Pixi By Petra MatteLast Liquid Lip Review

Dear AMW friends, today, I am heading back to Manila from my Seoul trip!  I am so excited to share to you what transpired during the trip with the rest of the Media Family!  It's called Media Familiarization trip with Cebu Pacific, Korea Tourism Organization and JG Summit Holdings, Inc. but I called it a Media FAMILY trip with the Seoul Sisters!

I hope you were able to follow me on Instagram and Facebook and follow my whereabouts!  If not, don't worry, I will definitely share my experiences in a blog post soon!  When I take a breather.

As for today, it's a Monday so I definitely will give you another lipstick discovery, this time from the brand Pixi by Petra called MatteLast Liquid Lip.

There are a total of 5 shades released and I got my hands on these 2 ---

Weekend Food Trip at: Ryu Ramen And Curry

Whenever I have a long day of work, I always end up craving for something warm and fuzzy for the tummy!  And that is definitely a good bowl of Ramen noodles for me! 

So after a full day of shoot, I met up with the family at the restaurant in Quezon City called Ryu Ramen and Curry.  We were originally aiming for the next door Korean restaurant but it was packed!  Second choice or not, I'm just happy I got to eat this ramen bowl.

Miso Butter Corn Ramen

Php320.00

A specialty of Hokkaido, this ramen is miso-based broth with sauteed vegetables, ground pork, topped with corn kernels and special butter mix.

I love Miso-based ramen (just in case you want to surprise me with a bowl), it's always love at first MISO!  Then, corn kernels are definitely a lovely sweet surprise!  I always ask the server to lessen the butter mix because I dislike how some restaurants made the soup base into butter soup!

This one is actually just a perfect blend of everything!  Love how crunchy the vegetables are while the noodles are soft and chewy.

The Suncare Line You May Want To Try!

If there's one type of product that I highly use this year, it would be a bit of a surprise for me to say SUNBLOCK (not lip balm guys!  Sunblock!)

Ever since I send my son to school, drive him and wait for him, I am more exposed to the sun!  I ended up seeing some uneven marks on my skin (watch strap, sleeves from shirts and shorts, etc...)  So I've decided to really invest on various Sunblock brands and use them so fast I can't keep track!

One brand I've used and actually liked is from Celeteque Dermoscience.  Their Sun Care line consists of the Face and Body Sun Defense Spray with SPF50 and Broad Spectrum, the Matte Moisturizer with SPF30 and Broad Spectrum and lastly, my favorite is actually the Skin Relief After-Sun Gel which I use at night!

I believe these came out during summer but I am definitely using them all-year-round!  Thankfully, I like the feel of these products, non-greasy, non-oily and best of all, my uneven skin did not look more uneven after months of driving to and from school!

What's your favorite brand of sunblock for both face and body?

I am currently testing out a different brand after finishing these up!

Keep smilin'

Stay happy!

 

This is Why We Play Hard in Life

I would like to call my fashion style extremely feminine.  I always tend to lean on cutesy and girly outfits but looks can definitely be deceiving.  If you get to open and look what's inside me, you'll find one tough and hardcore cookie!  I play hard in life, really hard!  I've been thrown with so much challenges and is continuously fighting off some but I make sure to do it with good vibes and style.

Yes, you can still be tough and look as bright as a sunshine!  

Cap and Jacket from The NBA Store

The NBA Store in Glorietta has been around for almost 3 years I believe.  Imagine, we house the largest NBA store outside the USA and I couldn't be prouder!

Let's be honest, the last time I was hooked with NBA was 15 years ago, I was rooting for Chicago Bulls then shifted to San Antonio Spurs just because Spurs was my then boss's favorite team and every time the team won, we have a good day --- we were either treated with a good lunch or a day off!  #hahaha

So walking into The NBA Store brought me back to good memories and a whole lot of confusion!  I'm still a girl not updated with NBA games anyways.  But I was surprised how easy it was for me to pick the right merchandise for me and the family!

NYX Sculpt and Highlight Brow Contour Review

Who loves a brow pencil and a highlighter in one?
*Raises hand*
My favorite brow highlighter is from Benefit called High Brow.  I still use it, mostly for clients and scrimp for myself!  So I actually found an inexpensive alternative and I'm so happy it came with a brow pencil too!

NYX Sculpt & Highlight Brow Contour

A pencil with double-sided end.  One side is the brow "contour" while the other side is the highlight.  I got the shade Espresso/Light Beige which I believe is perfect for me!

NYX Sculpt and Highlight Brow Contour Says ---

NYX Professional Makeup's sleek Sculpt & Highlight Brow Contour is a 2-in-1 pencil that define, fills, and uses shadow and light to lift the brows to perfection. Formulated with nourishing castor seed oil, this dynamic eyebrow pencil also helps the brow feel soft and smooth.
