Busy as a Bee

It's been a while again since my last post here. I've been in and out of the hospital last week due to minor gallbladder issue and also been busy with the wedding preps and furnishing our unit. God is so good. I always thank Him for all the blessings. If i won't be here, you may find me at my wedding blog i'm usually updating it for some preparation progress.

Will try to drop by here more often for some updates :)

Ciao!

Earthy Look

My Makeup Personality:  Earthy

Note: This is not me. How i wish I was as pretty as her :)

I took the quiz for "What's you inner make up look?" and got this result...

“Classic,” “practical,” and “no-frills” are words that perfectly describe your personality. It's not that you don't have a sense of adventure; you just like surrounding yourself with familiar, comforting things. Within your inner circle, you're seen as the voice of reason—you may tolerate your friends' crazy ideas, but you're also there to bring them down to earth before things get out of hand.


The makeup look that suits you? Why, the "no makeup" look, of course! Clean, luminous skin, lush lashes, a rosy glow, and natural lips characterize this. Think of it as an enhanced version of your bare face—a fresh, girl-next-door vibe, if you will. Go for long-lasting products in natural shades so you won't have to worry about constantly reapplying makeup throughout the day. You have other things to worry about, after all!

*** True enough.  I only go for a 'natural look'  whenever i go out or attending some events. Just a simple dub of powder on my face, eyelash-curled, a little blush on and put some pink lippie then off i go. It's not that i don't want putting heavy make up on but it is because i don't know how to. I am yet to try it, one of these days as per hubby's request :)

If you want to know what's your makeup personality.. Go ahead and take this quiz.

PF- Pink Nail Art

It's Pink Fridays. Glad that i am able to join again this week.. and hopefully it continues every week. I missed doing memes. I'm quite busy with everything. My lil princess has grown up so fast and now she has lots of demands. I can't seem to stay online for long.

Anyway,  here's my entry for this week. I had my first (self-made) nail art. And guess what, it turns out cute. Not bad for a first timer. hehe Though i am yet to master putting colored nail polish well so it won't look blowsy. Overall, i'm quite satisfied with my first-nail-art-attempt.

Fingernails... taken from a phone's cam.. (the color looks fuchsia here but its actually pink)

Happy PF girls. Happy Weekend as well.

I Won A Summer Giftpacks from Avon

That day, i was feeling light and positive. I had a slight feeling that something good will happen. I don't know. But i just feel it. I turned my laptop on, open my facebook account the usual way when i noticed from the newsfeed on my fb wall,  Avon had finally announced the winners for their SSS HBL Summer Promo. It was then that i remembered, i also sent an entry for that contest. So without any expectations, i slowly browsed Avon's page to see the name of the lucky winners. My heart beats faster when i saw my name.

I can hardly believe it. My blog entry was chosen among several entries which has been submitted for that promo. I almost jump and shout for joy. I was overjoyed by the fact that this is my first major winning. Can you believe it? I never felt so lucky all my life. God is good. He always blessed the good people. I have probably done something good to make me worthy of this blessing. Thank you, Lord.

I have won these Avon's Summer gift packs. So love it :)

Two 250ml SSS HBL, 1 Taylor Multi-way Underwire Brassiere, 1 Brittany 7-in-1 Panty Pack, 1 Taylor Tank and Shorts Set, 1 Spring Green Ring, 1 pair of Spring Green Earrings and an Exclusive Avon Summer Bag
