Hey girl!

Hello! I'd like to say Merry Christmas to all of you. I was thinking of something to post when I drop by to one blog that posted a Christmas tag and thought of doing mine too. I love the feel of Christmas even if it maybe rainy Christmas eve today. Wishing you a blessed and wonderful holiday season.

I know! I am not the best when it comes to nail art (I'm just being protective here. :) ). I am just fond of doing some art on my own nails (something personal). I envy much to those who are just so good in doing it. Imagine how tiny our nails as a canvass for a detailed art. Okay, I made my point. Presenting...my Christmas nail art! (clap,clap,confetti).

The month almost ends and I am so much ready for December. The season of gift giving is fast approaching. I know some of you got their 13th month pay already so, have you started your shopping yet? If not, the next question will be, do you already know what to buy for your loved ones? If not again, here are some gift ideas I want to share.

Glamworks Bath and Body Essentials lip and cheek tint

Shade: Strawberry red (also available in Peach pink)

Cost: 75.00 pesos

Net. wt: 10 grams/tube

Place bought: Watsons

Hey Girl!

Hooray! I missed product reviews lately. Today, I want to share about the cheek and lip tint that I've been using for quite sometime now. 

Are you the on-the-go gal who's always ready? This one is for you. You've got your cheek and lip ready in a minute with this product. It comes in a small tube that makes it more handy. If you always have no time doing your make-up early morning going to work or school, you could possibly do it with this while on the way! In just a swipe on your finger, you will have enough product to put on your cheeks or on your lips. It gives me a glow in an instant. It has two purpose in one tube which is what I like the most. One tube goes a long way, it is affordably a must have in your every 'kikay kit'.  It has creamy, glossy consistency that gives me a perfect red blush and red lips in every swipe. I could just bring this small jar for a blush and lip tint. I'll always make sure I have this always for a quick touch ups for everyday use.

135g soap

Hey Girl!

It's been on the top of my blog post for the longest time and I am very proud of it because I wanted to spread a word about real good product that works. One person replied to my post that it has now available with moisturizer and I tried to find it for me to try. After my trial for more than two months now, it gives me twice as satisfaction as my first purchased Dr. S.Wong's Sulfur Soap. This one is more improved with a moisturizer which is really a good thing as I mentioned on my first review on this soap, it is kinda drying on the face and now, it is just perfect to use. It is also now scented which smells better than the first one which smells like a medicated soap.

Oh! How are you all doing? Me? Just keepin' it lazy from writing this past month. I'm really sorry. I am just burnt out of ideas and inspirations lately. But I guess, life goes on. And by the way I'm still on the birch of my bloganniversary last month so I have no excuse of not doing my thing. I just turned 1 and this is just the beginning of everything. Okay, enough of my issues in life. Well, I'll be talking more about life today and everything in between (things that bothers me lately).

Sometimes even the greatest man full of ideas still needs a rest because when you are spontaneous of what you are doing you don't stop and that drains you. You have to recharge once in a while to keep on track. You have to be full charge of passion,love and enthusiasm of what you are doing. Don't let yourself became empty and that takes more time to recharge everything and before you knew it, you lost it (that's what I thought happens to me).

Before, I never thought I would put up a blog myself. I am a very private person and doesn't talk too much of myself to others. Until these beauty bloggers inspired me with all these beauty-related thing, I wanted to learn, to experience and to share everything that I read, watched and see on their blogs. So, just like many others I put up a blog and write everything I learned; also to help others who are in search for beauty related lessons. I named my blog Beauty by Princess, by that time. It was so much fun experience. I made beauty product reviews and beauty talks. Then, I tried other things. I tried beauty tutorials and DIY's. And finally, I started to share some lessons in life, guide, travel, my love, my pets and most especially my life experiences. 

Hello, hello! You've seen me post a lot about Colour Collection products recently because I actually got a loot of make-up goodies from Sample Room for winning their Colour Collection Blog contest. Hooray! I was a happy kid when I got all these products (except the Age Defying BB cream ). It was amazing that I got to try all these products.

