My Travel Makeup Part 2

Continuing my series of posts about my travel makeup, here’s a glimpse of my palettes:

I haven’t used these Bobbi Brown palettes yet. As you can see, they are very versatile. They can get you from day to night. If you’re a low maintenance girl, you can just pop one palette in your bag and a lipstick and you are all set to travel. These palettes are also good for your everyday makeup kit.

This is the Clinique Milly palette. It comes in a pouch but I don’t use that. This can also take you from day to night and all you need is a tube of lipstick. I bring this palette to my domestic and international destinations. This is also a great palette for when my husband and I decide to have a quick getaway in Tagaytay.

The Estee Lauder gold palette is for the more adventurous type because of the colors. There are just 2 neutral shades in this palette. I bring this palette when I travel with my family as the word I associate with this palette is “fun” and being with my family is always fun.

glamour to go fairy edition, bitsandtreats

This is the Too Faced Glamour To Go Fairy Edition palette. This has been with me in most of my travels as it has 8 eyeshadows, one blush, one lip color and a highlighter. It’s so convenient to bring wherever I go.

I haven’t used this Too Faced Glamour to Go palette yet. This is the original Glamour to Go palette and has been a best seller in my store, Hyphen. I was planning to bring this with me to Thailand but alas, it would have to wait. It has 8 eyeshadows, 4 lip colors and 1 blush.

My NARS15 palette has been with me for quite some time now but I never bring this to my domestic travels. I bring this abroad where I always want a more dramatic look to my makeup. People here are just neutral-freaks and I don’t want to stand out as a tourist.

Finally, my Sephora lip palette that is a must-have wherever I go.

Stay tuned for my top picks and more travel makeup tips!

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...
