NAILS | Sally Hansen 'Hot Magenta'

Oh well, It's NAILS time again, I've never posted nails again since ChinaGlaze but what can I say? I've been using that nail polish for almost 2 months. I really love that color and I got a lot of compliments when I wear that on my nails.

But suddenly last night I got bored with that color and I decided to change the polish on my nails. I never thought I will get bored to that color because I really love that.

Oh well here is my Sally Hansen 'Hot Magenta'


I love this color as much as my China Glaze one. As you can see the name explains the color itself. It has a Hot pink-magenta color with a little bit of purple glitter. I love this because it has some glitters but not the chunky glitters. You know what I mean.

PROS:
-Color pay-off is amazing
-The shade itself is amazing
-It is very easy to apply
-It dries quickly

CONS:
-The brush is a little bit different.
-Price (245.99) for a nail polish?

WILL I RECOMMEND IT?
-YES, besides the price and the brush I think overall this nail polish is amazing. If you have the money and you want something that will last you for quite sometime then I think you should get this.

WHERE YOU CAN BUY:
-I  got mine at SM MegaMall Department Store @ Sally Hansen counter.

What nail polish you currently using? Do you have any nail polish recommendation?
Comment below!

Make-up starter kit | available locally

Oh well, first of all I've been thinking for a new blog ideas when I came across with this blog called Post Ideas For Beauty Blogs if your a beauty blogger please do visit that blog it has such wonderful ideas for us who just started doing beauty blog.

Anyway now I wanted to a Make-up starter kit that you can buy locally here in Philippines I bought mine mostly at SM departments stores. Not everything is affordable but atleast you can find them locally.

For starters I don't wear foundation everyday except for special occasions incase you haven't noticed in my last few post I didn't put any foundation there. Simply because Philippines has a very very humid weather, so wearing liquid foundation is not such a good idea.

As I said you can find this products mostly at SM department store. If you are teens and your really thinking that what can you buy here in philippines that wont make you look like you have a lot of make-up, then you've come to the right place.

Let's start

Skin Care Products

I have been looking for good skin care products that will work on my skin. Since I get into makeup I have been breaking out like crazy. I have been trying a lot of products to stop blemishes to come. I have tried from cheap to high-end.

Luckily for me I have found the one I have been looking for. This has been my routine for 3 months now and I'm very happy with my skin right now. Never had blemish for probably 3 months now. I mean I still get like 1 or 2 every that TIME of the month, but other than that I don't get a lot of acne.

A little tip that I also learned is don't put make-up everyday. Let your skin breath from the chemicals that make-up has. I only put make-up occasionally and if I feel putting make-up I don't always put foundation. If you read my other posts you might know that I only put concealer and powder as my foundation.

Without further ado let's start.

Blog for a cause



Philippines is very known as one of the poorest country in the world. We are also known having a lot of poor peoples in street or everywhere. But we are also known being helpful, we have such a soft heart that we are willing to help our own people.

I saw this blog Draco Princess: Blog for a cause and I was very inspired to write a blog about them. Street children are everywhere, you can see them everywhere you go in Philippines, I tend not to give money to them I give foods to them because food can actually help them to have something to eat but with money I don't even know how they will spend that money.

If you think about it, you have home and family, you have your laptop, your cell phone, you even have aircon and plasma TV on your home, why not give even just a little amount it will be a big help for those children. Little amount of money for us can be huge amount of money for them.

Akay kalinga is a non-government association that provide comfort and shelter to our street children. The street children in the center can come and go as they wish. They can also stay as long as they want and they can go whenever they wish to go.

You can also help our street children by posting a blog please do visit Draco Princess' blog for more information.

ANNA in WORDS

This blogpost is dedicated to my good friend Anna Mariano







Diaper Bags Series | Small Size


Small Size diaper bags is good for everyday, like if you are just roaming around the mall or you will be going to the clinic for check-ups or for immunization.

