Weekend Food Tripping at: Mesa Steak Sizzlers

I am not a rice eater. But if it's sizzling plate, give me the rice! :)
If you are in a hurry and you want a quick meal that's affordable and serves really fast! Go for sizzling plates available on most food court in every mall!


Mesa Steak Sizzlers, located at the Trinoma Mall, I would say it's not the best! But if fills my tummy well :)

Salisbury Burger Steak
Php75.00 (approx $1.60)

I moved the egg for you to see If I eat sizzling,
I go for the Salisbury burger steak!




Me and hubby loves to share our food
So he chose

Beef Tapa
Php90.00 (approx $1.88)

Did you know that?

Tapa means "dried or cured meat", the meat are usually prepared in thin slices of meat and cure it with salt and spices as a method of preserving it. Tapa is best fried or grilled, often served with rice, fried egg with some vegetables.

I also went to HBC (a local beauty store) and saw they have polishes on sale. Most of the polishes ranges from Php34.00-36.00 (approx $0.71 - $0.75). I saw they were all priced Php25.00 (approx $0.52). I have never tried San San nail polish so I mentally thought about my polish collection and chose mostly frosted polish colors :) I can't wait to use them! I hope they're good!

L-R No. 59, No. 56, No. 22 and No. 14

I also got a surprise package this morning!
2 Makeup Masala Gel Liners!

Please wait for my review soon!
(Thanks Toma!!!)

Happy weekend everyone!

I Wonder: "When was the last time you saw your dentist?"

**photo courtesy of Dreamstime

We always talk about skincare, haircare and loads of topic about cosmetics.
And I've always been a "Keep On Smiling" ambassador!
I went to the dentist today, and it took me 2 hours! Yes, 2 hours to have my teeth cleaned!
I thought I take care of my teeth, I brush them 3 times a day!
Gosh, I just learned that I was super mean to my teeth and gums!!!

My teeth and gum history ---

• I have retainers on my lower teeth, which should be adjusted a year ago LOL
• I have complete set of teeth
  
• My teeth are super small, like a baby
• Everytime I brush my teeth, my gums bleed
• I don't floss everyday, because of the bleeding problem
• I do gargle, but not consistently

I went to my dentist today to have it cleaned, and boy oh boy! I was bleeding mad! I have a mild case of gingivitis and I need to take vitamin C. My dentist was kind enough and even apologizes everytime I flinch, it's not even her fault but I swear, I can donate blood because my gums kept on producing them!!! hahaha

Seriously, after the 2-hour cleaning, I went straight to a local beauty store and I pledge to myself to be a changed woman!

Here's what I did ---

• bought a new toothbrush, I made sure to buy the EXTRA SOFT bristles
• I bought dental floss
• Bought alcohol free mouthwash as my gum are too sensitive for strong alcohol content of some mouthwash
  
• Bought a new toothpaste, yes PYODONTYL and for inexpensive alternative GUMTECT, it's you and me!

This hit me, how can we pretty
if our set of teeth are not healthy?
That's why I have to ask you this....

"When was the last time you had your dental check?"

This is a reminder post
because I care!
Stay Happy!

Askmewhats Reviews: MAC Mineralized SkinFinish Light

Finally! I have my own MAC Mineralize SkinFinish Foundation! I am religiously using this to top my BB cream or to retouch my face midday :) Time for a review!!!

MAC Mineralized SkinFinish Natural says ---

A luxurious domed face powder with minerals, slowly baked to provide a dimensional yet natural-matte finish. Provides perfect low coverage. Use to set and fix foundation or as a touch-up throughout the day.

