Happy Skin At Long Lash Supercurl Waterproof Mascara Review




So I haven't been using mascara much because seriously, what can I do with them?
When I got the Happy Skin At Long Lash Supercurl Waterproof Mascara, I knew I had to try this out because of two things ----

It says "supercurl" --- need that!
The wand is just unique! --- rod-type

Pink Sugar Our Lil' Secret Concealer Review




What's my not-so-secret Secret?  I use concealer in a daily basis and apply it only on areas of my face that needed coverage (undereye, sides of nose and random pimples).  And I keep the rest of my face bare as much as possible just to let it breathe!

That I think, is my secret to having better-looking skin (disclaimer: Not always!)

That said, I finish up concealers so quickly I can actually review several brands in a month!

One recent concealer collection is from Pink Sugar called Our Lil' Secret Concealer (Php349.00).

Thanks to Pink Sugar for creating various shades of concealers (not just light and medium) but they actually have 5 shades and you'll definitely find one that would match you.

5 shades: Light Warm, Light Medium, Beige, Medium and Medium Deep.

Thankfully, this is housed in a packaging I love most when it comes to liquid concealers!

Comes with doe-foot applicator which, in my opinion, is the best applicator for liquid concealers because you get to apply the much needed amount of product on key areas.

BLK Cosmetics Launch + AMW Wears BLK Long-Lasting Liquid Matte Lipsticks



Everyone living in the Philippines knows Anne Curtis, and this photo taken at the BLK Cosmetics launch is "Ode to Anne Curtis' Red Lips".  She's known to be TOP Actress that can do a TV Show without wearing much makeup.  There were days I can see her bare skin and just wear a bright lipstick!  How many top actresses/performers can do that?  

Only Anne Curtis!

No wonder the makeup line she helped create BLK Cosmetics --- together with Jacqe Yuengtian Gutierrez is all about uncomplicated beauty.


A lot of my readers asked me what BLK stands for ---

It simply stands for the color black, something timeless, elegant and uncomplicated, which is what Anne and Jacqe wanted their brand to be.  BLK aims to stand out by going back to basics.  Their goal is to keep things simple, plus, it has an official cruelty-free certification from PETA.

Over the weekend, I was able to try 1 out of the 5 types of makeup they launched.  The BLK Cosmetics Long-Lasting Liquid Matte Lipsticks.

La Spezia, Tomas Morato



If you are looking for a restaurant that gives you:
1. Good Food
2. Great Ambiance
3. Good service

You must check out La Spezia located at Tomas Morato Quezon City.  If you are craving for coffee though, expect that you need to transfer to a nearby coffee shop because that's the only thing that I hoped they offer but I was told the owners have decided to forego this thought because they have bar menu and there are indeed so many nearby coffee shops.

Good friend and "boss"Janina of Girlstuff and I love food so we've decided to go to this quiet place on a weekend for quick catch up and meeting as well!

If I may have to add, the restaurant is aesthetically perfect for that quiet time with family, loved ones and friends.
