How I Organize My Makeup

Okay, So I am super late in updating this blog. But I have been very busy the past weeks or months, So I can't really write anything. I actually just squeezed in some videos for my Youtube Channel.

I recently decided to organize my makeup area in our small house and it was actually a fun task and I got the chance to film everything. So just to give you an idea of how much makeup I own before, here's a photo.

Yeah. That's everything... Not much to look at and some are just cheap ones. Not even drugstore brand. But I have Maybeline, Nivea, Avon and ever bilena. 

So in this video, You will see how much my makeup collection have grown and how I will organize them using things that can be easily found at department stores, office supply stores and things I found around my house.

I uploaded this video like a month ago and as of now, I have added a few more products to my collection with a huge help from my mom who buys me a lot of great stuff which I am greatly thankful about.

DIY: Old Lady Dress to Cute Sun Dress

I love thrifting and I love reconstructing and/or refashioning something. I saw a dress in the mall and I instantly fell in love with it when I tried it on. I really wanted to get the dress, But unfortunately I already bought a lot of stuff and I might hurt the hubby's pocket if I buy another one. 

And then..... I saw this old lady dress on a local Thrift Shop and I thought I could make it into the dress I want. Just like the one I saw in the mall. So I immediately got the dress and went back home and searched for a pattern on google and pinterest. But, I didn't find one. :( 

So, I decided to just kind of eyeball it and just use logic to recreate the dress, And here is what I came up with.

I laid the dress flat on the floor and measure the length I want from under my chest all the way down below my knee, Because that's how long I want my dress to be. Then I cut straight.

I cut off the sleeves. The sleeves will be the upper front part of my dress. 

I located the middle part of the dress and marked it and laid the 2 pieces of sleeves that I cut earlier. Step 1 to step 2 in this picture is basically finding the outside and the inside of the fabric and laying the pieces facing them in the right position and sewing from the inside and not the outside. Did that make sense????? Whatever. This is a no brainer if you've sewn for a while. 

Now the picture above shows how it will look like after the last step has been done. :) 

And this is the closer look. Obviously the hem and excess fabric is inside. Now I'm done with the front part. 

Now the back part. So I cut a piece of fabric on the back part just like in the photo, I will attach this to the upper back part of the dress and also is going to be attached into the sides of the front part. The thing is, I forgot to take a photo of the process, So forgive me. I will just explain what I did. :P

After all that, I sew a garter measuring the circumference of my lower chest and attached onto the part where the upper and lower piece of the dress meets.

And then On the remaining fabric, I cut 2 strips of fabrics measuring 16x2.5 inches and folded it, sew it and attached it to the dress. I just added a big belt to accessorize.

DIY Beaded Pearly Necklace

I made a kind of collar necklace out of black round beads and some faux pearls from an old bracelet. I really wanted to have a collar necklace because I realize I don't have a lot of accessories to go with my outfits. I was really happy with the finished product and I really wanted to share it here on my blog.

So here it is. I filmed how I did the necklace so that if you want to make this kind of necklace too, You will know how.

Here's my video tutorial of this necklace. Please watch and if you have a Youtube account, Please LIKE this video, COMMENT and SUBSCRIBE to my channel

Review: Avon Super Shock Max Mascara

Hey everyone, So I did a review about my current favorite mascara. It's from Avon and I am super loving it, That's why I did a kind of rave review about it on my Youtube Channel.

If you want to know more about this mascara and how I feel and my opinion about it. Then just watch my review and try this mascara out if you haven't yet.

Got mah free samples from Sample Room

So I received my sample room package last Tuesday which was a big surprise because I only ordered them on Monday and I got the package the very next day. I seriously thought it would take like 4 days or a week to be shipped to me. So I was really happy about that and that was a little positive review for sample room. lol. They ship your items really fast.

So I got the package in this kind of aqua blue plastic packaging from Xend(local courier in the Philippines).

