First Look at the Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette

It's been a long time since I blogged and because it's our Christmas vacation, well, I have time to write! :) 

Anyways, it's technically my second day here in Malaysia. I rode the plane last Monday from Manila going to KL at around 9 pm and our flight got delayed. I arrived here at around 1am and settled down at home at 3am. Yesterday, Gino went to KLCC to buy me some stuff and when he went home, he bought me my Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette. I'm so ecstatic and I've been waiting to try this one. 

So he bought it from Sephora at Suria. This is the bag.

Inside the bag is the palette. It also came with a free Sephora card.

Okay, this card, you can use it at any sephora branches in Singapore and in Malaysia. 1 SG = 1 point and 5 RM = 3 points. You have to accumulate 250 points to get a 10% on your next purchase.

So here it is! The coveted Urban Decay Naked Palette 3. 

Inside the box is the UD Naked 3 and a sample booklet of the Urban Decay primers.

The four primers are original primer, sin, Eden and the anti-aging primer. It says in the book that it can last for a week. 

So that's it for now. I will show you the swatches in my next blog post. 

Wedding Preps, Christmas, almost but not quite

I've been super busy with work. I missed blogging. Saw my last entry and it was dated last May. I've been juggling with work and with our wedding preparations. Gino is now in Malaysia. He's been there since October. I've been dealing with twice the amount of stress ever since he went there. I've been doing progress with my wedding preparations. Almost there but still not quite. We still lack some suppliers. Anyway, I was bored yesterday and I decided to look for a card for my bridesmaids. I found a template online and I printed it. It goes with our summer theme and it fits perfectly 😄

I also found some guest cards to match with our summer inspired theme. 

Movie Review: The Great Gatsby

Title: The Great Gatsby
Cast: Leonardo Di Caprio (Jay Gatsby), Tobey Maguire (Nick Carraway), Carey Mulligan (Daisy Buchanan), Joel Edgerton (Tom Buchanan), Elizabeth Debicki (Jordan Baker), Isla Fisher (Myrtle Wilson)
Genre: Drama Romance

The movie revolves around the story of Nick Carraway, a yale graduate who rents a house in Long Island where he resides near the mansion of the mysterious Jay Gatsby.  He visited his cousin Daisy who is married to Tom Buchanan. He then meets Daisy's friend Jordan Baker. Jordan asks about Nick about his stay in Long Island and they discover that Nick and Jay Gatsby are neighbors. One day, the mysterious Jay Gatsby invited Nick Carraway to his party and then the story begins.

The movie is very true to the story. If you've read the book, you will not be disappointed because it sticks very much to the book. Baz Luhrmann made a very astonishing movie. Very pleasing to the eye and it incorporates the whimsical effect that Baz Luhrmann gives to his audience. A little bit disappointed on the part where Nick and Jordan's love story evolved because it was not explained in the movie. The whole focus of the film was about Daisy, Jay, and Tom.

Overall, it is a must-see film. It makes you love the Jazz age and the flappers. I would give it a 4.5 out 5 stars.

Movie Review: Side Effects

Title: Side Effects
Cast: Rooney Mara, Channing Tatum, Jude Law, Catherine Zeta-Jones
Genre: Horror, Thriller, Crime



***Disclaimer***

This entry might have a lot of spoilers so I must warn you.

Since it's summer vacation, I have nothing to do but watch and watch a lot of movies and shows and I stumbled upon this movie called Side Effects. I'm not the type of person to watch horror flicks because I'm a scared-y cat but I saw that Channing Tatum was one of the lead in this movie...hence, I gave it a shot.


The movie is about a woman called Em (Rooney Mara) who is married to Martin (Channing Tatum) who has been in prison for about 4 years. The time came that Martin is about to leave the prison and live a normal life with his wife. Then one day, Emily decided to ride the car and crash the car onto a wall. She was then sent to the hospital for minor injuries. With that, the doctor on call, Dr. Jonathan Banks (Jude Law) talks to her if she was suicidal or if she was thinking of committing suicide. Emily said she was fine and then she said she needed to get out of the hospital because she needed to work. The condition for Dr. Banks to release her was for her (Emily) to take therapy sessions with Dr. Banks outside the hospital. When they met outside the hospital they had therapy and Dr. Banks gave her prescription medicines.

To cut the story short, Dr. Banks prescribed Emily some medicines that caused her abnormal behavior thus putting Dr. Banks' career in jeopardy thus came the title Side Effects.

The movie for me is a good movie. It's a crime thriller and the story evolves. It has a lot of twists and you'll never guess some of the plot or the motive of each character.

Overall, I think this is a fun movie and I would give it a 4 out of 5 stars.

Food trip Wednesday

So today is actually a coding day for Gino's car. Apparently, the summer heat made everything worse today because I ate a lot. Even if we didn't have any car we went to different places and ate a whole bunch.

The best was when we ate at Chicken Charlie. We went to Greenfield District branch.

Bulalo Kind of Day

Yesterday, the weather was gloomy and it was raining all day...I was craving Bulalo and Gino had work so I had to wait until 3pm for him to finish. And then at 4, we decided to go on a trip to the land of Bulalo - Tagaytay!

We ended up eating at Leslie's. I was so full yesterday...we order Bulalo, Pork Sisig and Cheese and Corn sizzling plate. Happy Tummy, Happy Couple :)

Movie Review: Jack the Giant Slayer

Gino and I decided to watch yesterday. We went to Rockwell to watch a movie. We weren't quite decided if it'll be Jack or Silver Lining Playbook but bottom line, we ended up watching Jack.

Overall, it's a nice adaptation of Jack and the beanstalk. It's great for kids because it's not the intense gore and action kind of movie but you get the essence of it. It's also the kind that adults will not get bored of. I thought I'll be bored but I watched the whole film without yawning.
