My Hubby's New Baby

Finally!!! My dear hubby Keith who is a "die hard" photography fan FINALLY!!! After years of research bought himself a new SLR camera! Woohoo!!! The supportive husband finally had his time to shine!!! I am so happy for him!!! I was the li'l angel (or devil) who was pushing him to buy the new camera for him to fulfill his dreams of being a pro-photographer!

Here's the new Canon 40D...

Here's how his baby looks like up close..awww..isn't he handsome?

Side by side with an oldie "film" camera. (not sure the series)
but the good part?
Both lenses can be used to each other!!!!



See? Cameras do know how to "cam whore" too!!!

I am so happy for him!
He's been super supportive to me on my dream on being a make-up artist.
Now, I have the chance to be supportive to him!!! Yay!!!!
I seldom see him want something so badly..
well.except for..Laptop..mobile phone...accckk!!! His likings are sooo expensive!

Now..we have to save up for those accessories!
Darn! it's not only Make-up that's expensive!

Have a great day everyone!

The Face Shop Nail Polish in RD301

** available at TFS (The Face Shop) for Php99.00 (approx USD2.50)

I originally bought this Face Shop nail polish in bloody red color for my mom! Yup, for those who didn't know. Your askmewhats aside from loving make-up and cutting other people's hair, I do pedicures and manicures as well. But not on a professional level, I'm doing this for my mom and myself so that we don't need to spend too much on manicures and pedicures.

Anyways, it's been some time now that the nail artist has done by nails. I am itching for a new color and she just doesn't have the time to come over and help me out with my nails. So, I've finally decided, (note: the lazybone loves doing nails for others but hates to do my own hehehe) I have decided to use this bloody red color which isn't even on my list of favorite nail polish color :)

Well well, I finally did and I'm loving it! I've used different nail polish brands and so far...the Face Shop (TFS) lives to my expectation. The color is super nice, easy to apply and it's super shiny!!!! Love it!!! Love it together with my favorite SANUK sandals which is black (such great contrast).

Wait for it as it'll be coming out soon on my next post!....
somewhere...somehow...you'll see it .... *winks*

Askmewhats Reviews: Revlon Bare It All

**click to enlarge

Revlon Bare It all Lustrous Powder is part of the Limited Edition Collection. I got this last year but after months, I can still see them selling this at Revlon Stands. I bought mine in Pink-a-boo which is light, very shimmery and barely Pink color.

Revlon Says ---

Accent your allure! A whisper of lightly illuminated radiance delicately accents your face or body. Feather-light, loose powder formula provides subtle illumination while letting your skin shine through. Feminine puff applicator with dainty satin bow caresses skin with seductive color. Dust over face for a light veil of soft illumination or use to subtly highlight the décolleté. Available in a range of 4 softly lit shades to complement a range of skin tones.


Askmewhats says ---

Pros

• lustrous, shimmery, glitters are not huge
• easy to apply
  
• puff is soft and can easily apply to larger areas like your arms, neck, shoulder areas
• lasts
  

Cons

• a bit messy, when sealed, it can still be scattered around the puff and every time you pull out the puff, a lot of shimmery powders will be wasted (refer to the photo above)
  
• puff is hard to wash, it doesn't dry easily
• doesn't come cheap almost Php1,000

Askmewhats Tips

• Use a powder brush instead of puff that comes together with this product for hygiene purpose
• Put some on this lustrous powder on top of the Mineral Veil (for MMU users), finishing powders, or even your pressed powders before retouching to create a fresh glowy look.
• Apply this just below your eyes to create a glowy/awake look
  

I personally am not a shimmery powder user.
But this would do great especially on days you have to wear a strapless dress or a spaghetti strapped gown. Gently pat it all over your body and you'll look great!

Will I repurchase?
No for now, still have a whole lot left!

Weekend Food Tripping at: La Maison

My high school friend Carol will be leaving for a job in Singapore for good. We just had to meet up for a mini reunion to bid her "Bon Voyage". What's a good reunion but to have a good meal?

This is a restaurant we never tried and it's great to try out something new. We arrived a bit late..hehehe so it shows with our food pictures as most of them are either half-eaten or was touched! So sorry for the bad food presentation. *blushes*

Here's a photo of their really interesting bread. A normal bread and the black bread is made of "Squid Ink". Hahaha don't worry, it sounds and looks gross but it tastes like regular bread :)

Next is the Aglio Olio Barkada (Php290.18 approx $7.00) (this is white spaghetti made with Olive Oil)

The next picture is called the Seafood marinara Barkada, (Php325.89, approx $7.50) by the way, to non Tagalog speakers out there, Barkada means PEER, group of friends, when you see Barkada in any menu, it just means good for sharing

Oooh I'm embarrassed with this next picture..hahaha this is supposed to be the Paradise Fish Barkada, (php482.14 or approx $11.00) fried fish with yummy tartar sauce.

Last but not the least, this is their yummy Baby Back Barkada. (Php696.43 or approx $16.00) I am not a rib eater but this one is so juicy and the serving is quite big and it's cheap!

Overall, we had a lovely dinner and all the food in this restaurant is affordable and their staffs are super friendly and helpful!!! We will definitely come back.

Here's a photo of the girls after a hearty meal! :)
