December 2012 Hit Listers

Hi guys. This is way overdue, but better late than never. =) I've been so busy prepping up new requirements for my new job, and it's taking quite too much of my time. Anyways, before the new year started, here are some of the stuff that made me happy.

1. Neutrogena Deep Clean Blackhead Eliminating Cooling Toner
- Out of all the toners I've tried, this is probably the coolest because it actually feels cool when put on, and it stays that way for quite a while.It also helps my pimples dry up. Review of this to follow

2. 4u2 dreamGirl Touch Loose Powder
-When I ran out of my second BB powder from 4u2, my shade was not yet available so I decided to try this loose powder type. It's actually pretty good, not much coverage but good still.

3. Ellana Mineral Blush in Tryst
-I've had this for a while but I it's only last month when I really started using it all the time. Read my review here

4. Lip Smacker's M&M Lip Shake Gloss in Raspberry & Milk Chocolate
- This one's given to me by my sister for Christmas, and it rocks. It tastes just like chocolate and it smells so good.

5. Bath & Body Works Twisted Peppermint Hand Soap

-This hand soap smells so Christmas-y that it was so perfect to use. Plus, it has particles that felt good to use for scrubbing.

6. Neon Necklaces

- These necklaces brings a cool statement to any outfit. I only have two for now but I'm definitely buying more. Hello DIvisoria! =)

7. Sungkyunkwan Scandal/Secret Love
-Most of the K-dramas I see or will see on TV nowadays are either melodramas or sageuk inspired. Sungkyunkwan Scandal is a gender bender historical drama that I actually enjoyed watching. Park Min Young and Park Yoochun rocked their roles, and Song Joong ki was just adorable.

8. NCIS
-Of all the police procedural shows I've watched, NCIS would have to be my most favorite. It's funny, witty, and spot-on. It also has a set of characters that I enjoy watching. The Dinozzo and Mcgee tandem is just plain hilarious.

9. Nail Polishes
-I'm "reviving" my love for nail polishes, and I've purchased quite a few last December. Hopefully, I'd be able to use them all before they dry up.

10. The Beauty Department (thebeautydepartment.com)
-From hairstyles, make-up tips to nail art designs, The Beauty Department has always been my go-to website. I've been an avid reader for so long that it's actually the first site I visit when I go online. Here's their latest post.

I'll make sure to follow this up with my January list. Have a great day! Cheerio!

October 2012 Hit Listers

Hi guys. Since another month has ended, I would like to share with you the stuff I got hooked on last month.

During the end of September this year, I did a fan-girling round up and some sort of beauty products favorites. As much as I love the idea, I realized that I didn't have enough stuff or budget to share with you 10 beauty items that I love every month. Maybe in the near future I could do that. But for now, I decided to bring my fan-girling moments and love for other things into one monthly entry. So here goes! =)

Here are my 10 favorites for the month of October in no particular order. =)

1. Etude House Happy Teatime Lemon Tea Cleansing Cream
-Although I almost always hurt my eyes when I use this, I love using this as my makeup remover. This was my sister's until I asked for it because she rarely used it.

2. Kabuki Brush from Landmark
-I've had this for a while but it wasn't until a couple of weeks ago did I start using it again. It's one of the most versatile brushes I have. I use this to apply powder or a hint of powder blush.

 3. Etude House Shine Up Stick in Rose Pink

- I've reviewed it here and I just love using it as a white-ish eyeliner for my lower lashline. Totally opens up the eyes and it's creamy too.

4. E.L.F. Professional Eyeshadow Brush

-I've had this for almost 2 years and I still love it. It's my go-to eyeshadow brush and it has never shed nor bled.

5. Saizen 12-pc Sponge Wedges

- I use this for nail arts and liquid/cream products application. Despite its price, it's actually of good quality that allows me to use each piece for a long time.

And now for the non-beauty related stuff but still cool for me... =)

6. Tru Calling

-For the quite scary month of October, I started watching Tru Calling over and over again. Although it only has 1 and about a half seasons, I completely hooked.

Tru Calling is about Tru Davies (played by Eliza Dushku), an almost medical student who winds up with a job at the morgue...on the graveyard shift. Throughout her stay as a morgue attendant, Tru discovers her uncanny gift. When a dead person, who isn't supposed to die, calls for her help (the body literally tweaks and says "Help me" ever so creepily), Tru relieves the day and tries to save the person. Most of the time, the episodes are creepy but good nonetheless. Personally, I think it has one heck of a good arc and plot. I don't know why it was cancelled. =(

7. Faith

- One name: Lee Min Ho. Should I end this now? Kidding. Although I’ve only watched snippets of the episodes, I’ve read the recaps in Dramabeans. Every single recap. It’s good, at least for me. The whole time travelling never gets old for me. Plus, Lee Min Ho looks good in a soldier kind of costume, and curly hair that’s much better than his Jun Pyo curly hair.

8. Demi Lovato’s Intimate Performances

- I am and forever will be a Demi Lovato fan, and if you are too or if you just wanna check her out, go and watch her intimate performances. I don’t know how she does it but she just makes me cry when she sings. Watch and you’ll see why.

9. Ailee’s I’ll Show You

-When I caught a part of her music video “Heaven” when she debuted, I immediately thought, “Wow, she sounds so good.” There was a Western twang to her singing voice that made me love her. Her new song is about showing her former lover that she’ll be this better and prettier girl that he would want to get back to.

10. Jen of frmheadtotoe

- I make it a point to watch YouTube makeup tutorials on a regular basis. And while I can’t always watch new ones, I make sure to check out those I love. I first discovered Jen of frmheadtotoe when I was looking for a tutorial on IU’s makeup, and I then started watching all her videos. (Check her blog here and her YouTube site here) She’s really good and I loved her more on the short webseries “Away We Happened.” (Wanna watch it? Click here)

So that's it! Hope you guys had a great October. Cheerio!
