Weekend Food Tripping at: Emperor's Dimsum & Teahouse + A new Palette

Hey there!  Happy weekend food tripping to everyone!  Over the weekend, it was quite busy and I was tired so we've decided to try on something warm, TEA!  There's a new Dimsum and Teahouse place at Wilson Street San Juan, it was right in front of the DEC, where I buy Chinese Delicacies for take out!

The restaurant gives out a warm ambiance, a restaurant good for family gatherings! The place is obviously new and people are definitely intrigued to try this new place right in front of the famous DEC, Diao Eng Chai , where I purchase the famous fresh lumpia and chicken pie!

The place is tastefully decorated and there are cute photos of Chinese emperors on the sides of the room :)

 

 

Fried Squid in Salt and Pepper

Php265.00 (approx $5.71)

There's something different with the vinegar they use, it's not a regular vinegar taste, I think they mixed it with something which made it totally different.  The Fried Squid are quite small though as compared to other restaurants but they are soft enough to chew.

 

Sate HongKong Noodles

Php220.00 (approx $4.78)

I love Sate Noodles at Chinatown area, I was having high hopes for this noodles because I've been craving for this for months!  I am a bit disappointed as this was served on a sizzling plate which made the noodles taste different, a bit burnt in my opinion and the noodles are too oily! 

 

House Tea

Free

Glad they got this wonderful hot green tea to warm up my tummy and remove the oily taste inside my mouth!  I will definitely go back to this restaurant and try their other dishes, its out fault, we didn't order well! lol

Before I end this post, I just want to let you know that I received my own 88pcs Neutral Eyeshadow palette from Dollface Cosmetics, shipping was a flash and the package was packed super well so I got everything in piece!  Thanks Pearl for the great service.  I will use this and do a review on this soon!  Swatches will be shown too!

AMW Reports: CK Free Press Launch

CK Scents has always been an integral part in my Scent-history!  I've used the worldwide famous CK One that moved on to CK Be both are Unisex fragrances!  Then comes a new fragrance that recently launched and this time, it is for the special "men" in our lives!

CKFREE for Men speaks Casual, Spontaneous and Confidence!

CKFree, inspired by the spirit of the modern, independent man who lives everyday to the fullest, he has nothing to prove, he's cool, relaxed and free-sprited!  He does what he wants and is in control of his own destiny!  Sounds like my own "Man"!

 

The event was held at BMW Autohaus Libis and it was graced with lovely looking people confident enough to strut around with the new CK fragrance.

 

And of course, there's me, "trying" to look as confident as ever holding the "I am Free to Be Fabulous" board.  Of course there's always going to be a smiley face!

It was such a nice event and I enjoyed how intimate the gathering is and it was great to see a friend after years!  Vianca Tan for Shiseido, you look fabulous!  It was great seeing you!

 

The  event is filled with beautiful and confident faces, what caught my attention even more?  The new BMW Z4 Roadster!!! *sigh*

 

Now let's check that "sexy back"

I hear ya Justin Timberlake!

 

Thanks Ms. Ella Reyes, Sr. Product Manager for Coty Fragrances, for inviting me to this event!  Thanks to the lovely people of LuxAsia for being such a great host!

Something New: The Skin Specialist Clinic

 

To those girls out there who loves going to facials or whatever facial treatments!  There's something new around the block!  There's a new professional dermatology services that won't bleed your paycheck dry with the opening of the Skin Specialist Clinic located in Timog, Quezon City!

The Skin Specialist Clinic is known to be a warm, relaxed and well-designed haven where you can experience personalized and professional skin care treatments.  It provides a wide range of modern, non-invasive skin services that can be customized based on patient's needs, and of course, I was told that rates are most reasonable (I will definitely check this out for everyone on this!). 

 

I know my sister will definitely enjoy the facials but with a kid around, I'm sure she'll bail out on me!  But the good news is, there is a toddler room to assure moms undergoing treatments that their kids will be entertained and well taken care of!  So, she's got no more excuses!!!

 

Dr. Jean, the same dermatologist I got to know at the Rexona Event, and her team offer treatments and services which address various skin concerns such as acne scars, wrinkles, stretch marks, keloid, excessive sweating, freckles, varicose and spider veins, warts, pigmentation problems, cellulite, skin tags, syringoma, sebaceous hyperplasia and seborrheic kerotoses.

For more information please call 02-3748087, 02-4077210, and 02-7941317 or log on to www.drjeanskinspecialist.com.  The Skin Specialist Clinic is located at ESNA Bldg. #30 Timog Avenue, QC Philippines.

I have a confession to make, I am wary when it comes to people touching my skin!  I've had facials way back but it's always been with a certified dermatologist!  So here we go!  I'll probably check this place out together with my mom and sis within next month and will report to everyone on my experience! :)  Please pray my mom gets better by then!!!

Wish me luck!  Seriously, I need a "me" time!

I Wonder: "Your Favorite Blush Brush for the Natural Flush?"

Blush brush makes a huge difference in blush application!  Different blush texture needs different types of blush brush!  For work, I've always been a fan of a "naturally flush" look, a look that screams "In Love" kind of blushing!  There's one brush that I've been reaching out for the "romantic cheeks" look.  I've had this brush for more than a year!  Check out my review by smiling and clicking here!

 

My favorite Natural Blush Brush is Thevi Dome Blush Brush. It works because the brush hairs are firm yet not too stiff nor scratchy!  It picks up the right amount of pigment for the apples of my cheeks!  I've been religiously spritzing this with Brush Cleanser and deep cleanse this over weekend, it stays like the first time I had it!  No falling hairs, none scratchy and the fluff is still there!

 

Now, you tell me!
"What's your favorite blush brush 

that gives out a natural blush look?"

AMW Revisits: Coastal Scents Bent liner Brush

I've reviewed Coastal Scents White Angled Liner Brush early this year!  I had this brush for more than 10 months and it's time for me to do a revisit.  It's not on a happy note...take a look at this...

And this was how the brush originally looked like

 

I still use it at the moment if I want to create a thicker line!  I am actually patient and tried to make this work and extend this life, but I have a feeling I will let this brush retire soon!  It doesn't hurt me much because this brush costs only $2.19!  Well of course, shipping isn't included but it's ok!  Nothing to lose sleep about! 

 

Do you own a CS White Angled Liner Brush?
Is it still okay or do you also need to use a flat iron to iron the flyaways?
