Happy Friday! Volume #1

Who doesn’t love a Friday? It’s the start to the weekend where we beauty lovers can get some more time to indulge in our stashes of beauty items. More so we get maybe some time for ourselves to just do nothing much or something extravagant! It’s also a time for me to share more about me to you that may or may not be beauty related. Feel free to share what you will be up to this weekend. Happy Friday!

Weekend plans? A makeup party with my cousin Amy! We girls love to get together and experiment with our existing makeup items. I did her makeup once and it was great! Check it out here. And if I get the time, I will catch up on my movie watching. My nieces want to see Alvin & the Chipmunks 2.

Any beauty splurges? I was just casually strolling through the mall looking for food and popped into Wonderful World since there were so many pretty feathery things. I got the last Ruby Kisses 24 hour magic primer. Yeah! I also got me my first Revlon contour blending brush. Can't wait to start using this one.

The wonderful Revlon lady at Pennywise, Trincity Mall said the new Revlon items should be in store first week of February so I will be on the hunt for the new Revlon Colorburst Lip butters, 16 hours eye-shadow quads, crème eyeliners, photoready 3D mascara and sculpting blush palettes.

Just me? I can’t seem to stop the excessive amount of hair from my head from falling. Trying out the GNC women’s hair, skin and nails program. I am hoping these vitamins will work!

Happy Friday!

Coffee Date Night with Bae

There are some simple pleasures in life that I enjoy. Coffee is one of them and a good lipgloss. Today I can have both of them together while we go for a date with bae! Sacha Cosmetics has blown me away with their new intense lipshine glosses and awesome names. I love when companies try to just be real with their customers even in these small details.

Let’s Go to Work with MAC Melba Blush

My work place is pretty open to makeup but I would definitely prefer to keep a simple office type look while there and maybe on casual Fridays for work and on the weekends have a separate look. What I realized when scanning though my makeup stash was that most of my blushes were way too loud for the office so what better excuse to use to hop down to my favourite MAC store. :)
Now just to mention it, don’t try attempting to get quick service on a Friday or Saturday at the MAC store. It’s usually super busy. The MAC makeup artists are always so helpful though but you may require a bit of patience. But patience I had that day which led me to my beloved Melba blush. I just needed the colour to suit my NC 45 skintone, be a powder blush for simple application and be matte, not shimmery. We did try out Fleur Power first, which is a soft pinky coral colour but I still felt it was a tad too bright. Melba however was a soft, coral peach colour and look really great on me when she applied with h…

Hot Milk Sponge Cake with Fresh Fruit & Coconut

In today's yummy post we are doing an easy sponge cake (no creaming of butter and sugar involved). Instead of torting this cake we are using two loaf pans to give us our two layers, which we will pull together with vanilla buttercream. I love the rectangular look of this cake rather than the traditional round or square but more importantly the flavors of the toasted coconut on the sides and fresh fruit on top makes for a mouth watering dessert.
