Shu Uemura Compact Brush Set

Shu Uemura Compact Brush Set (4)

With an average rating of 5/5 from Sephora.com, I don’t think you can ever go wrong with this brush set. I just ordered these and I cannot wait for them to arrive.

I am thinking of getting myself something ‘big’ for Christmas. This is just so I can repay myself for all the hardwork.

I never really saw myself as a fan of Fendi, but I’m actually thinking of getting this Boston bag for myself. It costs slightly less than the Speedy 25. I’m just not sure if I’m going to find this in Manila, I doubt I will.

I also want this Airline Jacquard Pilot Bag from Marc by Marc Jacobs. This is so much more affordable and I guess fits my personality more. They have this in another color (red trimmings) but the (Mindnight) blue one  is less common. I’ve seen about 2 people who own the red one.

MICHAEL by Michael Kors Austin shoulder bag. I’m not quite sure if another white bag is a good idea. It looks really pretty though.

Un Sueno: Jeffrey Campbell Top Fringe Sandals

I’ve always wanted to buy these Jeffrey Campbell fringed gladiator sandals. They cost around $145.00. I was contemplating on either buying these or Tory Burch’s black patent leather Reva flats. I chose the latter, figured it was much better to invest in them.

Today, I finally got my fringed gladiator sandals. I was able to find something in a local shoe store (OTTO SHOES). They look exactly the same but the only cost me around Php 999.00

Good Things: Edward Cullen & a c200 Avant Garde

robolove:

A normal guy would say: “I love you Baby!”
Edward Cullen would say: “You are my life now.”

Normal Guy would say: “I think I am falling for you.”
Edward Cullen would say: “The Lion fell in Love with the Lamb”

Normal Guy would say: “You hair looks like a haystack; go brush it!”
Edward Cullen would say: “Your hair looks like a haystack but I like it.”

A normal guy would pick a random song from a random artist and dedicate it to you.
Edward Cullen would sing you a song he wrote for you while playing the piano.

If you die, a normal guy would find another.
If you die, Edward would kill himself cause life without you isn’t worth living.

“Well, I wasn’t going to live without you..” He rolled his eyes as if that fact were childishly obvious. “..but I wasn’t sure how to do it. I knew Emmet and Jasper would never help so I was thinking maybe I would go to Italy and do something to provoke the Volturi.”

As you leave the house, a normal guy would say: “Bye, see ya!”
As you leave the house Edward Cullen would say: “Come back to me, love.”

He smiled my favorite smile. “Hurry back to me.”
“Always.”

As you come back to the house, a normal guy would be watching TV and wouldn’t even notice.
As you come back to the house, Edward Cullen would be welcoming you by playing the piano with a song just for you.

“I heard the music before I was out of the car. Edward hadn’t touched his piano since the night Alice left. Now, as I shut the door, I heard the song morph through a bridge and change into my lullaby. Edward was welcoming me home.’

A normal guy would wait for you to make him breakfast.
Edward Cullen would make you breakfast everyday.

While you are both out for dinner, a normal guy wouldn’t keep his eyes off the sexy waitress.
Edward Cullen wouldn’t even notice the waitress was a female.

A normal guy, while driving, would keep one hand on the wheel and one hand on the radio.
Edward Cullen, while driving, would keep one hand on the wheel and the other attached to yours.

While far apart in different places, a normal guy would say: “I miss you.”
While far apart in different places, Edward Cullen would say: “It’s like you’ve taken half myself with you”

A normal guy wouldn’t care or notice if you had nightmares.
Edward Cullen would sing until your nightmares went away.
“Do you want me to sing to you? I’ll sing all night if it will keep the bad dreams away.”

A normal guy does it with everyone.
Edward Cullen only does it with one.

A normal guy buys you flowers and chocolates.
Edward Cullen buys you a car.

I like the last one, only because I could really use a c200 avant garde right now.

Tarte FRXion

Sugar based exfoliant on one side, lip balm on the other.

I seriously swear by this product, I just got my second one. Begin by exfoliating your lips with the rough sugary portion and them smooth them out with the lip balm. The packaging itself is very pretty and it even comes with a built-in mirror for on-the go application. Only $11 at Sephora.

Kiehl’s “ALOE VERA” Biodegradable Liquid Body Cleanser

Kiehl’s Aloe Vera Biodegrable Liquid Body Cleaner costs around $16.50 for a 6.8 OZ bottle. I’m giving you three reasons why you should buy it:

  1. It is made up of 100% biodegradable ingredients
  2. No parabens, SLS and Dyes
  3. Net profits from the sale of this product will support the work of JPF ECO SYSTEMS, a partnership created by Kiehl’s and Brad Pitt to maximize awareness on environment sustainability

Buy and help ‘power’ environmental campaigns all over the globe

Antonio Berardi PVC Boots

These $6,000 Antonio Berardi PVC boots remind me so much of those thigh high Chanel boots Anne Hathaway wore in The Devil Wears Prada… Oh but wait, those boots actually had friggin’ heels. You pay $6,000 dollars for these and they don’t even come with HEELS?! The question is: who would want to pay that much for these ridiculous looking boots and subject herself to such torture by wearing these boots that have no ounce of comfort in them?

Victoria Beckham, of course. Maybe she is a robot after all. She wore the pair while promoting their perfume at Macy’s New York. Ok, so it doesn’t really look that bad on her so I give her credit for being able to pull them off.