Last time I posted about make-up review, I featured Colour Collection which I've been using lately. Now, I have gathered all my reviews on Colour Collection products I made and created a haul. Colour Collection is by Tupperware brands which is very new to me. It is my first time to try out their products. I personally don't see these products on the market so the truth is, I don't know where to actually purchase it.

Happy First Anniversary Miss Princess Diaries! 

Since I started this beautiful journey of blogging, it gives me an unexplainable joy of expressing myself and knowing what I can still do. At first, my blog was purposely as my special diary of exploring things I could imagine doing, it was more on my search for beauty. Personally, I am a girl with low self-esteem when it comes to physical appearance and one of my frustration is to look good in the eyes physically. But as I am on my journey where I learned everything about beauty and beauty products, I realized that after all, looking good makes you feel good but what is more important is what really makes you happy and the good desire of your heart. It is not about pleasing other people, it is not a pleasing game. It is your own game. Do it for yourself, do it to make you happy. In my little space in the net, I knew I could do so much, inspire a lot and be inspired by others. I learned a lot. (Well, you could learn from a lot of things, even on little things). This blog is just one of your inspiration but there is a lot more you could do to be inspired. Go in and go out to be inspired. Live to be inspired.

Hey Girl!

For today, I wanted to talk about getting a blog's name. For those who have changed their blog names through the years will highly relate to this topic. I, myself, have experienced the same until I found the best for me. Well, they can't blame us; nothing's permanent in this world but change. But of course dearies, time will come that you have to decide for yourself what blog name you will stick with forever and established a foundation.

Hey Girl!


It's been so while. I'm so sorry for being so outdated lately. I promised I'll try time management this time. Last May, I posted about "Getting back to my profession" thing and yes, I am on my nursing practice since then up to now, that's why I'm too busy with everything in my practice. I've been also busy reading a lot about nursing that at the end of the day, I am too tired of planning and updating with you guys. But of course, my love for this thing called blogging will not just end that way. 

Since I'm on my nursing profession now, I wanted to incorporate it with what I did here: to beautify. You heard it right girl, especially those girls who is also on my line of profession! As you can see, nurses in terms of look is so simple and neat but I will take that to a higher level ( I mean, just a little higher hehe). Since I started my journey on my nursing career, I seldom see female nurses have something on their face maybe just face powder that makes them more pale and of course a pony tail or a hair on a bun that is typically us, nurses. Now I will try to make 3 looks for every shift that nurses could try on how to look good but still to maintain simplicity and neatness.

Last month, my VIP subscription to Sample Room has ended. It's been a fruitful 2 months of sampling and I admit it was kinda addicting. haha! For two months, I had to check on their site as often to find out if there are new products I could try. Sample Room had given me an opportunity to find products that works best for me even before I purchase in a full prize and size. Now, before I go on with my new VIP subscription to Sample Room, I want to share with you all the sample products I got and the products that works for me.

Imagine, for the past 2 months I got 20 sampling products, most of them are in full size. If I even total every cost I made for all of this equals to the actual prizes of all the products I got, I only spent 1/4 of the total actual prize plus the perks of trying out new released products and finding what best suit and works for me. It is a great thing especially if you are a product junkie but still in a budget.

Hey Girl!

It was a great sunny day when me and my big brother decided to go to Mt. Isarog. It wasn't his first time to go there, I was envy when I saw his pictures so I was the one who pushed him to go there that day. It was just the perfect time and weather to climb that day. I am not really that adventurous girl but I am always fan of the idea of doing things I didn't do before. I admit that we are not so ready to hike that day (I mean, physically and some things ), I didn't even think what to expect and what to even bring for the hike maybe I am just too excited which is not really good. Above all based on my experience, first things first, get ready of all the things you may need while hiking like water which is very important! (and which we don't have that day! Omygosh!), maybe flashlight (just in case), towel/bimbo, safety kit (some basic medical things you needed in case of emergency), and some other things technically (I am not an expert here). Okay next, be physically ready. In our case, it was just my first time to even go there so I have no idea how many kilometeres I needed to climb or the danger that awaits me. Next time, I will make some little research first and get some stretching, of course. Mentally, I am so excited, ready for everything and so looking forward to go there.

