Wearing a combination of @nichidocosmetics lipliner in Blaze & @happyskin_ph in Mistletoe. All available in @smbeautyph. Deals and promos await this weekend until the end of September 🤩💋 Every #SMLipstickFest run, I learn a thing or two about how I wear my favorite makeup product. On the first year, it was how to be bold and finally try red (my 1st time ever 💄), on the second, it was how to incoporate fun into my collection (experimented with metallics ✨), and last year it was all about owning it no matter where or when (challenged myself to do 1 different shade per day of the fest 🤪). This year, when we shift the conversation to choosing favorites, I realized that my preference is slowly shifting to the need for comfort and a long-wearing partner to get me through the day. On this photo, you see my lips surviving 8 hours of wear with little to no fading at all! It definitely saved me from having to reapply under the heat of my brother’s graduation sun 👍🏼 The secret? Blot blot blot until you achieve the perfect stain, and make sure to never skip lipliner like the true tita we are inside 💁🏻♀️ The best part? Didnt need a liquid matte to have staying power. My lips actually felt very moisturized because of the combo I chose that morning. How about you? What’s your favorite lipstick finish? 😘 #nationallipstickday #SMBeautyPlayground
One of my fondest memories with you was during this day in ♣️♥️ Wonderland ♠️♦️ — we got lost in their (borderline scary) theatric performance, sipped crazily priced tea, and ate pastries I could not pronounce, but had an experience that can never be replaced because it was shared with one of the few friends I hold dear to my heart. To my Gina Paula, workmate turned friend and forever roomie during #jetsetspark trips like this, hope you have the happiest of birthdays and a 🎶 merry merry unbirthday (to me?) (to you!) 🎵 for the rest of the year and in the days to come. God knows you deserve all the happiness in this world and more 🌎 Keep exploring with Chers @cheripicker and I dream to be part of your travelogue someday ✈️ Thank you for always adopting me and @mawidagdag; maghanda kayo pag neighbors na tayo! 😛 This was an unexpected friendship, but definitely one of the best. Happy birthday, @pauiguevarra! Love you always 🌸 #santiagoesplaces #travel #squadgoals
All smiles today as we celebrate our baby’s graduation! 👨🏻🎓 This academic oval photo took me back to days during my second year in college, wherein my NSTP jeep route would always pass through this street, and I would ask myself “What if I chose UP?” Well 3 yrs later, my Papa Coco @fmrsantiago chose to be here, to create his life here, and to dream here. And we’re all so proud to be with him in today’s finish line ♥️ #Sablay2018 #FamilyFirst
Le baiser, 1951 Oil on canvas; Rene Magritte 🕊 | Today’s Magritte tour was a pleasant surprise- not knowing his exhibit would be running at the same time I’d be here made my visit a lot more special. It’s as if we were meant to cross paths. Those of you who’ve seen my stories know that I documented a few of my favorites, but I purposely left this particular piece out. Le baiser was something that made me stop. It made me sit, and think, and reflect, and feel happy & heavy all at the same time. The possibility of having both worlds, night and day, travel across the seas— and live. I’m no expert when it comes to art and I don’t pretend to know things like a critic, but I usually gauge my affinity towards a piece when it makes time freeze. For no reason at all / for every reason possible. I took time to sit and just watch this beauty: up close, and as I discovered it best to observe- admiration from afar. // My fondness of Magritte interestingly came from Dad’s @flykoko15 JTA present to me in 2012- a Rene Magritte @teneuespublishing planner 📓.

Back in my happy place, my home; back in the land that took my heart 6 years ago. Breathing the same air that cleansed my soul month after month after month, taking in the sound of the crashing waves as if it were only yesterday that I asked for its embrace. Reliving the time of my life, the time which I would say changed me for good and for the better. Tried to stop myself from this dramatic reflection, but those who know would understand the overwhelming emotion that swept over me today. Thank you, @kayesantiago for this magical moment and for sharing your sacred place with me. It’s nice to see my first love in a new light ✨ .
