Hello!!

Hi everyone!! I'm Aya, an AB Psych major from the Ateneo de Manila University and welcome to my blog!

My favorite guilty pleasure would have to be cosmetics and beauty products. It all started when I stumbled upon Blair Fowler's Youtube channel, watched a few videos and I was hooked! From there, I started subscribing to other well-known Youtube beauty gurus like Elle Fowler, Michelle Phan, Bethany Mota, and Ingrid Nilsen. I absolutely love watching videos of these beauty gurus as they talk about products that are out in the market. And after watching countless haul videos, monthly favorites videos, make up tutorials, etc., I thought to myself: "why isn't this a thing here in the Philippines?"—well maybe it is but it's not highly raved about. Anyway, I really wanted to do something similar to this but I knew it in myself that I am too shy and awkward to film videos and put them up on Youtube (plus editing videos is a whole other issue) so i decided to just make a beauty-related blog instead! 

So here it is!

Pulchritudinous describes anything that is pleasing in appearance—and what better word to relate my blog to! I mean, the main function of a beauty product is pretty self-explanatory in itself. But other than that, I wanted to point out that I am not here to tell you to wear make-up (since it is also tricky to maintain due to the scorching heat) or use the products I'm using or to forget about the value of  simplicity. I'd like to believe that the use of these kinds of products, is to gain an extra boost of confidence. But of course, at the end of the day, inner beauty will radiate through any cosmetic/beauty-related product. Think of it this way: these products exist to enhance that beauty :-) 

So I hope you guys enjoy!

Just a disclaimer, my intention is not to brag about the things I have, or anything to that extent, but to share information with those who are interested in finding out about the products I mention. And hey, maybe it will help in some way!