Colour Collection Lip Therapy with Argan Oil

Net wt: 4g

A quality product of Tupperware Brands Phils.

Hey Girl!

Let me share you my new lip therapy. I admitted several times that I got dry lips and my lips were easily cracked by some other lip products. I've tried the DIY: Sugar Lip Balm to moisturized and slough off dead skin everytime but it is too time consuming for me. I've seen this product before in Sample Room and really wish to have one because I know it will be a great product. Then, I got to have this Colour Collection Lip Therapy from my winnings to their blog contest and I was happy and excited to try and start my lip therapy.

Hey Girl!

Oh! I'm so back. It's been almost a week and I can't help but make a post. I have a lot of story to make. haha! That will be for my future posts, I guess. But for now, I want to talk about this Gluta-C products I got recently on Sample Room. It is dare to bare: whiter skin this summer. It has combined whitening effects of Glutathione and Vitamin C which is really great. I know right, I've got "medium" skintone and what I always wanted is a fairer skin so for me this products are a must try. And also, in a very affordable prices.

I am a nurse by profession. Being a nurse is a different world for me. It is when there were no selfie moments, no fancy make-up and accessories just simply you and your caring heart.

It is the time I tried to be out of my boundaries and tried whatever I can do to help others. It is when you were giving without expecting in return, it is when every act is selfless and when everything you planned is for the good of others. You are not the center of attention but you are there for them. It is simply fulfilling and inspiring profession. It is giving strength, guidance and hope to live life each day for a purpose and reason.

Let's talk again on my next blog.

Yes, YOU lovely gorgeous.

Love yourself because you are beautiful.

Hugs and Kisses,

Princess Mikee 

Hey Girl!

It's been a long time since I did a make-up post. I've seen a lot of Spring Fling lately and I was inspired todo mine too. I know! it's other country's thing and as for the Philippines, it is scorching hot summer (I will make a summer version too!). For now, here is my version of Spring Fling.

Let's start the look!

Alright, excuse my bare face (we all have that bare face story, I will tell you the whole story next time). Now, start concealing your impurities and hide that thingy (hehe!). Then, blend,blend,blend. When you are satisfied with the concealing and hiding that stubborn spots then it is time to mattify the face with the face powder to have that flawless matte finish. Do I look like a white lady? Don't worry, I will blend it more. So, you now have a good canvass to start with.  Next, let's get painting!

Here is one of the product from Colour Collection make-up kit that I received from winning Sample Room's blog contest recently, it is the Ultimate Wear Blush-on in Spring Fling. Oh, I heard Spring Fling everywhere and this one is just in a right time when I received it. I searched everywhere to find other information for this particular product from Colour Collection by I've seen nothing, even a review. So, this will be the first I guess. 

Say hello to youthful skin with Celeteque Advance Anti-Aging anti-wrinkle facial moisturizer and ultra hydrating cleansing oil. Celeteque is one authority when it comes to skincare and I salute their advanced anti-aging products. I am only on my early 20's and you might think it is too early for me to think about skin wrinkles and aging but I believe prevention is better than cure so why worry about wrinkles in the future when you can actually prevent it now or just slow up the process of skin aging. Good thing I got these advanced anti-aging  products from Celeteque.

As a blogger, it will be a great opportunity for me to be part of Sample Room's team. I've been a Sample Room VIP Member for just a month now and ever since  I registered in, I am loving how everything works on Sample Room, it is giving an opportunity for every Filipina to find the right product that works for them which is also one of the reasons I started this blog - to help every girl find what's best for them and be at their beautiful self everyday.

Oh? Summer is still here and the sun keeps shining. You want that sun-kissed skin without cooking your skin on the sun? Here is Nivea Sun Protect and Bronze which is just perfect for summer. It protects your skin and helps it achieve a even natural looking  tan at the same time! With just a spray, you will get an immediate sun protection and support skin's natural tanning ability.

