My Project 10+ Pan

I've been somewhat struggling to keep my posts regular because I was on Project 10-Pan since March. In the beginning I told myself that I would go and splurge the moment I reach 10. But seeing my 'empty container collection' grow gradually got me challenged. Why not see how far this will take me? Or how far my strength won't fail me. = )

I'm more into skin care than makeup so that's what I focused on with this Project. Without further ado, I present to you my Project 10+ Pan:


Break it down:
  • Palmolive Aroma Therapy Talc
  • 2 Garnier Whiten & Protect Moisturizing Cream
  • 2 Monea Curl Defining Milk
  • Vaseline Healthy White lotion (400 ml)
  • Foot Treats Foot Scrub
  • Virgin Coconut Hair Spa
  • Holy Seat
  • Human Heart Nature Exfoliating Facial Scrub
  • Johnson's Baby Cologne in Tropical Burst
  • 2 Bench Alcogels
  • Etude House Clear Polish
  • Human Heart Nature Hand and Foot Salve
  • Vitress Hair Cuticle Coat
  • The Face Shop Blush
17 pans! Not bad, eh? I'm so proud of myself that I was able to resist buying more products for 2 months. That's long for me, believe me. Migraine Boy was even prouder. He kept saying that I wouldn't make it. I have to thank him though. He was very supportive all throughout plus he was my Pan Police. I had to present each container to him then he decides if it's good or not. If it's good then I can add that to my collection. If not, I need to make simot a bit more. Plus, he constantly stops me from buying stuff, saying things like "it's not called Project 6-Pan or Project 8-Pan" every time we're at Beauty by SM and I wanted to buy stuff. All the containers presented are empty. That's our definition of 'pan'.

So finally after a long hiatus, I kinda 'splurged' yesterday at Beauty by SM. It's really great that I was able to do this because of the attitude and self-control that I was able to develop. My original budget was P2000 but my bill was only P1000 and not everything there was for my vanity. Some were actually regular essentials such as hand wash, body wash, etc. So, I'm really happy. I kept thinking twice before putting a product in my basket. I told myself that I'll just get them next time. And that next time isn't until after June 20. I've worked out a budget so I can pay off my old debts and at the same time maintain the status of my credit cards. Things are definitely looking up for me!

Watch out for my new product reviews very soon! And I'm looking forward to my next Project 10-Pan too! 

How about you? Have you tried going on a makeup/skin care diet lately?

Soft Luxe Travels: Day 1 - The Journey to Vigan Part 1

In this post, we will start our journey to Vigan! The Night Before After packing our things, I did a few things for myself to help me relax and decompress so that I can sleep. I'm a night owl and not used to waking up early nor sleeping early, so I have to be strategic.  I painted my nails that night after all my chores, so that the nail polish wouldn't chip.  However, I forgot that I needed to make pressed sandwiches for our breakfast the following day!  Because really, what’s a road trip mom without freshly painted nails and a last-minute kitchen hustle? 😂 So, I had to do a lot of washing and hoped for the best that my nail polish will not chip! Luncheon meat, eggs, Kewpie Trust me, it tastes better than it sounds at 11 PM while trying not to chip your polish. That night, we also tried the Ube Halaya from Amira's. This was from our trip to Tagaytay . I'll try to make a review of this on my food blog . With everything prepped, I finally let myself drift off—half excit...

Alone Time

My good friend Kitten and I were supposed to go out yesterday but she had some unexpected things come up. I needed to buy some stuff as I am packing for a trip and so I went alone. I actually enjoy going out alone as much as going out with girlfriends or MB. It gives me a chance to eat whatever I like to eat and explore new restos. It’s also nice to take my time when shopping. After paying my bills, I had a late lunch at Toast Box: I love Hainanese Chicken. I sometimes cook this dish but it’s too tedious so I settle for eating out. I’m so happy that there are now restaurants that serve proper Hainanese Chicken. Well, except that one above was sooooo bloody. It was swimming in blood when I pulled the meat apart so I had it changed. You know what Gordon Ramsay says, bloody chicken is poisonous. This is the second time I ate at Toast Box and in both times, the chicken was so bloody. After lunch, I started shopping. First stop was Beabi where I bought these: The Sakura thermos on...

Holiday State of Mind

  Sometimes, a quick escape is all it takes to reset the spirit. Tagaytay always gives me that holiday state of mind… Even a short drive can feel like a retreat when your heart is ready to embrace rest. My son successfully finished his recital last Sunday and as a reward, my sister treated us to Tagaytay yesterday.  Getting Ready for the Trip I decided to use my BYS Golden Hour Palette for today's look. Makeup, for me, is part of the ritual—it sets the tone that today is special. Here are the swatches: From top to bottom: Polaroid, Candid, Aperture, In Focus, Portrait, Panoramic In Focus is slightly wet, like something between a liquid and cream eyeshadow. The color is gorgeous! I love Panoramic, too! Polaroid is a bit chalky and not as pigmented as the shadows in the Queen Bee Palette.  Here are the face shades: Highlighter: Illumination Contour: Ambiance I haven't tried Illumination yet, only Ambiance. I used it on top of my BYS Bronzer. It's a buildable powder, a littl...
