When my cuz came home from abroad she bring her D300 and some make up home.. with our beautiful niece as our model, have our improvise studio, lighting, background and props- it's a photo session!

Disclaimer: I'm not a professional make up artist nor study on this field. I just love colors and paintings people's faces like art.^^





These photos are just some from the hundreds we took... It was a nice experience, we had lots of fun! I wish I could post the behind the scene photos, it's a chaos! I'm looking forward for my next make up and photography session with my cousins.. thanks cuz! see you there!

What do you think???

Summer wouldn't be complete without an outing, beach, pool or picnic..this holiday I spent time with beau and his family at a resort in Rizal..yes all the way there.. and because it's summer, the weather is hot and we need protection~~~sunblock! so here's what we use..




Thumbs up for:
NuDerm
- Most of the sunblock are sticky and tends to make my face oily but these sunblock are good, i can use NuDerm for everyday.. I also like to try their other skin products, Before I've tried samples of their clarifying lotion and toner..
- Cost 300 pesos for 100 ml..
Downside:
- only available at Dermclinic branches since there's no branch here I have to buy it in Manila

Banana boat and aloe vera are from US so I can't rate the price.. sunblock is also not too sticky and the aloe vera is very soothing, i use it on my insect bites..

Summer also means eating my favorite food! (and junk food)

I've purchased it at Faces in Harbour City Mall, Hong Kong. After trying it... awww i fell in love..hahaha

- has gold shimmer
- You really need to use a good brush as it tends to powder easily
- Peachy pink color
- rubbery texture of cover

I like the color.. we came back at the mall to purchase it, I even ask the saleslady to try it on me (even if I already tried it the other day) just to make sure if it really looks good on me. To be honest it's one of the most expensive purchases I had.. uber splurge. I did think not twice but countless times before buying it. Besides it will last me xx months maybe year until it runs out..




To summarize our mis"adventures":
-we're always lost providing we have all the maps and guides
-i think i lost some pounds when we're here, I only ate rice once for 4 days and 3 nights, most of the time we eat noodles and bread, once we had pasta and chicken at Spaghetti house the rest are noodles and bread at Taipan (miss Taipan good thing we have breadtalk here)





-My cousin and I took a lot, LOTS of pictures, this is where we spent most of our time taking pictures, she had her D300 at hand and a fujifilm on me
-We enjoy riding the double decker bus and the MTR, haha now we know where are the bus stop..it's really confusing if you're used to "keep right" rather than "keep left"
-we're mistaken as locals/chinese there by guess who? A Filipino too!
-we only slept 4-5 hours everynight and always tired of endless walks and lost of directions
-My cousin slips twice because of her boots that's why I hold her like an old lady when on escalator and pedxing. The pedxing sound scares me.
- After spending hours and hours of research over the net, we got the cheapest hostel yet clean and safe. Tnx Fan Family - Dragon Hostel. we'll surely recommend your place. It's worth it!

This is just one part of out Misadventure in Hong Kong post the next part soon..
till next post!

ciao!
