It has been more than a week since my last post. As how the usual goes, this kind of unexpected hiatus was brought by hectic schedule. Worry not as I made sure that I took pictures and tried products (makeup and skincare) while I was out and working the hell out of me. If I'll have more time, to sit down in front of my laptop to draft a blog post and not work,…

Read moreIf, and only if, I could have an extra 10 minutes to do my makeup every morning, I would be wearing eyeshadow every single day. I love how some mixing and blending of colors on the eye can easily change my entire look. But that is not my story goes. In reality, I don't have an extra 10 minutes or if ever I do, I would rather add it up to my sleeping hours. But h…
Read moreDo you know that highlighting is as essential as contouring? With its light-reflective pigments, highlighters accentuate features, mimic a youthful and healthy glow, and add life to a look. It makes the best features of the face pop in a swipe. I never thought I would need more highlighters since I am pretty satisfied with the works of those that I currently …
Read moreJust recently, one of my friend asked me why I don't have pimples. I didn't know what to say so I answered, "I eat and drink skincare products!" Of course that was a joke. I don't eat and drink skincare products. But I am so serious with skincare that if eating and drinking skincare products would make my skin look perfect in an instant, I woul…
Read moreI just realized that I haven't done any favorites posts in the past wherein I talk about the products and things that made to my hit list for the month. With my work taking too much of my time, not all products that I get to try and use make it here on MakeUpLove. Not because those products are not worth sharing but because I don't have time to take and ed…
Read moreWhen I was on my way home last night, I was silently mapping out the things I would do when my feet reach our doorsteps. Print teaching materials, draft posts, edit pictures and make visual aids were just some of it. Most of tasks I need to do by this day involves the use of my laptop. It was well-organized in mind but a horrifying thing happened. When I was all rea…
Read moreI am deeply saddened by the fact that I have tons of backlogs. As much as I want to slowly give them attention, workload and academic load always take a lot of time. I need a better system. Something that would keep up on all the things I need and want to do. Priorities should be set, and there are things that need to temporarily take the back seat because more im…

Read moreAs I was savoring every minute of the 3-week vacation from work (one of the perks of being a teacher) , I made sure to have my much-needed me-time at least twice a week. One of the things I did was to put on a facial mask while relaxing. Oh yeah, those times are the bomb! Anyway, one of the facial masks I used is The Face Shop Collagen Essential Mask Sheet given …
Read moreHappiest Monday, everyone! This is the first work Monday of the year! As I type this post, I am alone in our house as all of them left for work or errands. In my case, my work will start on Wednesday which means I still have two days to enjoy the holidays. Speaking of holidays, Avon released a holiday edition of the popular and well-loved Ultra Color Rich Lips…
Read moreHappy new year! I wish for a blessed and prosperous 2014 for all of us! 2013 was generally hard on me. Deaths, illnesses, hospitalizations, disappointments, and a whole lot of negative vibes summarize my past year's story. But alongside those heartbreaks were the things and people I am blessed with. It would be lengthy to go into details but I want you to k…
Read moreMerry Christmas! I wish everyone a happy life! :) A few days ago, as I tried to do some holiday ritual of cleaning up my cabinet, I noticed I have a lot of unopened and unused products, especially eyeliners. I will give time to try each one of those but for now, let me share with you my thoughts on my favorite pencil eye liner as of the moment -- the Makeup Facto…
