Loving ZA Cosmetics

Posted in Wifey Notes by

I’ve been searching for the right make-up for me for as long as I can remember. I wanted a make-up that is not too pricey and right for my skin type. Good thing I saw the blog post of Makeup Stash about ZA Cosmetics.

After reading the blog post, I was convinced to buy ZA products already. So after work, I went straight to Watson’s to check if the products that I wanted were available.

At first, I didn’t see True White Plus Instant Brightener in the shelves but with the proper “rummaging” I saw it at the side.

I bought the primer/brightener, foundation and case and blush vibrante. I love the effect of the ZA products to my face. It has a matte finish that made me look fresh and flawless (chos!). Even Doms loved it. He said the make-up blended well in my skin tone (Doms: Ayus yung make-up hindi mashadong halata pero ok).

Here are some of my pictures using the ZA products that I bought.

OK, I know I don’t know how to put make-up but this is the best that I can do. Next time, I will be buying the eye shadow and the mascara to complete my set.

Royal Wedding Day

Posted in Wifey Notes by

Yup, today is the day when my ex-crush Prince William will marry the love if his life, Kate. I am really excited about this event. I particularly like the fairy tale story of how they met and eventually fell in love.

I want to see Kate’s wedding gown! I read somewhere that her gown will be a vintage Alexander McQueen creation! Shucks! I love it!

I wore my peach flower top today to commemorate William and Kate’s wedding. I love this top!

I also brought along my heavy laptop to work so I can watch the wedding live this afternoon. I really wish I can get a trusted and nice URL for the live streaming.

The A. Venue Experience

Posted in Wifey Loves to Travel by

A. Venue Hotel and Suites was not how I expected it to be. Since the cost per night of the hotel is very cheap, I was half expecting it to be like a “motel” or “apartelle” type.

The hotel was situated in the middle of Makati Avenue. Stores, Restos and Malls were all a stone’s throw away. It was walking distance to Doms’ place and to the church activities that we wanted to do in our short vacation.

A. Venue’s hotel lobby was presentable enough. The desk personnel were all accommodating and they explained to us all the things that we should know. Check in was a breeze so we were able to go up our rooms in less than 30 minutes.

Our room looked amazing! It was small but it can fit up to 10 people, all sitting down. The aircon was cold and not once did I hear brother complain that it was warm. The sheets were clean and the chairs were comfortable enough. Even the bed was nice a comfortable.

My only concerns were the curtains and the lighting.

Curtains were not made very well. I understand that they wanted to cover the window from the ceiling to the floor but I really hope that they got a good curtain maker. There were gaps in the curtain where the light was streaking. They should have gotten blinds instead. For the lighting, the room was kinda dim because they used spotlights instead of normal fluorescent lights.

All in all, I loved our stay in A. Venue. Doms told that in our next vacation, we will be staying there again.
