I never really cared much for shoes until recently when I realised that there are so many shoes in my shoe closet that need replacing. Now, I'm obsessed. Well, not entirely, perhaps, but I have been going on this hunt for the perfect footwear, finding the most comfortable and flexible shoes I can manage to get.

M.A.C. Strobe Cream and Studio Fix Powder + Foundation

I mentioned before that I'd requested my aunt to purchase for me some M.A.C. products, among them, the Strobe Cream and, because I needed it for theatrical purposes, the Studio Fix Powder + Foundation.
I first learned to use compact powders from my grandmother who has always been...who always was very conscious of how she looked and presented herself to people. I was nine when I received my first powder compact but though I enjoyed using it--it made me feel like a proper little lady--I eventually stopped doing so as it was very tiresome for me.
Fast forward to the 2000s when work has forced to me consider foundation (powder or otherwise) a necessity.

IHeart Organizing: Conquer Clothing Clutter!
This tidbit is brought to you by 
Okay, I officially love Jen's blog. I see so many things that I can use for around the house and so many ideas that I can mix and match and adjust to suit my needs.
I'll be tackling my closet soon so her entries on it is quite the eye opener/inspiration for me. There is so much I'm learning from her, seriously. It makes me want to take pictures of the entire process and progress I'm making just so I can show it all off too! XD

L'Oreal Renewal Lash Serum, Week One

Introducing a new experimental product (and by that I mean something I may or may not keep using), L'Oreal's Renewal Lash Serum.
I am a huge fan of anything that will make my lashes look more dramatic, regardless of whether it will look natural or not, so when this product came out, I was very excited.

The claim:
L'Oreal Renewal Lash Serum is an intensive formula enriched with arginine (an amino acid) and centella (which is apparently an herb, therefore an herb extract) to help give lashes a boost of nourishment to reivie and renew them, as well as prevent excessive lash fall out.
My Suesh Brush Set

This is my Suesh 12-piece brush set!
The actual cost for this set is PhP2,200 but I got it on sale for PhP1,700. I've been using it for nearly a month now and it's so worth it!
For those like me who are first time users of professional quality brushes, care and maintenance is a must! The brush set comes with care instructions which is excellent as I wouldn't have known the first thing in brush maintenance.
Properly cared for, these ought to last me a good long time and since I'm a non-pro, having all these tools handy is definitely a huge help in cutting down my prep time.

Fat Mum Slim's June Photo A Day 10: The Best Part of My Weekend
My birthday was in April but I only really managed to celebrate it with some friends yesterday when we had our Dubliners reunion.
This cake was ordered all the way back in March from The Bunny Baker, who managed to put together my vague vision of a pot of gold and lucky charms in a field of grass and flowers together into this gorgeous confection.
Optimistically, I chose a very Irish theme for the cake because at the time, we hadn't gotten our Irish visas yet and we were all praying so hard we'd be able to attend the wedding.
Well, ta-daaaaa!

Ireland 2012, Part 6: The Fil-Irish Wedding
I have so few photos to share for the wedding day mainly because I was actually participating and not just a guest, harhar. Also, there are usually fewer photos when my husband has the camera. He's really not that kind of artist.
I love you anyway, darling. :D
I don't know why but I get so much more emotional with other people's weddings. I didn't cry a single tear at mine, much to our photographer's dismay--and likely to our make-up artist's relief. (LOL!) But I cried at both of my best friends' weddings, especially at this one, the one that happened in Ireland, because if you track back on all the entries labelled Ireland 2012, you'll see the kind of stress that my best friend (and really, everyone else involved) went through.

Fat Mum Slim's June Photo A Day 09: My View Today
First of all, you might be wondering what happened to my Day 08 photo. In a sentence: it got corrupted. >.< Something went wrong with my memory stick and it churned out an invalid photo although I was so sure I was able to take the shot.
*sigh*
Anyway, this is Day #9: My View Today.
Remember that empty desk from this entry? Not so empty today because I've been fixing more of the boxes of junk--mostly paper--that accumulated over the past year here in our home office. In fact, my mum, as I was writing this, popped in and upon looking around the office immediately went "Wow, you've cleared out a lot of stuff!"
Why yes, yes I did and I'm quite proud of the progress I'm making. :D

From Tony Burgess on Tumblr: Conflict Resolution From A Faith Perspective, For Everyone
Conflict Resolution From A Faith Perspective, For Everyone
It's interesting how I came across this just when I'm in most need of this kind of little rap on the head.
How I deal with confrontations is rather paradoxical. I'd very easily take up arms and storm the neighbour's house should they be causing too much noise at "Why the heck are you still making such a racket"-o'clock. I've been known to storm across the road to yell at production crews shooting TV shows or movies at a neighbour's house if their lights and/or undue noise (meaning voices or any other sound not belonging to actors saying lines or doing whatever they're required for a scene) disturbs my peace.
More personal matters are another thing entirely.
