Cathy Doll Shocking Black Liner 24H Review




So, I've always been dependent on a good liquid liner for daily use because it just gives an "oomph" to my boring eyes.  When Cathy Doll was officially launched in the Philippines (hosted by yours truly), one of the first few makeup items I was so intrigued to try was there Shocking Black Liner!

The Shocking Black Liner is housed in a sleek black pen, what sets this apart from other brands is their "metallic pink" wordings that makes it easier to spot on a drawer-full of make up!

Happy First Birthday Althea! Unboxed my Althea Birthday Box!




When Althea went live here in the Philippines, I was one of the lucky "few" who got the chance to shop for new and upcoming brands known in Korea!  Thankfully, all my Althea "online shopping experiences" were wonderful so I don't mind browsing their site every once in awhile to check out new and trendy items!

Who would've thought it has already been 1 full year of me stalking their site, it has been ONE FULL YEAR of me getting to know more about Korean Beauty and Skincare products?

Let me be the first few too to say: "Happy 1st Birthday Althea!"

After constantly shopping at Althea, I got a surprise "different" box this time!  With the same "pink color palette", it has a couple of cute balloons printed on the box!  Also, inside the kit, I also got a DIY Party KIT (hint: A party hat that I used on the first photo)

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!
