NOW VLOGGING!

Finally gave in and jumped to the bandwagon of Vlogging!

I actually began joining this trend, June, last year. I had the chance to grab a Vlogging camera for myself, so I said, why not? Everyone in the beauty community is doing it, so why not give it a try? Hence, I made my first ever Vlog!

It was definitely awkward at first! Where I live, in the Philippines, not to mention, in Davao City, Vlogging is not a thing. Nobody knows about it unless he/she is a Youtube Junkie like myself. Therefore, when people see you take a video of yourself in public, probably the first thing that comes into their minds is that "That person is crazy." Funny, but TRUE! I felt so embarrassed whenever someone would see me vlogging and stare at me as if I'm a crazy person (Ha! Ha!) But in the long run, I actually got the hang of it, and I find myself vlogging most of the time when there aren't a lot of people. A few judgmental strangers won't hurt.

Eventually, I REALLY enjoyed vlogging! It's really a fun thing being able to capture moments in your life and being able to watch it months or even years after you filmed it. It's just gives me the priceless nostalgic feels... and I really love watching previous vlogs!

So this just goes to show that I am definitely going to continue this journey no matter how many people will judge me, in the end, I don't live to please them anyway, am I right? Definitely!

So here a 2013 Flashback of all of my vlogs since Day 1.

Enjoy the marathon of my daily life!  

Crazy amount of videos to watch!

Thank you so much for the continuous support. I REALLY really appreciate it.

Flashback 2013!

Hey guys! I'm finally back and my blog is finally running! My sincere and deepest apologies for the long hiatus! I have been focusing a lot on my YouTube Channel for the past months, and I have also been busy with being a Nurse at the hospital, at the same time, doing Makeup Gigs here and there when time permits.

Nevertheless, this post is going to be a Flashback of all of the Beauty Videos I made for the later parts of 2013 that I haven't shared to you guys just yet!

Whew! That was definitely a bunch of videos! 2013 flew by really fast! Now I'm definitely looking forward to being more active at blogging this 2014. Watch out for more blog posts soon!

Don't forget to watch all these videos! If your bored, you must definitely visit this blog post and enjoy a Video Marathon of my ramblings (wink).

Thank you so much for the continuous support! I smell a giveaway coming right up and how about a Meet N' Greet for Davao Subbies? Hmmm... Will definitely keep you posted!

Brow Tutorial: Using Matte Eyeshadow

Don't have an eyebrow powder to create a natural brow look? Go ahead and scavenge into your makeup collection (or your mom's!) and find a matte brown eye shadow that suits your brows best!

Products Used:

e.l.f. Beauty On-The-Go Palette

e.l.f. Angled Brush

Marionnaud N38 Brush

My favorite part of makeup application is outlining and filling in the brows. The brows always create the greatest definition to a look. It gives the greatest makeover to the face, hence, a lot of beauty bloggers say that the brows are the ones you should never skip, even if you only have seconds to run and you're in a hurry.

All you need is a Matte Brown Eyeshadow that suits your brows and hair color, and an angled brush, and you're good to go!

This is a very quick and easy brow tutorial that would give beauty and definition to your look.

Haul: Skincare, Makeup, Hygiene Essentials

Another haul video for you guys! This is by far my Third haul video on YouTube. Aside from the fact that haul videos are surprisingly the ones with most views in my channel, it has been difficult for me for the past few days to beat the impulse and spending since I have been strolling in the malls most of the time, yes, I'm such a wanderer.

Nevertheless, most of the products I got were needs than wants which I think is very reasonable (I just had to say that).

Skin care has been one of the things that I have been busy researching on the past few days. Watching skin care videos, reading blogs and learning about the right and wrong ingredients in a product. I decided to finally go organic. I realized that I have been using a lot of skin care products in the market, looking for the perfect product that would cure my problem areas, but then again, I am missing out on caring on my skin. I realized I've applied tons of chemicals on my skin, and it is the right time to make it rest by using organic products which are almost a 100% Natural.

I have already started purchasing some organic products, and I have featured those in this haul video. Still, I have yet to purchase more natural products such as natural oils, but I have yet to rest my credit card for it has been overused for the past week (not to mention my huge Forever 21 Haul) for I have not been thrifty for the past few days.

I would definitely be purchasing more soon and I'm currently eyeing on Argan Oil & Rosehip Oil which are said to be really good on the skin for so many purposes and results to follow.
