Venus and Mars Mineral Eye Shadow in Halo

As early as now, I am thanking you for your patience with this review. It is my first time to try a different shade of eye shadow and to do a beauty review for eye shadow. Sample Room sent me the Venus and Mars Mineral Eye Shadow in Halo.

 I tried it on and I can say that I am quite happy with how it turned out. It is a rich shade in aquamarine with little glitters in a small pot. Even for a sample, it contains a generous amount of sheer color in a small pot. This eye shadow is paraben-free, which makes it safe for everyday use.

Pros

One thing I like about this eye shadow color is its wearability. It is cool and pleasant to look at, and it could be the go-to color throughout the spring and summer. Not to mention, if you are really into mint green and have a love for mint green and aquamarine accessories, you will be reaching for this color any time. Women of any age can wear this, and this is also great for both indoor and outdoor affairs.

It is also long-lasting. I put this on in the morning and it is still there even as my working day was coming to a close even without primer. 

It did not give me any eye problems, considering that most of my lower lid was covered with it. It is so light and sheer that I forgot I had it on.

Cons

There is only one small problem with this eye shadow. The packaging seems to be overlooked. I like the color, and the eye shadow is in loose powder form, I hate to see the beautiful color go to waste because the jar has no stopper or regulator whatsoever. Other than that, it is a product that is safe to use and it stays on very well.

Evening in Sta. Maria

I just headed to the Sta. Maria school grounds to have some bonding time with people from work. While others were having cold beer, I sat down devouring barbecue, isaw and Coke. I picked up a souvenir to remember the night and I had to rush home early before the rain really poured... 

In the meantime, here are some photos I was able to gather. I also had to leave early because it is a weekday... 

I tried to make a dreamy effect with this shot. Seems like I failed. 

I had loads of barbecue (no rice, I swear!)

Leleng was serving barbecue for everybody. Am I supposed to count how many sticks I finished? Because I honestly forgot...

  

Now you see me... 

Now you don't...

My emptied bottle of Coke. I couldn't hit on the beer. 

So what do you say to that? 

Strawberry Crepe loaded in jam and choco syrup. And just that. I was disappointed in this. Really disappointed. 

 Keychain galore! 

Bracelets ripe for the picking for only Php 20! 

Manong adds the designs to the bracelets I have picked.

Wire art produced bracelets, earrings, necklaces and rings!

Floral Wedges in the Mail!

Raisie just received floral wedges in the mail and it turned out just as expected! So here I am on a Tuesday grinning wide. I will be doing more looks with these floral prints soon. They will do well with the top I got earlier. 

I got this pair at a very affordable price from Pinky Winky Shoes and Vanity on Facebook and this would do well with my floral rose top. In the meantime, I will be brainstorming for future outfit posts too. 

Just sharing a photo of my floral wedges here! May you be inspired as well! 

Look at Who Went to The Beach This Sunday!

Yes! It is the puppies' time out for beach on a Sunday morning! 

What did Axle and Arista do? Take a bath and practice their Frisbee catching skills with their Kuya! 

 This place is right in front of our family friends' house in Sinubong. This used to be a rest house facing the sea. 

Choloy, Nikki and Jasper joined us with the puppies. 

Time on the grass after going for a dip in the water. Did you know it was exhausting to be your own doggies' yaya? 

Arista obediently returns her yellow Frisbee to her Kuya. Axle seems to have found something else. 

It was a great Sunday morning for time in the beach. Skies were blue. Coconut trees were swaying.

Time to dry off babies!

Kuya no more play Frisbee?

We found a nicely shaped shell and brought it home for our souvenir. We wrote the date and our names on it. 

 How was your Sunday? 

TGIF: Catching Up

I guess that these are some fun stuff a CoEd would be missing when the back is finally turned against the halls of uni. Although I was running late to meet Mich and JC, we still had fun going around and then finally wind down for coffee after checking out a shop in front of uni. I scored a really cool top in mint green and I was just telling Mich how excited I am to post another look in my compilation for it.

This is what the Friday dawn sky looked like from the window of our dining room. 

I tried yet another DIY nails with red and gold glitter inspired by the colours of Chinese New Year. Hopefully by then I could be ready. What do you think?

Caught up with Mich... 

And JC... 

This is JC's Sola Raspberry Iced Tea which I tried and turned out to be yummy... 

And my mochaccino... Funny how we can exchange baked goods in a bakeshop and just order coffee...

And Mich liked the doily-like wallpaper here. 

This is just the right way to end a busy week, chatting with friends and scoring cool new accessories and new additions for new look posts. 

Have a great weekend everyone!
