British sensation Adele has been on constant repeat on my Ipod all through out this summer.  I catch myself thinking in British accent, that is how much damage her music has done to me.  I sing her songs all the time.  I belch out in the shower, while idling in my room and when Im in the car too!  

But its not just her soulful music that had me transfixed, I applaud her utter disrespect for the entertainment industry's concept and projection beauty.  She is her own authentic self and I truly admire her for that.  The way she communicates her soul through her music needs no more than her beautiful voice and perhaps a piano or guitar.  I swear you will just want to stop in your shoes and absorb it all.  I know I did.

Her signature makeup style is pretty much a piece of cake.  Youtube have so many tutorial videos but you really just need to pay attention on her pictures to get the idea.  Here are the things to remember when channeling Adele's minimalistic makeup.

• Hair style:  Parted deep on the side and style it with a pony tail on easy days or twist it to a bun slightly below one ear.  
• Eyes:  Brown/bronze smokey eye with a heavy wing tipped black eyeliner.  False eyelashes would be nice for the added drama.
• Lips:  Stick to neutral pinks, those that are very near the color of your natural lips and then some lipgloss too.
• Face:  Matte foundation with full coverage and a blush for contouring.

The trick is to just really focus on the eyes and go neutral on the lips.  Wear your fave LBD and youre good to be Adele for the day!

My official muse on lazy days for Php20.  ^^

That is my 12 year old little sister who packs a punch with that sinister glare.  I remember being 12, so carefree and so swooning over Leonardo DiCaprio! 

Our baby is becoming a lady way too soon!  We cant keep up with her changing likes.  Yesterday it was Dora the Explorer.  Now it's Japanese manga characters I know nothing of!  From rhymes and lullabies to roaring Paramore and J-Pop.  She's a self taught Photoshop enthusiast too!  Kids these days huh?  ;)

I was never her size ever! eheh

While the whole world is going gaga over FIFA World Cup, people in the Philippines in general are clueless about the sport.  I for one is curious about it and wonder to myself why the big deal?  Thank heavens for the rapid development of technology and information, the World Cup is just a button away.  Since there is no team Philippines, I choose to support team Deutschland and here are the reasons why:

• I have loving relatives now based in Germany and they have a very nice family.  
• Our neighbor is in Germany too and she seems happy ^^
• I am intrigued by German History
• I have a fascination for World War II and the Aryan race point of view
• I believe Germans are one of the intelligent people on this planet
• I already have a Deutschland tshirt with a big German flag attached to the back like a cape! LOL

This is a souvenir tshirt my dad brought me from one of his stops to Germany.  

My bro has several Manchester jersey(whatever lol) 

I don't know any player in the World Cup except for David Beckham, so can you suggest skillful Deutschland players I can cheer for?  I'm trying to be global here and join in on the craze.  ^^

At 2:30am Philippine time its Ghana versus Deutschland, and I will watch it, see if ill enjoy it and learn the rules of the sport too!

blush: Dollface Cosmetics 78 Palette

I think a girl can never have too much of make up stuffs.  My stash is so undersized compared to other women out there.  And I'm not talking about professional make up artists, they don't count.  Let's just say they are justified for their "assortments".  I'm not that crazy yet!  The most pricey make up I have are my Mary Kay collection.  These are just basic things I think EVERY girl should have.

Sad to say I don't have M.A.C. but I really want to try them, just waiting for that right time and budget. LOLS

This is my recent splurge, the 56 and 78 color palette from Dollface Cosmetics  I love it so much that I use it almost everyday.
  

Pearl, the pretty face behind Dollface Cosmetics is so nice and sweet.  She is based here in Cebu, so its not all hard to do business with her.  I look forward to my next purchase soon.

Dollface Cosmetics are the same products sold by Coastal Scents.  Both have very nice reviews and available tutorials over at YouTube.
