A Very Subtle Highlighting Powder


Strobing is super "in" since last year!  But as much as we love the "strobing effect" on photos, it looks really unnatural (and to some...oily) in person!  So the Queen of Natural-looking makeup (Yes, I hailed myself that! #walangkokontra) is on the lookout for the most natural highlighting product.  And I may have found one!

Catrice Cosmetics Limited Edition Strobing Duo Highlighter 
Php499.00

The shade says C01 Strobing Surpreme but I am reading it as Strobing SUPREME.  Could be a spelling mistake but it doesn't matter to me.

This is a LIMITED Edition product so if you can still find them at SM Beauty Stores, grab them before it's too late!

When A Lip Liner is Enough




Seldom do I use lipliner and leave the house and it happened when I tried the new L'Oreal Infallible Never Fail 6H Lip Liner in Red Wine.

As promised, L'Oreal said it'll give me that defined lips like a pro and I easily got that in just a few swipes!

Weekend Food Trip at: Sunnies Cafe



It is indeed weekend but I'm still at Row 101 Summer Pop Up bazaar manning a booth.  I deserve the best milkshake in town and so far, I found it at Sunnies Cafe.

The first time I tried Sunnies Cafe was at their first branch at SM Megamall with good friend Benebabe Kriska.  It was a positive experience that's why when I saw their branch at HighStreet, I've decided to bring my whole family there for a quick dinner date.

Salted CaramelSutra
Php190.00
Salted caramel ice cream, crushed graham,
 whipped cream, malted milk

One of the smoothest and silkiest milkshake I've tried to date.  I will definitely go back for MORE!

Crispy Tacos
Php270.00
Asada steak, fried quail eggs, homemade crispy parmesan taco shells
cilantro cream sauce.

A MUST order if you visit Sunnies Cafe.  One repeat order I did when I visit this restaurant and I won't mind ordering this all over again!  What made this super unique?  The steak, the crispy parmesan taco shells!

Thomas Sabo - A Perfect Mother's Day Gift



After Labor Holiday comes my favorite celebration --- Mother's Day and Father's Day.
I remembered how us "siblings" would pitch in to surprise my mom and dad Cake and Ice Cream.  "Surprise" is just a term because it was a bit expected every year!  It goes on and on like that for many years because that's all we can give from our allowances.

Fast forward to today, celebrating Mother's Day is definitely different with us being adults (with a job!)  But it never goes without "bonding" over simple lunch or dinner.

Because for us...the best gift you can give to someone doesn't come with a price tag, it just simply says: "I remembered you, I thought of you when I picked this gift."


And recently, I got invited by my good friends from Spark It! to visit the Thomas Sabo store at SM Megamall for a mini get-together with fellow mommies, and with just simple invite made me the giddy over being "recognized" as a Mom because we were told the event was all about Thomas Sabo believing the power of a "mom", or shall I quote them - "Supermom".  

*Supermom (dictionary) - "An Exemplary Mother".
"With that belief, Thomas Sabo is one with all the women in the world in making a mark by owning their own Bold Statements.  Highlightingn wins and celebrating victories are not made more precious when shared with loved ones and eternalized with a fine, timeless keepsake."

Sleek MakeUP Brow Intensity Review + How to Use



Another brow product!  And this time, it is from Sleek MakeUP!
The newest all-nighter product called Brow Intensity is set to be long-wearing and it has a multi-purpose brow tool that I find it quite unique and a breeze to use!

Okay, if you have sparse brows and wanted them to appear fuller and natural?  You may want to check out photos after the jump!

Housed in a pen-type packaging, you get a Brow Sculptor (in 3 shades Light, medium and dark) and a Brow Highlighter pencil on the other side.
