YSL Rouge Volupté in 26 Tender Peach + 8 Interesting Questions Tag

Patience is a virtue indeed. At last (after a while), another YSL Rouge Volupté for my collection! Some of you already know that YSL has been pulled out of Rustan's (our local department store) indefinitely. That is why I got so excited when I saw YSL cosmetics at Duty Free when I was going home from Singapore. Although products and colors/shades are very limited, I'm still happy as a clam because I got RV#26 Tender Peach which I have been lemming for so long. :)

The Face Shop NOTD + Over The Top and Sisterhood Awards

When it comes to cheap yet decent quality nail polish, The Face Shop is my go to store for experimenting with colors, loud and bright or muted and sheer, they have it. Most of the time its a hit or miss for me with texture and brush quality, but I usually don't regret because its only Php95-175 (approx. $2-4) I also happen to love their base coat which prevents yellow nails, top coat to protect the polish and nail polish remover which smells so good and is non-drying. 

I was out at the mall the other day doing errands and passed by a TFS store so I checked if they had new nail polish available, to make the story short, I got BR805. I do realize I've been into browns lately.

here's my NOTD with BR805, taken indoors with fluorescent lighting.

It's a light brown shade which I think is very flattering for my skin tone, it's also very simple so I don't have to worry about what accessories to use unlike when I sport bolder, louder colors. As it's quite sheer, i needed 3 coats to get  an opaque color on my nails in the photo. I didn't mind though, 'cause it's very easy to apply, very smooth and glossy, almost foolproof, which is another plus cause I don't always get to have my nails done by a pro and I don't have surgeon-like steady hands. hehe.

For my nail expert beauty blogging friends, how do you prevent bubbles on nails? Does this occur when drying? Because I applied it perfectly but when it dried up, the polish on my left thumb had *sing with me* tiny bubbles. hehe. 

Your comments and suggestions will be very much welcome. TIA! :)

Blog Awards: When It Rains, It Pours!

   Hello sweets! Look what I got from the kind and lovely miss k. you! 3 blogger awards! 

Thank you k, for appreciating coffretgorge and taking the time to tag me in your post. I'll remember you forever for being the first one to acknowledge my blogging efforts by giving me 3 awards. *happy tears* hahaha! ^.^

 

              

I would like to accept these awards by being diligent and following the rules, instructions are to share another 5 things about me. So if you're not sick of me yet, please read on! :)

1. Honestly, I did not think that blogging would be this fun and fulfilling! I have made a lot of cool blogger buddies considering that coffretgorge is just half a year old. Yes, that's you! ^_~

2. I know you know I love Bowie, an applehead chihuahua I share with Lurvey, but you might not know that I am addicted to shopping for Bowie's clothes and accessories now! Rakuten has become a favorite because thats the only place I know where I can get super kawaii stuff for the pets.

3. I think I need to go have my eyes checked. Seriously, I feel my eyes are so tired everyday trying to read all of the blogs I follow! But I'm not complaining, I'm just saying! ;) I've been having random migraines too, plus I think I would like to rock a pair of specs for that grandma/geek chic look. LOL :P

4. I can easily forgive and forget most of the time, but there are some random things (not necessarily bigger or more hurtful) which stick to my memory and when it happens, I find myself having a hard time getting over it.

5. I love being around babies and kids! I find them so adorable and I like taking care of them. I love taking my 3 year old niece and kid cousin out to go swimming or wander around the mall, parks or just play inside the house. Usually I like to tickle them 'til they scream for mercy (muahahaha), hearing them laugh makes me so happy. :)

There you go, more random facts about moi! I would like to pass these awards to:

Nic Nic of Bang Bang She Shoots

Denysia of Hellodenysia

10 Honest Things About Me + A Relapse Haul

I got tagged by the sweet ehlee of superwoolu.blogspot.com to do a "10 honest things about me" post, its my first time being tagged so I'll be obedient and do ittttt! :)

[insert any photo]

Lurvey, G & Bowie ^_^

This is a very recent photo. Yes, I had my hair cut, 6 inches were chopped off by the stylist. I had it cut because it's summertime and its so hot! Oh and just in case you might want an update for the Prettia Bubble Hair Color. ;)

1. I like being alone, especially when shopping, i don't like the feeling when someone is so bored waiting for me. hahaha!

2. I like musicals, The Phantom of the Opera is my favorite. I was so moved to tears when I watched it in NY.

3. I don’t like driving at night, bright lights give me a headache.

4. I love going to the supermarket; I find it therapeutic.

5. i CAN'T pack light, even if i try, i still end up bringing the whole house - I think I got that trait from my mom.

6. If I could, I would wear high heels 24/7. But I love flats too! Those Miu Miu flats in my last post are really haunting me I tell you.

7. I am fascinated by Korean fashion, their style looks so sweet and feminine, eternally cute yet current at the same time.

8. I am an old soul when it comes to music…I listen to marvin gaye, louis armstrong, dean martin and the likes…

9. i use 4 different pairs of shampoo and conditioner alternately - to prevent product build up which causes itching and dandruff. eew.

10. I would love to learn mandarin - so i can easily converse with locals whenever I go to HK. :)

As promised, here are my Rilakkuma plushies Ehlee! :)

We're plushie sisters now. ;)
