Someone Still Lives Here!

Published by

Hello everyone! Posts have been slow as of late for a couple of reasons. One of them being that sometimes I don’t really know what to write about. I don’t know if you guys still enjoy product reviews, so let me know if you still do? Since I’m on a spending ban, I haven’t been the first to get anything~ in any collection so I live vicariously through other bloggers and vloggers and friends. Anyway. Let me know! I will review the rest of the stuff I have stockpiled here, lol. I’m also waiting on a huge MAC purchase that my Canadian friend, Laura, helped me put together, but they’re all semi-basic so I don’t know if I will even review them, really. Also, I think I’ve spoken about that in a post a while ago… and now you know why I had to put myself on a ban. Another reason is that I have been hard at work at… well, my work! If you don’t know (which I don’t expect you to), I am …

Liebster Award!

Published by

Hello everyone! I was nominated by Dandelion Whiskers for the Liebster Award a few days ago, and I received a few more nominations~ (by Totally Tamryn and Rose-Tinted Beauty) in between then and now, because I’m so lazy. For the uninitiated, the Liebster award is given to up-an-coming bloggers with less than 200 followers. 🙂 The rules are: Share 11 facts about yourself. Answer the awarder’s 11 questions. Ask 11 questions of your own. Nominate 11 bloggers. ________________ So, fun stuff (?) about me, in eleven parts: My senior thesis was on Veronica Mars from Veronica Mars, Angela Chase from My So-Called Life, and Buffy Summers from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I just got into make up (extensively and obsessively) a few months ago. I have not looked back since. I am quite happily in a relationship currently. 2013 marks our second year together! I studied BFA Information Design in Ateneo de Manila University. I taught Introduction to Illustration a few years later. I’ve only had one desk job, for one month. After which, I …

What’s in my bag? (January 2013)

Published by

A short(ish) video—as short as I could make it—on the crap I stuff in my bag. Fun fact: I’ve always wanted to vlog, and tried when I was 19, but it didn’t work out because I’m awkward as heck. Obviously. Anyway, I hope you enjoy watching this hastily-edited video! I would love to see what’s in your bags or purses. 🙂

Makeup Raves from the Unlikeliest Or, Why This Blog Exists

Published by

I have had apprehensions about this descent into makeup madness, especially about actually writing about cosmetics and other girly things. It’s partly because it was a foreign sort of obsession, in that it was far removed from things I usually liked. Also, I didn’t really know all that much about it yet, so I didn’t know if I “deserved” to talk about it like I was an expert. Mainly though, I shied away from the idea because there’s a certain stigma associated with “frivolous” endeavors like this. I suppose things that focus on physicality and vanity, instead of “nobler pursuits” like literature, culture, art or whatever else people think falls in that category. I finally put this blog up less than a month ago because makeup made me happy. That’s the simplest reason there is. It made me happy to talk about it and to share the great and not-so-great things I’ve tried. I liked writing about makeup and discovering new things about it. Since it’s not a conversation staple with people I hang out …
