MORE BACKSTAGE RUMMAGE SALE HAULS+GIFT FROM JAPAN

My hauls for the week! :)
A very nice Zara top/dress that's great for casual to semi- formal wear. Got it for 30php only. :)

I spotted this perfume in the rummage sale and grabbed it for mom. It was brand new and sealed. And I got it for 300php only! :)

My ninang came to the Philippines last week. She secretly followed her husband who had to go to the Philippines for a business trip. She has been missing my ninong badly so she suprised him with a visit. And they went back to Japan together (where they are residing) two days ago. Ah, such a cute couple. And she got me these goodies from Japan! A Shu Uemura Mark Cealer (Finally! I will be able to try this gem of a concealer!), and Dr. Ci- Labo, a high- end Japanese skincare brand.


I OWE YOU GUYS A LOT OF REVIEWS SO PLEASE STAY TUNED! :)

New release: Summer Skybox and Dandelion, Dandelion at [MAGIC NOOK]

Please welcome a new release at the store: Summer Skybox! Pastel colours, a large window and a lot of sun - this skybox is inspired by summer!

[MAGIC NOOK] Summer Skybox

The skybox is sized about 10m x 10m x 5m and it should fit even small plots of land. It is packaged in a rezzer for easy set up. Skybox window is controlled through a scripted menu, which allows you to change inner and outer window opacity. And it's got sunlight beams too!

There is a teleport to DEMO at the store, right next to the vendor, so come and take a look!

I also released a dandelion wall decal, for just 25L$, if you're looking for one, or ever wanted to buy the one I placed at the store some time ago ;)

My shabby chic apartment

I have this thing with interiors in SL, that whenever I start decorating, I end up with shabby chic style. I love it all - white wood, soft floral fabrics, vintage accessories... Plus, I adore all things country when it comes to home decor. No wonder this theme often sneaks in :)

I recently switched to a smaller and more cosy skybox, which I built myself, and which by the way I am going to release in my store very very very soon (update: it's released now!). And you can definitely notice shabby-chic-country-love influence in my decor. But I really like it - it's so mine and so comfy! In fact, I like it so much, that I'm going to submit it to 'Tiny, cozy space' contest organized by SL House & Garden Group.

Enjoy the pictures, and if you happen to like the items I used, you will find credits below.

MY FAVE CONCEALERS

Here's a long overdue request post by one of my readers, Tala.

But as the ol' saying goes: 'tis better late than never! :)

I have tried a dozen concealers in the course of my addiction but these are the five concealer brands that will always come in mind whenever I think of a great concealer.

Without further adieu, let me tell you why I am in love with these concealers :)

KRYOLAN SUPRACOLOR FOUNDATION IN FAIR OLIVE

I love how it neutralizes my dark spots and dark circles. I also love the fact that it's a great base make- up before foundation because it gives the skin a nice glow from underneath. The yellow/cream color makes this a one-of-a-kind shade. It is a great neutralizer that doesn't look too yellow, and a great concealer that doesn't look too white. It also dries to a semi- matte finish. Definitely my best bet for professional use.
MAC STUDIO FINISH CONCEALER W/ SPF35

Concealers with SPF are quite rare. And this makes Studio Finish a winner. It protects the thin skin on our under eyes from the damaging rays of the sun. This is long lasting, durable, and it will last you longer than you can imagine.

MAC CHROMAGRAPHIC PENCIL

The best concealer innovation ever made. It's convenient for hard to reach areas on the face. Plus, it lasts long, and it can also double as an eye brightener!

MAKE UP FOR EVER LIFT CONCEALER

It's water- resistant, which makes it perfect for humid countries and conditions. Consistency is liquid, so it settles and spreads easily. The shades adjust to your tone. And it helps brighten the under eyes, giving your eyes a "lift".

MAC STUDIO SCULPT CONCEALER

Consistency is mousse, which makes it easy to apply. It also gives a natural coverage. Studio Sculpt does not conceal. It helps your dark circles adjust to your normal skin tone, making your overall make- up look more natural.

Beautiful Beautiful Space

For the first time in my life,
I am looking for lots of space.
Space in my home...

I cannot get enough of it....

It feels SO GOOD good to get something out
of my house as it used to feel bringing
something home and placing it somewhere
special~
Space is like breathing fresh air.

Love love love you all
&
have a week full of
beautiful beautiful
space!
