Choosing A Dream Car is One Click Away

One of my dreams is to have my own car. Sometimes being a commuter is hard due to long lines to transportation tickets. Comfort is an issue since public transportation vehicles are mostly overcrowded and I cannot sit properly. There are times that I stand inside a bus. The smoke, pollution and rain also make it harder to commute.

1.     Style. I want car that will fit my personality. After all self branding is important. Part of self branding is the properties you have. I want a simpler one which is a sedan or coupe type of car. The color is also a factor. I want something that is not so striking so I would choose a gray one. The picture below is a sedan car. It is a 2018 Toyota Camry.

2.     Use or Lifestyle. The type of car will also depend on the use or lifestyle you have. If you are the type that moves many things or carry things in work then you might need a pickup.

3.     Safety and Number of people that will use it. For safety I prefer van or SUV because the case is huge or there is more space. In case there is an accident I will have more space and protection. If you have a family already and you are many a car with many seats is preferable.

If you have a toddler already it would be better to purchase a car with childlock.

I also want a car that has tinted windows.

4.     Budget. I really want a convertible one but budgetwise honestly I cannot afford it as of the moment. I also have this feeling that if I drive a convertible every day then people might think I am very rich then thieves might set me as a target.

Used cars have lower prices than new ones. However rumors are when the car is already used maybe it might need more repairs. It will be harder to use it if you do know nothing about car repair. I think the best option for me is to just buy a new one.

http://www.cars.com/ will help you find the right car for you. It also has a tab for research, videos and reviews and repair. Aside from new cars they also have cars for sale which are used ones.

Lip and Cheek Tint by XOXO TPS Skin

I received this Lip and Cheek Tint as a freebie in a makeup workshop I attended. It is slightly watery. It is pigmented and once it is dried it is transferproof. It is organic and FDA approved. I also like that it has an expiry date at the side of the label. It also has a plastic transparent seal. Most lip tints I see online have no seal. The taste is not so sweet and just slightly fruity.

Shade: Fidem

Review: Shawill Liquid Eyeliner Pen

I bought this brought for only P99 in Watsons after attending a Makeup Workshop where in the makeup artist teacher said it is a good buy. I became curious so I bought two. One for me and one for my makeup clients.

It is longlasting, waterproof and has a matte finish. As stated in the packaging it is volumizing because the pen is not too thin. It is pigmented and applies evenly.

Below is my video having a demo using this product
