VIVA LA SENOR1T4!

After winning last year's title of Overall Champs, we're vying for a back-to-back victory! It dawned to me that this being my last intrams, I've been in the pep squad for 4 straight years. But hey, at least I got to make tarps and banners for the batch!

You make me

My new baby after weeks of waiting: Urban Decay's Naked 2 PaletteI guess I can say that I've graduated from my lip balm stage and upgraded on my makeup collection. I've been eyeing on this palette for quite some time and after a very long wait, I finally got it! I preferred this over Naked because of the matte shades and Blackout although I'm not a huge fan of the brush that came with it since the bristles were too hard for me. I was considering getting Naked first because of the free eye primer but the lip gloss that came with Naked 2 seemed just as promising. I'm actually looking forward to using this to more nights out in the future! (A big thank you to my aunt and uncle from Canada! I'm absolutely in love with this one! Advanced Merry Christmas woohoo) 

Naked 2 sells originally sells for about 50$ but because of tax, my aunt had to pay 80 CAD for the palette. This isn't commercially available here in the Philippines but if you look hard enough, you can find a whole bunch of knock-offs online. I don't recommend getting it though since it would be like buying an allergic reaction instead of an actual beauty product. I'm not much of a beauty junkie so here's an in-depth review of the palette I got. 
Putting my chances of becoming a beauty blogger aside, my sister took her fangirling to a whole new level by ordering One Direction's Our Moment perfume. Some of my friends were apprehensive about getting this because they were afraid it wouldn't smell nice but the scent's actually pretty good. Still, I don't think anyone would catch its scent and know it's the 1D perfume.

Change in Pressure

I kept telling my self that I need to post on my blog more often. So, I made a promise to constantly update this despite school and everything happening. The lack of updates should be blamed on my laziness because school's such a hassle and wears me out 100% of the time. Basically, I'm just too lazy to lug my camera around wherever I go. It's a good thing my phone takes quality photos, so most of my "adventures" end up on my Instagram account. Here's a few photos I took the past few months that didn't make it to this blog (until now).
And the adventure began last summer, when I flew ALONE to my province, Bacolod. (Bucket List #119: Fly alone on an airplane) I had too much fun with my cousins and I ended up putting my CET reviewers away. The summer was well spent because of the taho I had everyday and all the things I couldn't do back here in Manila.
So, after a kick-ass summer, I was welcomed by a package from Canada containing my favorite things: Pistachios, Bikini tops, and Licorice. From a swimming trip in Laguna, my dad drove me straight to Makati so I can watch Mayday Parade live for the 4th time. (#clutch)
