I Just Had A Good Hair Day :)

Oh alright, it sounds pretty random and insignificant, but having permed hair means I usually get a messy bunch of frizz by the end of the day! But today, I tried out a very (stupidly) simple solution, and it worked, and my hair was amazingly bouncy and defined after 18 hours of moving around :)

Review: Celeteque Advanced Light Cleansing Oil

Most beauty aficionados are likely to be familiar with the term ‘cleansing oil’, which until recent years, has almost referred exclusively to the Shu Uemura Cleansing Oil. Other brands have followed suit, although with varying degrees of similarity and function. Recently, local hypoallergenic brand Celeteque (which apart from the Garnier line, is my go-to for the best “basic” skincare) has introduced a cleansing oil to their Advanced (anti-aging) line of products.

Let me explain how I came by this in the first place. I have slightly sensitive but extremely oily skin, and it’s been that way for a while. All throughout high school and early college years, I had constant breakouts and I only enjoyed clear skin when I discovered Celeteque (for maintenance skin care) and Garnier (for treatment-based skin care) in 08-09. 

Shoot: Deconstruct with UP Architecture Forum

This was by far the most work I've done in a single shoot, and it was a lot of fun :) Models walked in and out and each look had to be a bit unique for each person.

The shoot was for the posters of Deconstruct 2011, an annual back-to-school party hosted by the UP Architecture Forum. Most of the "crew" were my college classmates, so it was a lot of fun!

For more information regarding this shoot, read Nina Pilapil's post here :) These photos are directly from her blog :)

Bellyfest 2011 - Show/Stage Makeup!

I just very recently started using a new product and it instantly became my Holy Grail for long-lasting makeup. What else could it be but...

Silicone-based Primer!!! (will do a review soon..)

On June 25, 2011, Peak Performance Dance + Fitness held the 5th annual Bellydance Festival in the Philippines, aka Bellyfest 2011. I am currently part of a performing bellydance organization (UP Indak Oryantal), and we had so much fun as part of the performances that night :)
