Unboxing August BDJ

Finally!!! The long wait is over.. After all the delays and all the calamities, I never thought I could ever get my hands on my very first BDJ box. I guess what I felt while waiting for sooooooo long is just normal for a first time subscriber like me. I ordered my box somewhere in June hoping I could still get a July box. Unfortunately, it was already out of stock so they signed me up for August instead.

                 

So I would admit that I was disappointed to see a small box and just crossed my fingers that it would be good enough while opening the package. But when I saw Shiseido, I jumped for joy!! Yey! It was a sure win for me. Although what's inside are just sample sizes, some of then could really last me a month or two I believe so I am satisfied. For less than Php600 you got all of these deluxe samples from Shiseido!

When I checked some of other people's comments about the box, I can tell that they are pretty disappointed because for the past 2mos, people are receiving big boxes with lots of goodies in it. I guess most people who signed up for this are just after the quantity not the quality of products they are getting. I dont blame them if they feel that way though, but I really hope they'd stop comparing the August box from the previous ones. 

What's Inside: 

Shiseido Ibuki Line is the newest skin care line of Shiseido and it hasn't been released here in the Philippines so the subscribers are really lucky to have this box. 

Shiseido Ibuki Gentle Cleanser

Shiseido Ibuki Purifying Cleanser

Shiseido Ibuki Softening Concentrate

Shiseido Ibuki Eye Correcting Cream

Shiseido Ibuki Refining Moisturizer

Shiseido The Skin Care Eye & Lip Makeup Remover

Shiseido Benefiance NutriPerfect Day

Shiseido Bio Performance Super Corrective Serum

Shiseido Coupons

**** all products are in deluxe sample sizes.

                   

     

I dont know with everyone else who got this box but I am very happy with what I got for this month and I can't wait to get my September Box. 

What about you guys? What is your favorite sampling box subscription and tell me why you like them. 

Share your unboxing moments on the comment box below. I would love to see them!

Church Thanksgiving OOTD/FOTD - GO NEUTRAL!

Hello Loves,

Here's a quick OOTD and FOTD post.

As some of you may know, I am a member of INC (Iglesia ni Cristo). Every July and December, we hold our Thanksgiving. During these times, I make sure that I wear something special. It's the time of the year that I would really spend money on a simple dress. My family and I really prepare for this special event to give thanks to our Lord God for all the blessings He continues to shower us.

So here's what I wore on our MidYear Thanksgiving and I call this look: CHIC of the DAY!

FOTD
 - For my face I went a little too much I think. I got Purple smokey eyes and nude lips!

Products Used:
4U2 BB Cream and BB Powder
Elizabeth Arden Makeup Palette
Urban Decay 24hr liner in Purple
In2It Liquid Liner
Majolica Majorca Lash King
Pinkie Swear Lipstick in 02

What I wore:
Dorothy Perkins Sculpted Dress
        - I've been wanting to buy myself a dress from Dorothy Perkins so I was super happy that they went On Sale. It gave me a reason to actually visit the store without looking shocked at the price tags. Actually when I roamed around the store, the prices are just fine. I got mine for the regular price and it's not too bad. So I left the store a happy bear.

Nine West Nude Pump 
       - My uncle from the US recently gave this to me when he came back here in the Philippines. It's a bit larger that what I would normally wear but a cork on it could really help a lot. It's my first pair of Nine West shoes so I was so happy when I got it and I really planned to save it for Thanksgiving.

Bewitched Bags
        - To have a  pop of color because I was going too neutral, I got my favorite satchel from Bewitched Bags.

 
With my blazer, it's just an old one I got from Tiangge for Php250.

Product Details here

How about you guys, which occasion do you normally spend your money on? I would love to hear them!

Thanks for dropping by.

XOXO

Wedding Guest Outfit/Face of the Day (HMUA of the day!)

So I had the chance to do my cousin's entourage makeup last Friday. I had to do 5 bridesmaids and my aunts' makeup as part of the package they availed for my hair and makeup services. I am glad I had my sister assist me for the hair( it was her first gig!hooray!).

Being the official  hair and makeup artist of the family, made it hard for me to have enough time get myself all dolled up.

I had no choice that day but to resort to my go-to glam hair and makeup.

For my face I did simple eye makeup, sun-kissed face and Vavavoom super red lips! For my hair, I made a tiny poof and let my hair straight down for a more polished look.

