January Favorites ♥
These are the things I’ve been loving since January. I apologize in advance for the lack of Beauty products on this post. I’ve been on a no-make-up-product shopping restriction since December, and I was doing okay… until a few days ago when I relapsed and bought some Sleek blushes online. Cause of relapse? Diana’s recent review on the newly released Sleek blushes :)
PS : Can you tell from my hair on this pic that I was frightened to death I might burn my eyes with the curling wand?
holy rosegold
One of my last purchases last year was to pre-order the Naked 3 Palette online. I had to wait three long months for it because half of the beauty community bought them all! You people are fast. And I was pleasantly happy to finally get my hands on it a week ago. It’s really really REALLY BEAUTIFUL. To be honest I didn’t think I would like it this much. I’ll explain more in the review post soon, but so far I think I like it better than the first Naked Palette.
Also, meet my good ol Mac Brave lipstick. It is one of the best MLBB (my lips but better) shades I’ve ever tried and it matches the rosegold eye shadows from the Naked 3 Palette really well. Like a match made in heaven. So I have been using both nonstop lately. My only complaint about it is I wish it lasted longer on the lips.
updating my wardrobe
I usually don’t share most of my fashion hauls in my blog because my camera has a tendency to show off and abnormally magnify imperfections of most fabrics. But since I had very few beauty related things to share with you today. I wanted to show some of my favorite accessories hauls this month.
I got the stunning black statement necklace and the basic black skater skirt it is laying on, from Promod. These rhinestone studded shoes are from Aldo – really pretty but hurts my ankles like hell sometimes. And I got this basic black “mature” bag from Charles and Keith.
Two things I wasn’t able to photograph today were my new Plains and Prints Navy Skort ala Kendall Jenner, and the sparkly bracelet sent to me by RoseWholesale which you can find in our ongoing giveway here.
blogging perk
These are one of the most memorable things I gained from blogging. A fellow blogger, and a good friend of mine, Naaj, sent me these Christmas presents last year… all the way from Europe! How sweet is that! She even included several “queen” themed stickers, which I carefully transferred on a piece of paper to keep. I never expected that I would meet such a generous and kind hearted person here. The best blogging perk will always be the friendships that we gain here.
And lastly are my two current entertainment obsessions, Tyler Posey’s abs the TV show Teen Wolf and Maklemore’s song Same Love, which has been stuck playing in my head for days now. I blame the Grammy’s for it. That is it for today ladies, I wish you a great and relaxing week ahead! :)

You're a beaut, love your fav :))
Sooo interesting! I look forward to your Naked 3 review, looooove that bag of yours and can totally see why Macklemore is once again stuck in our heads… Thrift shop was cool and all but Same Love has such a great message and that performance was so heart warming!

I still can't bring myself to like the UD Naked 3. Hahaha. But I love Macklemore's Same Love, though. It's such a great song <3

Whoaaa! I want the Naked 3! And Mackelmore's songs.. definitely great!
Love your images and dedication to Naaj I got the same gift and added to my instagram so true doll she its so sweet, kind and thoughful. We do gain permanent friends through blogging and its one of the best perks in my eyes. You look beautiful love how the lipstick compliments you perfect color.

you look good with your curls, shayne. and i love your recent hauls, esp the necklace. listening now to same love. hmmm. :)
Love your loot! I am so jealous of that Aldo wedge. :)
” The biggest blogging perk will always be the friendship we gain here.” Cant agree with you more. :)

Sleek blushes are amazing :P Although I feel bad about breaking your no shopping restriction :<
The Naked3 palette is so sweet. How could I thought about not getting it? I'm starting to feel sad about my original Naked 1, since it's quite left behind because of this one.
Those shoes! They are so pretty! I hope that you don't mind but, I might try to get a pair like yours. I'll have a Weeding to attend during the Summer and those shoes look perfect to the occasion. And the necklace looks to luxurious and detailed – just like the head piece you sent me :3
I haven't watched teen wolf yet. I heard really different opinions about it – I'm one of those persons who like to have really manly and scary Werewolf's xD Not saying that these aren't but, they don't look like something I would like.
I can't wait to read another post from you :3 Take care, have a nice day!*
I was also on a no-makeup shopping restriction late quarter of last year, too. But I couldn't resist buying the naked basics palette and sigma f80 brush :) Anyway, I really love the bag! Super! :)
amazing products *_* i love your wedges! your blog is very lovely and interesting. im glad if you visit my blog, too<3

Necklace is fantastic and I am going to check out my nearest Aldo for those sandels
Keep in touch

Gorgeous first picture! Your hair looks great! I suppose we should be carefull with the curling wand, even after many years of practice, accident will happen, and we don't want to loose our eyelashes or get a burn on our faces. I got one once, on my forehead and the hair could not cover it… XD
I'm starting to think I'm the only one who doesn't have one of those palettes…
The black bag is very classy and the presents are so sweet and pretty. I've been pleasently surprised about the blogging community, I've been meeting very sweet and kind people.
Lovely post! Take care.

