Instagram Photos: Inside the Dressing Room & A Whole Lot of Shopping

Today is March 29, 2012. A day to go before I leave for Cebu. I still haven’t purchased enough clothes for the trip so I had to make a dash to the mall and find them. My whole basic plan for my wardrobe during this trip is easy & fuss-free: maxi-dresses and jumpsuits! That way, my luggage would be lighter (although I won’t bet on it) sans heavy jeans and stuff like that. When Mama and I went to Greenhills, I was able to purchase a blue maxi (which I haven’t shown anyone yet since I didn’t vlog not IG-ed it) but that was it. I needed more for my 5-day stay in another city away from home!

I got to the mall at noontime. The only brand I went to is Coco Cabana. (I sounded like a sirang plaka saying the brand over and over again in my vlog) Anyway, I was only allowed to try on 3 dresses per fitting session, so I was in and out the dressing room for like 8 times! I counted! I was there, trying on clothes for 3 full hours! I’m not even kidding. Well, let’s see what consumed my time: taking photos of each dresses & VLOGGING!

Let me show you the dresses I tried on (and which of them I got):

First is this mint green dress (I don’t really know what it’s called)—it caught my eye and I felt some kind of connection! I don’t usually wear this color, but oh mama, I fell in love. Look how flowy! I totally bought it! (PHP 799.75)

Now THIS baby was mine the moment I laid eyes on it. Something about it just attracted me soooooo much! It must be the print! It’s a jumpsuit, by the way. Kind of loose on the midsection, but wearing a belt would help. Totally bought it! (PHP 799.75

This maxi looked really gorgeous. Very matron-ly (as one of my Twitter followers told me) I love how bizarre the pattern is on this dress. The embellished V-neck area was really sexy. Again, I never wore these kinds so it was pretty new to me! I loved it, but I didn’t buy it.

This maxi is pretty regular. It was long. And pink. And surprisingly, I didn’t like it that much. It’s perfect for the beach, though! I didn’t buy it.

Onto swimsuits. This swimsuit is specially designed to give your midsection a curvier look—which I really loved! It’s from the same brand. I didn’t buy this one because…

…I fell in love with this one! It has an asymmetrical design and hugs all the curves in the right places as well! I bought this one. (PHP 899.75)

The other jumpsuits were blech. Made me look fat! So I passed!

I actually left Coco Cabana since I had a hard time choosing which to buy! I went to Burger King to use their fast Wi-fi to post photos via IG and ask people’s opinion. After that, I went to Lay Bare to get some waxing done. After that was I only able to go back to Coco Cabana and pick out my paboritos.

Oh yeah, this is how I looked like before all the fitting!

I forgot to included this in the vlog/IG, I bought this beautiful red long-sleeved top from Weekender. It feels sooooo soft on the skin!!! It’s red, and loose-fitting! Definitely got it. (PHP 699.75)

I spent a lot of money on these clothes. So I am officially grounding myself from shopping for 2 months (in preparation for my 21st birthday as well! I’ve got something grand in mind!)

Before I end this, let me share what I had for a late night drink—PINK LEMONADE! Oh yeah.

And here’s a really short vlog about all my shopping:

Instagram Photos: Whey Protein & Bikini Shopping

Went bikini shopping last Sunday for Cebu! I bought this bikini from Coco Cabana—it fits me perfectly! And I know how blue it appears on the photo, but in real life it’s purple! (I’m always wondering why this happens…looks like I should Google right about now)

…

So based on this site, purple is at the very end of the spectrum of visible light. So the phone camera’s sensor is not sensitive towards it (whatever that means)

Anyhow, if you’ve known me my whole life (especially when I was 170 pounds) you’d know that I would never have the guts to wear a 2 piece bikini. But thanks to BodyRock.tv (for almost 2-3 years now) I am more comfortable with my figure. **and please don’t give me all this conservativeness crap—I’m 20 years old, and I have the freedom to blog about this** I won’t even go in depth about all this conservative issue. If only people could be more open-minded.

By the way, the bikini costs PHP 699.75

Picked up another pack of GNC’s Whey Protein. The be-Buff will pretty much be out of stock for the next weeks so I gave this one a try. Why I use this? For muscle toning. If you are a workout junkie, whey protein is your best friend. Expensive at PHP 1,199.00 (1 pound) but it’s worth it.

