Which Make Up Sample Is Making You Say "I'm Buying Full Size!" ?



We all agree, we love samples!  But just how many samples have you tried in which you ended up buying full size?  At the top of my head, I would say 1%?  Truth be told, I find samples to be extremely useful!  BUT, just how many times do I get impressed with just a tiny sample?  Almost never!  But one day, as I was rummaging through my "samples basket" (yes girls!  I have one!), I chanced upon Etude House's Fresh Cherry Tint, I had like 3 small sachets of those from an event and I knew it won't give me any impact because ---

1.  I can only use this sachet once because I'm too lazy to tape it or staple it to reuse the remaining content.
2. Etude House never comes to mind when we talk about "Tints", I have a feeling it'll look too fake and bright on me.

Then THIS HAPPENED.....

Okay, you don't have to love the result on photo but my husband does!  So this definitely deserves ONE BLOG POST!

Note from author: This product is meant to be used on lips but I used on both cheeks and lips!

So which particular shade caught your attention?
I'd say they all gave me that ultimate shine I can't seem to choose!  Yes darlings, that's the newest Revlon Ultra HD Lip Lacquer which I recently got and have been using for the past weeks!  Without giving much thought, I would say these lip lacquers are extremely photograph-friendly!  My lips look luscious, soft and beautiful!  (Okay, I got the guts to say so because you can't touch my lips right now! hahaha)

Inglot Stick Foundation Review


I am one of the many few who tend to skip foundation because it isn't exactly easy to apply especially when you only have a couple of minutes to do your make up during day time.  Stick foundations may be the solution to this problem but for people with dry skin (ahem, ME!),  I tend to shy away from this type of foundation because I am scared of the drying effect.

Enter Inglot Stick Foundation, the newest foundation stick from the brand that literally gives me the "no make up look" I want minus Dryness.

Blooming Face Make Up Using Purple Tags Oval Brush and Proud Mary BB Cream



If you are a beauty junkie like me, you've probably seen the "toothbrush-like" face brush that originally came from MAC Masterclass Oval Face Brush no. 6 and other brands are coming up with their own!  This is my first Oval Face Brush so I won't be able to compare this with other brands (for now) but let me share my overall experience and if YOU need this in your life.

Cauliflower Fritters Recipe



I was holding 3 bouquet of Cauliflowers and I don't know what to do with them!  I mean they are delicious right?  But I wanted to reinvent cauliflower since my sister-in-law will be dining here and she's not a fan of this vegetable.

I know it seems tedious but the taste is totally worth it!  I searched for ingredients in the kitchen and decided to come up with "Cheesy and Corny" Cauliflower Fritters (pun intended). And it was a huge success!!!

On the side is something healthier, Tinolang Manok (Chicken soup with green papaya and Chili leaves).
