Swedish Citizenship Application - Citizenship Journey

This is it pansit! Goodluck to me 😊

Today is the day that I will send my Swedish Citizenship application through post, although I already apply it online (it is a requirement and it a must!). I'am  a bit nervous about it but at the same time my heart is full with excitement!  I can't help thinking about what will gonna happen next (think positive Michelle!).

Anyway highway! before I decided to apply for my citizenship this year, I did a couple of research on my own because I wanted to make sure if I am really eligible to apply for it.  Someone told me I needed to reside here in Sweden for 5 years, some of my friends say 3 years with permanent permit and other say to try my luck and send LOL! I have lot of Filipina friends who had recently applied for their Swedish citizenship and surprisingly their stories where extremely different to one other. Some was approve in only a weeks, some takes months and some still had not yet hear any response to their application. So confused  about it so I headed to the Migrationsverket site to gather more information 😉 a 100% detailed I must say LOL. If you like to know more you can check the SITE  👈

My Fall Essentials 2017 🍃🍂

Fall is one of my favorite seasons, and I'm so excited that it's finally here in Sweden😍. Despite how much I love this season, my skin doesn't agree with it haha! I know I might sound terrible but that is true! I feel like as soon as the weather change to colder, my skin gets more dull,pale and dry 😉. Either way, the summer is now over and when it comes to moving into fall season, I tend to downgrade my handbag to a smaller version (no more big bag for me). 

MAC Ruby Woo 💄- Review

I know this post is kinda late now LOL 😄 because I purchased this lipstick over 3 months ago as my birthday present for my self hehe and probably the last lipstick for me till the end of this year! (yup! no more lipstick for now unless! I use all of my old one 😉 hehe just kidding!).  I have 5 lipsticks in all (H&M Lennox Lounge, Bareminerals Swag, YSL liptint/lipbalm, YSL Rough Pur Couture & Velvet Teddy from Mac) plus this new one! haha a total of 6 now. Yup I know! I'm not a lipstick hoarder *promise! Since I've got my first Velvet teddy from Mac I keep on using it every time I go out and as you can tell that I really really love that lipstick! So, I told myself that I should get another one for my birthday (maybe a classic red). Long and behold...here is me now reviewing my Mac Ruby Woo Retro Matte Lipstick 😉

This lipstick is such a beautiful red shade, some called it classic red and they say that this kind of shade will looks great no matter what skintone you have. The pigmentation of this lipstick is amazing. (see picture below in just one swatch).

MINI Yves Saint Laurent Haul (YSL)

Winter is now coming to town 😉 and it only means that peeling, chapped and dry lips is also next in the line!! hahaha. Actually, nowadays I try to limit my self on using matte lipstick because it only make my lips get worst as ever. Well, just wanted to give my lips a little bit of a break 💋 from using hard lipstick but as much as possible I wanted to still use a color or tint lip balm on my lips *yahknow! just to give it a little touch of life nyahaha!.  So here I am again! searching and browsing online what is the best color lip balm existing in the market nowadays😊! WHAT ELSE! Kicks Sverige to the rescue.

I went online shopping in that site a month ago and I ended up buying YSL Volupte Tint-in-Balm Lipbalm (#12 Try Me Berry) and The Shock Waterproof Mascara. I found lots of good reviews on that lipbalm and I wanted to try it out for myself. These two were my first ever!! as in first ever! purchase from Yves Saint Laurent. I'm glad I bought this product because they are pretty expensive, I don't purchase products like this out of the blue 😂, I needed to wait months or so just to finally have the opportunity to buy them (then GO sa GO!). I am super glad to add a new lipstick on my lipstick collection, and even more glad because I have a brand new mascara too! YSL is so generous to give a little complimentary gift set too, so I guess you could say this post is about a mini haul/review of my first Yves Saint Laurent products.

The packaging is so fancy as you can tell 😊 The lipstick feel a little bit heavy in the hands with the silver bullet casing and the well known YSL logo embellish around it. It also show outside what is the shade of your lipstick and it came in a gold packaging box that is so pretty 😊 The lipstick smell fruity and sweet which I like (its kinda smells like a ripe mango although I know I pick the berry one. So I expected it to smell like a berry but its not). Not to overpowering sweet but smells yummy. Don't worry about the smell because it fades down a bit after you apply it on your lips.

Isn't it adorable? There is a lip-shaped heart in the middle and I hope my picture show it clear 😉. What I know is that the middle is the lipbalm and the outside is the liptint. 

"The outer shell delivers instant balm care with macadamia and apricot butters mixed with passion fruit, coriander and jojoba oils for a glowing sheer color that is vivid, yet transparent. The lip-shaped heart of the lipstick running from top to bottom, provides a lasting kiss of tint. Your lips, but better"

I'll be honest, this lipbalm is really good and worth a penny. It does what it claim and as you can see how my lips looks moisturized and healthy. The formula melts into your lips, coating them with a non-sticky/waxy balm with a pretty flush of color. I like how it feels on my lips not to heavy and not to oily! It glides on effortlessly which I really really like! It feels incredibly nourishing and smell delicious too. 

This lip balm retails for 360 sek Swedish crown, I won't say that the price is fair enough because it is still pricey to the maximum highest level but it is worth having one on your make up collection. I will definitely not buying another one hehe because one is enough! haha but all I know this balm will become a stable lipstick in my bag for rest of the winter.

Lancôme Mini Eau de Parfum Fragrance Gift Set

So for today's post is going to be about this teeny weeny cute little perfume gift set from Lancome, which I think would be the perfect gift or beauty treat to your love ones this coming Christmas :). As we all know that perfume is a little bit expensive RIGHT? and it depends how big you like and what brand you are eyeing to purchase. Arrggh! but I want one! LOL so recently! I was browsing online at kicks.se just to list down all the things I wanted this coming Christmas and I am looking for a new perfume! Yup! I like to have new perfume but its very hard for me to choose what I like plus I am not 100% sure what kind of scent I'd like to go for. Not only that! the bigger the perfume the higher the price too LOL!!😭 so I'm scared that I might buy one big size and ended up not loving it right?..