A one full 200 ml bottle is good for 6 full body application in an average adult. You just have to keep re-applying after swimming and toweling. Also, it only has SPF 20 which gives you medium sun protection so you have to actually re-apply every 3 hours even if you didn't swim. It is not sticky at all and easy to use. It glides smoothly on skin when rubbing in and you feel your skin is moisturized after use. It smells just like your other Nivea lotion. This one is your perfect summer buddy.

 Let's get ready to the sun!

I want to share with you this Skin White Whitening Body Wash as part of my skin whitening routine. I personally got medium-natural skin tone and always strive to have that fair looking skin. So, any whitening products I will encounter is a must try for me. I was really interested with this product because it is very new to me. I tried Skin White lotion before and now they have this body wash for the complete skin whitening routine. It has synchronized whitening action through multiple actives to ensure you achieve beautiful blush white skin. Another good thing, I doesn't just cleanse and whitens but also moisturizes and nourishes skin with Vitamins B3 and E. Yey!

The Ingredients

The heat is up and the braids are in! So what's your favorite braided hairstyle lately? I've been loving braids ever since I knew how to do it. If you are thinking braids are for kiddos only, check out some of my favorite braided hairstyle tutorials that I made.

Looks odd? It is just your ordinary 3-strand braid, really! but with a twist. Do it anytime, anywhere.

We love mermaids and you can be a mermaid too with this hairstyle-inspired by beautiful creatures of the sea, just like what we watched on TV.

Ever since I started to be a make-up enthusiast, I have been eyeing this marionnaud brushes everytime I visit Watsons. I always look out for this brushes and told myself that I should collect some of these brushes. I have been very fascinated by the brushes and brush set I've seen online but before I start to buy those brushes I wanted to collect these Marionnaud brushes to create my own brush set. And I know, they have released the premium marionnaud brushes long before I had my very first marionnaud brushes, but I still wanted to share my experience and love with these lovely brushes of mine. Though not really affordable (as for me), I have discovered that these brushes really works, well-made and of good quality.

Summer is officially here. The first question is: Is your skin protected? The answer is here. It is the new Sun Expert from Belo. It has the complete protection for UVA and UVB rays. It doesn't just consists of adequate SPF that we need for our skin's daily sun protection but also has PA+++, the most amount we can have for UVA protection which protects our skin from premature aging and wrinkles.

One of the most top rated Filipina beauty blogger "The Beauty Junkee" is celebrating her 5th Blog Anniversary. It's been a 5 fruitful blogging years and she is truly an inspiration to every Filipina beauty enthusiast and bloggers like her and because of that she will be hosting a 100,000.00+ pesos worth of goodies giveaway for all of us!

Let's talk again on my next blog.

Yes, YOU lovely gorgeous.

Oh yes! Summer is on. My favorite summer destination is our beautiful province Caramoan, Camarines Sur. I already took you on a tour to the province (Part 1 and Part 2 here) and now as promised, let us visit the famous Gota beach in CamSur. Everybody knew about the reality series "Survivor" but do you know that many countries shoot their "Survivor" in Gota Beach in CamSur? You heard it right. Oh well, ever since we were in Caramoan way back then, our favorite beach destination is Gota Beach because it just a ride away from the town either by jeepney, tricycle or your own vehicle (but you have to rent your own transportation to get there because the road you will go through is not the usual road that public vehicle will pass, it is actually a bumpy,rough road passing the mountains) unlike other beaches that you have to rent another boat to get there. Before, going to Gota Beach is just that easy you have to bring your foods and pay for the cottage (if there's any) and you're ready to the beach! It was just a plain beach, there were one-two cottages made and the nature's beauty. So many Caramoanon go there because it is the place to be if you want to enjoy beach with less cost.

Hey Girl!

I'm starting to love BB creams because they are not just our ordinary creams we apply on our daily face routine but they've got beneficial and multi-purpose effects on our skin. Just like this one from Colour Collection, the Age Defying BB creams which has 8 skin benefits.
