Majolica Majorca

| Published Sunday, June 3, 2012

I've been interested in Majolica Majorca products since the brand arrived in the Philippines, but I had my reservations becuase they seemed a tad bit overpriced.

As it turns out, Majolica Majorca is a sister company of Shiseido and the latter aims to appeal to a much younger audience. I've read countless good reviews on Shiseido products so I had high expectations for its sister company.

Over the weekend I bought two Majolica Majorca products

{A glittery pink gloss and hot pink nail polish}

This glittery pink gloss looks pigmented but it really isn't. You'll like this if you opt for the nude lips look. I tried this with my Etude House Color me Nude Lip Concealer and the effect was pretty nice.

The glitters are pretty fine so there's no fear of having extremely shiny, glittery lips

Using this Speedy and Glossy nail polish at the moment

Here you can see one coat of the nail polish. It's really pigmented so if you don't want crazy pink nails, one coat will suffice. What I like about this product too is that it dries fast. Hopefully it won't chip off easily!

Pretty strange quote for an outfit post? No particular reason behind it; I just like that quote from Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert

Pore Ever

| Published Friday, May 25, 2012

This Goodbye Pore Ever Primer Stick is one of my most recent purchases from Etude House. I have pretty big, unsightly pores so I wanted to give this a try.

The name of the product is pretty clever, no? :)

I love that Etude House products now have English instructions on the packaging <3

So this is how the primer looks. It's incredibly easy to apply and it has a powdery feel to it.

Does it work? Well, not really. Applied before or after my tinted moisturizer, it barely gave coverage regardless of how much I put on.

Would I buy this product again? Probably not.

Work Space

| Published Thursday, May 24, 2012

I've been considering revamping the work space in my room. Right now, it's just a table with a printer, a laptop, some books and a slew of other stuff that I have to return to their rightful areas in my room. Basically, it's messy.

My ideal work space...

1. Must have ample table surface for all my clutter. I'm pretty cluttered when I study/work. Piles of books, papers, pens, etc. And oftentimes my work stuff invades my bed. So I need a huuuuuge table for my work space.

2. Work space must be well lit and near a window. I think it's self-explanatory for a work space to be well lit or in an area where natural light can flood in. Working in a dark room with poor lighting will just lull me to sleep rather than work.

3. My work space, or at least my desk, must be near a wall where I can hang my bulletin boards. I am a sucker for notes and post-its. I have two bulletin boards in my room that I just stick with important reminders, pictures and other mementos. When creative juices are running low I usually look to my bulletin boards for inspiration

4. Must have a comfy chair. Of course this is also self-explanatory. However, I am not a fan of chairs that are too cushioned or squishy. I have had experiences dozing off in comfy chairs while working.
