Weekend Food Trip at: Boon Tong Kee, SM Mall of Asia

Boon Tong Kee, just the name of the restaurant automatically transported me to my Singapore trip a couple of years ago!  

Singapore is known for their Hainanese chicken but would you believe I'm not a fan of it?  *hahaha  So please don't judge me if you don't see a Hainanese chicken post here!  I guess I grew up in a family where we "almost" always have Hainanese chicken on the table (whole one) whenever we have special gatherings!  So I'm not being snob, I'm just maximizing what I don't get to eat when I was younger  *laughs*

Located at SM Mall of Asia (there are several branches opened), we were hungry after Kyle's school so we went for what's fast and available.

Roast Pork Rice Topping

A great dish!  I would go back to order this crunchy Roast Pork (similar to Pork Liempo).  

Charsiu Rice 

Honey glazed pork but found mostly fats which are okay to some but not to us!  I wish they serve this with more sauce and flavor!

Kanebo Skincare and Makeup Launch

Kanebo has always been around for quite some time, way back before I started Blogging.  I knew maybe a snippet of their skincare product/s or maybe some bestselling makeup.  It was only last week, I really get up and close not only with Kanebo as the Company but also Kanebo as the brand.  Best part, we also get to play with various skincare and makeup products and get to know the people behind Kanebo Philippines.

Are you ready to be indulged with photos and some swatches?

Little did you and me know, Kanebo is actually a COMPREHENSIVE cosmetics brand with a core skincare line based on Chrono beauty.

Kanebo provides treatment at the optimal time for Skincare while their makeup line surpasses trends and time to create beauty for each individual.  

During the launch, I was exposed with Kanebo's new package designs.  For the Skincare, the design focus on FLOW.  Meaning, the line is meant to bring us continuously moisturized skin each day, month year and your entire life.

As for makeup, the package design focuses on "GLOW".  So you'll definitely see a lot of products enhancing our skin's natural glow.

Guerlain is Now Available at Sephora!

My life is on a fast lane.  As much as I would love to spend time inside makeup stores like I used to "swatching" on my favorite lipstick shade  (try online swatch instead with the Sephora Virtual Artist), blush or choosing the right foundation shade for me, I can't seem to do so.  So makeup shopping is almost non-existent in my vocabulary.

I can't even try out clothes in department stores because my son would knock heavily at the door and goes in just to play with me!  And with that adorable face?  I always end up playing with him and forgot about trying out clothes.

Cathy Doll C'est Bon Bon Cushion Blusher in Sugar Pink Review

Cushion Foundation has been a huge hit for this year!  But would you believe there is a Cushion Blusher too?

To see is to believe and I found it through Cathy Doll C'est Bon Bon Cushion Blusher!  Based from research, there are a total of 4 shades (01 Chewy Berry, 02 Sugar Pink, 03 Lolli Peach and 04 Jolly Orange).  But locally (correct me if I'm wrong), I believe I saw 3 shades (2, 3 and 4) and I got my hands on 02 Sugar Pink.

I may not be a fan of pink blush because most of the time, they look unnatural on my sallow skin, but for this particular one from Cathy Doll, I am giving this an exception.  It could be the fact that it's not the usual blush powder but it's in cushion form making application a breeze and the effect very natural!

You'll find them at Cathy Doll stalls Watsons Branches looking so cute and cuddly.

My #MaryKayBeautyOnTheGo Looks

As a busy individual (Note: I'm not talking about just being a busy mom so this tutorial is for EVERYONE!)  I know on most days, I only have less than 5 minutes to do my makeup so if you can see my photo collage below, you can see the key products I use.. can you spot them?

Brows - check!

Eyeliner - check!

Mascara - check!

and various lipstick shades --- Check! Check! Check!

That's why when I was challenged by Mary Kay Philippines to create my own version of #MaryKayBeautyOnTheGo looks using these....

...it doesn't feel like a challenge at all, because this is how I usually wear my makeup!

To start with, I usually spot conceal areas around my face that needed coverage, that's the undereye area and red spots on the sides of my nose.

I like to use a lightweight press powder and for this tutorial, I used Mary Kay On-The-Go Mineral Pressed Powder in Ivory 2 (Php699.00).  There isn't much coverage on this but it sets my concealer pretty well and I like the fact that this is mineral-based so it's safe even around kids.
