Back after gazillion years

After a long hiatus from being a beauty blogger, I may formally announce that I AM BACK! Back to reviewing beauty products and back to beautifying myself again.

During my cave-woman days, I didn't put make-up and take care of myself that much. I became a beauty slacker. It's horrible!!!! Like, when was the last time I bought something and really used it? I believe it was like, almost 2 years ago.. NOT GOOD!

Oh well, I bought two lip glosses from Sephora last Sunday, and I will do my reviews on them on my next posts. Can't freaking wait!!

I hope I didn't lose my audience here on my blog. Spread the words - KRISTINE IS BACK IN ACTION!

love package post

as i was about to remove blogger out of my system, there was a love package that came in the mail. Fellow beauty blogger, Georgina (yeah, click on her name to view her blog) and I are classmates way back in the Philippines since 6th grade i think. We've known each other since we were little kids and she has witnessed my obsessions with make up as much as she is obsessed with boybands, lol.. (Peace Gen, peace!!)

Anyhoo.. Gen posed something on her facebook wall about the wedding of our schoolmate who happened to be featured on Metro Wedding (An elite magazine in the Philippines). It was all blurry because as Gen explained, she was too excited to see that article. I patiently read the whole thing from my computer screen although my eyes are hurting already.

Little did I know that this sweet blogger will be sending me a copy here in NJ. We were talking about it a little late after Thanksgiving 2009. We lost touch, I never thought of it since then.

Come to my surprise, there was a package in the mailbox last Saturday. Me & my hubby's got curious who's it from since the sender's name is a guy (I assume it's Gen's cousin or a friend here in the United States). I am even scared to open it.

Then I bravely opened it, and was super duper duper super duper shocked to see whats inside..

Super thank you gen! I appreciated it so much!

1 year

today marks my first year anniversary on blogspot. nothing spectacular. its just its been a year that i am obsessing about make ups, bags, and everything cute. I actually stopped blogging recently and my wallet grew a little fatter. ugh, i don't know. is it me or is there something about this blogging that makes me poor?
anyways, i would just like to take this chance to thank blogger because i was able to meet people here. there are those who are waaaaaaaaay too snobbish for my taste and there are those as well who are really really really nice girls. you know who you are. :)
erm, i don't know maybe i'll be posting some updates soon but for now im just gonna be hanging around my facebook.
please follow me, i maybe doing something really surprising soon. :) i wanna re-vamp my blogger page pretty pretty soon.

I NEED HELP! FASHION HELP!

I know I am not ugly I admit. But I am so insecure about myself because I don't know really how to shop for clothes. I gained 45 lbs during the last 3 years and dressing up is really hard for me. I wasted so much money on clothes that I will only wear for one season because for sure on the succeeding year/ same season the same clothes wont fit me. I came here size 4/6 and now I am a whopping 10/12 and sometimes 14. I feel terribly sad about this but I know some chunky girls who can dress up really good and admire them for that.

Girls, there is no limit on how much tips you could give me as long as I can afford it, I am willing to spend just to overhaul my closet.

PLEASE HELP ME!!

Typhoon hit the Philippines

More than 140 people were confirmed dead on the most recent tragic typhoon that hit my beloved country, THE PHILIPPINES. This wont be a beauty related blog but rather a dedication to all the people who were there and not there that suffered this tragic moment.

Last Friday, I was chatting with my friends in the Philippines telling me how hard the rain is falling back home, I wasn't shocked because Philippines shares one of the highest inches of rain since it is a tropical rainforest country. But when I woke up early Saturday morning to check up on my mom's flight to Thailand, she suddenly told me that it was cancelled.

I was soooo curious why, then I opened my facebook account just to find out that the flood reached neck deep and most people are already on top of their roofs.

I must admit that I wasn't worried about my parents because we live in a very comfortable home. My dad made sure even before buying our house that it's situated in a high land and that things like this wont be a problem for us. I was wrong. My dad's wrong. Here's the proof:

Our home before. Simple & Comfortable.

Our home after the typhoon: Surfing spot.

I felt terribly sad because 2 of our cars got drowned and we're still not sure if it's going to run. But nevertheless, I am still thankful everyone inside the house were safe because we have a 2nd floor.

Some people who were not fortunate enough lost their homes, even family members. To view more pics on what happened, please click the link:

I am also posting this to reach out. If you can give donations, it will be highly appreciated.

BareMinerals

i would love to be considered to be on the infomercial of bare minerals, i mean.. until now, for almost 2 years of helping me achieve a flawless skin it never failed me not even once. I know a lot of you girls considered the mineral makeups that are popping out of the market recently but nothing has ever surpass the greatness of BareMinerals on me.

The only downside of it is the price. It's a bit too much compared to the others but the content would last me half a year considering that I use it everyday.

I stopped working for a while after I got married, so I also stopped using make up that often. I began exploring different brands like MAC, NARS, MUFE, Etc.. but to my dismay it ended up sitting in my traincase unused (might do a blog sale soon).

Its been a month since I started working again and considering the weather right now (hotttt, hottt, hottt) BareMinerals stays with me all day long. I'll do the dramatical before & after photos of me later when I get home from work. For now, let me leave you with my words that I ♥♥♥ BareMinerals..

I have her link on the side of my page -----> anyways, is it me or is this make up blog's not as active as before? oh well, i must say that i am proud that at least i have written something in here right now..

new post from the kisser

hey everyone. it's been a heck of a time since i last posted something here in blog. First of all, I would like to apologize to my contest winner, KAY because of the delay of the prize I am suppose to give. Again, I'm really really sorry.
My mom flew back to Manila on May 30.. believe it or not, after 3 years of her flying to & from the Philippines, it was a first time experience to me to cry hysterically in the airport. My husband wasn't there to be with us so its only me who was left in the airport's rest room cubicle crying my heart out. Its very refreshing to know that i am still capable of crying. I cannot even remember the last time I cried that much prior May 30.
Next.. I am very excited because I had my job interview early this afternoon and I got the job! I feel so blessed because with this recession thing going on in the country, it's really hard to find a job that pays good.
I will start working two weeks from now and I am super duper excited because finally I will have a decent earnings and can dress up really cute. :)
I must post something everyday to keep up with my absence for a month..

ps: I MISS EVERYONE HERE!!! SHOUT OUT TO DSK, TAMMY, MONA, LADYL, MAKEUPBABBLE FUZKITTIE, AND TO THE REST OF THE WORLD!!!

Blog test from my phone

Major Bargain Day

I did some major shopping today and got so many things for less than $20. It's recession time. So I satisfied my cravings for cosmetics on these pretty things..

Been wanting to try on some gel liner. I found this at Rite-Aid for $5.99 and that's with the brush already. I wanna see how violet looks on my eyes..

Here's the swatch. I think it's pretty. Haven't worn it yet on my eyes though.

Wet n Wild is having a major sale. All items is for .99 cents each. I think I wanna try some of their products. I was looking for my very first lipstick shade ever ( I was 13 years old then) I failed. I just tried their lipgloss. For 99 cents I think I had a good steal.

Next is their nail polish. Everyone's wearing them, I'm not a big fan of full shade per nail. I am more of french tip kinda girl. But the color's soooo pretty, and again for 99 cents I don't think it's a sin to get one. Lol..

Next stop is Annie Sez. My friend drove me there (YES! I CAN'T DRIVE) lol.. and found this cute colorful lesportsac bag. I didn't think twice and swiped my card on this..

Let me zoom in the price. Haha! I had it on a good bargain!! Pat on the back Kristine, pat on the back!!
