090611 First Time in Violet

With Borgy Manotoc

It was a great day for me so I was in the mood to fix myself up. (Yep, its not a bad hair day for me and it just followed me perfectly all day!) Iwent to this event along Taft Ave. to meet a couple more bloggers I haven't met before.

I was a bit hesitant to wear this violet satin top from my a thrift shop because it's sort of loose on the chest area wherein I am not gifted with. Also, I have doubts with violet, I know that color never will suit me.

But much to my surprise, I didn't know that this top would fit me perfectly! I paired this with black leggings and a yellow wedged heels. (I wanted to wear my black pumps but I had to change it because it wont fit me! I have to bring it back to the shoemaker and complain again)

Shamcey Supsup for Miss Universe 2011

I have handled a couple of beauty pageants during my college days, both in our local college and university wide. I have been exposed to different kinds of problems and mishaps before, during, and after the events but that just strengthened me as a person now. I am glad our last university wide beauty pageant, Mr. and Ms. UMak (University of Makati) was a huge success and now I miss handling such events.

NYX Lip Cream for Morena

I have always had this difficulty in trying out different kinds lippies (lipsicks). I only have 2 colors in my make-up kit - Loreal #310 Drum Beat Red and NYX LSS611 Peony. I am afraid to try out other colors because I am afraid it wont match my morena skin.

But I challenged myself to step out of my comfort zone and try out 3 different colors.

Right: (From top) Stockholm, Antwerp, san Paulo

NYX LIP CREAM: SAN PAULO

Want to go loud? San Paulo is for you!

NYX Lip Cream: San Paulo is a bit
reddish-pink in color

NYX LIP CREAM: ANTWERP

Sweet Barbie?

NYX Lip Cream:
Antwerp is pinkish in color

NYX LIP CREAM: STOCKHOLM

Nude?

NYX Lip Cream: Stockholm
is nude!

NYX Lip Cream has a wand applicator so you just have to swipe the lip cream onto your lips.

Disadvantage (not so):

This Lip Cream is matte so it tends to dry your lips a bit but it wont look chapped. (read: you can use petroleum jelly but it wont have that matte effect) Or you can use NYX Mood Lip Gloss for more tint and gloss.

Advantage:

This Lip Cream can last for hours even if you drink! Perfect for parties and night-outs.
