What's in the Bag?

As a blogger, some days you're just stumped in picking out a perfect topic to write. Enter Pinterest, the amazing wealth of ideas of things to inspire you on your next great post. Browsing the site a while ago, I've noticed a number of people pinning the items they have inside their bags. 

I'm astounded by the number of things people slip inside their bags. And I mean really? You carry a pair of extra shoes around? Plus that hard bound book of Catching Fire? Anyway, seeing all this made me pull up my bag and check what I have inside as well.

My very sturdy and basic Michael Kors bag. Ultra utilitarian, I love that it doesn't have any frills just a pretty sack that you can have no problem dumping things in.

Pantone of the Year: Radiant Orchid

I am totally excited for this year's color. It's one of the top shades that I know works really well with my skin tone whether I am really tan (during summer) or at my lightest (during rainy season going to the cooler months). It also gives that automatic warmth to your skin, so even though you're feeling gloomy and grey, just wear this color and poof! You're all happy and bright!

Here are some makeup that I'm looking forward to grabbing this year in this delicious shade.

1. Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Matte Lip Tar in "Hoochie" - I am really looking forward to getting my very first lip tar and what better shade than this purple - lavander shade. Bet this would be smashing because of the matte finish.

2. Models Own in "Purple Passion" - Can I say it's always a good thing when you have "ube" (purple yam in english) on your hands? Yum!

3. NARS Satin Lip Pencil in "Jardin de Plantes" - Parlez-vous Français? Juste un petit peu! Lol! Sorry but in reality my French only includes Hello, Good Day / Night and My name is. But don't you think this NARS lip pencil just screams Paris to you? I can definitely see Madam Pompadour with this lip shade.

4. Inglot Rainbow Eye Shadow in 114R and 115R - Of course we should never forget the shade of Orchid on our eyes. Since I'm building my bigger Inglot Freedom Palette, these shades would definitely come first on my to buy list.

5. Shiseido "Cool" Luminizing Lip Gloss - in the more lilac spectrum of Orchid, this lip gloss just gives you that hint of color. 

6. Benefit Hervana Face Powder - this lovely swirl of a blush carries 4 amazing colors shell, peach, rose and berry that when combined together gives an orchid blossom blush. 

Sneak Peek: Inglot Has Landed

If you've been following my blog you would have noticed the count down I posted for the opening of the first ever Inglot store in the Philippines. I was so excited that I needed to have a visual reminder of the number of minutes I have to wait.

But Inglot Ph upped the ante by giving their fantards a sneak peek 2 days before the actual opening of the store. My makeup fairy must be in hyper mode (remember the MUFE thing? *smirks) because I scored exclusive passes.

Now I'm sharing you first dibs of this exciting day.

Inglot Philippines is Coming!

We're counting the days! I am so excited to have Inglot here in Manila. I've seen the product up close when I was in the US and it was just so pigmented and rich. I am definitely queuing to grab my own eye shadow pan on opening day!

The clock is ticking!
