Wow! where did our week go?

I guess it’s time to do a quick recap of what I’ve shared on my Instagram and Twitter!

MONDAY

Monday Basics! Showed some love to this Urban Decay Naked Basics palette. I’ve had this for quite sometime now and they still looked unused. I love how pigmented this palette is and the shade is just perfect for everyday use. I’ve been using the shades VENUS, NAKED2 and FAINT. This palette is perfect for newbies and pros too!

TUESDAY

This Sephora blush in CORAL CRUSH is amazing! This shade is just great for my skin complexion and I love the hint of shimmer on this product as it serves as a highlighter too. The shimmer effect is not overwhelming and because it’s very pigmented, you don’t have to apply a ton on your cheeks. What I noticed about this product is that, the longer it stays on your skin the better it looks.

WEDNESDAY

Lipstick Wednesday! Here’s my lip combo last week, and since it’s Wednesday then we gotta have some Pink right? But before I apply anything on my lips, I had to apply my Holy Grail Carmex Original Lip Balm to moisturize those lips. I then applied L’ORÉAL Colour Riche Le Matte Lipcolour Stick in She’s so Matte then paired with NYX COSMETICS Retractable Lip Liner in Nude Pink. These lip products are super pigmented, non-drying and long lasting too with an awesome result on your lips.

THURSDAY

Still loving UD Naked Basics palette and for my lashes I was wearing MAYBELLINE Pumped Up! Colossal Volum’Express Glam Black then brought out my old friend from MAC Cosmetics in PINCH ME to give these cheeks some glow and finished the look with my new favorite lipstick from RIMMEL LONDON The Only One Lipstick in You’re All Mine.

FRIDAY

Both items are sample sizes from IPSY ‘s Glam Bags. tarte Amazonian Clay Matte Waterproof Bronzer  and tarte Smooth Operato Amazonian Clay Finishing Powder are both amazing and it’s definitely worth the hype!

And that’s it! If you want to see more of my fun activities, please don’t hesitate to follow me on Instagram and on Twitter.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Top 3 ft. Topshop!

TOP_Fotor

When I hear the word TOPSHOP, I think about clothes, shoes, bags and accessories. But Topshop has great beauty products too!

In this post, I will be sharing my Top 3 beauty items from Topshop.

BLUSH

Do It Again powder blush is such a gorgeous shade, very pigmented, super lightweight and the color payoff is just amazing when it touches your cheeks. The packaging is very compact, convenient to carry around, not too small and not too big either, this comes with a mirror which makes it even better. This perfect PEACH shade has a very subtle shimmer which makes your skin glow beautifully.

(FYI: I dropped this blush a few times and it’s still in-tact)

HIGHLIGHTER

SUNBEAM (Gold) Highlighter is the only highlighter that I’ve reached the most. It may look “yellowish” or “goldish” in the picture or up-close but this product is just one of a kind. Just like the powder blush, this highlighter is very pigmented, not powdery and the shimmer is just perfect for your skin. I’ve used this multiple times and they still look untouched. I normally uses my fingertips when applying this highlighter as I feel like it glides better and applies better on my skin. The only thing that I wish this highlighter has is a mirror. But I mean, for the price and quality? I guess I can skip that mirror part. Right?

LIPS

I almost forgot that I have this lipstick, I purchased this when I went to NYC back in December. This lipstick is so smooth on the lips, the pigmentation is awesome, the packaging is adorable and the price is super affordable. I got the shade ROLE MODEL (FUSCHIA) and this is a matte finish lipstick which I love. Look at the last photo below, this lipstick is obviously long lasting. I used a damped paper towel to remove them and it doesn’t want to leave my skin!

Matte finish lipstick to smooth, moisturise and nourish lips. Apply for fabulous colour and moisturised, matte finish, wear alone or with gloss for a shiny finish

Fun Facts: All TOPSHOP products are imported and shipped from the UK.

Verdict: I never regret purchasing any of these items. From the product,
the packaging (If you’ve seen my last post Jewelry Obsessed! you know that I love “stars) and the price… it’s worth every penny.

CONS: NONE

“I wish we have Topshop store around as I would prefer seeing the
product up-close than purchasing online without me swatching or seeing how
the color or shade would look on my skin”.

Have you guys tried any TOPSHOP beauty products? and what is your favorite from their beauty collection?

Until next time…

Jewelry Obsessed!

 

Let’s take a break from the usual and talk about some other girly stuff!

Aside from cosmetics, clothing, shoes and purses I am also obsessed with jewelry. I have quite a few jewelry but I tend to reach for the same exact piece.

In this post, I will be sharing with you my MOST worn jewelry in the last twelve months to date. Continue reading “Jewelry Obsessed!”

Happy Anniversary?!

OK! please be ready to spare some of your time for this post as it’s going to be a looongg one! But I’ll try to make it shorter..if I can. 🙂

 I joined WordPress back in 2008. Yup in 2008! However, I had no idea how to navigate WordPress at that time as they had such a complicated menus or even limited themes to choose from. Bottomline, it wasn’t that user friendly.

