The Traveling Heels

Give a girl the right pair of shoes and she can rule the world.

Etude House x Catwalk Makeup Workshop Batch 1 + Upcoming Sessions! :D

Here’s a sweet sneak peek from Etude House x Catwalk Cosmetics Makeup Workshop Batch 1:

These yummy treats from Cupcakes by Sonja arrived at the studio even before I did! Thanks to City Delivery for the speedy order! I can now get my favorite cupcakes without traveling all the way to Serendra. Mmm… :>

Now, off to the classroom~

The gift bags from Etude House were overwhelming!! EVERYONE got to take home a Sauna kit and various goodies and certificates from Etude House, Catwalk Cosmetics, Lay Bare, Freshlook Contact Lenses, Dove, City Delivery, Vivid Mirror & Fashion Galore!

My makeup dump. My personal display of Etude House makeup & skin care, Catwalk makeup, Sonja’s Cupcake giveaways & my favorite tool as of the moment, Vivid tweezers! Will blog about this mid-week. ;)

Side note: My Starbucks tumbler is out of place. I carry it around with me everywhere because I drink like a camel. *embarassed* :))

The girls taking out their Etude House makeup at their work stations. Prior to this we had an informative seminar from Dra. Janna Romualdez of Ciba Vision/ Freshlook Contact Lenses. She taught everyone contact lens care and how to wear them in just 15 minutes. Amazing!! D: Will post an overview of her lecture after all 3 sessions. *join us so you can hear her live* hee :> Plus, you get to take home the contact lenses too!! 8)

This is the last time we’ll be using Mylene’s Living Room studio. *sob* BUT something she has something BIGGER and BETTER stored for us on our next batch. We’ll be the first group to ever use her new studio! *whee* :D

I usually post all makeover photos from the previous batches but I don’t want to spam people’s feed on Tumblr so I chose the top 3. (The rest will be uploaded at Catwalk Cosmetics Fan Page)

AZEE won the best “Colorblends” eye makeup award so she got 5 pairs of contact lenses from Freshlook! It was her first time to try on contacts. See the difference of her photo without them (left). The eyes can really make a BIG difference when it comes to makeup. :>

Runner-up for the Etude House Princess award is KIM. See how flawless she looks using Etude House’s BB Cream. She looks so cute with the Catwalk wig. Anyeong!! :D

The winner of the Etude House Princess award is Charles Angel Lacson! :D She had the best Korean ensemble plus she rocked the blonde wig and we crowned her “Princess blondie” XD

She got to take home a Moistful Collagen Set from Etude House and of course, this cute princess crown! :>

Here are my students thanking Miss Sonja for her fabulous cupcakes.

We’d also like to thank the following for the wonderful gifts in our goodie bags:

Here’s a photo of me and my students holding our Etude House bags while talking about makeup over Sonja’s cupcakes. ~Our last photo EVER at the Living Room Studio. Mylene and I will never forget all the students that we had here. Thank you so much for all the fun memories! 

Hoping for more on our last 2 sessions with Etude House. Aja aja fighhhting!! :D

<3 your Korean-loving makeup guru,
Marj Sia

The Return of Fashion Galore

Back in 2005, in an online community called Multiply, Fashion Galore reigned as the online shop go-to for fashionistas who loved to flaunt their blings. People would even wait online just to anticipate the latest uploads of jewelries, dresses and even bags! Jamy, the owner and brains behind the brand, left the country for a while so she had to put a halt to the online business but lucky for us, she decided to revive her shop via Facebook!

Fashion Galore re-launched last July 15 with their Le Vintage Satchels. My jaws dropped when I saw these because I was planning to get a Cambridge satchel to cheer myself up from my horrible experience at Hong Kong. (Side note: I am almost fully healed. Yey!) Good thing I haven’t ordered them yet because FG’s satchels are only 1/3 the price!

It was so hard to pick which color I should get so my mom chose the green one for me (Photo below) since it looks very “young and vibrant” and I don’t own any bag in that color. I was supposed to get it in 11” but knowing how much junk I carry around with me the whole day, I had to go for the 13” one. No regrets here!!

HYPE this look at Loobook!

You can go to school or work and still look ‘fashyown’ with these vintage satchels. They’re also very light so its not hard to go around when you use it while shopping. I can’t wait for the next upload of FG especially for their jewelries & accessories. It will surely save me a lot of time from canvassing at random shops in the malls.

You can tweet them for inquiries at @fgalore. Jamy is very friendly and a fashionista at heart too so don’t hesitate to ask for advice when you can’t decide which item/s you should get.

BAGS & CLOTHES: Confused at which colors go together? Leave a comment below, I’d be glad to help! :)

It’s official! Catwalk ✖ Etude House Makeup Workshop ♡

Hello Princesses! Guess who’s hosting my next makeup workshop??? My favorite Korean makeup brand ~Etude House!! :D

The first time I stepped into this ‘dollhouse cosmetics heaven’ back in 2007 at Korea, I never imagined that I would get the chance to work with them so this is definitely a dream come true.♥ They will provide ALL makeup that will be used in the classroom. A brief skin care education will also be discussed using Etude House’s most popular products so students can learn the daily skin care routine before putting on makeup.


The gift bag will contain various goodies such as a free makeup brush set so no need to bring anything but yourself & fun to the classroom because everything will be provided! If you already have your own brush set, you can opt to get the Catwalk Cosmetics Eyeshadow Runway Palette instead. How cool is that!? :)



Snacks will be provided by my favorite cupcake place: Cupcakes by Sonja.


Aside from yummy cupcakes, each student will take home the following goodies:

Various Makeup & Skin Care products from Etude House

Eyebrow shaping GC from Lay Bare Waxing Salon so students can try out their threading services for free!


DOVE goodies ~ to achieve soft, beautiful & glowing Korean skin


Fashion Galore Gift Certificate. So glad they’re making a comeback this year. They have really nice Korean accessories and my current obsession, satchels!! You can check their items at FGALORE Facebook Page.


and last but not the least, goodies from our other food partner, City Delivery.


Everyone gets a PAIR of FRESHLOOK contact lenses worth over P1,500. The best dressed/ Korean look from the Photoshoot (by Mylene Chung) will win a gift bag from Freshlook contact lenses too so arrive in your best Kpop attire. AJA AJA! Fighting!!! ♥♥♥

*Sample photo from our previous day & night workshop.
