Unboxing: Philips CitiScape Shibuya Headphone

I won't spend 2500HKD for a headphone. Beats is overpriced. And I don't want to buy a fake one just to be 'Cool' like I did back college LOL. So instead I looked for an alternative that would fit my budget and still have style. I don't know anything about headphones. Anyway, here's what I bought for 349HKD.

Celeste and Jesse Forever Movie August 2012

I was watching E-news, waiting for 24 oras when I saw this movie. I didn't check it out at first but a friend of mine told me to watch the trailer. It's 'Like Crazy' all over again.

Review: MAC Prep + Prime Face Protect SPF 50

What: MAC Prep + Prime Face Protect SPF 50

Price: 290HKD ~ Php 1624

I wasn't really the makeup type cause I commuted from home to school back in college. But when I started working 9 months ago, I had to put on at least a little. I started with eyeliners - foundations - lipsticks. I needed to have the essentials first right? Anyway, one day I decided to drop by MAC's store in SOGO Causeway Bay to buy a Primer. 

The product is quite thick. It felt like applying body cream, except you apply it to the face. I'm not really sure if that's  how primers should be since this is my first time using one. The good thing about this primer is it spreads easily. Yes, thick but easily. The color of the product is white and gives a matte feel but after spreading it evenly, the color fades. After the primer, I then proceed with my MAC Studio Fix Foundation. 

Does it work? For the SPF, I sure do hope it does. There's really no way of testing it under the sun. I can't risk it. LOL But it really keeps my makeup together. I put on this primer everyday and since most of the time I'm rushing to get to work, I sweat and all. When I arrive at the office, I check my face in the mirror and voila! makeup is still there. Although they say that primers are for hiding the pores, I'm not really sure if this fits that cause my pores are totally huge and I can still see it.

Value for money. Personally, I do not find it expensive. Yes, it may be compared to other products but remember, beauty comes with a price. Chos.

My Taste in Men

There's always one question that pops out in a casual conversation. Most of the time, men are the ones asking me this. What's the question? "Ano bang gusto mo sa isang lalaki?" ("What kind of men do you like?")

Of course, my usual answer is: "Mabait siyempre" ("Someone kind of course") and "mabango" ("Someone who smells good"). Yet I am allergic to perfume.  But actually none of these fits what I really want. Yes, I know a man must be good, but that shouldn't be mentioned anymore since it's a universal fact that men should always be good. What do I want then?

When I see couples walking around me, which happens most of the time, I kind of wonder how the guy she's holding hands with have proven his love to her? Has he given her gifts? Has he taken her to Prague? Has he introduced her to his family? And sometimes, I thought, I wanna go to Praguetoo. I want to receive gifts. I know I'm not into flowers but yes, I want to at least experience how it feels like. Then maybe I'll get to like it.  I want to be introduced and know that This Guy is not ashamed to be with me. He is not ashamed to tell His parents that "Yes, mom I  have a girlfriend and she's awesome".

I probably want someone who will make me feel secured. Someone I know who'll be there whenever a storm comes. Someone who'll come to me, dripping wet just to even ask me if I'm okay or bring me take-out from Mcdonald's. Then maybe I'll just hug him and kiss him.

When you come to think of it, it doesn't really matter is he's handsome or not. I mean seriously, what am I gonna do with all that beauty in his face? And thinking about having a super hot/handsome boyfriend is already driving me insane. With all the girls looking at him while we eat, walk and talk. Come on, it's causing me a headache already. Just imagine when we're at the beach.

Long story short, I just want a normal guy, with no extraordinary powers but to make me feel special. I'm sure that's what every girl wants right?

Fashion Purchase 001

Starting today, I am gonna post as much as I can. For my first fashion post, I am going to share what I bought during the sale.

If you are close to me, you'll know that I am very thrifty. I don't really buy what's not necessary. And if I do, it's probably on SALE. I don't really care about the brand as long as it's comfy. Same goes for bags and shoes.

So here's what I bought:

Animal Printed Top at H&M for: 70HKD ~ 377.2510 PHP
which I wore to the epic party last June 30, 2012.  

Open Toe Flats at H&M for: 50HKD ~ 269.4650 PHP 
These are really comfy! I always go for flats. Always. 

Simple Black Top at H&M for: 50HKD ~ 269.4650 PHP
Very simple and plain. I'm not a fan of printed shirts. I always buy the basic stuff.
