all my brushes and one brush is not enough so I placed another order. 

OMG!!! It was a Great Deal. I am so damn happy!!! After 4 days it arrived at my doorsteps and with a 20 dollar gift card, my life was never been the same hahaha.

I love the Sigma and Zoeva brushes, this is what I always carry when I go out and it's doing a great job on my face. I love it. And LuxolaPH is prolly the cheapest online store I can buy Sigma brushes here in Philippines, though I know they are based in Singapore. So glad they have Luxola PH and it made me really happy.

And they give me 20 dollar gift card to assure I will be placing my order again lol. Ofcourse!!! As I am writting this, I already made my 3rd purchase.


So I got a gift card, that would make me buy more!!!

Zalora Philippines Shopping Experience

I first saw Zalora on Facebook They have nice deals and advertisements.

As a single mum who cant go out that much, I decided to place an order because the apparels looks very nice and most of my friends told me that zalora sells good quality products and gives good service to their customers.

When I checked the site they were on sale plus you get 250 off on your first order. Wow that was a big savings!!! To avail the free shipping I ordered a few clothes and it made me very happy :-). For 995 you get free shipping and the transaction is very fast. I work at night so I usually place my orders around 12am and most of the time when I wake up the next day my package have already arrived. That's how fast they are, Imagine less than 24 hours.

And about the fabrics, I would say they never let me down. Like, when I receive my order(s), I look at it and it looks exactly the same as what they have posted online. I love animal prints and they do have nice animal prints designs to choose from, with decent fabric that I would rate a perfect A for what I have paid for.

They value their customers and the customer service replies promptly to all your queries. 

Below are some pictures of my most favorite order(s) in Zaloraph.
 
My First order back in October 2014

Mother and Daughter Matching Outfits Addiction

If you have a daughter who likes dressing up like I do. You will definitely get addicted to matching outfits especially if shes's loving it. My daughter would be like pointing at the clothes or shoes and saying mummy and pointing to the tiny ones "Holly" means hers.

She loves clothes and shoes and cute things too. And she loves it best when she sees that our clothes are matching. So last summer, I had an addiction buying these cute mother and daughter outfits online. And below are the outfits that I bought and worn during summertime (2015).


I love animal prints so as my daughter. And we always wear matching outfits during Pedia visits, going to nearby mall or grocery, or if we fell like eating on a kiddie fast food nearby. My daughter always wants to be in cute clothes and she likes it when she's dressed up and I got addicted with these matching madness lol.

This is our first pair of matching shoes I bought in Festival Mall Alabang Tiangge.


My daughter is so obsessed to mickey mouse clubhouse. So, when I saw these birkenstock like minnie mouse footwear I buy it right away. She would alwasys sing "The Hotdog Song" everytime we wear this.


A good friend told me about this shop "meet my feet". It has a value for money price. Good quality and not cheap. They have different branches and I bought ours at Festival Mall Alabang 3rd floor.


Below are the clothes I bought from my favorite online seller GetComfy Ichirimes who's selling matching outfits-mom and daughter, kids, adults and even plus size for women clothing's. The seller is so nice and the transaction is very fast. I would recommend this online shop to mom's out there cause the prices are very affordable and she have great dress and leggings "prints" that I personally love :-) I had an awesome shopping experience with GetComfy Ichirimes!!!

Maroon lipstck..... Make it dark

I so wanna try the Khloe Kardasian make up, where she is wearing the dark maroon like lipstick. So again I saw this Matte Lippies from Ever bilena and bought it to make the Inspired make up look that I want.



This color reminds me of my first mac lipstick I have in high school. I unfortunately dropped in a hole of the old wooden building of Lacson College, where I took my summer Algebra class.



Below is the picture of my two owned Ever bilena Lipstick



MATTE - Dusk
Extreme - Candy Cane




My Orange addiction

Where have a been for the past 3 years? Since I got preggo I already forgot about the latest trends in cosmetics. After 3 years of being out of the scene I am now back, replacing my old make up as well as my make up tools. It's been a while.

Now, I am so obsessed with the orange lippies. I am a single mum working long hours night shift and I dont have time anymore to go to makati or any decent department stores who sells high end cosmetics. And I am also on a budget so I'm now trying out drugstores cosmetics, just to achieve the look and style that I want.



The only happy time I have is when I go to groceries to do food shopping and buying supplies for the household and my daughter. So, I found this really adorable orange lipstick from Ever Bilena. And since I am practicing the latest trends of make up. I kinda tried this one just to experience the orange thing. And guess what i became obsessed. 

The Ever Bilena extreme lipstick looks similar to Maybelline. It looks pretty and very affordable so I picked it up and add it on my shopping cart. I wasn't really expecting that this product is really amazing. When i first tried it before going home. I was stunned by the moisture and shine. Dame!!! It's more than the 165 pesos that I've paid. It is really more than what I have expected. Plus now I am wearing my orange dream lipstick at the most affordable price.


Then the other day. I saw this orange lip pencil. And I was like OMG, I'm gonna get this to enhance the orange on my lips.



I am going to collect all nice colors from this lipstick line as well as the lip pencil. 

The last lipliner I bought was back in 2012 and it cost PHP1450. And this faboulous orange lip pencil from ever bilena only cost Php 100 It's indeed a big savings. 


I am so glad that Ever bilena have pretty and affordable lippies like this. It made me super happy.




Who wouldn't want to kiss those lips? Hahaha joke
