December 2012 Empties

Good morning everyone! It’s the last day of the year. Are you excited for tonight’s festivities? As for us, we will be celebrating tomorrow. Today, I will run some errands and do the groceries. I also hope to inject some paperwork when I come back (that includes blogging). I guess this post is fitting as it’s the end of the year. So here are the last of my empties this year:

bench very cherry pie shower gel, bitsandtreats

I know I only bought this but I told you that we are big users of shower gels. We were able to finish this in less than 2 weeks. This costs less than 200 pesos, I think and it was totally worth it. It does not dry up my skin too much (it’s cold so my skin is drier than usual). The scent is not overwhelming and lingers for a while on my skin.

clinique clarifying lotion 3 and clinique all about eyes rich, bitsandtreats

I just finished these two yesterday. This is a big bottle of Clinique Clarifying Lotion 3. MB and I share this. It lasted us for around 6 months. The jar is Clinique’s All About Eyes Rich which is my favorite eye cream. I have a new jar of eye cream, also from Clinique and my Clinique consultant, Baby, said that this new one is better. We will see.

lovely meex and victorias secret amber romance shower gel, bitsandtreats

I also finished another bottle of TFS nail polish remover and another bottle of shower gel. This is Victoria’s Secret Amber Romance. I am not a huge fan of this but it was not going anywhere at Hyphen so I decided to use it. The scent is for more mature women. It’s something that my grandmother would like. It was too strong for me at first but I learned to tolerate it.

nivea intensive body milk and etude house mascara remover, bitsandtreats

Finally, this Nivea Intensive Body Milk and Etude House Mascara Remover. The Nivea body milk is designed for Dry to Very Dry Skin but it did absolutely nothing for my super dry skin. I can use this when the weather is not too cold and not too hot but not in extremes.

I also finished a small bottle of hand sanitizer and another huge one. The small bottle I put in my purse and the big one, we use at home. I didn’t bother taking a photo as these will always be in my empties post. Ever since I saw that movie Contagion, I’ve been obsessed with sanitizing my hands every now and then especially if I shake other people’s hands or come into contact with them or hold a public thing such as the escalator or buttons of an elevator. Yes, I’m that praning!

So that ends my year. I did not do much blogging this year but I will really try to make it regular starting tomorrow. I still have a few product reviews left. I already took the pictures. I just need to sit down and write.

Happy New Year everyone! God bless us all!

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...
