Weekend Food Trip at: Blue Rocket Cafe + Kitchen

I dine out a lot!  Not because I'm lazy to cook but that's how I bond with my parents and my parents-in-law!  Because I tend to eat out a lot especially on weekends, I am actually very aggressive in searching for new restaurants! (Hello Booky, Zomato, Munchpunch, etc...!)

When I got o my parents' place, I usually search for restaurants either Manila area or Quezon City.  One restaurant that caught my attention is called Blue Rocket Cafe + Kitchen located at Diliman QC.

Why this place?  Well, whenever I'm with my mom and dad, I want to make sure the place is not crowded, spacious enough for my dad's wheelchair and quiet enough for us to catch up!

Blue Rocket Cafe + Kitchen fits the bill!

Chicken Wings

Php195.00

You can choose between Spicy Buffalo, Salt and Pepper, Pesto Parmesan and Honey Garlic and we went for the latter because it's the safest and my parents aren't into spicy food!  This is a crunchy chicken wing that is quite flavorful and tender on the inside.

Baked Spicy Korean Chicken Rice 

Php265.00

Spicy and sweet Korean-seasoned rice topped with chicken thighs and melted cheese.  The rice itself is extremely flavorful yet spicy!  I actually enjoyed this dish so much I went for...

the exact same order on my 2nd visit.  

LuMee® Duo™ Review

So I've seen my good friend Phoebe got a cool "lighting" on her iPhone case and I was amazed yet I wasn't sold!  Then goes another good Blogger Friend who goes lighting up her iPhone case whenever she takes a selfie or photos.  I was still indifferent.  I love simple, yet functional phone cases, functional meaning, just there to protect my phone from scratches and from fall. 

Then, it was nighttime at Blue Bay when Kyle Nash was having fun running around playing with Bubbles.  I was there, taking shots after shots of all those wonderful and rare moments.  The photos came out....dark!

That's when I realized, okay, what was that phone case again?

It is called LuMee® Duo™ which you can find at Beyond The Box stores nationwide.

LuMee® Duo™

Php3,190.00

And the funny thing I realized?  I don't only use the lighting in the dark, I am actually enjoying lighting this up even on bright areas!

"Designed by professional photographer Allan Shoemake, it mimics the effect of ring lights used in fashion photography. With just a press of a button, the  LuMee® Duo™ case bathes your face in a soft, flattering light with studio-quality lights up front and back, too. Taking a portrait of your friend? You can now take it any time of the day. Snapping a flat lay of your favorite food? The restaurant now becomes your studio. Everything is in the best light. They’re still protective cases at the very core, so your iPhone is afforded superior drop protection behind the luxurious soft matte or smooth glossy finish."

Benefit Boi-ing Airbrush Concealer Review

Benefit recently introduced the members of the Boi-ing Family and I am one happy BeneGal because I use concealer on a daily basis I can actually review a whole line of concealers from various brands in no time #TrueStory .

After having my makeup "refreshed" by one of the Benefit SA at Robinsons Magnolia using the new Boi-ing Airbrush Concealer, I was sold!  

The NEW Boi-ing family is housed in an even prettier packaging!  Reminds me so much of gradeschool, pinks, eraser-like packaging .... so youthful and cheery!

Benefit Boi-ing Airbrush Concealer says ---

Unevenness? Fine lines? Undereye circles? Forget filters…just apply boi-ing airbrush concealer. It’s your “real-life retouch!” This soft-focus, lightweight concealer covers imperfections all over the face with a flawless finish that’s virtually undetectable.

-Sheer-to-medium coverage
-Waterproof
-Lasts 10 hours
-Instant “airbrush” finish

Initial Thoughts: Eres Tu Sunscreen and BB Creams

Dear AMW Friends,

I have been trying out so many products ever since I started Blogging and I can't imagine a decade after, I don't think I'm taking a break anytime soon.  There are just so many brands coming in our shores and I couldn't be happier for YOU because you finally have more choices within reach (Watsons reach level lang) unlike my time when I had to do all the trial and error method shopping at Ebay! 

As I do my weekly "shopping" for both family needs and MY beauty needs at Watsons, an unfamiliar brand popped right in front of me called ERES TU.  As I was waiting for some free time to Google-A-Friend on what this brand is about, my generous friends from Spark It! gifted me these!  

Hello Sunshine to me indeed!

Eres Tu is a brand from Korea which specializes in sunscreen and skincare products with anti-aging benefits (Holler Peptide and other active ingredients!).  If you follow me on #AMWIGStories , you'll see that I already jumpstarted getting myself acquainted with the brand by trying out the Sun Perfect UV Ray Protection SPF50+ PA+++ sunscreen.

But of course, the brand offers more!  They've included BB Creams --- Multi BB Cream and Peptide Special BB Cream.

My Daily Armor Brightening Complex Sun Cream SPF50+ PA+++

Always Young & Beautiful Restorative Day and Night Cream

My Youth Reactivator Blemish/Age-Concealing Day Cream 

in cool sachets packs.

(Php99.00 each)

Happy Skin Eye Love View Too Microtip Eyebrow Pencil and Spoolie Review

I may have missed the launch of Happy Skin's Eye Woke Up Like This Collection launch (due to extremely crazy and busy schedule) but that doesn't stop me from reviewing another one of the product included in the collection.

You've probably read my review on the Say Eye Do Easy Eyeshadow  which got a thumbs up sign from me on how easy it is to use especially on morning rush!

How easy and effective is it to use the Eye Love View Too Microtip Eyebrow Pencil & Spoolie Duo?

Housed in a super slim retractable pencil type of packaging, I like that they still included a spoolie even if it is a "micro" version.

 

Happy Skin Eye Love View Too Microtip Eyebrow Pencil and Spoolie Says ---

"There's a new eyebrow tool to fall in love with. The Happy Skin Eye Love View Too Microtip Eyebrow Pencil & Spoolie Duo features the perfect combo of a super fine eyebrow pencil tip and spoolie grooming brush. The spoolie brush allows you to groom brows before filling them in. The unique microtip eyebrow pencil helps you draw feathery strokes that mimic real brow strands to achieve a natural look. The brown hue of the auto-pencil tip easily matches every brow color depending on how much pressure you apply."
