Dior Addict Lip Glow Color Reviver Review
Note: This was review on Dior Addict Lip Glow posted back in 2012. I still use the product after all these years and it deserves new photos!!!

Since there are TONS out there. From the cheapest to the most expensive ones. Another makeup product with a very long and descriptive name. A lip balm that claims to be everything you want. Brings out the natural color of your lips, sun protection, superb moisturization,…

Major retailers nationwide No judgements. As I’ve told over and over again on my blog. Let’s be real. Some people want fairer skin. Some people want to be tan. I, for one have been using a lot of skin whitening products throughout the years to achieve the fairness I’ve always dreamed of. The first product I used back in high school was whitening soaps. Thorough the years I’ve tried and tested countless soaps and almost 90% of the time these soaps sting and feels…

Good Eats: Mad Mark’s Creamery and Good Eats
Posted 2013, Mad Mark’s is still one of my fave places to eat A good piece of meat with a price your wallet will thank you is hard to find. Fortunately, Mad Mark’s Creamery and Good Eats serves one of the best tasting, worth it, and a bang for your buck. For 285php you get 200g of USDA Angus Strip Loin cooked the way you like it.

Not bad eh? My hungry face. I like taking…

Review: Vitapack Slimaluma
Vitapack Slimaluma has Yerba Mate as one of their ingredients that’s why I bought it. It’s supposed to stabilize moods without the rush that you get from caffeine. It’s mood boosting, but not to the point of over-buzz and it has no crash unlike coffee from caffeine. WHERE TO BUY? Buy Vitapack Slimaluma at Lazada Ever since I started taking Vitapack Slimaluma twice a day, before lunch. I started dropping weight. I rarely go to the scales but the body figure will show. For some people this is a good thing, but for someone like myself who exercises 4x a week and follow a “strict” diet with macro and calorie counting, and being someone…

[MAKEUP] SLEEK Divine Mineral Based Eyeshadow Palette in Original Review
Best in late! Again! 🙂 Haha a lot of bloggers have been posting reviews, raves and swatches left and right on Sleek Cosmetics especially their Sleek Divine Mineral Based Eyeshadow Palette. That comes in different sets of colors. I was playing safe and got the Sleek Original Palette instead which includes their best selling shades and the widely used colors like beiges, golds, black, blues, purples, and greens. The Sleek Divine Mineral Based Eyeshadows have a creamy texture to them. Too bad all colors are shimmery so discreet individuals may steer away from this eyeshadow palette. But a light hand could be a solution to make these gorgeous babies wearable. Click Image to Enlarge. Without…

[MAKEUP] Chanel Narcisse Joues Contraste : Review and Swatches
It’s the Chanel Joues Contraste in Narcisse. A blush that will give you oh so slightly fresh pink color that will make your dull skin appear healthy and blooming. I almost forgot about this blusher when I also fell in love with Bobbi Brown’s Shimmer Brick. But alas, I cannot use a super shimmery rouge during office and daytime. So I remembered my beloved Narcisse. It just glows with flash 🙂 It’s not warm, it’s not cool. I can say it’s definitely a neutral pink that will match cool warm or neutral tones. I’m just not so super sure if it would show up on our gorgeous morenas (tans) since the pigmentation is…

Belo Essentials Smoothing Whitening Bar Review (Belo Pink Soap)
Hooray for another whitening soap review! This time, we will be reviewing one of the more popular and highly visible brand, Belo. Belo Essentials Smoothing Whitening Bar (Pink). At first glance, I would easily assume this as an ordinary soap bar with promises like whiten skin within 7 days. Belo Whitening Soap Pink Ingredients List If you look at their ingredients carefully, you would see most are really promising. they have Kojic Acid, Arbutin, Mulberry and Glutathione to whiten skin. Salicylic acid, lactic acid, vitamin C to exfoliate. Last but not the least, Panthenol, Tocopheryl Acetate (vitamin E) and other leaf extracts to moisturize. But with the number of ingredients, does it…

Maybelline Volum’ Express Hyper Curl Cat Eye Mascara Review
I’m a Maybelline Girl! Are you? If there was one brand that I trusted since highschool, it would be Maybelline. I can remember looking for makeup I could use for prom and it was their Maybelline Gel Foundation that got me.

Now let me review one of my favorites, Maybelline Volum’ Express Hyper Curl Cat Eye Mascara! *whew* *breaks a sweat* That was long! 🙂 My favorite part of the mascara is definitely the…

BB CREAM Review: BRTC Blemish Recover Balm
Airbrushed. This was my first impression upon seeing my face after full application of BRTC’s Blemish Recover Balm. BRTC is actually one of the pioneer brands in “medicinal” types of BB Cream. It focuses more on healing rather than other benefits that several BB Cream brand’s promises such as whitening and anti-wrinkle. Are you a sampling fan? I am. It’s better to sample first to try if you skin agrees with the product rather than waste money buying full sized you won’t get to use long-term. A sample sized I got for 40php/sachet at ebay INITIAL THOUGHTS Upon trying out the BRTC Aqua Rush Water Drop BB Cream for the first time. The…
