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.

Mini- loot last Thursday, and then some...

Saturday, May 31, 2008

Got my orders from BareNaturals just this Thursday:

2 bars of emu oil soap and my potent calamsi extract freebie (thanks Ms. Lami!!! )

And then while my Dad was buying something from Mercury Drug, I went to Watson's and got these:

RDL facial cleanser with papaya extract, Ever Bilena Smooth Eyes eyeshadow, Mandom Purifying facial scrub

And since I've already mentioned Bare Naturals, here was my haul- erm- a few days (or weeks?) ago...

Oil- free Pretties powder primer, 5 ml.potent calamansi extract (both were freebies, again, from Ms. Lami ^_^ ), s5 Skin Perfecting soap, my 2nd full pot of Foundi-stay in Neutral Light Medium, and my Softest- Focus flat top brush (loooooove this brush!!!!)

Ok...so now I have a lot of pending reviews? *screams head off*

LOL! :P

My first-ever eyelash curler.

Thursday, May 22, 2008

Yep! You got that righty!


I never really paid attention to my lashes before ( Or any eye makeup, for that matter, sans the eyeliner ), hence, the eye-poking issues I have whenever I (attempt) to put masacara on, or the welling up of tears, when I try to line my upper lashline. Gawd, I just suck at eye makeup. Anyhoo, from my love at browsing through different makeup sites, I just can't help but admire how curly lashes really open up the eyes. Ah, so beautiful. So. One day, while browsing through shelves of beauty prods at Watson's, (With an annoying saleslady in tow, I just wanted to snap at her, "WTF, I have money to burn!" which, we all, know, is not the truth.), I found this:


Erm...LOL. It's not sold like that, but I can assure you, it has a nice packaging ( In some sort of tough plastic packaging) to ensure that it's not in anyway damaged or something like that. Great. I really suck in giving descriptions. Anyhoo, it's battery-operated (2 AAA's), and costs only 129 php. So. I was doing the math:

Beeeeeyyoooottifuull!!! So I instantly grabbed it and headed to the nearest counter. And here's me trying it out:

Just the mascara. Aack. My lashes are stick- straight.


After curling.

OK, so the pics proved that I'm an idiot for curling my lashes for the first time. Hihi. At first, I was wary of having my lashes and my lids burned, but I found it harmless! It does heat up, but not the clothes- iron ouchy kind of heat. It's perfectly safe, even if it presses too close to your lids.

[ Insert picture of myself, nursing lid burns ]

Ahhh just kiddin'. Anyhoo, now all I need is a Fasio hyperstay mascara ( Which I've been itching to buy, grrr) to help my curl stay put. :D

Lazy--Crazy.

Saturday, May 17, 2008

I guess it's fitting to start this post with an evil laugh.

So. It's, like, what? A few months already?Years?

So.

Hahahahahaha.

Okay, 'nuff fooling around.

I've had a new haul from Bare Naturals again, and a little more others, so , I have now a collection of pics on my digicam which are generally intended for posting. But, alas, the evil in me struck with such force--ahem-- (getting too Lord of the Rings-ish here), that I cannot gather enough strength to claw my way against tide after tide of laziness to get to my PC, hence, the lack of updates.

In short and simple terms, I'm feeling laaaazzzzzyyy.

So.What have I been up to these days? Simply bumming around, playing God of War 2 (again and again) with the lil' bro, and exercising. Yep, you got that right-- exercising. Been doing (attempted) sit- ups, stationary jogging (to the fridge), and dancing (like some psychotic drunk woman). With no effect whatsoever on me, obviously. But I won't give up. I won't! I am soooo dying to get rid of my flabs in exchange for abs!!! No, I'm not trying to be Arnold Schwarzenegger here, but I want a tummy like JLo. Sexy, sexy! And also, I've been bumming around, wallowing in my separation anxiety from the hubby, which can all be found in my tearful, dramatic, blog (and now is my cue to insert HEAVY sarcasm). Hehe. When I'm sad, I just can't avoid to be not dramatic. C'mon. Give me a break, will 'ya? :D
