Merlion Hazelnuts Chocolates

Souvenirs

Shake shake shake! and instant snow effect for this,
So kyyuttt!! Yung Merlion sa gitna is rotating with matching sounds, yung sounds nya kagaya ng sa jewelry box. Not battery operated, de susi lang kaya bet na bet ko 'to hehe :)

I bring home 2 of this kind, one for our homie and one for Daniel's (boyfie) family :)

SG Shirts

KEY CHAINS/ BOTTLE OPENER

REF MAGNETS

pasalubongs for officemates

blue for boys, pink for girls ;)

My Uncle Boy's special request na ipasalubong ko sa kanya :)

BRACELETS

NECKLACES

I kept the Owl piece for myself, and gave the Butterfly to my friend and the Eiffel Tower to my cousin

another set of necklaces

I bought 9 pieces of these, 3pieces for each color in the photo

Only one left for me, the rest are pasalubongs for my girl friends ;)

I was so busy assisting my parents for this trip, nagmistulang alaga ko sila kaya I didn't have much time to shop for myself, I let them shop at alalay lang ako.

So, I had only few personal finds, they are....

H&M Black Tank Top

H&M set of Earrings and Headband

Maybelline Lippies

Mine is 132 Sweet Pink, and I gave the 553 Glamourous Red to Daniel's Mom

Nike Polo Shirt for Daniel My Loves ♥

I had a hard time thinking ano ipapasalubong ko kay boyfie since he is a seaman he is used to in going in and out of the country, but because it's my thoughts that will count I think ok na'to he like Nike Shirts naman, bragging rights na lang na sa Singapore ko binili. hehe :)

 Starbucks Demitasse

This is my 3rd set, one is from Malaysia, the other is from China and this is the 3rd.

This has been my souvenir in every country I visited.

From Bugis:

MU Practice NO MORE!! x Artsy Fartsy Giveaway

Howdy Lovelies!

Earlier today, I attended a wedding of my high school friend at Fernbrook Garden Alabang and I will show you how I did my Make Up. Ohh yess!! My first ever Make Up for a formal event. 

So this is it

The wedding started at 9 A.M. that's why I opted a bright color for my eye-shadow and also to match it with my cream dress which I got from China. (Click here for my entry about the said dress)

don't you just love my headband? :)

aside from that floral headband, I added a Capiz Bracelet (gift from my Sis-in-law from Palawan), Round gold earring (from my Mom) to complete my look. Ooppss. not to mention my Nail art, it added a kick to my look, I guess :)

eyes:

Maybelline Expert Wear Eye Shadow- Gray Pallete

Maybelline Hyper Curl Volum' Express Waterproof Mascara

face:

Ever Bilena Studio Finish Stick Foundation

Cheek:

Avon Simply Pretty Cheek color- Rosy Cheeks

Lips:

Ever Bilena Lipstick- Cherish

I will blog about the wedding next time :)

I'll end this post with Artsy Fartsy Ava's Banana Peel Giveaway

Good luck! :)

What I got from China!

Hi there Ladies. It's nice to be back!

I miss blogging, I bring my notebook with me during my travel abroad but I cannot access this site there I dunno if it's blocked or whatever, same with Facebook & Twitter. But anyhow, I'm home sweet home and now I'll share to you guys what I bought, (mostly as pasalubongs) in China.

Souvenir Shirts

I bought everything in Shanghai except for the Pink one from which I got in Beijing. The print says "I Climbed the Great Wall of China". Yeah! I did!! :)

Assorted Souvenir items from Shanghai & Beijing

Chopsticks & Cute Figurines

These are for my dear office mates :)

aren't they cute? :)

and this one, for my BOSS! Ü

Geisha Doll.

For my Mom, she displayed this right away to our sala the moment I took this out  from my luggage :)

I bought this because when I was a kid my mom used to have this (really look like this one) and I broke it. I thought this is PAYBACK TIME, so I grab one and gave it to my Nanay. She's happy naman seeing this :)

Chocolates

Free Bag for every One Bag of M&M Chocolates

So now, let's move on to my personal stuff:

I will put the amount in Chinese Yuan (CNY) currency, and to give you an idea the exchange rate when I converted my money in the airport,1 US Dollar is equivalent to 6.40 Chinese Yuan.

Maybelline Lip Balm. CNY 26

My lips are chopped since it's somehow cold in China, around 14-18 degrees..

Cheongsam- A traditional Chinese Dress. CNY 120

We had one Gala night during my trip & we are required to wear a Traditional Chinese dress, I bought one in China since I have no time to buy here before I left.

Kipling Bag. CNY 65

Of course this is just an imitation yet the quality is nice. It really looks like original.

Paul Frank Shirt- CNY 35

Scarf. CNY 25

Dress. CNY 70 (my favorite purchase)

(photo credit: eBay.ph)

I also got this set of Demitasse but I forgot to took a photo so I just borrowed from the net.

I also forgot the exact amount whether I got this by CNY 84 or CNY 88, but most likely around that price.

This is another favorite purchase since I also have a Kuala Lumpur Malaysia Demitasse which I got last year from my travel. :)

So there you go, sorry for this heavy photo post. I'm sure this purchases gave justice on how I enjoyed my 5-day stay there.

Thanks for reading. :)

Hugs & Kisses,
