How to Contour Using Missha Soft Blending Stick Blusher (Mud Brown)

If you are a makeup lover, you probably mastered the art of contouring!  But, do you know that you can also contour using a stick blusher?  YES!  I've found a nice alternative when I was shopping at Althea website and found a Missha Soft Blending Stick Blusher!  I'm not sure if this is supposed to be a "blusher" but I find the shade 05 Mud Brown to be a perfect contour stick for me!

Tadah!  Indeed, very natural-looking and can be applied on a daily basis!

Tony Moly Bam Bam Tint Delight Review and How To Use

Lipstick Monday!  I stay true to what I do and it seems like I'm really gearing towards lip products on a Monday!  Today, I am sharing (yet another) powder lipstick product!  This time, from the country where gradient lip trend is most popular --- Korea!  The brand?  Tony Moly!

The product is called Tony Moly Bam Bam Tint Delight!

Checking out online, there are a total of 5 shades and I picked the darkest among the five which is shade 05 or Rosy Red.

Weekend Food Trip at: King Chef LCM

I "blogged" about the Grand Launch of King Chef Fine Dining 5 years ago.  From then on, I can't count the times we returned the restaurant!  And since we're always "weekly" at LCM (Lucky Chinatown), I find myself bringing the whole family there!  Not only do they serve good food, the ambience is perfect for a family with toddler!  (Kyle can shout on top of his lungs and no one would mind!) :P

And because I've dined in this restaurant so many times (My parents' anniversary dinner was also held here), I've decided to create a post for First-Time King Chef customers on what to order on your first visit!  

Keep in mind that this is based on my personal opinion!  King Chef serves variety of dishes and these 4 are on my top list!

Seafood with Spinach Soup

Small Php280.00

Why spinach?  Well, I've tried a lot of spinach soup from various restaurants and this has got to be the best I've tried so far!  Even our Househelp who dislikes the color and dislikes Spinach went for second serving!  A good amount of chopped shrimps and spinach bits that doesn't have the "leafy" taste, this deserve 2 thumbs up!

Barbecued Asado

Approx Php200.00

Barbecued Asado are available in ALL Chinese restaurants.  One of the best I've tried is from TOHO (Ongpin) but this definitely deserves an "order" from you!  The pork isn't dry, though you don't see a lot of sauce there, each bite is very tender and juicy!  And let's not go into the taste, it definitely has this smoked barbecue taste!

AskMeMom: Little Archers PlayCare Review

So we are now on the stage of choosing the best Learning Center for my son.  It's summer, so it's perfect timing to try out some summer classes before the actual class by the start of schoolyear.  Truth be told, as much as possible, I try not to put pressure on Kyle too much, he's always been a learner, always ready to study with mommy and always excited to read books with me!  So when it comes to choosing his "preschool" I am opting for a class that combines learning and fun!

Thanks to Marv De Leon of Freelance Blend for introducing me to Little Archers Learning Center (LALC).  With his suggestion, I went ahead and took Kyle for a trial class!  I actually went for PlayCare and photos below were from our 2nd class.

Kojie San Lightening Range

I've always shy away from whitening products, I mean, you would probably agree with me at this very moment.  But, after 3 years of being a mom spending more than half of those 3 years staying on the floor down on my hands and knees, I'm starting to realize 2 things ---

1. I'm a great toddler play partner and...
2. Staying down on the floor can darken my elbows and knees!

So as much as I don't want to admit it, I'm starting to see dark spots on parts of my body and knew I had to do something before it's too late!   

Thankfully, as a Beauty Blogger, I get exposed to different brands of skincare products.  One lightening range that I recently get to know of is a brand called Kojie San.  Kojie San is known for their Kojic Acid Soap, I have tried the soap in the past and remembered being surprised on how it effectively lighten my skin.

Fast forward to today, the brand (that was born 2007) has expanded their Lightening Range.
