Weekend Food Trip at Relish at Ponte

So Relish is an "It" place whenever I meet my Smart Telecom family.  That is the Makati branch and I can see they are often full!  Reservations will always be a MUST.  But truthfully, I can never really appreciate the food when I eat in a restaurant for a meeting!  Well, I guess you are so busy talking about something else you can't seem to really appreciate the food.

So when my high school friends wanted to meet up and it was at the same restaurant Relish at Ponte but at the Scout Limbaga branch, would you believe it when I say, it felt like a "First-time-Relish" dining experience?

Amazing Artichoke Dip with Pita and Tostitos

Php300.00

A must when you want an appetizer!  You don't taste the "fishy" artichoke instead, you get the right amount of cream and cheese that explodes in your mouth on every bite.

From Instagram with Love

Yes, the title is right!  Products featured here today are from Instagram shops I find really worth to mention!  A lot of you could be wary to shop online because of some bad experiences or reviews but I have found interesting products worth mentioning from Instagram sellers!  Well, they may have their own shops but I got to know them thru Instagram!

This shop is known to sell 100% proudly pinoy top quality vegan skinfood products.  From Pure Moroccan Argan Oil to Pure Vegetable Glycerin Base Soaps.  What caught my attention is their Mother's Love Soothing and Healing Balm (php280.00) best for insect bites for kids and for me, it helps relieve headache !

The Cucumber Hydrating Mist (Php160.00) is also their bestselling product.  I have tried it and loved the refreshing feel!  I just wish they change the Spritz bottle because it doesn't spritz out evenly as expected.

Another must for me as a mom is their Bug-A-Bye (Php100.00).  A mosquito repellent that is perfect to spritz under the table or on Kyle's pants whenever we are out.

Laneige Perfect Renew Regeneration Initial Thoughts

Ever since I started using "serums" as part of my daily skincare regimen (all thanks to Shiseido Ultimune!)  I have accepted the fact that I am not getting any younger and an extra boost from a serum can definitely help! 

I recently got to try Laneige's newest youth energy called the Laneige Perfect Renew Regenerator, after using 2 full weeks, I'm ready to share my initial thoughts because some of you were asking me about it when I "Snapped" it on my Snapchat account @AskMeWhats.

The main technology of Perfect Renew is called Skin Rebirth.  This is the "rejuvenating" part that increases skin metabolism.  This product also has the secret of lively and perfect younger skin called "Baby Triangle".  Imagine the dermal structure shaped of a small triangles that is only found in the surface of young and healthy skin.  It is characterized smaller and denser as the skin is younger.  So Baby Triangle is the secret to Song Hye Kyo's youthful and healthy skin!  Because as our skin ages, the "Baby Triangle" distorbs and loses its ability to protect the skin hence this product will help restore that.

W.Lab 3D Face Shading Stick Review

 By this time, I don't think I need to state a reason why contouring is an important part in makeup artistry.  It livens up your face at the same time, gives a slimming effect too!  I've written quite a number of blog posts on various contour products and I can see a trend for contouring nowadays.  Most contour products come in a form of stick!  

My recent contour stick aside from the Happy Skin one (which I recently reviewed) is from a Korean brand called W. Lab!  I got so intrigued with these brands and I picked another one from Missha (will review the Missha one next time).

The W.Lab has a highlighting stick and shading stick.  As much as I would love to pick 2 products, I went for the latter because I have enough brightening products to brighten the whole body!  *laughs*

It comes in ONE shade only.

Slendertone Women's Face Toner Review

Last year, I got my own Slendertone Women's Face Toner beauty gadget from the local distributor and I immediately tested it out.  Thankfully, they were not in a rush for review as I did tell them how much time it will take to review such product.

For the first month, I wasn't that consistent in usage so I stopped and rested and waited for the month after to review the product again.  It was the month of October 2015 where I consistently use it (twice a week to thrice a week).  And finally, after almost 5 months, I'm ready to reveal my thoughts on this product!  With photos to prove!

 

The box comes with a rechargeable hand-held control unit and and a portable head set with a pack of self-adhesive.
