Budgenista slash makeup lover.



Your typical girl who loves the girly things: makeup, and more makeup! I am constantly in search of affordable makeup- that gets the job done and works its magic. With all the weird "price hikes" the world is experiencing today- I still won't give up on makeup! :P

Kikay On A Budget

Feeling good about yourself doesn't mean burning a hole in your pocket.

Shampoo Away!

Monday, March 31, 2008

Ah.I've found my HG shampoo.


My L'oreal Smooth-Intense shampoo. Damage: 175 php,lasts for more than a month for me.

Now, I can shampoo as much as twice a day,without any dryness or frizzyness.

And I sound like a bad endorser.Hehehe. :D

Truth is, I shampoo twice a day: 1.) in the morning before I go to work.I shampoo with this and afterwards leave conditioner on my hair for 5-10 minutes. 2.)in the evening when I get home from work.Because I'm feeling sleepy and lazy,I skip the conditioning.

But, with this shampoo,my hair doesn't feel dry,and I have no trouble whatsoever combing it after I take a bath.And it still feels soft and silky after I air-dry it.

*Sigh* Truly HG material,right up there with my s5 primer.Can't live without it.

^_^

5 Beauty Crimes I'm not ashamed to commit (hihi)

Thursday, March 27, 2008

Got this from Li(z)terati (interesting! hihi):
1. I know TOO much shampooing is drying for the hair, but-- I do it anyway.I hate the feeling of sleeping with my hair feeling itchy and oily...eeeek.And then I despair when my hair returns to its original, industrial strength state.

2. I go to the mall,all excited to look through lots of makeup to buy.But, when I actually get there,I end up buying nothing.I always think to myself,"Do I need this right now?" Hehe.(Kunyari matipid, but my boyfriend complains everytime I get my salary,I have something new from Bare Naturals.Hihi.)

3. When I arrive at the office and get to my desk, I take out my huge mirror,and check my makeup,and marvel at how nice mineral makeup is.After a few minutes, I take out my mirror and look at my makeup again.After a few hours or so, I do it again.Ah.It's a vicious cycle that just repeats. :D

4. I don't know anything about-er- eyebrow grooming.That's why my Tita Badette complains "Ano ba yang kilay mo!" everytime we see each other every Saturday.

5. I always use concealer for my.....Elbows! Yup, this is such a huge turn- off, but I'm a fair-skinned person with dark elbows. Hihihihi. Now, if only I can use them for----Ahahaha!

From my divisoria trip last year...

I just want to share 2 of my favorite things from my divisoria trip before Christmas last year:

Price:140 php.Last price: 70 php


I like this cap coz of it's cool,kinda worn out look. My mom pretty much liked coz she's "borrowing" it. :D


Price:250 Last price: 200

I find this very cute and kinda comfy. ^_^ It's also a bit roomy..I use it when I go out of the house with all the "kikay" essentials in it: full-to-bursting kikay kit,pack of tissues,large brush (hehe), fan, wallet, lotion, alcohol...etc...hehe.

Backlogged- argh!

Wednesday, March 19, 2008

Anyway,anyway.I'm so busy and tired the past few weeks,so I haven't made a single post about my loot here.Hehe.

So.It was payday,so I decided to buy these:




From Bare Naturals: s5 mattifying primer for oily skin,Prettiest Pinky-Peach blush in 10 g.

I swear, these products are sooo amazing, but all for a very reasonable price (compared to other brands--visit their site to see for yourself!). Their makeup is sooooo ubeerrr amazing.And very healthy,too.See, I'm a girl blessed with the many qualities of a good skin: acne-prone,oil factory skin, large pores, pot-holed, and scarred.Did I mention "insert heavy sarcasm" here? Hehe.But, try using the primer, then their foundi-stay, plus their blush and-- voila!Very nice coverage,plus no irritations whatsoever.

Anyway, I also remember a time last week (can't remember what day) that when I got home, I got a big plasticful of these:


Cream Silk Precision Repair Treatment sachet (14 php each), Palmolive Naturals Papaya Soap White + Protect (40-5- php each I think.hehe.)

Mama bought it for me, and when I got home it's like I won the Kabuhayan Showcase. :D The Cream Silk is like giving your hair TLC every week,it makes your hair shiny and soft. The Palmolive is really nice, I've been using it after I became irritated to Likas. I know, I already have fair skin,and I shouldn't be using whitening stuff anymore, but the papaya stuff helps clear my back acne.Hehe.

So.Here comes the last loot I have:


March 2208 issue of Seventeen (85 php) and Preview (125 php)

I dunno why, but I suddenly got addicted to fashion magazines. Preview is best if you're looking for haute couture, and Seventeen is best for people who regress back to teenybopper years.Hehe.Seriously, my favorite would be Seventeen, because of the young, carefree vibe that it brings.

That's it for now, and will probably post some-erm- backlogged topics. :D

Hi and welcome!

Friday, March 14, 2008

Welcome to this-ahem-blog about being kikay, but on a budget (lol,pretty obvious on the blog name). Being pretty and all that jazz doesn't mean girls have to constantly burn a hole in their pockets. So, this is my diary about my quest for great kikay finds that are very affordable.

Umm..now, if only I can find out how to cross-post from my other blog...I'm so techie ignorant *boo!*
