January 2013 Empties

I was amazed with the amount of products I finished this January! Check them out!

flower puff, bitsandtreats

This isn’t exactly an empty. This flower puff is part of the bath and body set that best friend M gave me for Christmas. I was looking for a cheap bath lily in my stash to bring to Cebu but found that I didn’t have any. MB suggested that I bring this instead. I didn’t like this puff at all. It’s too hard on my skin (because it’s like foam) and it doesn’t do a good job of making the shower gel bubble up so before leaving Cebu, I chucked it.

etude house mini anti germ lotion, benefit girl meets pearl, bitsandtreats


Etude House Mini Anti-Germ Hand Lotion and Benefit Girl Meets Pearl. I love hand lotions and it took me some time to finish this one. Now that I finished the tube, I think it’s a bit expensive. I won’t repurchase. As for Girl Meets Pearl, I have a full sized tube in my stash and all I can say is I love this face primer.

bench dreamy berry burst shower gel, bitsandtreats

Bench Dreamy Berry Burst Shower Gel. This is part of my Bench haul last December. This also smelled nice.

watsons sakura bella mini body scrub, bitsandtreats

Watsons Sakura Bella Mini Body Scrub. I have a travel set of this Sakura Bella line and brought it to Cebu and finished it there. One tube is good for one use.

watsons sakura bella mini shower gel, bitsandtreats

Sakura Bella Shower Gel. This smelled lovely. I also finished this in Cebu. I was able to use it about 4-6 times. I still have the lotion as part of the set. I will bring that the next time I travel.

eskinol and bench merry mango medley shower gel, bitsandtreats

Eskinol and Bench Merry Mango Medley Shower Gel. I think we go through 2 bottles of body wash per month. I didn’t like this very much as I am still partial to the smell of Philippine mangoes. They’re the best! I don’t like the smell of mangoes from abroad and that’s exactly what this gel smells like.

the body shop tea tree skin clearing facial wash, bitsandtreats

The Body Shop Tea Tree Facial Wash. We went through this like crazy because it’s gel form. It’s definitely a good buy but now that I think of it, it’s not too economical because it will run out quickly. I shared this with MB so it ran out fast. I would still buy it though in the future.

urban decay big fatty mascara, bitsandtreats

I’m saying goodbye to my Urban Decay Big Fatty Mascara. Its time is up.

human heart nature body butter, victoria's secret pure seduction shower gel, bitsandtreats

Human Heart Nature Body Butter and Victoria’s Secret Pure Seduction Shower Gel. I found the body butter in my vanity cabinet and decided to finish it. I like taking baths so I really go through a lot of shower gels in a month. I don’t let MB use girly scented shower gels so this is all my doing. This smells lovely as well.


the face shop green grape hand and body shiffon cream, bitsandtreats

Finally, The Face Shop Green Grape Hand and Body Shiffon Cream. If you’ve read my review, you’d know how much I adored this product!

Whew! That’s a lot of products and they definitely made a dent on my collection. With the way things are going, I’m not sure if I can top this in February. I opened a lot of products and it will probably take me a long time to even finish one.

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...