Ideal breakfast, sunny side up with 2 pieces of toasts

A healthier breakfast: banana-mango smoothie with whey! *I’ll be putting up a video on this very soon!* P.S. I got my Blender Bottle from GNC Live Well as well for about PHP 500++ (it’s a cool bottle) Look it up on Google. Blender Bottle.

Bought this for Paulo. I’ll be flying to Cebu this Saturday and I know this’ll make him happy. He loves this stuff. Pink Lemonade, baby. Oh yeah. PHP 199.75 at supermarkets.

Arrived this morning! Thank you PinkBox Accessories. This is something to watch out for!

The man in between my legs. I love how Jacky Wacky Backy lays down on my leg to sleep. Such a sweetiepie.

Instagram Photos: Meeting a Celebrity, Buffet & More Makeup

One of the looks I filmed last week—this is the Sunkissed, Glowing Makeup Look. Would you believe me when I say I didn’t get any sleep the night before I filmed this? I was pretty much drained by 11:00AM. Never ever skip sleep (unless needed)!

You can watch the tutorial on this look here:

Denise Martinez, one of my awesome subbies from YouTube sent me this baby! It’s the newest Call Me Bubbles palette from MAC!!! I literally squealed when I saw this. Can’t wait to use it!!!

Denise also gave me this MAC lipstick in Russian Red. Another thing that made me SQUEAL!!! Denise, if by chance you are reading this, I am sooooooo grateful. Thank you so much.

Find out the other goodies Denise sent me in this vlog:

I met Angel Locsin during the Mosbeau event that I was invited to (thanks to Bestie) She looked soooooooo damn gorgeous. Not to mention, down-to-earth! And would you look at her dress?! So beautiful. Such a perfect endorser for Mosbeau (“most beautiful”)

We were given this lanyard with a blogger ID name, and guess what? It’s also an 8GB USB storage! If you see the white strap area, that’s where the USB is contained! Pretty cool huh? Such a blessing as well, since I lost my 4GB USB a few months ago. Now I have a replacement! God is good. Thank you Mosbeau!

Another awesome subbie of mine from YouTube named Menchie sent me all this goodies all the way from Dubai!!! It’s a boxful of Ever Sheen cosmetics. (Thank you so much Menchie!!!) Ever Sheen is a UK brand and I am absolutely excited to try them out. I’ve actually already tried one lip color and I freaking loveeee it!

A Springtime Makeup look I came up with a few days ago! I am never afraid to wear bright lip colors—I believe it is something that makes you really stand out. I also came up with the hair style which unfortunately came undone after about 5 hours! I should’ve put in more bobby pins! Nevertheless, I am going to do an in-depth hair tutorial on it as per request of my viewers.

My little sister graduated recently and we celebrated by having dinner at Dads (Saisaki) I almost never eat at Eat All You Can buffets because my tummy can’t take it. Nevertheless, it was a good dinner. Nothing too wow, in my opinion. I would’ve chosen Tempura over this.

I didn’t realize how gross this photo looks like with the toilet in the background. LOL Anyhoo, what I really wanted to share is my super comfy outfit! I love wearing polo’s!

My family :)

I’ve been receiving feedback on how similar my makeup tutorials have been looking like. I actually find myself playing safe most of the time. So then I filmed this tutorial and moves outside my comfort zone. I used fun, bright colors from this Miners Cosmetics Butterfly Babe palette that Sarah of Make Up Hub by NC gave me. True enough, people responded positively! It just goes to show that you do not have to be afraid to do things that are out of the ordinary. It may actually give you more recognition.

*P.S. I named it a Summer look, but if you think about it, it’s also perfect for Spring!

Thank you for making me #1—this is for all those who have been there (and still is here) for me.

What I wore during the first day of the Super Sale Bazaar (Make Up Hub by NC Booth) This brush belt that my best friend from Florida sent me has been soooo helpful in all my gigs. Thank you so much Jo!!! Love you! If you haven’t watched my vlog about Day 1 of the Bazaar, you can watch it here (all your Q’s about my outfit will be answered in the video):

Second day of the Super Sale Bazaar: black ensemble with gold accents. Watch my vlog on Day 2 of the bazaar here:

Ate this humongous pizza from Sbarro on Day 2 of the bazaar and man, it was too much. I could barely finish it that time!

Found a really sexy pair of red pumps from Day 3 of the bazaar! It was meant to be mine! It was the last pair of red pumps from Poppy & Co. Glad I found it!

Also bought myself a gorgeous plum bag from Bagelya by Ela! I definitely splurged, but I totally deserve it.

Here is the vlog from Day 3 of the bazaar:
