Haul-over Wednesday

Watsons is definitely my favorite “drugstore” but now First Aid is coming in closely at second place. I was looking for a mirror to use in my bazaars last Sunday. MB and I spotted one at Forever21. It was heart-shaped. I’m not a huge fan of hearts so I was feeling so-so about it and it was Php306. I think it was too expensive for a mirror. But it was also the perfect size. MB said to look for more as he knows that I don’t like hearts. So we went to First Aid at Greenbelt and found these mirrors. The Maybelline stuff, I got yesterday.

The mirrors are, are you ready for this? Php149 each! So affordable! You can adjust the mirror to 45 and 180 degree angles. I saw two kinds of mirrors. One was taller. I asked the SA about it and she said that the mirrors are adjustable. When I asked MB to assemble them, turns out, the tall mirrors are a different model. Oh, well. These will suffice.

On the other hand, I thought I was over my Maybelline phase but I guess first love never dies when it comes to makeup. I was intrigued with the Eyestudio Crayon Liner so I got one in black and one in brown. I was impressed with the Maybelline gel liner so I’m thinking that this will not disappoint me. Fingers crossed. Then, I went on to the Clear Smooth blushes. I love the texture! And I love the color even more! It’s so unique! This is Fresh Apricot. There are 4 variants including this – Fresh Rose, Fresh Coral and Fresh Berry. I want to buy Coral and Berry. Rose was too blah for me. It was too normal. If this turns out better than my Angelfit blush then I would really be impressed as this only costs Php189 while the Angelfit Blush is Php429.

Next on my list are the other blush shades and the Stiletto Mascara. I was feeling blah yesterday and a bit stressed out. This haul made me feel better.

    Great haul! I've never seen the Eye Studio Crayon Liner before. The Clear Smooth blush is very pigmented. :) Maybelline has lots of new makeup launched this July! Saw it on their FB page. :)

    The good thing about buying Maybelline at First Aid is, you get double points if you have a Bench Loyalty Card and a Maybelline Empire Card. Woot!

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...
