Female Davao Bloggers Bonded in TLCShop

To account, this is my first time to join and even learned of a bloggers' event exclusively for ladies. It was a kikay-bonding with beautiful bloggers -- Alma, Kathy, Joyce, Leah and the organizers - Brendel and Ria. We visited Davao TLCShop who is also beautifully owned by Joeanne.


The excitement grew deeper as each day of waiting passes. You'd even feel more the essence of waiting when you get in to the thrill of finding Jo's TLCShop...hehhee.. till now I couldn't figure where it really is.

We really had fun. Evidence to that? Oh well, we lasted from 7pm to 11pm -- is that enough? If not, hey how about you take a look of what we've got that night. ;)

can't get enough of this powder's fragrance... hhhhhhhmmmmm....

it's all about freebies...

Alma applying the BB cream...

the group hug w/out Leah since she's the photographer...

I'd really like to thank Alma for informing me about this event, Jo for welcoming us to your shop, Ria and Brendel for organizing, Leah for the photos and the rest of female bloggers who graced the said event. Hope to see you again girls, very soon! =)

First Make Up Tutorial With Kathy

As mentioned in my previous post -- The Birth of Aphrodite In The Making, I was really challenged on how to put make up by myself. I started to panic on what are the steps, what are needed and etc. And thanks a lot to my dear friend Kathy who came into rescue.

Our tutorial session took place in Chicco De Cafe - her bf having some smoothie while watching us doing a so-so girly thing. LOL!

Meet the tutor...

and the student... heheheh =)

Kathy taught me how to apply powder, lipstick, lip gloss, up down - left right motion with a smiling face in putting a blush on.

What was really funny is that I already bought myself twice a Simply Pretty Dual Powder Foundation.

But it was only that day I learned its true and proper use. Oh well, I just simply use it as a face powder and appreciated the fact it has separate compartment for the sponge without knowing it is there for a purpose. LOL!

Okay for the benefit of those who doesn't know just like me, it is actually a powder if you applied directly with the dry sponge. Once you applied the powder with reasonable wetness on the sponge, it gives you same coverage like a foundation. And the separate compartment for sponge with holes in it, are created in purpose to provide air passage needed in drying out the wet sponge and avoiding unfavorable odor. Kathy also shared to me few of her tested and most trusted brands especially for blush ons and lipstick.

Now I got 1 light shade of In2It blush on, lipstick, Avon quad earth eyeshadows , Super Curlacious mascara and Nivea lip balm. See my starter stuff below. ;)
