Sephora Hong Kong Haul

God. My wallet was damaged again for having layovers over Hong Kong. Everytime I think of the city, I no longer think about the wanton that I like from Kowloon– hence it’s Sephora! It’s beginning to get a bit colder over HKG. 18 degrees makes my skin drier and my lips getting chapped. Must always bring Chapstick and petroleum jelly though. Anyway I completely forgot about my two coats at home so I was surprised when I opened my luggage when I saw only one cashmere sweater. That’s so awful. Comparing it to two coats that would make me feel toasty while walking around the city. Now I’ve kept a promise that those two will never leave my suitcase ever. Then again thank you to Maria who let me borrow her extra one. 

NARS Blush in Orgasm

L’occitane Shea Butter Hand Creme - Every jetsetter must definitely have this one. You’ll just love the buttery texture and the moisture that you need on your hands. I think this is my fifth tube already.

And lastly, L’occitane’s Almond Supple Skin Oil - I like this better than the Olive one from The Body Shop though. It doesn’t leave a sticky feeling and it’s bearable if you’re in a tropical country. I love using this after having a long hot shower– spritzing it all over my body and letting it set for two minutes or so. It smells kind of sweet, just like any normal almond oil and doesn’t leave a funny smell. Two thumbs up for this one. I think it’s better to use after having a long hot bubble soak in the tub for after having a very long day. 

Which reminds me of unpacking some of my used clothes and throw them in all in the laundry. Need to get a few drawers too because two of my make up storage containers are getting full. I need to get rid of some of the stuff that I don’t use anymore. Ah got lots of things to do. Toodles.

I know I’m late, but still!

I only would go to Spektra to read once in a while then I saw this thread. That would be so exciting! I wonder if the packaging would be pink or the classic Hello Kitty red? I just can’t wait! 

So I’ve been busy (again) with work and all. Good thing I got to chance to watch and passed by ETC last night and saw the Project Runway Philippines Finale Part 1. As a tradition, the three remaining finalists would go to their lovely homes and complete their collection for the fashion show. Joji Loren visited them and took a peek on their works. But one of the most suprising part was when the three met Teresa and announced that they will make a men’s wear, so they will have a male model for the final show. Veejay was the most surprised one because he doesn’t know how to make men’s clothes. That would be a real challenge for him. Anyway I like him. I like how he knows on how to dress a woman. I like Philip’s tailoring skills too. That would be an advantage of him. And Aries would need to tone down a bit on his designs. Some of it are just all over the place. One piece could be so confusing. I cannot wait for next week.

Annnnd, auditions for the second season is already on sched! Click here to go the PRP’s website and get updated.

Project Runway Philippines Season 2 Auditions Schedule

• November 22 - SM Makati
• December 7 - SM North Edsa
• December 12 - SM Megamall

I can really say. This reality show is quite more successful than Philippine’s Next Top Model. I mean, the only print that I saw with the winner was in back issue of a magazine that featured her, and that’s it. I cannot even remember her name.

Other than that, I finally got my Alexander McQueen embossed patent wallet that I’ve always wanted. It has two colors, black, and I got myself with the burgundy one. And I promise not to stash some of my coins or change in here if I am in a hurry. That last one that I had with a similar wallet, it just bulged up and completely ruined the zipper.

Got to go and fix this damn jetlag. Toodles!

Packing must haves.

Wow, these past two weeks was quite stressful. Flying from here and there, I literally do not have the time to unpack some of my stuff. Other than that, I can’t even remember when I even organized my luggages again. Cabin crew would never unpack, even on their long vacays. So I really had a better idea to organize my things. The more organized, the more that I can remember where I placed what. Because I would really end up buying a new one of that thing that would be missing, then later on the week, would find out that I have tons of it. One example, jars and jars or petroleum jelly. I found one in my purse, my cosmetic bag, toiletry kit, even inside the trunk in my car. So, I decided to buy sets of organizing stuff that I found online. Calling myself a pack rat literally, I bought stuff here in eBags. I love eBags!

eBags’ Value Set: Packing Cubes + Pack-It-Flat + Shoe Sleeves

It has 3 packing cubes. The larger one is for my shirts, shorts, some pants, pajamas, camis, sweaters, knits, blouses. (Tip: You can roll your clothes and stick them all in while packing. It saves space too.) The medium one has all of my underwear, socks, towels. And the small one has my socks, hoisery, gloves, scarves. I do not have a problem with my uniform because we were all issued with garment bags so it’s okay.

The Pack-It Flat is my toiletry kit. Shampoo, conditioner, facial wash, make-up removers, toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash, body lotion, body wash and loofah, moisturizers, alcohol, foot scrub and shaver. It also has a hook when the flap is opened, so you can hang it everywhere. 

The third one, shoe sleeves. It comes with two, so I think I need more so I bought two of it individually for only $14.99. I’m a pack rat, so sometimes I would bring four types of shoes with me. Hehe. 

Each set would come with pink, red, black, green and blue. I got mine in pink. Other than that, I also got some cubes for my other things. Like my hairdryer, brushes, hair ties, hair pins and hair spray.

My must haves:

Nobody wants clutter anymore in their luggages, so you do not have to search in every pocket of your bag. Organize when you need to so it will take you less of your time in finding stuff. Next on my list would be that cute roll-up jewelry bag, so I don’t have to place them in some pouch bags. And I need a smaller cosmetic bag, so I can literally cut down my make-up binging.

So yesterday was Halloween, and today it’s the first day of November, and tomorrow everyone here in our country is celebrating All Souls’ Day. After this, I would be brave enough to watch Mirrors at ten in the evening. Wish me luck.
