Hi ladies! We'll be flying off to Iligan today to attend MB's sister's wedding. Meanwhile, amuse yourselves by browsing through the Archives or watching the funny videos that I've uploaded over the months.  If you're planning a trip to the beach with your family, check out my food blog, 240 baons + 365 meals , for great baon (packed lunch) ideas. You can also plan your Holy Week menu by using the recipes in the archive. I suggest using the Japanese inspired meals. I'll also be posting some packing tips when I get back plus pics of our vacation.  Happy weekend!

This cute lip balm key chain comes in a set with the Wish Magic Lip and Cheek Tint. It costs P109 at Watsons or Beauty by SM. You know how crazy I am about lip balms. I can say that this is a good buy especially because you can use this to reinforce the color of the Wish Magic Lip and Cheek Tint. If you want very pink lips, use the one on the far left before applying the lip tint. You can use the orange one as a top coat. Meanwhile, you can use the light pink one as a base if you don't want too pink lips. The flavors correspond to the colors. I think the dark pink one is cherry and the light pink is strawberry. They taste kinda the same to me. Apply using your fingers or using a lip brush.  The only thing that I don't like about this is the packaging. It's hard to open. It chips my nail polish off. I probably won't repurchase as I still have a lot of lip balms and lipsticks to finish. = ) It's fun to buy makeup but you have to be practical too, you know.

This was a gift. I never liked lip and cheek tints. I tried the one from Herbench back when I was a teenager but when I got older, I just didn't like it anymore. Since this was a gift and I've been experimenting with makeup a lot lately, I eagerly tried it out.  It's magic because it turns into a bright pink once you swipe it on your lips. Look: This is just one swipe each on the upper and lower lips. I made the mistake of swiping too much on my first try and ended up with very pink lips. I never apply lipstick without applying lip balm first. To get the right shade of pink using Wish Lip and Cheek Tint, apply lip balm on lips first. I use my Ilog Maria Lip Balm . I then apply this using a lip brush in small amounts. When dry, I top it with my Maybelline lip balm (review coming). I use this during the weekend because I don't like putting too much makeup on. I want my face to breathe. Pink lips is all I need plus a face powder and I'm ready to go do my shopping ...

This is a long overdue post. I really like this concealer. It's one of the best that I have right now. It costs P198 at Etude House.  Excuse the pic. The focus should be on the concealer and not my nail! I think the only thing that I don't like about this is the amount of concealer inside the tube. It's more than the one on the picture, obviously but I still find it to be too little. I think I have to hoard these as going to Megamall is such a pain.  It's gentle on my uber sensitive skin. So far, it's the only concealer in my vanity that is able to conceal all my spots from zits caused by steroids. It's also great to use as an eyeshadow primer, as described in my previous posts. See Cathy's Prom Makeup . It blends well into my skin. It's also great to use with Ellana mineral concealers. It stays on the whole day on normal skin. It's creamy and very easy to blend. I use my fingers to blend.  Here's the swatch: I'm definitely going to bu...
