How I Instantly Change the Way I Feel and Look!





I am one of those girls you would call "boring", "conventional", "very simple".  That's why if you follow me on IG stories, you'll see that most makeup looks I do are on the low-key version, easy-to-do, wearable for everyday and most importantly, apt for my age.

But there are days really that changing a regular MLBB shade of lipstick to something dark and vampy won't do the cut, there are days I just want to feel and look different, on days I want my photo to stand out even if I have minimal makeup on, just like the photo below.

Can you spot anything different?

Did it take long for you to see the difference?  I'm sure a lot of you already spotted it, I'm wearing colored contacts and it made a HUGE difference right?  For the particular photo, I wore AIR OPTIX® Colors in Green.

All thanks to my Beauty Blogger friend Marj Sia for pushing me to try out other shades!  I've always been the "boring" girl even with contacts!  I've used FreshLook® Illuminate Dailies in Rich Brown for several of my close-up shots because it enhances my eye shape yet it doesn't give a drastic change for you to notice!

FAB@15: Flawless’ Biggest Beauty Blowout




Who would've thought the brand you are seeing....




is turning 15 this year?

Well, it's no surprise for me because I remembered taking my mom on a date at Flawless Face and Body Clinic at least twice a month for our "mother-daughter facials bonding".

And since the company is celebrating 15 fabulous years with a whole lot of changes --- new look, innovative facial treatment, opening of 8 new locations totaling to a strong network of 45 clinics nationwide --- they "coined" this anniversary perfectly --- FAB@15.

Etude House Balm + Color Tint Review




Easy-gradient-looking lips are super in since the start of 2016.  It started with Laneige when they created their Two-Tone Lip Bars and the other brands follow.

One brand that I was expecting to come up with more two-tone lip products is Etude House, and after constantly stalking their store at LCM (Lucky Chinatown), I finally spotted the Etude House Balm + Color Tint.  The only difference is that, it is a combination of Lip Balm and Lip Tint instead of the usual lipstick.

There are a total of 5 shades in store and I picked shade 4 which is RED.  Well, it comes off reddish orange on me!

According to Etude House ---
Hydrating lip balm meets vivid color making Gradation Tint Stick easier and faster to apply.

Kyle's Healthier Baon!




When Kyle started school around June, my main concern is to be able to leave him inside the classroom without screaming his head out.  It took around 2 months for him to settle down and get used to going in and out of school, it took him almost that same amount of time to finally kiss me and say "Bye Mommy" without tears rolling down his cute cheeks.

He is indeed a growing boy now.


As a mom, the "concerns" never end!  Now, I have another challenge to tackle, making sure he eats healthily in school!  For the first few months, it was cute when he snacks on potato chips, crackers...

If You Need Serious "Control" For Your Skin!





Whenever I visit Leaders Insolution store at LCM (Lucky Chinatown), I always ask for "What's New" because I have this need to try out ALL their masks in store because it is NO surprise that Leaders Insolution is a brand of mask that my skin can finally accept and I can actually see and feel positive results!

One of the more recent line that I've tried is called the "Control Mask".  I'm not sure how they categorize as I'm no Leaders Insolution Expert.  All I know is that whenever I need to target specific needs for my skin (which changes every now and then), I rely highly on these bright masks and it isn't difficult to spot because they are housed in a bright colored packets!

Let's start with my most favorite!

Bright Control Mask
Php98.00
This works for my skin type because I have Dry skin and this is a perfect mask because it does not only hydrate, it also gives that brightening effect after every use!  

I'm not implying this mask is only for "Dry" skin, combination and oily skin can also use this because it doesn't leave your skin feeling oily.

Added tip, this is a perfect mask to try if you have dark spots around your face as this helps lighten up certain spots.
