precious finds

why did i only discover this now?

it's shu uemura's mousse-slash-sunblock (spf17)-slash-foundation-base.

since i've been a "phan", i've been crazy about make-up. (nagdadalaga).

and here is a perfect everyday sunblock/foundation that's very light on the skin... no shine at all!!!

it can also be used as a primer for more serious make-up.

maybe i should make a video ala-phan haha! who knew?

secret store

discovered this really cool second hand store... the girls there claim things are from italy.

not really sure... but nevertheless they have a lot of really nice pieces.

they have the usual frenchy items... like these tassled chairs...

but of course, i'm drawn to the midcentury pieces...

like these side tables with gold legs...

cool sofa and floor lamp...

green plastic chair...

i love this console. we're eyeing it. the inside is pink with mirrors! should have taken a photo.

more cool chairs...

lamps, lamps, lamps!

i'm waiting for them to text me how much this is...

wanna go?? :)
