MUA : Makeup Academy The Artiste Collection - Multi Use Palette

Hello my dearest readers! It's been a while since I last posted. It's been a tough time in Zamboanga due to the ongoing crisis but I've decided it was time to start posting more "normal" stuff on my beauty blog... So after my short soap review & giveaway, I'm back for a palette review today!  Last month I featured a new palette in my Kering Keri Store haul. It's called the MUA...

MLOTI 4 : September's First Week

Welcome to another post of the "My Life Outside The Internet" variety. My September's first week has been eventful. I've started cooking again, and eating sweets to uplift my spirits.

I've been practicing...

In My Makeup Chair : Ezra "Basha" Solomon

I can't believe it's the start of the "ber" months already! Anyway, Basha is a college batch mate who contacted me last month to glam her up for her aunt's wedding. She was a secondary sponsor. She had medium length hair that I had to be careful not to over-curl too much so that she wouldn't be left looking like a poodle with too short curly hair! I'm so glad she loved the outcome.

Zamboanga based clients can book me via email at parel.janna@gmail.com or via sms at 09177230118. Allow me to bring out the best in you!
