    Hey guys!

    Christmas is just around the corner and I'm pretty sure you're rushing to get some last minute shopping done. And I just realized how I just said the same thing a year ago on another blog post similar to this one you're reading right now!

    Thought it might help you guys in figuring out what to buy for your friends and family the best Christmas gift that they would surely love this season. Now without further ado here are some of my ideas. But first let me just throw in a picture of the highlight of this blog, this Too Faced Sweet Peach Eye Shadow Palette.


    Too Faced Sweet Peach Eye Shadow Palette 




    I actually got this one as a present from a friend on my birthday this year so I'm not actually sure what's the price of this palette.

    If your friend or a family member don't already own this I recommend you go grab them or even yourself this palette. It has all the warm colors that could help you achieve that fresh, natural makeup look. 

    I'm not going to do a swatch on this one since this is not a review post about this palette but let me know if you want one in the future on the comment section below.

    Hey guys!

    How was your Christmas? Mine was absolutely great because I got to spend it with my family complete this year to which I am so happy about. I wanted to do a quick review on this eyeshadow palette that I got for Christmas from a friend. I wouldn't be able to include how much this cost since like I said, I got this as a present.



    This is an eyeshadow palette from Fashion 21. I think it's a local brand here in the Philippines, I'm not really sure since it doesn't come up in the search bar whenever I try to search about its origin. Forever 21 keeps popping up instead so I gave up on knowing.

    The palette has 48 shades, each one doesn't have a specific name to them just numbers as you can see in the picture below.



    I tried to do a swatch on my arm but for some reason they all came out very light. Maybe because I didn't pressed on very well, I kind of didn't want to ruin the palette. But when I applied it on over my eyelids, it was pigmented and I really like the colors.

    I can definitely see myself making a makeup tutorial using this palette very soon.

    I like the fact that it comes with two applicators though I wouldn't use it on myself and instead use the Kabuki Brush that I've bought, I would probably use it when I forget my makeup brushes or when I want to save space in my makeup bag when travelling. I also like the mirror it comes with it's really useful.

    Overall, I really liked this gift so thank you so much for giving this to me Micah!

    Hey guys!

    Christmas is just around the corner and I know some of you are in a rush to get your family and friends the perfect gift for this holiday. You're not alone I, myself, am also in a rush to get my friend's gifts mainly because I couldn't think of what to give them earlier this month.

    I thought it'd be a fun idea to help and share with you guys what I think is best and meaningful gift to give out to your family and friends, so without further ado here are some of my ideas.



    1. Witty Mugs



    This is actually my favorite mug, it says "I don't give a sip". I can't really remember exactly how much this was just the fact that it was around PHP 60 (about $1.21), I bought this at the SM Department Store but I'm sure it's available at any store selling mugs as well.

    There were a bunch of these with captions like "Don't go BACON my heart" and "I couldn't if I FRIED" etc., it was really funny but I chose "I don't give a sip" instead since it caught my eyes and my heart the moment I laid eyes on it.

    You can also customize one of your own to make it more meaningful, all you need is a simple white mug or any color of your choice and an oil based sharpie paint pens and you're good to go. Regular sharpies will wash off once you put them in the dish washer.




    2. Scrapbook



    Materials:
    Pens
    Tapes or Glues
    Patterned and Colored Papers
    Scissors
    Stickers
    Album

    I personally think it's best if you partner this along with your witty mug. The materials needed seems like a lot but it really just depends on how you want to design it, in my case my friend gave me this scrapbook wherein it's mostly just a bunch of pictures of us together, her own drawn designs, and some short messages on each page.

    I'm a type of person who likes to treasure memories so for her to give me this, I really appreciated it.







    3. Polaroid


    This is perfect for that friend or family member who likes to take photos, especially if they are a photographer. You can find this at any shop that sells cameras for around PHP 4,500 (about $90) including the film needed for it. That is just an estimated price not the actual one.

    If I am not mistaken there are six colors in which you can choose from. There's white, black, purple, red, blue, and yellow.

    Film only costs around PHP 400 (about $8) and that only has ten.



    4. A Box Full of Things They Want





    Products:
    Powder (Shawill) - PHP 188
    Eyeshadow Palette (Shawill) - PHP 195
    BB Cream (Shawill) - PHP 199
    Baby Doll Eyes: Bold Liquid Eyeliner - PHP 145
    Three Lip balms - PHP 59 each
    Face Exfoliator - PHP 142
    Body Spray - PHP 59


    I actually bought the eyeliner and exfoliator for myself, I will definitely do a review on that on a different post but right now all I could say is Wow you guys. I really like it. You can find all of these at any branch of Watsons nationwide.

    A box full of something that they want- so, this actually depends on who you are going to give it to and in my case I'm going to give this out to my mother. You can get a box at the National Bookstore near you, prices depends on the size of what you're going to get.



    Here are some other gift ideas you could give. It's better than a gift card at least!

    Calligraphy Pen
    Journal
    Colored Pens
    Bag
    PS4 games (prices range from PHP 2,500 and up)
    Guitar
    Ukulele
    Pillow
    Stuffed Toys
    Polaroid Films
    Towels
    Hair Straightener
    Cologne
    Phone Case
    Accessories
    Makeup
    Watch
    Clothes
    Wallet
    Book
