40 Beauty Questions Tag! (Skincare and Makeup) with Video



I was tagged by rhaze zigz, a fellow YouTube Makeup Vlogger, to do this "40 Beauty Questions Tag" with Skin care and Make-up related hurrahs, experiences and do-you-knows. Being so giddy and enticed with the word "tag" (which I am quite hooked to), filming and editing this video brought good vibes to my stressful soul and tired body. 

Please do watch this video on HD, because at some point YouTube is washing out the real quality of the video. Also, I just want to let you know that you will be able to know me more once you click the play button. There's heart and soul in it, girl. :-)


If you want to do this tag, feel free to do so. I am tagging you!! :-) 
Please leave it as a video response on my video, mkay? I wanna know more about you. ♥

Back to School June 2013 (Makeup Tutorial + Hair)

Do you know how I feel while I am typing this post? I am being so giddy and excited since this would be my last year as a student. Yes, I am already fourth year college this coming school year. Who would not be overjoyed with that? Right?

School is just like life, it is a box full of surprises. You aren't aware of what will happen or you should expect the unexpected and the next thing you know, is either you passed or failed, enjoyed or stressed out, laughed your lungs out or cried a river and many more. My everyday life in school is like an adventure - being aware that I am not into active students activities and preferred to be quiet and be with my close friends - I seriously do not expect that I would be able to accomplish stuffs like Flair tending  vigorous Physical Education Classes and leading like cray. School is not only made to learn ABC and 123s, but it molds you to become competitive and show the world what you got. It is your training ground to the real corporate world. Just keep in mind that School is COOL, even it is not. *Kidd. But seriously, do everything you can; compete, have fun and go with the flow or better yet, do it my way - Do it NOW!! Remember: YOLO (You Only Live Once)

With my last year in college, I made a YouTube video of a Back-to-School Makeup Look that would show your natural glow, making your face refreshed and ready to face different school hurrahs. I am a type of girl who is, really, a makeup savvy. But on this tutorial, I showed how to put minimal makeup that would make you shine the brightest and somehow a ++ on your self-esteem.

Fab Beau Lusst: "Branded Makeups affordable to all" ♥

February 06, 2013 is either a normal, boring or fun-filled day to someone.. 
But for me, I consider it as "Genesis" or "The Beginning"

I was, at that time, working on with my votes or likes to win a contest in Facebook. The prize at stake was a very pretty makeup palette which was really a dream of mine to have, hold and own. So I decided to push my ass and sent private messages to all of my friends to like my comment and blah blah. It was never in my mind that someone will browse my videos, think of the things that I really need and tell me that she might sponsor my videos. I felt like angels are blowing their trumpets on my ears and the cold breeze from heaven filled my room. Isn't she the sweetest? Well tell me! I know everyone would agree ;)

I think, this is turning to be a Thank-You-Like-Yeah-Sorta-Blog-Post, but who cares? I just want to brag and tell the world how lucky I am to have her ;) Just so you know, she will become a huge part of my growing YouTube career and my future make-up gigs! I think every single time I will be using those things she gave me, I will be having a huge smile on my face while reliving that very moment she came and offered some love to my career. ♥

Oh, by the way. I won the giveaway. I got the make-up palette I really want plus the cool thing was.. she asked me to pick a brush of my choice. I felt like dying from extreme happiness while chatting with her. I told ya, she's the kindest and sweetest girl you'll ever meet. (Plus, she's really pretty!) 

If you want to check her very affordable products, just click the heart  :) I bet you, too, will love and drool over her items. PS: I am not kidding. 



A never ending THANK YOU for these babies, Sis! ♥ I love everything. I can't stop looking at them and  You really are the best. I promise that I'll do good on my YouTube career as a gift for you and your kindness. See you again, Okay? We'll chill, laugh and share maldita chikas again. Haha! :))

Get ready with me: Everyday Make-up Look (with video)

Hey thereeee! ;)

I recently uploaded my first Get Ready With Me video featuring my Everyday Make-Up Look ♥ If you wanna watch the video version of it, just click on the thumbnail or link below:


Step by Step:

Pond's White Beauty Day Cream
- I apply the cream before doing my make-up :)

Maybelline Clear Smooth Extra (Honey) + ELF Flat Top Powder Brush
- I set the cream with this foundation. No more liquid foundation for everyday make-up.
Less greasiness and easy to retouch! *Agree? :)

Marrionaud Eyebrow Brush and Eyelash Comb
- Just brushing those hairs in place to keep them looking neat and clean.

Alobon Liquid Pen Eyeliner
- Lining and winging it out a little bit to open up my eyes.

Daiso Long Lash Mascara 
- I need longer lashes, baby. :)

Q-tip/ Cotton buds
- Cleaning out some messed out eyeliner and mascara lines.

Avon Ultra Moisture Lipstick in Lava Love
- Simple eye make-up matched with super red lipstick makes a look oh-so-purr-fect :)

Careline Blush- On in Starlight Shine
- Putting some color on the apples of my cheeks and just blending it out.

Afficionado F68 Fantasy by Britney Spears
- Spraying a bit of this sweet, girly scent ;) This is my favorite perfume. (Just an FYI) :)

Lastly, SMILE ♥
You never know how many people fell in love with it.

So, yeah. That's it for my Everyday make-up look. I hope you'd check out my other videos and subscribe to my youtube channel. Hihi. Again, Thank you for dropping by ;)


December 31, 2012: A year-ender ♥

Here we go again, we're gonna face a new year in just a few hours. When the clock strikes 12, let's go jump and wash away all the hatred, regrets and bad memories we had last 2012 and add new good things and great memories to be cherished forever. Yes?

2012 was an awzm year for me. Why?

  • Award for Academic Excellence (Dean's lister) - Yeah, I got my first award from being a Dean's lister, which was supposed to be the second but I was not informed about the process last year. So yeah, I went on the stage with my Mum as my sister took some picture of us. It was indeed a very memorable day for me, because that moment, I felt like all my efforts were recognized. :)
  • YouTube Partner - YES, I am a YouTube Partner ♥ At first, all I wanna do is make some videos and share it to the public or other makeup enthusiasts out there and a part of it was becoming a YouTube Partner. Although I am not rushing things, God forbid me to have it and granted my wish. From 2013 and onwards, I will be active on YouTube no matter what. Yeah, so if you have time, do check out my channel. http://www.youtube.com/heystarapol I hope you'd subscribe and show some love.
  • Advent Candle Sponsor - I was very honored to lit up an advent candle on our church during the first Misa de Gallo. It was a very delightful and memorable day for me. It's like a way of thanking God for the blessings he had bestowed upon us. 
  • Survived Bar Midterm & Finals - If you don't know about it yet, you can find my posts here:
  • More time with my Baby! :) I got to spent time with my boyfriend more often this year. Okay, kinikilig ako. It's just that, I got very very very good vibes when I am with him. I am one lucky girl to have him in my life. Oh and by the way, we spent our December 31 again at Batangas. :) ♥
  • The best thing is: My family is still united no matter what the situation is. One love!♥
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
May God bless us more this coming year ♥ :)