Ingredients:

Talc, Nylon-12, Dimethicone, Polysorbate 20, Isopropyl Palmitate, Jojoba Seed Oil, Yeast Extract, Tocopheryl Actetate, Retinyl Plamitate, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Magnesium Aluminium Silicate, BHT, Sodium Dehydroacetate, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Propylparaben, Butylparaben

Askmewhats says ---

Pros

• natural looking
• very smooth to the skin
• no matter how many times I touch up, does not cake on me
• gives out a dewy look
• does not create a white cast
  

Cons

• not the best pal for oil control
  
• packaging, I would prefer if they have a small compartment for a small brush or puff, not everyone have the retractable brush to carry along
• the powder tends to scatter when you use a powder, it messes up the case (OC-ness in me, sorry)
  
• a bit pricey for a setting powder, but it lasts long
  

Overall

MAC Mineralized SkinFinish Natural is the answer for people who likes to re-touch in the middle of the day. This is perfect for someone who likes natural or sheer coverage that doesn't feel heavy on warm days.

I actually carry this along with me everyday for the "re-touching". I've used this to my friends as well and it blends in to their skin color immediately!!! Do not expect coverage, again, this is a nice setting powder!

Tips

• use a retractable kabuki for retouch as the retractable one doesn't get exposed to dirt
• DO NOT DROP THIS! This is a very delicate product and can easily crack
  
• if you have super oily skin: Go for the MAC Studio Fix foundation for touch ups
• for light to medium coverage: Use this alone over a moisturizer or tinted moisturizer
• for medium to heavy coverage: use this over liquid foundation and concealer
  

Will I repurchase?

Yes, because of my dry skin, I am looking for touch up powders that do not dry up my skin :) I still love my P&J Dual Powder Foundation, but on days that I don't need a lot of coverage, this is the one! :)

Where did I purchase and how much?

At local MAC store for Php1,500 (approx $30.00)

The MAC SA told me the right color for me is LIGHT
I agree, this disappears on my skin

Here's how Light looks like on my finger

This is my first MAC MSF!
It was a happy experience! :)
Do you think this will work for you?
Are you using one?
Tell me!
Have a great weekend people of the world!
Stay happy! :D

Honest Scrap Award

tagged by Sis Aika from The Diary of Recessionista

I like Aika for being who she is, for not being scared to go out of the box and write and do what she thinks will make her feel good :) That's what you call... A TRUE INDIVIDUAL :)

As the recipient of this Honest Scrap Award comes with some requirements before I can pass this along to another fellow blogger. Quoting from Aika's blog, here are the requirements:

“When accepting this auspicious award, you must write a post bragging about it, including the name of the misguided soul who thinks you deserve such acclaim, and link back to the said person so everyone knows she/he is real. Choose a minimum of seven (7) blogs that you find brilliant in content or design. Or improvise by including bloggers who have no idea who you are because you don’t have seven friends. Show the seven random victims’ names and links and leave a harassing comment informing them that they were prized with Honest Weblog. Well, there’s no prize, but they can keep the nifty icon. List at least ten (10) honest things about yourself. Then pass it on!”

here are the 10 honest things about me:

1. I am a super sweet person, a "huggy" type
2. I hate tardiness, I am an early bird! I hope I catch the right kind of worm *winks*
3. I take care of my friends like they are my family! Yes, I sound like their mom at times!...ehm..most of the time!
   
4. I am an overall actress! I act, I sing, I dance ... teehee I joined singing contests, I was a cheerleader and I was the Directress for our school Drama Club! Oh yeah, I was an editor in our school paper too! NERD! hahaha
   
5. No vices ... AT ALL! (told you I'm boring)
6. I am super honest with my opinions, if I say you look good, YOU REALLY LOOK GOOD! If you ask me for advises, be prepare to hear an honest advise from me!
   
7. I am a crybaby! I can't even get angry, if I'm super angry, I cry!!! (embarrassing!)
8. I can have a decent conversation with anyone ages 0-100! lol In short, I LOVE TALKING!
   
9. I am super emphatic, I am serious when I say I know how the person feels. I can be a bit of a psychic by being able to read person's feelings and thoughts (don't start asking me for horoscopes! LOL)
10. Crazy!!! I am seriously crazy and can ride along with any jokes you throw at me!!!
    

I know this is a tag and I should tag fellow bloggers. I'm not tagging anyone because I want this to be voluntary, I know some people are not comfortable sharing private matters.

So ..if you want to do this, feel free and let me know!!! I'd love to read it!!!

Thanks again Aika for this tag!
I enjoyed this!
Stay happy! :)