As far as I can remember I wrote something about my Life Journey in which I discovered seven years later that it wasn’t even published. HAHA

So back in January 27 of 2015, I’ve decided to do something else so I thought why not start a blog? I then remembered I had WordPress! I immediately grabbed my phone (Thank you to smart phones, it made everything so easy and accessible) and logged-in to WordPress.com and wow! my account is still active. No views or visitors though..(LOL)  My account name back then was Capricorn (don’t ask me why-LOL) so I immediately changed my name to FilipinoInsideOut and again (don’t ask me why) OK, OK maybe because I’m a Filipino Inside and Out!? Or should I say, I was born and raised in the Philippines?? LOL 😛

Anyway, to make this long story short I then wrote my very first post without even knowing that I will enjoy and continue writing and sharing different ideas up to present. Here’s my very first and official blog post Oh! How I Love Monday..😍 The moment I hit the “publish” button, it actually felt good. So, I then wrote my second, 3rd and so on. If you’re interested to know more on How Did I End Up Blogging click HERE

And that is the reason why I considered January 27, 2015 as my Blog Anniversary because it all started that day! ❤

Please allow me to quickly share my blog insights.

  • Zero views from 2008-2014.
  • I’ve shared 167 fun and not-so-fun posts from 2015 -2016.
  • A Huge Shout-Out to my top 5 viewers and of course to everyone from all over the world!
  • And surprisingly Thoughtful Wednesday! still has the Best Views Ever!

Furthermore,

After a couple of months of blogging, I’ve been contemplating of changing my name to something that suites best on what my posts are all about. However, I didn’t do it because “again” I never thought that I’ll continue blogging. Some of you have witnessed my journey and was with me from when I first started until this day and with that Thank you!

Now with all the grace and support that I received from everyone, and I know now what I’m passionate about, I am for sure considering of changing my account name. Something that’s been in my mind since forever but will still keep a part of FilipinoInsideOut. (stay tune for that)

Twelve months of blogging means twelve months of something!

I now have a clear vision of what I want and what I hope to achieve.

And after this long and boring story, I thought I’d share twelve (12) posts in twelve consecutive days (wish me luck!)… Nope! it’s definitely not 12 Days of Christmas! HAHA and hopefully I will be able to make this happen.

So what do you guys think? Am I just dreaming or you’ll agree with my Blog Anniversary date?

Thoughts???

Hello there!

It’s been awhile since I was approached by Betabrand to do a product Collab featuring their line. At first, I was very hesitant as I’m not sure if I can make justice to their brand. Secondly, I asked myself what’s in it for me?

So, what do you do when you have questions in mind that needs an answer? I then browsed their webpage, did a good number of clicks here and there. Read reviews and asked some friends. While browsing their site I was actually fascinated as to what they have come up with in their designs.

I don’t normally do posts like this but after a “deep thought”, I said to myself “Oh well” I have to do this. This needs to be shared and be seen.

What is Betabrand? Who is Betabrand?

Betabrand is an online clothing community, based in San Francisco. They design, manufacture, and release new products nonstop.

Brand-new ideas spring to life on their site every day. Their fans co-design and crowdfund them into existence in a matter of weeks. They design clothing for men, women and children as well! They also have shoesbags and accessories, name it and you’ll find it in this world of Betabrand. Isn’t that interesting?

MEN’S

WOMEN’S

COLLECTIONS

 When I think of Yoga Pants, I think of before-work, after-work, sneakers, yoga mat, tank tops, sweaters, “sweaTy” shirts and water bottles (haha- I don’t know why but yes! these are my thoughts when I hear the word “Yoga Pants“). But, Betabrand’s collection and designs are so much different from what my visions are. They have Yoga Pants that can be worn to work, work pants in the comfort of yoga pants and yoga pants that are actually wearable anytime and anywhere.

Here are some snaps that I myself would wear to work.

STRAIGHT-LEG | NAVY DRESS PANT YOGA PANTS

CROP | TAUPE DRESS PANT YOGA PANTS

BOOT-CUT | BLACK DRESS PANT YOGA PANTS

LEGGINGS | BLACK DRESS PANT YOGA PANTS

Here’s a quick look at their men’s section.

LAVA-LIZARD SMOKING JACKET

By looking at the photo you can see how cool this jacket is. It’s obviously reversible and can transition from Day to Night.

Another cool features that they have on their site is the Chat Support.  Guess what? they’re very prompt by the way. I didn’t have to wait forever to get attended and I was able to get an answers to my questions too.

What do I think of Betabrand? honestly, what they’ve come up with is such a great idea. They ask their customers what they want? they listen, they learn and they manufacture for everyone’s comfort. What stood out in my personal research into their entire collection is the Yoga Pants. I have quite a few yoga pants but I couldn’t wear either of them to work or look professional in them. But with their designs and customer reviews, they impressed me.

Now here comes the most important question. How much do they cost? I would say the price is decent. Not too cheap and not too expensive either. With the quality, the look, comfort and versatility of the design I believe it’s worth it.
