Pink Sugar Honey, I'm Good Eyebrow Gel Review




So many eyebrow products in the market nowadays!  From inexpensive, mid-range to expensive!  I make it a point to try them all!  (I wish it's possible!)  


The phrase "To each their own" is applicable when it comes to make up.  Some may prefer the cheaper ones while others are more willing to invest on the pricier ones.  Personally speaking, I would say, as long as they work for you, go for it!


Pink Sugar recenly launched their Honey, I'm Good Eyebrow Gels.  I have tried all 3 shades and knew from the start which shade worked for me!  But for the sake of "blog review", I will be swatching all 3 shades on my brows so you can pick which one would work for you!  After months of trying, I'm finally ready to share my thoughts on these.

Tony Moly LipTone Get It Tint in Oh My Rose - A Reddish Orange Lip Color I Can Actually Wear!






I have told this too many times on my workshops, how much of an "orange lipstick-phobic" I am!  Truthfully, I may look okay for others when I wear orange lippies but I don't feel comfortable at all!  It must be my warm undertone and sallow skin that made me feel like I'm too "rusty" whenever I wear such shade.

During my last Tony Moly store visit, I was advised by the SA the top-selling shade of their newest Tony Moly Liptone Get It Tint is called Oh My Rose.  Without questions asked, without even trying out the tester, I picked it up and went straight to the cashier.

Once I got home, I went....OMG...this Oh My Rose shade doesn't look like a "rose" shade to me!  Seems like this is going to be one Reddish Orange Lip Color that I would stay away from for the rest of my life.

Seoul Train Korean BBQ Restaurant Review




If you follow all my "Weekend Food Trips", you'll know my favorite dish is....KOREAN!
So when my good friend is coming back for a short vacation, the "barkada" decided to meet up for dinner!  And it was perfect timing that our friend opened up a restaurant at Quezon City called Seoul Train Korean BBQ Restaurant.

Why Seoul Train?  Well, the answer is right at the photo below....the restaurant looks exactly like you're inside a train.


It was a rainy evening so we didn't get the chance to take an outside photo!  But trust me when I say, you won't miss it!  You'll see a cute Green Train with an extremely helpful and friendly guard to lead the way!

Now one thing you have to know is that, seating capacity is limited so it is always better to call in for reservations before you visit the restaurant.  We already have a reservations because we are a big group, but I was a bit early so I enjoyed the ambiance (with choochoo train sounds pa ha!)  while my son enjoys the arcade claw machine!



Smart Unbox Event




When Smart did a huge "rebrand" last month with the change of logo and all.  The internet went abuzz over the new logo.  I knew something is up!  That's why when I got an invite for #SmartUnbox event, I had to be there to know what my mobile provider has to offer this time.

I attended the event with fellow Smart user and Blogger friend Angela!  (Thanks Angela for the photo!) 



True enough, it was indeed an "Unboxing" event!  Upon arrival, we were each given a box to unbox and the Smart Girls were there to assist us as we were both clueless on what's happening!

It was indeed a night of learning all the slew of innovations by Smart, a company who always aims to change the way Filipinos connect.

The event was held at Shangri La at The Fort and were graced by Smart giants, meaning, the "smart" people behind Smart.

Beauty Lab Bohktoh + Nippon: Nongchat in Manila!




When it comes to Make Up Artistry, I am one firm believer that there will always be room for learning, there will always be room for improvement.

So when I learned Thai's Top Make Up Artist Nongchat is coming to Manila for a ONE DAY workshop/masterclass, I knew I had to be there.  Thanks to Nippon Esthetics and Bohktoh for sending me an exclusive invite.

The long wait was finally over, the day arrived but the bad news is, I was really sick and the weather wasn't even cooperating!  Arming myself with 101% willpower, I knew I can't miss the chance of the lifetime so I went.

The event was held at The Green Sun Hotel and you wouldn't believe how early my fellow makeup artists were!  The workshop starts at 9:00am and I arrived quarter to 8:00am and the place was almost packed with make up artists buzzing with excitement.  I almost forgot I was sick when I arrived there!


The wonderful part aside from the workshop is, the presence of sponsors.  A Pop-up is available (and open to public) for that day with exclusive discounts.
