My Recent HongKong Trip

Hello everyone!!!!
First of all, I want to say THANK YOU and I'm giving everyone a "virtual hug!!!!" I've reached 300+ followers and gosh! Our family is growing! Thank you so much for all the support and love..and no..this is not taken from the Oscars' speech! LOL It's just heartwarming to see such great responses, communication, comments, here...when I started blogging, I've always wanted Askmewhats to be a place where people chill and talk about what's on their mind!!! And looks like it's happening!!! THANK YOU so much!!!!

----------------------------

I know a lot of you have been asking me about the HK trip. It wasn't really a trip meant for sightseeing or shopping, it's actually a trip meant to just be there with the hubby as we don't want to be away from each other for 8 days! I've booked my trip in a whim for 4 days and we stayed at the nearby Regal Airport Hotel.

One thing I learned on this trip, it really isn't fun SHOPPING and traveling alone! As I spent most of the mornings and afternoons wandering the streets of HK alone as the hubby has to work! And it's really difficult to stay in a hotel near the airport, if you want to take a rest midday or take a nap....you can't!!! As the Airport hotel is located really far from the city center!

Before I go further, the hotel is great though! It's the best place to stay if you just plan to stay overnight as it's just 10 minutes walk away from the Airport, there's a bridge connecting the airport to this hotel!!!

Regal Airport Hotel, HK

I love to rest my legs
on this glass table!

Yes, I did take the photo of the washroom



I like how simple their toiletries are

The overall experience of Regal Airport Hotel is wonderful. Their staffs are friendly and nice! The hotel is quite huge and the swine flu scare didn't even bother me because they've been diligent in checking your temperature everytime you pass through the hotel entrance!

How's HK you say? Gosh!!! It was the weekend of Dragon Boat Festival so the streets are jampacked and sales are almost everywhere!!! Sogo mall also celebrates it's 24th year anniversary so the whole mall is on sale!!!!

People....I am the queen of walk, the queen of shopping, but gosh!!! I nearly lost the senses on my legs and feet from all the walking!!! You have to line up and wait for your table even at Starbucks!!!!

Here's the busy MAC store at Sogo Branch
Love their friendly staffs!
And yes, I shopped here... twice!



And here are some ninja shots

Random sponges and applicators



Here you can purchase
samples from different skincare or cosmetics

You'd think I shopped a lot? No, I shopped mostly for gifts, friends and family gifts so I won't post it here as it's meant to be given to them! :) I will post what I bought for myself..or shall I say, for my collection. I've bought a dark and light MAC SF Liquid Foundation. NC50 and NC20. I also bought SELECT Sheer Pressed powder and MAC Blot powder. Yes, they're all going straight to the traincase! :)

Bought a couple of face masks!
I've seen lovely Yumeko's post
about the Kose mask, I chose Collagen
for my super dry skin! :)
And I also included random masks!

Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler Back up
Lancome Bifacil <-- finally!
Lancome Magnifique travel scent :)

A lot of Korean lashes!
I love how close they look like
The Face Shop XLH falsies
I should have bought more!!!!!

What do I do if I miss the hubby? We chat!!! Thanks to technology we were able to see each other no matter how far apart we are!

I have a reader asking me to write about HK, if you have any questions, I'm in no way an expert in this place but I do know some!!! Shoot me an email or comment for questions if you have any.

But my dear friend Paris B. wrote a wonderful post on shopping in HK. Smile and click HERE to go to her site! :)

Thanks for reading my short travel experience!
Have a wonderful day!

I Wonder: "What's your Blush for the Week?"

Blushes --- one thing I almost "never" bothered! I'll go for any blush I find because I know it'll be gone before midday! Why bother right?

But there's one blush that I've used consistently for the whole week! I can't believe I will have my own favorite blush! That makes you wonder right?

Scroll down and you'll know soon!

Natural Flush
Natural Glow
Not an obvious "blush"

My favorite blush for the moment!
Mineraux Beach Tan Bronzer!
Yes, it's a bronzer but I officially made it
My blush for the week!



When swatched,
it doesn't show up much

I like it that I can build the color by dusting it more on my cheeks, I like how subtle it looks and it lasts for half a day! I've tried using this with an angled brush, dome blush brush and even my fan brush, it all works pretty well! Just smile and dust lightly on the apples of your cheeks.....Inner glow.

Mineraux Beach Tan Bronzer
10g - Php330 (approx $7.00)
email: info@mineraux.com.ph
call or text: 63.917.887.0760

What's your favorite blush/bronzer for the week?
The blush that you're reaching out for the past days!
Spill the beans baby!
I 'd like to know! :)

Nail Art Tutorial: "Frosted Taro" Nails

Happy Tuesday everyone! Monday passed by quickly so I think this week will pass by without any problems! AYE???

Nail art tutorial! Yay!!! I've been lazy with my nails recently as my last nail art as seen here was sported for 2 weeks! Yes it survived 2 weeks with just a small chip on my left pinkie finger! :)

Some of my readers are sweet enough to email to to request for more gradient nails. I am personally fond of gradient nails as I love combining different colors to come out something unique! This isn't very unique but it's something I would sport on a daily basis :) Hope you like this!

Step 1:

Apply a base coat to protect your nails. Apply 2 coats of platinum polish. I am using ELF's.

Step 2:
Drop a thick polish of light purple color, using a brush, brush it downward towards you. Do this as quickly as possible

Step 3:

Drop a darker purple polish color on the tip of your nails and do the same downward strokes.

Step 4:

Drop 2 lines of white dots, do as many dots as you like. You can make this vertical, horizontal, or in my case, slanting.

Step 5:

Draw 5 bigger dots of Pink nail art pen, use a needle method to create a flower

Step 6:

Apply rhinestone in the middle of the flower to create a sparkly flower bud.

Step 7:

Top everything with a silver glitter polish.

Step 8:

Apply top coat, sit back, let dry, and relax :D

Enjoy your "taro" looking nails

If you wonder where I get my rhinestones?
I do have them available in my Prettynails Shop
Thanks so much for being a part of my daily beauty habit! :)
Hope Tuesday treats everyone fine!

Keep smilin'
Stay Happy!
