Here's the last post for 8 Days till Christmas though I only managed to post 7. But here's another look that's very easy to do and time-friendly! This is suitable for Christmas Eve! Without further a do, let's get started!

PRODUCTS USED:

• Avon Naturals 3 in 1 Rose Hydro Spray
• Loreal True Match Concealer in Fair
• Avon Ideal Oil Control Pressed Powder in Medium
• Avon True Color Dual Ended Brow Pencil in Dark Brown
• Estee Lauder Pure Color Sculpting Eyeshadow 7's
• Simply Pretty by Avon Waterproof Mascara in Black
• Maybelline New York Baby Lips in Anti-Oxidant Berry
• Loreal Colour Riche in Eva's Red

To start off, I used a hydro spray to prep up my skin. Leave that for a minute or two and apply concealer to my under eyes and also to some visible spots.
I then proceed on filling my brows and apply powder all over my face. Then I do the eyes.
I take 02 Ivory Power 3 and put it all over my lids. Then taking 02 Ivory Power 4 and sort of creating a winged eyeliner but not a full one. Just onto the outer corners. See that black shadow at my picture below? That's what I'm taking about. Then to give a little depth. I take 08 Infamous Sky and slightly putting it onto the outer corner of my eye. It's meant to give that little smokey effect.
Taking a Q-Tip, I used 10 Envious Orchid 5 and place to my lower lash line and apply mascara to complete the eye look.
Topping it all off with red lipstick can help it more put together. So a red lipstick is really a must in our makeup kit.

We all have that one (or more) friend who we can't buy something for them that fits their style. I got 2 super quick diys that might help you through this obstacle! You can find most of the items at your home without spending a penny! So let's start!

So the first one is this oddly satisfying glitter jar.

YOU WILL NEED:

• A mini plastic/glass jar with lid (preferably plastic)
• Glitter
• Water
• Hot Glue
• Beads (optional)

You basically put the water onto the jar then the beads & glitter. Secure the lid with hot glue and tada!!!! It's done!


The next one is a bit messy but the outcome is nice!

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

• Medium Sized Rocks
• Nail Polishes 
• Toothbrush

Paint the whole rock with black and start add some colors like white, blue, red, green and blend well to create a galaxy effect. If you're happy with the base, simply get an old toothbrush and put some white polish and start splaterring it.

It's so hard not to get festive during this time of the year. In this blogpost, I'm showing you a quick and easy that you can rock up until January.

PRODUCTS USED:

• Pond's White Beauty for Acne Prone Skin: Pinkish White Glow
• Ideal Oil Control Pressed Powder by AVON in Medium
• Loreal True Match Concealer in Fair/Light
• Simply Pretty by Avon Shimmer Blush Stick in Peachy Glow
• Colour Riche Eyeshadow Quad by Loreal in 841 Because I'm worth it!
• True Color Dual Ended Brow Pencil by Avon in Dark Brown
• Hypnose Volumizing Mascara by Lancome in black
• Maybelline New York Baby Lips in Anti-Oxidant Berry
• Saemmul Water Candy Tint in Cherry
• Loreal Colour Riche Lipstick in Eva's Red

With a bare face, apply a non-oily daily cream to look matte all day. I am not a fan of full-coverage makeup so I always skip foundation and start with concealer.
I then fill in my brows and add a little color to my cheeks. and setting the base with powder.
Moving to the eyes, I start by putting no3 (from the quad) all over my lids. and I put no.1 on the outer corners of my eyes to create shadows.
To blend all the colors together, I used no.2 and apply it on the outer corner but not that much, just to blend those colors together.
Lastly for the eyes, I put no.4 to the inner corner to look more awake than before.

I then apply mascara.
Before putting something on the lips, I make sure to apply lip balm first especially this time of the year, our lips get cracked really easily.
I put a liptint on my lips concentrating to the inner corner of my lips.
To the outer corner, I add a little bit of red lipstick (the one that I used was sadly discontinued :( but you can find similar shades!) and blend it well.

I live in the Philippines and we're all aware Philippines is a tropical country but last week, the weather was so chilly because there was a storm. So here are my essentials for this time of the year!


Here's the first piece: It's a puffer by Catalina. It's my mom's but I have been stealing it from her. The design is my aesthetic, the fit, the cut, everything! I love how bulky it looks but it's really comfy to use it. It doesn't have any hood which I personally like because I always carry a cap. Oh, it does have side pockets which I'm super thankful for. My hands get so cold easily and having side pockets really helps to make me feel warm.




A gray cropped sweater from Forever 21 and Olive green pants from H&M is something I'll go for if the weather is freaking chilly. You can actually find similar pieces to any clothing store because it's that time of the year!


Aside from those clothing pieces. This is the most worn out one. Pair of socks from Puma is something I really need during the cold season. I don't know what variety this pair of socks but they are sooooooooooo comfy and breathable! Perfect for going out, strolling in the city or just in the house!


You can't go wrong with funny headbands! These are the dog ones and I did a make-up tutorial inspired by this fella! If you wanna check it out, click me :> .
 You can't go wrong with stackable rings! I got it from Forever 21 awhile back and it is still working fine! I always like dainty jewelry during the holidays.


Skullcandy has this wireless earbuds and I have been using it since midyear! You don't have to worry about wires because you only need to turn on your bluetooth and your good to go!
Red lipstick is everyone's fav. especially during the holidays. This one from L'Oreal has been featured in my blog countless times.


