My First Anna Sui

This is also another post that I owe Kitten. I got this Anna Sui Super-Black Full Mascara on my recent trip abroad.

I asked the SA if this was waterproof and she said, “No, it’s water resistant! You can go swimming and it will remain on your lashes” Taray!  So I got one and I also got the beauty box that I showed you in my recent vanity post.

This is indeed super black and I love it! Although it’s water resistant, it’s easy to remove with my Etude House Mascara and Lip & Eye Makeup removers.

I love the fact that it didn’t make my lashes fall out (remember Maybelline?) and it didn’t make my eyes itch. It withstood a whole day (and night) of shopping.

Here’s the wand:

It’s quite long, longer than my regular mascaras. I have a couple of problems though. One is, I think because it’s a thick mascara, it clumps up on the edge of the wand. Another thing is it dries super slow. I always end up with a few smudges on my under eye area. To remedy that, I blot it to get rid of the excess mascara.

Here’s how it looks on me:

It’s quite expensive for a mascara. I think this is about more or less Php1,000. I just wanted to try an Anna Sui product and I’m glad it didn’t disappoint. Will I buy this again? Probably not as I’m very satisfied with Maybelline mascaras that are cheaper. Plus there’s still a lot of brands out there that are waiting to be discovered.

    The price is pretty scary for something that will go bad really quickly but can't deny how good it looks! :)

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...

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...

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...
