I went to Singapore last month (April 25-29, 2017) for a vacation. I had a great time exploring the city because I haven't been there since 2008. I also did a bit of shopping but not too much because I books are expensive there and I do not want to spend too much money since May is coming up and there are a lot of new releases that I want to purchase and read.  Moving on, the first items that I bought are from Guardian , which is like a health and beauty store there. I got a lot of Essence Beauty make up because I've heard this brand before but I have not tried there stuff because it is not available in the Philippines.... and it's cheap so why not.  2 in 1 eye shadow & liner (Waterproof)  Shades: 01 Go Bronze and 02 Peach Perfect ($4.90 each) Mascara  Top to Bottom: The False Lashes Mascara ($4.90), Get Big Lashes ($4.50), Rock 'n' Doll($4.90), & I ❤Extreme ($4.90)   Concealer Camouflage Cream Concealer ($4.50) & S...

1. Better at Wedding than You by Mina V. Esguerra  Daphne Cardenas is the best wedding planner around, and everyone knows it. That's why her friend Greg hired her as an emergency replacement one month before his wedding—because he fears his fiancĂ©e Helen is falling for the guy they first hired for the job. Aaron Trinidad is new to the wedding industry but years of conference planning and loads of charm make him good at it. Really good at it. Planning the wedding of his friend Helen should be easy, and it is. To be unceremoniously fired isn't good for his new career, but the chance to learn from the best might be the silver lining. Aaron and Daphne have chemistry, but there’s history with Helen that at least one other person considers a threat. Who's the planner who can fix this impending disaster? (Part of the Chic Manila series, but can be read as a standalone.)                             ...