And Lastly, a Hand Cream! This one is Re-Nutriv one from Estee Lauder and this is by far the best hand cream I've tried. I will highly appreciate if someone buys me a full size of this puppy :D

It's that time of the year where we get anxious on what to give to our family and friends. Here's my gift guide for this year and hopefully, it will calm you down. Oh, by the way you can get these items for under 400php! Isn't that great to hear? Alryt! let's start!


Starting off with a good read. Tho I don't have a photo showing you the book because I accidentally deleted it :(, but it's Morgan Matson's Since You've Been Gone is the perfect gift for your bestfriend, or to someone who tries to develop their reading skills. (359php - NBS)

Here's an inexpensive weekly planner with a very cute design! It's the perfect gift for someone who doesn't not know how manage their time or week well, pair it with some metallic gel pens and let him/her start 2018 in an organized way! (Planner: 85php - Shoppe ; Metallic Gel Pens, Dong-A: 29.75 each, Expressions)


For the artsy ones, I've got a variety of gift ideas for you :D, First off a kraft notebook with blank white pages inside is to die for. I recently got mine and I use it as a sketchbook. But knowing it has blank pages, it can also be ideal for journaling, diary, scrapbooking, and many more to unleash your inner Da Vinci self. Also, if the person is a Pisces, why not give him/her a print? Here's my artwork in print form! You can order one at my shop, -> @artbynadyah.shop (Shameless plug whtevr haha). Faber-Castell's CCP is also a great piece to give to someone who is into arts. It's kind of expensive to some students *no exception* so I thought this might be a great gift to have because personally, I am not into CPs, but I will love to get one for free! (Plain Notebook: 70php - Shoppe; Pisces Print: 50php - @artbynadyah.shop ;FC-CCP 12s: 135php - People's)


This Watercolor Starter Set is the best gift to someone who is interested onto watercolor art. It's pretty inexpensive and there won't be a lot of money will go to waste if ever he/she doesn't like how the medium works. I am mainly into Watercolor Arts and it's my first 'Quality' watercolor in tubes. I don't suggest buying Reeves or Sakura or any other brands that are quiet expensive if you're still a beginner. But if you don't like Watercolor Tubes, then Simbalion Watercolor Cakes is on the other path. This one in particular is the 36s one and I can say I can get a good use out of it. Many people also use this watercolor and it has been raved ever since. You can get Simbalion Watercolor through over the counter or online. (Watercolor Starter Set: 244php - NBS ; Simbalion Watercolor Cakes, 36s - 224.75php - SM Supplies)


Enough with Arts and Crafts! Let's get started with skincare! I've got two products from AVON and these are the products I would like to receive from them, it's the naturals 3 in 1 Hydro Spray which has been featured numerous times here in my blog, and 2 in 1 Milk and Chocolate Mask. (3in1 Hydro Spray - 149 *not sure tho* ; Mask - 250 reg. price, 149 sale price All from AVON)


Who wouldn't like to receive the famous Aloe Vera Gel that can be use in a variety of ways? You will probably see this fella if I post my updated  skin care routine, so be prepared! (Aloe Gel: 200php - TheFaceShop)


Here are some bits and bobs from Bench! So In Love deo body spray is everyone's fav scent. (no hate), A lil Clay Doh won't hurt either right? and to make everything look polished, include these cleanwipes! (So In Love body spray - 120php ; Clay Doh *mini* - 50php ; Clean Wipes - 27php All from Bench/)


Here are some knick knacks you might give to your friends or family that you are not that close, you can give them some Button Pins with their idol's faces like these ones *hey exo-l :>* or you can also a christmas card like this one that is available at my shop, also got a cactus print which is also a great idea to give to someone who is a cactus lover. (Pins - depends on the store ; Prints & Cards -> @artbynadyah.shop)

I know it's been awhile but hello again friends! I celebrated my 16th birthday not too long ago and got some new art stuff :> I thought I should create a blogpost about it just like what I did on the other one, keep in mind that some of the stuff were brought with my own money and some of them were given to my from my friends and family. So with that being said, here's some of my new supplies!

I got these Pastel Colored Envelopes in green, yellow, and blue @ 7php each. I use it to store some of my artworks that is already finished and some of my papers.

Envelopes - 7php each ; Gaisano Tisa

Got 2 packs of Vellum Board because it's the cheapest paper I could find that can handle watercolor well. Plus, the surface is very soft!

Vellum Board - 22.77 for a pack (10s) ; National Book Store

Finally! Got my hands to an actual watercolor paper! I went high and low to find this one but I couldn't find it! Lucky enough, these were given to me by my friend.

Canson WCP - 59.75/SM Department Store

Here's a sketch book that I got from my grandma, though I'm really not good in drawing, this might not be very useful for me because it is intended for mediums like colored pencils, graphite, and charcoal. But even if that is being said, I'll still make a good use out of it.


Here's a plain brown notebook with white pages on the inside that I got from an online store called Shoppe. I am quite disappointed with this one because in the description it says it has thick pages but in reality the pages were just like a plain bond paper. But I still like it though. Don't get me wrong.

Shoppe - 70php

This was the main highlight of this haul, and finally laid my hands on one of Reeves' products! A lot of artists on the internet uses reeves as their mediums and I got so thrilled when I got these! Though my first experience with reeves wasn't really that pleasing, this brand is good.

These are some unbranded watercolor palettes that 2 of my classmates got it for me, I already used them that's why they kinda look nasty.
