     Hey guys, I just wanna share to you two of the trending news from Yahoo! (www.yahoo.com). If you've followed my blog for a long time you'll know how much I adore reading. Here's a random fact about me, I haven't watched tv for more than a minute for a very long time like a year (that long) because our television's broken. As a result I always spend time reading news from Yahoo (and other web sources) to keep myself updated from news (and gossip) kidding! hehe
     Basically I opened yahoo and find these great tips from their BeautyTalk section where they post a lot of useful tips. Here they are:
First,

How to Find the Right Lip Color for Pinay Skin Tones

photo by bbs "Shalene Joyce Diez

In Bobbi Brown's latest makeup book Pretty Powerful, she advises women to look for a shade that is closest to one's natural lip shade. "The most flattering color will either match or be slightly darker than your lips," she writes.
In the case of most Filipinas, a rosy pink with brown undertones, like NARS lip color in Dolce Vita, works best as an everyday shade.

left = pink, right = brown undertone

Get an instant makeover with 5 quick tricks

1. Quick trick to revamp your look: Stand up Although we risk sounding like your mother, if you want to revamp your look, stand up straight. Your posture is hugely important to the way you look.

Having good posture doesn’t mean standing polka straight. You need to stand naturally, allowing your spine to curve in an S shape. Make sure when you are standing that your hips and ears are aligned. 

 

2. Quick trick to revamp your look: Eyes and lips Your eyes and lips are you chance to have fun and, if you want to give yourself a makeover using makeup, start with these areas. Firstly, find an eyeliner pen or pencil that matches your natural eye color. Then play around with designs.When applying your eyeliner make sure you keep checking what your liner looks like when your eyes are open so that you get the finished look you were after. Also, to keep your lipstick on for longer first apply a lip liner and use a lip brush to apply your lipstick. This will also give you more control during application.

3. Quick trick to revamp your look: Eyebrows We all know that your eyebrows can dramatically change your face. The right brows can frame your favorite features and change your appearance. If you have a long face and would like to make it look shorter choose a flat brow shape. Although a DIY job can work wonders, sometimes getting some professional guidance goes a long way. If you want to change your entire brow shape, book an appointment at your trusted salon. Then once you’ve had them re-shaped you could maintain your look at home with tweezers. 

4. Quick trick to revamp your look: Dye Changing your look doesn’t have to be expensive; it can be as cheap as you want it to be. If you feel like your wardrobe needs updating, take a look at what you already own. If you have a pair of trousers or skirt that fits well but is looking a little old, pop it into the washing machine and add in some fabric dye.

5. Quick trick to revamp your look: One statement piece 

Sometimes a total revamp or makeover isn’t necessary. All you need is one statement piece that ties together your outfit. To find that magical piece of clothing, try on lots of different items and explore new styles, cuts and colors. Ideally, your statement piece will have a wow factor so that it can turn an ordinary outfit into one that will turn heads. The key to getting this wow factor is to look for bold, unusual colors. Don’t choose a multi-colored item though, unless lots of your other clothes are plain. This is because you want to be able to wear your statement piece with a lot of outfits, so choose items in bold, block colors. Instructions: Your statement piece should be a little out-there and should definitely reflect you and your personality. Take time to find this special item and you’ll soon reap the rewards.

My Insights

         Of course both of the post are equally important right? The first post is very helpful for all Filipinas especially ladies of my age. I'm not being mean but I can't help to notice it when some girls of my age fail to match their lips with their skin tones. Anyway mistakes are inevitable and there is always a room for improvement. Most Filipinas have morena skintone so either rose pink colors or brown undertones will suite them well. I guess the best thing to remember in choosing your lip color is to choose a color close to your natural lip color. As for me I have this not so light/not so dark lipcolor but I opted on brown/red undertone colors simply because it looks good on me. What I'm using now are the lipsticks 'Romantic Red' from EB Cosmetics and 'Fresh Melon' from Avon. 

     Hey guys, here are some of the items left by the online shop my friends and I sold last May. We call our shop Fashion Wise because all items are in a very affordable prices. Some items are pre-loved stuffs by the owners, thrifted clothes and brand new.

Lami-a gyud aning kape uy!
Mukiat gud dayon ning pislat kong ilong
sa higayon nga mulakaw na iyang aroma sa hangin.
Pastilan, pagkahumuta lang naman jud!
Humot pa's baho sa axe nga giligo ni Tata
human niya'g pang half bath.

Buntag,udto,gabie
wa jud intawn ko pul-e.
Maka-boang man gud ning kape.
Ma-init o ma-bugnaw
lami jud siya teh!
Pero kon ako'y papilion
ari gyud ko's init.
Kanang init pa's mga insulto
ug pagbiay-biay nila nako.
Yeko ar sad,
may nalang kay matusluban
pa man nako's bahaw nga pan
pinalit sa akong inahan
niaging tuig.

Bitaw, lami maning kape
galing lang kay pait.
Pait pa's akong gibati
kaniadtong gibiyaan niya
sa kabugnaw among relasyon.

Maayo nalang ning kape
kay mutam-is man ug mabutangag asukal.
Makapawala pa's akong duka
matag klase ni Sir "churva"
Kong imu sad kong panghutan-on
unsa'y gusto nakong imnon ron,
aw,kape gyud akoa
lami pa
unya dili bidli,
sama kang Sir nga sige'g hisgot ug honeymoon.

It's Slurpee time! LOL L_R: Jim, Krizhia(xiang2x),Sharlene (bbs)

I don't know why, but somehow I love this blurred shot by April hahaha that's bbs and me btw. :))

The best thing about this "laag" is that we don't have to spend more cash coming from our wallets. We have Jim to cover almost all of our expences because by that time when we decided to hang out together, Jim is courting my friend Krizhia.

Okay, sorry for these solo vanity shots.Just love these photos for showing my clean and clear face ahaha #feeler ang peg

All of us decided to wear our group shirt. It's a V-neck yellow colored shirt with a printed sketch of our doodle. More details about the shirt here:

Pair it with my black shorts and black leather fringe bag to make myself look more casual and adventurous. You wouldn't want to look too "bongga" or exaggerated when your purpose is to chill and relax with your friends. Well maybe that may also depend on the venue where you chose to hang out.

A pair of these studded red shoes completed my casual adventurous look. Perfect for a long walk and chilling with friends.

I opted for this gold scalene triangle ring from Aizilym Enterprises. Thought this would be a perfect match for my yellow shirt and studded shoes.

Waiting...

It's me and bbs again :D vain lang?

My beautiful friend Krizhia (xiang2x) and I

It's me and the beautiful XIang Zirkie again

The only four MG members who were able to make the "laag"

bbs and ap2x.....April's holding her new Smiley earring

Here are some of the photos I took inside the movie house. L-R: (1) A family sketch of the family who owns the movie house. It's a family business after all. (2) A collection of saints and pictures of the Holy Family including the bust of Christ. The family's a religious one indeed.  :)

&& here are some of the screenshots I've captured as we watched our chosen movie. Can you guess from what movie these shots came from? Well, obviously it's a horror film (which I'm so into). I won't post more of the screenshots I took, might as well freak you out or scare the sh*t out of you.LOL hahaha

Midnight in Mango.It's already dark when we finished watching the movie. A great day to spend with friends.

Must add these cool photo of them while walking towards the highway to ride a jeepney home. I love how the lamppost looked like the sun. LOL

Here's a quote to ponder:
