Getting a new ink soon!

Okay, its been awhile since my last post, been busy with family gatherings and stuff for the holidays, today I'm posting about something that has nothing to do with makeup. But first, happy holidays! :D

We're living in a country where people think that tattooed people are convicts, but that is if you get a tattoo 10 years ago. Nowadays people are starting to appreciate and love the idea of tattoo, not only because it looks cool but because its purely art!

When I got my first tattoo, my mom was furious, and wanted me out of the house, saying, "Haven't you read 1 Corinthians 6:19-20? I've told you a hundred times not to get a tattoo! Anak, You just made me feel unhappy. Out!" My parents unhappy, I can't bear. I never thought of talking back cause; I didn't know what to say and I already knew that getting a tattoo is a very big deal for my parents and I understood them (a little). Well good thing they got it over with. BUT I'm planning to get a new one done soon, and I don't know how would I explain to them. Anyways I just found the perfect one on my back or my arm. And I'm very very excited about it. My best friend is a tattoo artist and it would be lovely if she would do it, but she just went back to Austria to get married so I have no choice but to look for a tattoo artist who is good with the kind of design I want.

Before I sign out I want to show you the tattoo design I really really want and its by Audrey Kawasaki who became popular of making Japanese/Manga/Erotic type of art on wood. 

Nice huh? <3 Have a great one!

How To: Rehydrate Dry and Chapped Lips

Good day everyone! :)

Thank you sa mga readers ng previous posts ko. Lalo ako naiinspire magpost pa ng madami.
Gusto kong maging consistent sa mga How To ko na puro affordable at madaling hanapin sa tindahan ang mga kakailanganin para sa lahat ng klase ng babae, hindi lang mayaman ang may karapatang gumanda diba. :)

Ang How To na ito ay para sa mga boys, girls or girls-at-heart na may dry, bitak-bitak at kung minsan nagdudugo pang lips.

Karaniwang symptoms;

• Peeling of the lips o pagbabalat ng mga labi
• Pagdurugo ng bibig
• Sensitibong lips
• Painful lips
• Open sores, marks

Ang mga nagiging cause ng pagkadry ng balat at lips ay;

• Climate change
• Over-exposure sa araw
• Smoking
• Dehydration
• Vitamin deficiencies ( Vitamin A, Vitamin B, Vitamin C, Vitamin B2 at Vitamin E)
• Pagkain ng spicy food
• O mas masama pa may Skin Disorder
• Frequent lip licking 

Mga pwede niyong gawin para maiwasan:

• Madami ako kakilala na palaging dinidilaan ang mga labi. Huwag niyong lick ang lips niyo. Licking your lips makes them feel better, pero pag natuyo na ang laway, lalo lang magiging mahapdi at magdadry.
• Drink plenty of water, mga 6 to 8 glasses a day.
• Avoid niyo ang paggamit ng products na hindi niyo subok o hindi niyo alam kung hypo-allergenic
• Increase the amount of needed vitamins in your diet o kaya ay magtake ng vitamin pills
• Protect your lips from the sun.

Basic na pwedeng treatment sa dry and chapped lips;

• Use Petroleum Jelly, super effective talaga, may mga mumurahing petroleum jelly sa maliit na jar, mabibili sa local drugstore. Every night maglagay sa labi at  gently scrub your lips with a spare toothbrush then after niyan wipe it all off at maglagay ulit ng manipis na petroleum jelly sa labi at pwede na kayong matulog, pag gising, sure na soft and subtle ang lips niyo!

• Kung kaya mo naman bumili, try Burt's Beeswax.

• Pipino treatment. Ipahid lang ang slice ng cucumber araw araw sa lips. Tapos isawsaw sa asin at kainin. Haha sayang eh. LOL

Ready na kayo makipag kiss-kissan. Sana makatulong =) 

Nice and Cheap: Ever Bilena Matte Lipstick

Magandang holiday sa lahat :) Gusto kong ishare ang lipstick na ginagamit ko, para na rin sa mga nagtatanong.

Para sa katulad kong kapos sa budget, matagal tagal din ang search ko sa mura at maaasahang lipstick. Then I found Ever Bilena sa mall dahil 120 pesos lang (ngayon 140 pesos na) na curious ako kung maganda ba quality so ni-try ko at nasiyahan ako sa result.
And yun na ang ginamit ko since, kase long-lasting at comfortable gamitin kaya nagstick ako, and I highly recommend it, para sa mga kuripot, nagtitipid o maliit lang ang budget sa cosmetics kasi its very affordable, kaso may bali-balita na ipe-phase out na daw nila (hindi ako naniniwala LOL!)

Ipapaliwanag ko muna kung ano ang "matte" lipstick. Ito ay type ng lipstick na hindi shiny dahil less ang gloss na nakahalo dito, at kilala sa  ability nito na mag-last buong araw, though its not recommended for dry and chapped lips, kasi magiging panget ang effect at lalong magda-dry ang lips. (Tips on how to rehydrate your lips soon!) Nauso to nung 1900s pa at hanggang ngayon ginagamit pa rin worldwide.

Nagtatanong yung ibang mga friends about sa color at type na dapat nilang gamitin kaya let me show you the swatches, ito yong mga best colors na meron sila.

Importante sa pagpili ng kulay, kung komportable kayong gamitin yun at kung bagay ito sa kulay ng balat niyo, dun na makikita yung importance ng tester sa mall, you don't have to try it on your lips kase hindi natin alam kung sino ang previous na gumamit nun, kaya sa arm na lang. Sana nakatulong ito ;)

How to: Clean your makeup brushes!

Months ago, I've suffered from Bacterial Conjunctivitis, an eye infection. The white part of my eyes were swollen with thick yellowish green discharge causing blurry and fluctuating vision. I was in pain for 2 long months, my eyes felt like burning, it was unbearable. It was so bad that I had to take antibacterial meds, eye ointment and eye lubricant in order to see things clearly. I was furious then I realized it was my fault because the day before I had it, I was practicing makeup using brushes that I haven't cleaned since the day I bought them (a month since).
So, lesson learned! DO NOT EVER FORGET TO CLEAN THEM MAKEUP BRUSHES!

So now, I wanna show you how I clean makeup brushes without having to buy those expensive brush cleaners.

Things you need:
-> Dishwashing liquid (better if its antibac) or shampoo
-> Water
-> clear glass or bowl (yes, clear)
-> Clean cloth

Aight, all set?

1. Pour water on your glass or bowl, must be half full, then add a bit of dishwashing liquid or shampoo, like 2 to 3 drops. Stir gently, avoid making bubbles. See?

2. Dip your brush into the mixture for a moment. Its very important that you dont dip the whole brush just the half tip to avoid shedding, don't ruin your precious brushes =). You can dip it 2 to 3 times or more if you like. Do it like the picture below.

3. Squeeze the excess liquid by pushing it gently against the glass you are using. Like the one below, see?

4. Gently run your brush over a cloth, notice all the color from old makeup? Do it repeatedly.

5. Run the bristles of the brush under warm running water or you can just get a clean bowl of water and do the dipping again. Continue rinsing until no color leaves the brush.

6. Allow the brushes to air-dry.

Whew! Done with all of 'em.

And, viola! Your clean, germ-free makeup brush!.

Hope this helps. =) I apologize for the grammar. LOL

Blogging, unang kabanata.

Matagal-tagal kong pinagisipan kung itutuloy ko ba ang kahibangang ito. Dumaan na sa isip ko na hindi naman dapat ako nagiisip na may maitutulong ako sa ibang tao dahil katulad nila, pare-parehas lang kami ng kakayahan. Pero sa huli naisip ko na isang malaking kahibangan din ang pagiisip ng ganung bagay. In the end, nanalo ang parte ng isip ko na magBlog nga ako. Hindi ko hinahangad na sumikat 'to o magkaron man ako ng pangalan. Gusto ko lang makarating 'to sa mga taong interesado.

Mga bagay na pinroblema sa pagsisimula ng blog:

1. To blog or not to blog
2. Magblog man, sino ang target?
3. Pangalan ng blog
4. English o Tagalog?
5. Bigla kong gustong mag back-out
6. Paano sisimulan
7. Paano kung maubusan ng Ideas?
8. Design ng blog
9. Kulay ng blog para hindi masakit sa mata
10. Negatibong pagiisip

Nalagpasan ko na ang mga problemang yan at masaya naman ako sa kinalabasan. Hahaha, nagdecide na rin ako na wag na problemahin kung may magbabasa man nito o wala, ang mahalaga masaya ako dahil gusto ko 'to. =)
