Trick or Treat

Just came back from a fun-fun-fun holloween party of my sis-in-law's company. Children showcased their spookiest and cutest costumes... There were games for the kids and adults... and lots and lots of goodies for all the kids and kids at heart. 

I made my baby's banda from scratch, using an extra cloth, garter and silver blings. I paired her tutu with a red tights i bought from a tiangge for only Php60. I just adjusted the seams so that it fits her perfectly. I forgot to take her pic without the tutu, but I actually wrapped a black sash around her waist.

Bought these items at a craft store for my bandana and my liitle one

The Tutu Set I ordered from Tiddletots

A Splurge

My hubby and I saw a Polyfoam Play and Grow baby seat sold at Php1,999.75. It was way cheaper than another brand sold at Php3T. It was very similar with the expensive one and is soft to touch. I was undecided to buy it at first because it was unplanned. I also thought it was not really a necessity. But, my hubby was keen on getting one and he was so excited to see our little angel try it. So, I relented... It was so cute to see our baby try the seat.

We also found these affordable shape sorter sold at Php199.75 and a 6-pack squeeshable toys sold at Php129.75.

Lastly, since my 8-month old baby can sit unsupported we thought that we can start on 'toilet training'. So, we bought a 4-in-1 potty trainer from Baby Company for Php299.75.

Beauty Talk

I had a 101 skin care basic training by my ooh lala, pretty and hot mama, Ron yesterday. She shared her beauty ritual using tried and tested skin care products... Hopefully, it will work wonders on me too (crossing my fingers) 'coz unlike her I have big pores plus oily skin. So, I am more prone to cyst like pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, all kinds of bumps or whatever you would like to call it.

Moving on to make-up... I am an avid fan of eye makeup. Lately I experimented on the palette shades of the Urban Decay Eye Shadow Box (from Ully). Since the shades are glittery/shimmery its perfect for an evening out. You can also use the nude shade to make your eyes more striking for a day look. Honestly, I'm a novice and still at the learning stage (I'm turning 31 in two months and yet I am still learning the ropes hehehe).

So far my basic make-up tools for my everyday look are the following:
Ellana Concealer
Bare Escentuals Mineral Veil
Bare Escentuals Foundation
Ellana blush
Maybelline Lipstick
Body SHop Lip Balm
Faceshop Eye liner
Fanny Serrano eyebrow pencil 

That's it. There's so many good quality make-up brands I wish I can try. Some of the items I'm hoping to acquire are the body shop highligther, Stila primer, Nars palette and brushes...