 Inside is the brown bag that has the logo of Sample Room on it and at the back is a cute little sticker again with the logo of Sample Room but in pink and it is used to seal the bag. But I really like the sticker, I wish they would also include like a free sticker of sample room that's not yet used. lol

 Contained in the brown bag was these 3 Moringa-02 products which are soap, lotion and toner. All for the purpose of skin care.

These are all in full sizes and sealed so they're really brand new.  I also checked the expiration date and it's good to use until 2015. I just checked it to make sure. No harm done, right!? I also checked the smell of each and they all smell exactly the same which is like citrusy minty scent. Absolutely no trace of malunggay scent so they're good to go.

Thanks for these FREE samples Sampleroom. I've tried these products out for a couple days and I am so excited to give my thoughts and experiences with these products and I can't wait to purchase some new samples from sampleroom. But I really hope they would offer more cosmetic stuff so that I can review it also on my Youtube Beauty Channel.

Ordered Free Samples

YAY for me. I just ordered some free skin care/body care products on Sample Room.

In case you don't know what sample room is, It is a website where you can order some free samples for skin care, hair care, body care, fragrance, cosmetics, health and fitness. They give their member free sample that you can buy using the points you earn from their site. And the best thing about this website is..... Most of the time, the samples they are giving away is in full size which is awesome. They are absolutely free. The only thing you have to pay for is the shipping fee which is P100 for Metro Manila area and P130 f you're residing outside of Metro Manila like me.

Now let me talk about how I ordered the products a few hours ago. I got free 100 points upon registration to their website and that's what I used to purchase the products. I have not received the products yet and the status of my order is still in pending mode. But don't get me wrong, I already paid for the shipping fee using my Paypal. I read on their FAQs page that I have to wait like 3-4 working days upon approval of my order before I receive my products. I am just too excited about this so I really had to talk about it.

The products that I purchased are:
Moringa-02 Malunggay Herbal Moisturizing Lotion 125ml full size - This is P129.75 in the market
Moringa-02 Malunggay Herbal Facial Toner 100ml full size - This is P89.75 in the market
Moringa-02 Malunggay Herbal Soap 60g - This is P49.75 in the market

Again, I got all of this for free. Well I don't really have them yet but I'm sure I will soon. The only thing I paid for was the shipping fee using my paypal balance. There are a lot of other payment methods you can use like, bank deposits(BDO/BPI), Gcash, Smartmoney etc.

I read the reviews for these products and I was very impressed with all the positive feedback. I am guessing like 98% of the people who have purchased these products on sample room said that they will buy this product again. I hope I will love the products too.

I will wait for the products to arrive and I will try if it works for me as well and then I will do a review here on my blog also about my experiences with the products and with sample room.

If you are interested to be a part of sample rooms growing community, Leave your email address on the comment section. Thanks and have a great day everyone. ^_^

BUsy Busy Busy

Oh my gosh. I feel like I have not been able to blog for ages. I was just too busy with editing videos and preparing my little boy for school again and also my hubby for work. I used up all my free time to film and edit videos for my Youtube channel.

Anywayzzzzzzzz. I just want to update my blog today. Here are my videos that has been taking up all my time. I just edited and uploaded a few new videos on my channel and almost all of it are about skincare and makeup.


In this video, I did a makeup tutorial using silver and black eyeshadow and very light face and lip makeup.
I just called this my "Silver Smokey Makeup Tutorial | berrypink23".....
If you would like to learn how to recreate this makeup look, Please watch this video. :)

Now I was tagged my BlendBlush, One of the Filipina Beauty guru's that I am following. The tag is called the
                                                             "40 Beauty Questions Tag"

I also made a new "HAUL" video because I went to some stores and bought some beauty and skincare products for myself. This is for the whole month of may and then on the first week of june. Watch this :)

And the last video that I made was my current "Foundation Routine" and also a quick mini haul is included in the Video because again, I bought some stuff and it was after I did the haul video so I didn't get the chance to include the new stuff I got on my last haul.

So that s all the videos I've uploaded since I last posted a blog. I know, there's not a lot of videos but It takes a lot of time to film and edit these even though you will just watch it for a few minutes. Well I still hope you enjoy these videos and maybe learn something from them.
