I wanted to meet the New Year with a bang or "pasabog" (thus, the giveaway). But I also wanted to create a look that will let me shine and give positive vibes to usher in 2014. So I picked gold... I created 2 looks, one for daytime and the other for nighttime.

The sun won’t shine until you put the umbrella away. Be free. Every day may not be good, but there’s something good in every day. For 2014: Fear less, hope more; Eat less, chew more; Whine less, breathe more; Talk less, say more; Love more, and all good things will be yours.

• EYES: Using Urban Decay Naked 1 Palette eyeshadows in buck and half-baked (added in smog and darkhorse for the nighttime look), Maybelline lasting gel liner in black, mascara is Fairy Drops Platinum and eyebrows done with MUFE Aqua Brow #15
• FACE/CHEEKS: Avon luminous blush in Peach, TheBalm Mary Lou Manizer highlighter, Fanny Serano 2-way cake foundation in Orleans and Rajah, Ben Nye banana luxury powder, Naturactor cover face 171 & 151 as concealer
• LIPS: For daytime, I used MAC Freckletone and Burt's Bees Super Shiny natural lip gloss in Nectar Nude and for nighttime, I used NYX soft matte lip cream in Stockholm and Colour collection Ultimate Wear lipstick in Naked Peach

It's only a subtle difference between the two but I think I did a fairly good job at both. LOL! What can I say? I LOVE MY OWN! Tee hee.


It's another brand-new year and what better way to celebrate it with another giveaway! This time I'm going to give one lucky blog reader this awesome skincare package. There are CETAPHIL, Gluta-C, and Moringa-O products up for grabs!


As a rule when it comes to beauty, I always believe that beautiful skin is important. Makeup can only do so much to hide flaws and imperfections, but when you have great skin then perhaps there's no need for makeup noh? Which is why I am sharing with you these products that I find very helpful to get that young, glowing skin at whatever age. It's so easy to join, everyone. You know the drill.

My wish for everyone this 2014: May this new year turn all your dreams into reality and all your efforts into great achievements. Because if there's one thing that 2013 taught me, it's HOW TO APPLY MAKEUP PROPERLY and distinguish one makeup brush from another. LOL! That, for me, is a MAJOR, MAJOR achievement. Go and check out my TOP 3 eye brushes which I can't seem to live without now. 'Coz I'm vain, like that. Tee hee. So what did 2013 teach you?