What I used:
Face:
Maybelline Shine Free 2way powder foundation
Cinema Secrets Moisture Spray
(NO CONCEALER)

Cheeks:
ELF Dual Blush and Bronzer

Eyes:
Elizabeth Arden Palette
Revlon Color Stay liquid pen liner
Mary Lash Love

Lips
Mary Kay Creme Lipstick in Rouge

Hair:
few bobby pins and Loreal Hair AeroSpray

Outfit

       Originally, I was going for a flapper style that's why I chose the dress I borrowed to my cousin plus my go-to glam red pumps.

Dress: Landmark
Shoes: Divisoria
Accessories: What Women Want by SM Accessories.


Even though my flapper style attempt failed, I still got compliments from my fabulous family and they were like " Were you really busy? How come you still had time to be glamorous?" and I was like "Oh well that's what red lipstick and a little confidence can do! "


I hope you find this post helpful in getting easy glammed up look on special occasions.

Thanks for reading and STAY FABULOUS!

Huge Fashion Haul (Divisoria Malls)

Shopping at Divisoria is probably the best thing a girl can do when you want to add a huge collection to your wardrobe without spending a fortune. Whenever I have to go somewhere such as trips in and out of the country, I always go to Divisoria because I can get the things I need and still have some more for impulsive buying!

There are so many things to choose from and you just need to know where to go to find the things that you need to get the best deals you could ever have.

Here's  my Shopping List
Glamour Studio (168 Mall)
Maxi Skirt - Sale Price: Php546 (Original Price: Php700)
White Hi-lo Tank top - Php150

999 Shopping Mall
High waisted pants: Php250
Peplum blouse: Php200
2 pc swimwear: Php200

Outdoor Market
Skater Skirt: Php150
Cropped layered top: Php100
Cover up: Php130

Bracelet and earrings: Php30/each

Fashion Exchange (direct selling)
Little black dress: Php458
Dress: Php548

Tips:

* Create a shopping list. 

*When you find that one thing you need, dont buy it yet. Try to look around as you might be able to find better deals somewhere else. Remember..Divisoria is HUGE!! 

*If you want higher quality goods and you still have extra to spend for that, try to shop in the malls instead of outdoor markets but remember to be wise and make sure they are not available outside. 

*Try to search on the outdoor market first before going in. Sometimes, they have the same items and they are a lot cheaper!

* Ask for discounts! A big one! Practice how to bargain! You have the license to do that :)

Reminder:

*Dont wear jewelries.

*Wear something simple. 

*If you can't leave without a purse, take a small body bag and make sure you place it in front. 

* Be aware of your surroundings! Dont get to overwhelmed because if you do, you might leave

the market empty-handed because you got pick-pocketed. LOL! :))

I hope you find this post helpful. Let me know if you love to shop in Divisoria and what was the best deals you've ever had on your shopping trip. 

Thank you so much for reading and I'll talk to you on my next blog.

Virtual Assistant and Recruitment Leader, Virtual Staff Finder, hits ‘1,000 VA’s Hired’ Milestone!

Photo credit: https://www.facebook.com/vsfcareers

Virtual Staff Finder has certainly come a long way from the time it was founded in 2010. Its main purpose was to bridge the gap for entrepreneurs wanting to outsource business processes, but require less man power, or are perhaps working with smaller budgets.

Since it’s inception, Virtual Staff Finder has not only bridged this gap, but has revolutionized how small business owners and startup entrepreneurs operate. Virtual Assistants (VA’s) now play a major role in this big change. By providing VA’s who are not only experienced and skilled, but also reliable and stay working for employers long-term, entrepreneurs are able to leverage their time like never before, ending in them focusing ON their businesses, instead of being trapped working IN their business.

Being able to continuously provide a premium service to their clients and help Filipino VA’s get hired everyday is a privilege that the Cebu City based company cherish. And with reaching 1,000 Filipino hires this year, they’veproven that the Virtual Staff Finder service is one that can not only change the lives of the clients they work with, but also to the Filipino VA’s who find real, decent paying jobs through working with them.

Founder and CEO, Chris Ducker, has this to say about this truly remarkable achievement:

Photo credit: https://www.facebook.com/vsfcareers

"This is a major milestone for our company, for our clients and most importantly for the 1,000 Filipino virtual assistants that have found full-time jobs through our service. It just goes to show you that if you work hard, have a clear corporate vision and focus on helping people, there's no limit to what you can achieve. I'm very proud of this amazing accomplishment…", said Ducker from the company’s HQ in Mandaue City, Cebu.

With more Filipinos starting to pursue an online career each year, Virtual Staff Finder are sure that not only will they be able to help more Filipinos find work, but also team up with hundreds more entrepreneurs from around the world to help them build, promote and grow their businesses.

Virtual Staff Finder has truly become not only the pioneer, but without a doubt, the leader in virtual staffing solutions. By continuing to provide the best service as well as resources that can help both their clients and VA’s work well with each other, they continue to grow and thrive as a company.

Makeup Brush Spot Cleaning

Hello Everyone,

   I used to always make sure that I deep clean clean my makeup brushes once a week. I like them squeaky clean all the time. But I realized I'm not doing any good to my brushes so I tried to purchase James Cooper's Makeup brush cleaner.

   For me, paying Php399 for a brush cleaner is not economical because I have too many brushes. But I know this will be really helpful for my babies so I try to find ways to save a little more of the product everytime I use it.

Personal Makeup Brushes: Beauty Cosmetics ( Php1200)

Brush Cleaner: Jazzy Collection by James Cooper (Php399)

Everyday Natural Glow: Summer Trend 2013

I have always been  a fan of subtle makeup. I love the natural glow and it's always been my go-to makeup look. Lucky for me, it is the summer trend for 2013 according to Harper's Bazaar. But as for me, natural glow will never go out of trend. All you need to do is how to work it out depending on your skin type. Those who have combination to very oily skin need to be extra careful in pulling this look off. Of course you dont want to glow because of your shiny oily face,right?

Anyway, I managed to film a video on how I achieve this look. I have combination skin so if you have the same skin type as mine, you might find this look helpful.

Products Used:

Face

Olay Moisturizer
SNOE Cosmetics SKIN Sunblock Cream
LA Girl HD Pro Concealer
Mememe Flawless Foundation

Blush: Benefit Sugalicious Kit

Eyes

Pinkie Swear Eyebrow pencil
Mary Kay Brow Mascara
Elizabeth Arden Palette
Nichido Kohl Pencil Liner
Mary Kay Lash Love

Lips: Pinkie Swear  LP-02

Tools

Beauty Cosmetics Brushes
Marionnaud Foundation brush
Revlon Lash Curler

Thank you so much for reading and I'll talk to you on my next blog!

Have a fabulous day!

START THE YEAR RIGHT WITH SULIT.COM.PH

Wow! I'm totally doing it..I'm writing on my blog again. I have been busy sorting things out for the new year and there are/were a lot of things going on with me right now. One of them is setting up my new blog which is   the Real Estate.Ph that actually have a live ad at Sulit.Com/AvidaLady.

I always knew I'm going to be very busy this year so before the year ends, I thought of the things I should have this year and hopefully I'd be able to get them soon!

Home Improvement 

Gas Range - I always want one of these for my kitchen because first, I love to cook and 2nd, I want to learn how to bake.

Children's bed- I always wanted to have a lovely space for my children and the bed below is exactly what I need. It gives them a lot of storage and allows more space to their room.

For the dining I wanted to have at least 6 seater dining table. We love to eat together so having enough space for the table is great to have more food to share with the family. 

Living Room- I always want to have an L-Shape couch for my house. It gives a lot of space for the whole family to bond and have fun.

My Career

I do a lot of things for a living. I'm a homebased virtual assistant/content editor, online teacher, blogger,makeup artist and just recently I became an accredited property specialist of Avida Towers.Whew!

So since I do a lot of things, I need a lot of things to gear me up and be ready to do everything at the most convenient way. 

High back chair - Of course, sitting all day in front f the computer can be literally such a pain in the a** and the back! So one of the things I am planning to get and this should be real soon is a high back chair. 

Office Desk- I love to have this office desk for no reason at all.. I have a built in one but I want this more!

Ipad 3 or 4-  Like cmon guys, who wouldn't want this baby? LOL! But it's not just a "want" for me... I need it..like seriously! 

Traincase - It's been on my wishlist since I started to do makeup for other people. 

Airbrush Makeup set - Since this is a trend and most of the brides prefer to have airbrush makeup on their special day, I wanted to have them so I can get more clients :) As much as I love traditional makeup sometimes, you really need to follow the trend to meet your clients' expectations.

Car- so ok..if I'd be lucky this year and I know I am going to be, I would love to have my own car. But first, I need to learn how to drive! LOL! I want to have my dream boyfriend...A white Mazda 3! 

So there you have my top 10 Must haves that I found on Sulit.com.ph.

Before we end this, I would like to ask you guys, what are your top 10 must haves?
