Hub Pacheco and I have been friends since he shot me for Juan Of A Kinds’ campaign back in 2014. Since then we’ve shared lots of gastronomical adventures, stories and memories together… but never a photo shoot. Quite odd considering that the most time I ever spend with my photographer friends is when… we’re actually having a photo shoot. lol.
So for this trip, we finally decided to get it over with and finally do our own shoot- with wine and a soft box, nevertheless.
So here’s a quick vlog and BTS on how we went about with our quick session! Feel free to come back for the full set!
When I found out that our network’s Christmas party theme backdrop was black & white, I was ecstatic. Whether or not the theme dictated what color we were to wear, I was going to wear black anyways so the universe was technically doing me a favor.
I decided to go for something that was simple yet elegant, not to classy but not too dressed up either. I wanted to actually look like a fashion b/vlogger minus the Tessa Prieto- Valdez element, so I went for something I was familiar with- something long.
IMO, full length everythings are the way to go when you want to make a statement- full length skirts, dresses,TRENCH COATS (!!).. they’re all fabulous. They don’t necessarily need to be over the top especially when you down play the colors but they can definitely be regal, effortless and sophisticated. When if you’re looking for a quick outfit idea, go for something long. It works every time.
With such little effort put into this outfit, it was such an honor to still be recognized and nominated as one of the best dressed among our huge pool of 100++ Youtubers. Of course, I didn’t win but being nominated was already more than enough!
I hope you enjoyed my vlog and please subscribe to catch the other episodes of my Manila series.
Currently in Manila and on our way to ABS CBN’s multi- channel network Chicken, Pork, Adobo’s Christmas party. Yes, I am a kapamilya. *insert fireworks*
In lieu of this, we’ve been sent over here for a week to get to know one another, learn a few tips and tricks of the trade and of course, to have a really good December! So here’s to new adventures!
Enjoy this vlog of our first day here in Manila in all its glorious TRAFFIC.
Cebu has one more reason to jump for joy because the Extreme Aeropark Indoor Trampoline Park is now open in Cebu. Located at the 2nd floor of Parkmall, you can now enjoy countless hours of fun doing activities such as laser tag, wall climbing, dodge ball and a lot more!
Here are a few shots and a very short vlog entry I made for all my lovely readers:
I fairly enjoy make up but to be honest, when I started college I hated the fact that I was required to start wearing make up. Youtube wasn’t as big as it is now so I basically learned my make up preferences, techniques and skills from joining make up classes, gay classmates (I miss you all!) and my mom.
Now that the internet has gotten pretty huge, I wanted to do my fair share and give back to my wonderful young readers by sharing with your MY college make up routine. All the make up that I’m using the budget friendly and if you’re not the type to ask your mom to buy you make up, you can easily save up for these products.
I hope you enjoy this vlog and I do hope that you like, subscribe and follow me!
School is just around the corner and I’m sure a lot of my young readers are both eager and nervous at the same time. I know a lot of things are running through your heads right now and the last thing you want to worry about is what you are going to wear on the first day of school. I know what it’s like to be you so I’ve decided to come up with a few looks for you to try and replicate for at least the first 5 days of school. 😉
I also want to talk about the quality of my videos, my editing and this whole Youtube thing. I know my editing, backgrounds and what not aren’t the best right now and I’m trying reallyyy hard to learn how to edit on my own so if you have any suggestions and ideas, please let me know so I can apply them in my next video. Your opinion means a lot to me and I am always looking for ideas to make this blog better!
Lastly, for this video I also tried to wear brands and clothing that are affordable and school appropriate. Some of you might be ashamed to shop at department stores but that shame speaks more about you and the kind of person you are. No offense, but it’s the #truth. Although there are a few looks that are sleeveless, don’t hesitate to wear a jacket over it, if needed! Here are the brands that I have featured in this vlog:
Still really trying to learn how to make fashion vlogs so please bear with me. 😛 But this is definitely a big jump from my first “Rainy Day Looks” video! haha. Anyways, check out a few back to school look ideas that are perfect for colleges located in warmer places. If you’re from the Philippines and you have strict dress code rules, you can still use a lot of these ideas by just throwing on a nice sweater to match!
Yes, I AM blogging at 1:30 in the morning because the internet is fast and… I am sober on a Friday night so why the heck not?
Thought I would make this lengthy but informative vlog entry for everyone who has been asking me about my hair because i love you all and you deserve it.
This vlog entry mostly covers my hair transformation journey from bleaching to dyeing, what I do in order to manage it now, where I bought my hair products (for those who are in Cebu) and your other hair related questions!
Please give me lots of love on Youtube by subscribing, liking and sharing my vlog to all your friends.
Working on a bunch of new content for everyone to enjoy.
I’m no beauty expert but I know what works on my skin and I am ecstatic to show you guys one product that I am 100% invested in right now- Meiko Cosmetics Naturactor Cover Face Concealer!
So just to go through it quickly for those who do not have time to watch the video, here are my pros and cons of this product.
PROS:
It’s lightweight
You don’t need to put a lot of your face which means, this tiny container will last you a really long time
It has great coverage
It affordable (P550.00- P650.00) at Let’s Stylize
It’s made from safe ingredients
CONS:
DEBATABLE: The smell. It doesn’t really bother me though some have described it as having a granny-like smell. Whatever that means.
Naturactors come in 5 shades and I am currently using the 151. By the looks of it, you would think that since I am on the fair side that I would be a 141 but it’s pink undertones don’t quite fit my skin tone. I actually do have the 141 and the 151 and you can see the swatches and difference in the video.
I would definitely recommend this product for women who have uneven skin tones and can’t seem to find a concealer that they’re truly happy with. I find that this product is very good and you don’t need to use a lot of it to get the coverage that you want. I’d say that make up wise, that’s definitely been my struggle over the years especially during really warm weathers… but not anymore. 🙂
For your own Naturactors, feel free to get in touch with Let’s Stylize!