What a nice list of favorites.
I'm also a big fan of Macklemore. I went to one of his concerts last year and it left a great impression on me :)

Oh forgot to mention, love those curls. You look gorgeous xxxx
You are sooooo beautiful! ^_^ Loved this post, and really cannot wait for the review of the Naked 3 (yes there have been loads but yours are some of the best so yay!) and I found the fashion bits really interesting too.
I totally agree with you about the biggest perk of blogging, even on my very short time of being in the blogosphere I feel so blessed to have met some absolute gems!

I like that necklace! Very bold but very pretty. :)
Hahah, fun read! I am very curious about Naked 3 but I will wait for a while before I get it. Maybe ask it for my birthday or something. Teen Wolf definitely got a lot better after the corny first season and it's quite funny. Unfortunately, Derek feels completely pointless.. which is a shame because he's hot. Macklemore is great :) x
Totally loving the lipstick you're wearing! And I'm so jealous that you have the Naked 3 palette already :)
I like that MLBB shade of Mac :)
The statement necklace looks pretty! It would actually be interesting to see how you would style it and your other fashion hauls :)) Haha.
And that reader is so sweet! It's really so cool how blogging can connect people from all over the world, right? Sometimes I wish there will be some sort of gathering for Bloggers (like VidCon for YouTubers :p) here in Singapore so I could meet some of the Singaporean bloggers I know. Haha. Then if there will be one in Philippines I'd also go so I can meet you too! Hahaha!
Love the naked palette! :) Also how I wish I have friends who'll send me stuff ALL THE WAY from Europe! Haha! :D
<3
so LOVE the Naked 3 palette as well! I definitely find that the colors in this palette are more wearable thank the first Naked palette.
And lucky you, having blogger friends all over the world to send you gifts :]

Hello, gorgeous! Ah, I definitely want to check out Naked 3 now. I LOVE the first one, and the second one was kind of meh for me. I'm still going through both palettes though, but I'd just love to have all three, haha.
Love Same Love. ^_^
I am hearing such great things about Naked 3. At first I thought 'meh', but people are starting to sway me. xD
That glorious Naked Palette. *A* It looks even cooler with your amazing pictures. <33
hsiogdfijo you're friend seems so kind. ;v; I hope you got some cool items!
Thank you for sharing. <3

Great favourites list sis! I'm drooling over that Naked 3 palette! Honestly I just want it coz it's rose gold theme and I'm obsessed with rose gold! I NEED it. hehe. The shoes and handbag is really pretty, that's my kind of shoes too, it's nice that we have that in common =D
I was so proud of Macklemore and Ryan Lewis when they won 4 grammys, especially since no record company helped them out, they did it all on their own. A big respect to them! <3
Take care always, love Christine ~ xo

hi sis! :) i preordered mine from a trusted sulit seller named beloved7 shop, just send her a message if you want one too. she's one of the sellers here in the PH that imports goods at a reasonable price :) also posted a review of the palette if you want to read more about it :D
QURL I THINK YOU'D STILL BE ATTRACTIF EVEN WITH A CHUNK OF BURNED HAIR ;) (+you look super gorgeous in the first photo CAN YOU GIVE ME A MAKEOVER PLS)
HOORAY FOR A SLEEK BLUSH HAUL THOUGH. Since I kinda did one of my own, hah. And now we both own Pomegranate!!
Usually not a fan of wedges/open toe shoes, but those wedges are so cute!
(And I know what you mean about the whole international friendships thing…I'm even willing to trust another person halfway across the world with my credit card number!….!)

hahaha thank you!! :D btw did you like pomegranate? i have mixed feelings towards that shade lol, it doesnt look nearly as berry as your revlon berry blush… or well see i havent really used it long enough. but i did like the other blush i bought from them :D
Great picks sis, I really enjoyed reading this post! And oohh I love your big curls :)

thank you sis! <3
Lovely favourites! Never seen MAC Brave before but it looks like a gorgeous MLBB shade. And love your selfie- you're so pretty. Nice blog btw- having lots of fun reading your posts! xx
Beautee Beauty
I always love visiting your beauty blog and reading what you have to recommend:)
You are so pretty & your curls are gorgeous and do not look like you were frightened of getting burned by your curling wand xD
The mac lipstick sounds wonderful but all of the mac lipsticks kinda dry my lips out throughout the day so mac lipsticks are a no-go for me:( 'cause of my horrible easily dry lips! My favorite MLLB is the NEONUDE line by colorsensational Maybelline in the color “NE06”! It's creamy and hydrating and the perfect lip color for me:)

(I havent opened my Sleek haul box yet so no I haven't tried Pomegranate…grrr)(I'll update you next week or something?)
hindi na nga ata :( but check it sis maybe they extended the sale on some items :)
will look forward to your review :D
I am really into this new thing for me where I make ombre lips (but not like over the top 80's lips) and the Mac color you picked out is going to be the perfect inner layer to my ombre. Love it.
You are so pretty! :)
thank you hihi! :D
ah i wish i can ombre my lips too but i have a discoloration on its outer “ring” which completely destroys the whole ombre look :D would love to see yours tho
Love the lipstick and you're so pretty!
thanks ellie!! :D
I love your photography! I cannot wait to get my camera up and running again, it's so frustrating just using a phone. I am also in love with the same love song. You should listen to Kodaline's version it is incredible! :)
