The summer heat is making my cravings intense! Check out some beauty finds I’ve been longing to have. And yes, these are not just wants, but also needs. lol

1. Brow Powder. Well-groomed brows have a huge impact on a person’s look. I always make sure my brows are defined and are well-groomed, though I’m in a hurry. I’ve been craving for a good brow powder for I love its effect than defining my brows with a brow pencil. Brow powders’ effect makes the color more natural than that of the brow pencils’. Featured in the photo is Laura Mercier’s brow powder. You can check out the link for more info. Want to have the best brows? Here’s something I wanna check out too.

2. Pink/Nude Lipstick. I am a fan of lipsticks! I’ve been wearing red for quite some time now, and pink, now I wanna go nude or light pink. I am falling for shades from the Viva Glam Gaga collection from MAC too. 

3. Dream Hair. Everyday of my life, I’ve been wanting to have my dream hair! I’ve seen a lot of what I call my “hair peg” but this one’s definitely the one! Oooh Kim, lemme have that hair *begs*. lol Wheeeeeen am I going to finally have my hair did?!

4. New make-up brushes. Life is waaay easier when you have the proper brushes on hand. You can do and make the exact looks you want in no time if you have these. I already have a set but I need a new one. Featured in the photo is the one from Shu Uemura. (How I wish I can afford this lol)

5. Contour/Highlight Palette. You never know what make-up can bring out once you have to proper tools and make-up. One of the must-haves is the contour/highlight palette. I never had one but I’ve seen the magic it does. In the photo is the one I wanted, even way back, from Coastal Scents.

These can make you enhance your outer beauty, sometimes bringing out what you never thought is there. But we should always remember, it’s still the inner beauty that would make us really beautiful. :)

The No-Make-Up-Week

My close friends, and family know that I can’t leave home without any makeup on. But then, as 2012 said hello, I had what we call the no-make-up-weeks (as you can see in my previous posts too). I feel so uninspired lately, yet, of course I still go to school properly groomed :p lol I feel like I have the need to buy new makeup, brushes and a home for my new babies.

I miss it though. But I know this’ll be a treat for my face.

Oh…and we had this face mask night which I enjoyed much with our Mom and Sissies. This was an add-on to my “let-my-pores-breathe” month. Lol

But yea time really comes that you wanna have something on and so I had this Pop palette I got from Mom Arlon for only 500. I used the black one for my upper lids. :D I prefer its effect to my eyes than the effect of my liquid eyeliner.

Btw, I’m using Avon liquid eyeliner. Well, coz it’s also affordable and easy to apply but it has a bit of shimmer, which I don’t like.

Maybe, I should try other brands too. Anyhoo, I’m really planning to buy new goodies, what can you suggest? :D
