The texture of the foundation is silky, and a little goes a pretty long way. In fact, I only use this much product for my whole face:



As for the longevity of the product,  I am really impressed since it lasts the whole day (around 8-9 hours). I figured it also helps in controlling my face's oily antics, but I still need to blot once or twice a day depending on what I am doing.

Let me just reiterate how much satisfied I am with Happy Skin's Second Skin Creme, and I will definitely be repurchasing once the tube runs out.

My skin is definitely happy with this one!

On to the actual product, I am in awe at how pigmented this product is! It took me only two coats to get a full opaque color. Also, it doesn't feel heavy and sticky at all, which is a big thumbs up for me because I don't like my lips feeling all sloppy (who does anyways?). It's also infused with ginseng, which I figured helps in moisturising your lips. I've actually been suffering from dry lips the past few days. Initially, I thought the cracks would still appear after I apply the product, but theBalm lip gloss was actually successful in making my lips look fine and moisturised.



On to the longevity of the product, it actually left a stain on my lips which lasted for a good 6 hours. But like most lip products, I had to reapply it to maintain the whole bold and glossy look. Overall, I am loving this lip product, particularly this bright fuchsia shade. It's a great break from the usual nudes, something suiting to the vibrant holiday.

I'm the kind of girl who likes spontaneity yet appreciates an organised schedule, which explains why having a planner is something I consider mandatory. My memory is also picky on what things to remember, so I find planners that also function as a notebook really handy.

Just recently, my sister got me a red Starbucks x Moleskine Weekly planner! She bought it from a friend for Php 1,600.00, it's originally sold in Korea. It actually comes in two colors, but the black one was already sold out when she inquired. Just a brief background: I actually have a red 2014 Moleskine Weekly planner. It's very simple and straight to the point, just how I like my planner to be.

The limited edition Moleskine planner from Starbucks is very much similar to the classic Moleskine planner, which you can freely browse at any National Bookstore. One obvious difference is the cover page. Although it's made of the same sturdy leather used in my previous Moleskine planner, this version is actually embossed with the logo of Starbucks at the bottom part (as can be seen below):
Each month is also divided by colorful Korean inserts, which I clearly do not understand. But from the looks of it, I am guessing it represents the season/happening per month.


Another major difference is that some pages are actually designed! It may not sound that big of a deal to some, but for someone who likes dainty prints, this particular feature actually got me all giddy!


In a nutshell, I absolutely appreciate the collaboration between Starbucks and Moleskine to produce such classic-looking planner. I read Starbucks Korea made it in celebration of their 15th anniversary in the country. How I wish they made it available in the Philippines though!

October was such an eventful month for me. For starters, one of the biggest leaps of my life happened this month. It involves togas, happy parents, speeches, and generic diplomas. Can you guess what I'm referring to? (As if my photo below is not a giveaway, lol.)

After 3 years and one term of hard work and unhealthy habits (wish I was kidding about this one), I am finally done with college! 

Rewinding a few days back, I would always pray at night that no tripping incident would happen. Too bad I almost tripped though. OKAY. Maybe I actually did, but only during the college recognition rites. I forced my self to wear sky-high heels because as an extremely petite girl wanting to look like an actual college graduate.. I needed the extra height.



That's all for now!
