First Time Random Winner

Hey everyone!!! Have you ever joined contests or giveaways or even raffle draws and have never won anything? Then I know how you feel! haha! I often join those kinds of raffle draws but I never ever get lucky. BUT... Today, what's truly fascinating to know is that I won something without even joining anything for a raffled prize. =))

I got home tonight tired from a photo shoot, it was also fun though. I'm surely sharing it as soon as possible. Hehe! Then, I went on to check my Facebook and I noticed I received a random message from AvonPh telling me this...

Iza Calzado Rogue July 2012 Cover Inspired Makeup

Iza Calzado

Rogue July 2012

Photographed by Mark Nicdao

Styled by LA Consing Lopez

Make-up by Juan Sarte

Hair by Celeste Tuviera

Production Design by Candy Reyes

ROGUE does it again. Their covers always go viral and controversial over the web because of their classy, glamorous female celebrities gracing the photos. There was Anne's controversial cover holding a cigarette, that of KC Conception's revealing photo holding a man's amputated head(of course it was only a mannequin of some sort, hehe!) with a huge snake wrapped on her wrist. So now, I can't help but gush over this amazing photo of the beautiful Iza Calzado. Kudos to the whole team who made this possible.

I got so inspired that the moment I saw this, I pulled my makeup box, grabbed my brushes and started doing the same thing.

I did curl my hair first and let it set. My hair is naturally big and wavy but I thought it was a great opportunity to practice using my curling iron. And like always, I got burns and bruises. Haha! As they say, no pain-no gain. :D

Huge Collective Makeup Haul

I would have to admit, I'm so bad at hoarding stuff! I love makeup so much that most of the time, I can't help it and I'd find myself shopping for more and more. I love trying out new products and buying new things.  
I'm sort of an impulse buyer. I say "Sort of" because I'd still make it a point that I read and watch reviews of the things I'm gonna buy. I read and watch lots of reviews so if the products are raved about and I get the chance to get them, I will. Haha! Although most of the time, I just try to find more things that I think would be useful for my kit since I do freelance hair and makeup service. I would just always tell myself that I'm surely going to use them. Hehe!
And another thing... I'm not so sure if it's just me but I really want new products to be in their tip-top shape for photo ops. I'm always imagining my newly bought makeups being photographed for my blog. Haha! So what happens is that if I forget to take a picture of the product, I almost completely forget about it. They just all get stuck in my drawers unopened, some even kept inside their plastic pouches from how it was exactly purchased. Untouched. Bad me.. >.<


Now let's go and get started in this huge haul...

Even though most of these items are untouched for at least a while, some are actually backups for my favorite things.

Weekend Love

Just thought I'd share with you this random post of how my weekend went. =)

I always feel so happy and blessed to spend time with my loved ones.

Last Saturday, I went to a makeup gig in Calamba, Laguna with Jay. He was so sweet to go with me and help me carry my stuff! Wee! Thank you! The bride was actually his high school classmate so it was okay. If you want to read about that makeover, click here.

Then later in the day, we went to his local organization - Junior Chamber International (JCI) which was holding a Sportsfest. The venue was just in the same area. After watching the first basketball game, Jay brought me back home to Cavite. I needed to finish shipping out Encara BB Cream orders, then we decided to stroll around and then eat dinner. 

 Mang Inasal was just a street away from my courier so it was the best option to dine in. Besides, we've both been tired the whole day from all the walking and commuting. Haha! We both ordered the best-seller "Pecho" - PhP 99.00

We bought my current favorite drink, Lipton's Red Tea Iced Tea from 7-11. ;)

Unwrapping: Online Shopping

It was an ordinary day two Fridays ago, as I was all busy doing my everyday work, until another sweet surprise came by through this...

Woot!!! Hehe!I've been kind of getting hooked with online shopping since so far I've not encountered any trouble or hassles with it. Haha! Plus, I love buying things on SALE. So whenI saw some online shops selling some goodies at an amazing discounted price, I willfully indulged myself. Hehe!


Take a peek and see the items I got. =)