This one is small so it wont fit a lot of things, but you should know the necessities that you need to bring.

I don't have a small diaper bag so what I did is I use my bag as my son's diaper bag. I know it is not an actual diaper bag but why spend some money if you have something to use? It tends to change once in a while, whatever bag I'm currently using is also the bag that I use as my son's diaper bag. So I don't have a particular photo to show you. Because I use a lot of bag for this part. But a little example is the Louis Vuitton Hampstead bag. You can check it right here.

Just for some information my son is 6 months now, but you dont have to worry if you have a younger infant or if you have older one you can still bring this things and a little adjustment can do. You can either put some more things or remove the things you think you don't need.

Let's start..

Travel make-up essentials

So as you may all know I've been busy and been traveling.

I thought why not do a travel make-up essentials. This is the products I took with me on airplane.

I do wear make-up going to airport but after I board the plane I remove it quickly to let my skin breath, going to kuwait is a 10-hour flight so I'm definitely removing my make-up.

Diaper Bag Series | INTRO

Hello everyone, I will start this Diaper bags series.

I was exchanging text message with KikayMom and she was asking me if i have some ideas about motherhood I told her I don't have any ideas, after some minutes of thinking, the idea came to me. I wanted to put up "how to pack a diaper bags" about going to the mall, but then I thought how about those moms and dads that will go to some other places, or those moms that need to go vacation with their little ones? and then the idea came to me, why not do a diaper bags series.

So I texted KikayMom again and I asked her if she wants to put up this type of topics, and she said it was a nice idea, so I'm inviting you all to post this kind of series on your blog. How you pack your diaper bags?

There is no right and wrong when it comes to packing a diaper bags, Its a mother's instincts. You are the one who knows what's best for your little one's but I am known for packing excessively I was "in-case-of-emergency" kind of person. So this might be excessive for some of you.

I have a lot of diaper bags for my son depending on where we're going and how long the travel is gonna be like.

This is the list of the Diaper bags:

1. Everyday small diaper bag

2. 2-3 hours land travel

3. overnight stay

4. 1 week vacation land travel

5. carry-on diaper bags for airplane travel 8-12 hours flight

How about you Mom's out there, how you pack diaper bags for your little ones? leave a comment below!


xoxo,
Milna

Youtube Beauty Gurus

I started watching youtube beauty community for 1 year now. Pixiwoo sisters has been the first beauty gurus I've watched, They really influenced me when it comes to make-up and how to apply those to my face, they had a variety of videos from natural, everyday make-up to smokey make-up to really crazy looking make-up, I've been followers of them, I watched every single videos the uploaded, until I came across to Elle or allthatglitters21's channel, I've been obsessed with Elle and also her vlog channel I always watch her Glitterature: Book reviews, I loved every book she recommended. And then Blair, I also like her but not so much I just watched her whenever Elle didn't upload new videos. An then so on and so forth. I love Say Tioco she's Filipina youtuber, Nikkiphilippi is amazing too.

Up until now I still watch these girls, i still love them, and I still subscribed to them.

July and August updates

2 months of being Missing in Action..








all about NAILS

Nail Polish has been part of my life, I can't look at my nails if it is naked, I just can't stand the naked nails, so I always make time to go to nail salon atleast once every 2weeks, but in between those I always paint my nails.

Right now I've been loving ChinaGlaze Hang-ten toes, I featured this nail polish in my august favorites post,



I've been wearing this nail polish none stop for the whole month of August. This has been my new favorite shade of nail polish, I got alot of compliment when I wear this on my nails.

what's your favorite nail polish?

August Favorites

Sorry for being MIA for about 3 months now, I can't find my time to post.

So because August is gone maybe I should do some favorites for august. I don't wear much makeup this month because of the weather in Philippines, as you may all know this country has a very humid and sticky weather and at the end of the day I find my makeup meltdown or smudge.
