My gifts to myself

Finally got my Rescue Your Nails copy! Actually way back around the first week of December, just didn't have enough time to post about it here. hehehe...I bring this to work everyday so I can read it whenever I have free time.My co-workers saw it and they all have the same line, "a book about nails.so lame.kaartehan lang!" something like that. hahaha...well,they wouldn't understand I guess. I just ignore them. I'm learning alot from this book and I don't regret buying it.I even covered it with plastic wrapping to protect it.LOL. I had to literally call one National Bookstore branch to another just to check if they still have this. And finally, NBS' Best Seller at Robinson Galleria still have one copy left....the last one.Meant to be.LOL.

(I'm wearing Wet N' Wild Eggplant Frost in this picture)

The sticker says it all






I loved Wet N' Wild Blue Sapphire so I gave the brand another chance with a different color called Eggplant Frost. Its medium purple with a hint of blue in it. I loved it on my finger nails but unfortunately it doesn't have a staying power at all. I applied it for a Christmas party and then the following day, it already chipped. I didn't even do any chores at all the night before. sigh. too bad.

Sorry for the crappy picture, I had to post it 'coz this is how it really looked like in real life

pre-clean up. kinda looks like ORLY Velvet Rope with the glitters right?

And here's Skinfood's Strawl Hot that I wore last week. I love the shade of pink and how it attracts attention. A teammate of mine even said that its a "malanding pink".hahaha...I wore it for 7 days, I think...and no chipping! So pretty, right?

Since I'm into reading these days, I also got hooked on bookmarks. I bought these in Landmark for less than P30  for 4pcs.

I also saw these really cute stickers all about love. What really caught my attention was this one:

Etude House Haul

Went back to EH and naturally I bought nail polish bottles again hehehe... Then I saw this travel pouch and I fell in love with it once I opened it. The lining was thick enough to protect whatever inside and its PINK! need I say more? 

Here's what it looks like inside. It has pockets and compartments to secure your stuff.

Since my purchase is more than P500, I got this cute pen as a freebie. I was hoping it was a 2011 planner with Lee Min Ho's pictures but fate isn't that supportive. But I like the pen just the same. It compatible with my new  planner.

It has a cute caption, too. If you can't see it that much, it says " Catch Me If You Can.....Ms. Hot"

WH709 was one of the colors I've bought before and its only last week that I got to wear it. Its a deep gray but I'm not sure the code says "WH". Does it stand for white? Because they usually give the bottle a code based on its color family like GR605

And here's the EH store in Southmall, this is actually a sneak snapshot because the Store personnels wouldn't allow me to take pictures hehehe....They have a promo now that if your purchase is worth P1000 or more, you'll get a lip and cheek tint. I really wish they'll give away a planner with Lee Min Ho's pictures. :D

Another talented online sensation

Found this vid on Yahoo! News. I'm impressed. So entertaining!

Steaks Unlimited

I was skeptic about this place before, it didn't look promising and I thought that their picture menu is just another Filipino entrepreneur's false marketing of their prods. You know what I mean,right? Like in the menu/ad the burger looks so big and tons of veggies in it BUT when its finally in front of you its suddenly the miniature version. The lettuce is a day old and the tomatoes are thinly sliced, the burger patty no where to be found.Aaargh...I hate it when that happens! Anyway, I gave this place a try and I'm glad that I did. Their T-bone steak is delish. All their food are P98 only, except for one. Even the desserts are really affordable. The downside is the space, its cramped.


WARNING! THESE PICTURES MAKE ME HUNGRY

I love that my T-bone swims in gravy...tasty gravy

Look at that menu, only 2 dishes are more than P98.

Not bad for an P88 dessert,right? Banana split is one of my all-time fave desserts!






These makes it my new fave spot to eat, a meal that fills me up but really tasty and also doesn't put a hole in my wallet. Another downside is that the banana split can't be prepared for take-out and their drinks only come in one size. A regular sized-glass.pbfft!

Colorful treasures

Etude House  opened a store in SM Southmall Las Pinas and i love it! The store is so girly and their prods are  affordable. I got so excited when I saw their store, unfortunately I didn't bring my camera then. But I did buy 3 of their nail polishes. On my second trip there, I bought another 6. hahaha...Enough blabbering and take a look at these babies.

GR605 (im currently wearing) and PP902

I bough a second bottle of  PP902 on my second visit to EH, I just love the pueple-ness of it

GR605 it looks different though in real life, I really need a camera with better lens

now this shot is a bit closer to reality. alot of my co-workers complimented this color.

PP902 it looks black in this shot but take a look at the picture below, that's the real color. i put glitters on my middle fingernail. it kinda looked like Velvet rope of Orly.

i really really love its purple-ness!

Bobbie LUSH

I really love green nail polish, its cool to the eyes and there's soooo many shades to choose from. And from my last post until now I've been around the shops looking for pretty nail polishes. I was lucky that I've found a number of colorful treasures, mostly from Etude House. My first post though would be about a local fab find. here you go! :)

It really is a lush color ain't it? :) I'll look for more pretty colors from Bobbie soon. Hope they'll create more colors like this, its always red or tan/beige that they focus on. I hope they give us more fun and unique colors.

Ryan Reynolds is so hot! The trailer looks promising. I hope it won't be a big disappointment like The Last Airbender. YouTube - The Green Lantern | OFFICIAL trailer #1 US (2011)
