How To Fix Untamed Brows with Maybelline MasterBrow Pencil

Expectation ---  Filling or drawing your well-manicured brows.
Reality --- THIS!



As much as we all want our Instagram-worthy brows to stay that way forever, that won't happen because we are mortals!  Our brows grow and look crazy from time to time!  Just like mine!

With my busy schedule, brow shaping (threading, brow wax) will always be scheduled and there will definitely be days I want to hide my brows under my bangs because they are just too messy and...errr...ugly!  Today (well not today!  My brows are super nice now but the day I took this photo!)  is the perfect time for me to show you how I would normally "draw" or "fix" my brows and wait for the countdown until my next brow session!  Surprisingly, the more "unfixed" my brows are, the least brow products I use!  I just don't feel like piling on brow products when they aren't in shape!

NYX Matte Bronzer Powder (Dark Tan) Review

I have always mentioned that a Bronzer is one of my favorite and no-brainer blush shade.  Truth be told, on days I don't feel like looking I have a blush on, I pick a bronzer and apply it on the apples of my cheeks and voila!  Instant healthy-looking skin in less than 30 seconds!  So when I got NYX Matte Bronzer in Dark Tan, I knew this is my to-go-to summer blush shade and mind you, I won't even try to make this my contour powder --- let's not even go there!

Tony Moly LipTone Get It Tint Water Bar 05 Plum in Purple Review

I am IN LOVE with Purple Lipsticks nowadays!  It all started when I tried Inglot's Berry Obsession Shade 293 and Too Cool For School Hot Girl Lip Sticker in Blazing Purple.  So when I visited my favorite Tony Moly branch at Lucky Chinatown (the SA there is super friendly I love her!), I got intrigued to try the newest lip color line called LipTone Get It Tint Water Bar. 

So how is it different with the usual lipsticks?

According to the SA, this Tint Water Bar contains 40% hydration for cool absorption on the lips.  As compared to other lip tints, the version of Tony  Moly is different in terms of pigmentation. 

Weekend Food Trip at Mak Chang Restaurant

Funny how I do some research on my own Blog and realized I've dined in the same restaurant (different branch)!  It was exactly 4 years ago when I first dined at a Korean Restaurant at Ermita called Mak Chang!  Fast forward to today, we've decided to go for an authentic Korean dish because...we missed Korean food!  We went for Mak Chang Korean Restaurant this time at the Diosdado Macapagal Branch.  

The restaurant is a bigger yet the set up is exactly the same as their mother branch.  (Read about my experience at Mak Chang Ermita in this blog post)

Because we were extremely hungry!  We've decided to go for 2 orders of Pork Galbi (Php300.00/ order) and 1 order of Samkyupsal (Php300.00)

Are You Ready for Summer Nails?

I have been obsessed with Nail Polishes for the past 2 decades!  Yes, I was in-the-know with what's-hot and what's-not for the digits as early as Freshman High!  Of course, we weren't allowed to wear polishes back then but I remembered getting really exciting during summer season as I can freely experiment on different shades of polishes on all 10 fingers!  (Yes, I tried wearing 10 different colors for 10 fingers!)  Who says I am conservative?  :P

One of the first polish brand I've tried is Caronia, and I'm happy to say, they are coming up with better colors and BETTER finish!  The Caronia Popsicle Collection reminds me so much of my favorite ...uhm.. Popsicle!  I may not be off to a beach this summer or enjoy travel with friends like I normally do, that doesn't mean I can't enjoy the heat!  How? By adding a pop of color on my n ails!

L-R Caronia Brain Freeze, Lemon Cool, Peach Perfect and Tequila Sunrise

All four shades are obviously inspired by the shades of summer --- ice cream and happy food!  There are 2 glossy finish and 2 matte finish!  Tequila Sunrise and Brain Freeze are matte finish while the rest are glossy!  I personally love Peach Perfect on days I want to look "chill" while if i want to add a pop of color, I'd go for Brain Freeze!
