Make Up For Ever Pro Finish Multi-Use Powder Foundation Review

One of the few products from the brand that I ordered online, the Make Up For Ever Pro Finish Multi Use Powder Foundation is what I've been using for the past few weeks.  I have normal/dry skin on some days and this product is actually best used for those with normal to combination skin.  I have a feeling this would lean better to the "oilies" but hey, someone from my side has to try it right?

My Ladies' Special Experience in Seoul, Korea (Part 2)

So you've read My Ladies' Special Experience in Seoul, Korea Part 1 and I hope you enjoyed my story-telling and will enjoy reading Part 2.

In Seoul, though it is the Capital of South Korea and probably appears like any other cities across the world when you Google photos online.  Seoul has an innate beauty waiting to be explored.  Once you visit the city, you'll long to go back.  The feeling is just unexplainable and definitely beyond K-Dramas and K-Pop artists. 

As promised, here's Part Two of the Ladies' Special arranged by Korea Tourism Organization, JG Summit Holdings, Inc. and Cebu Pacific Air.  I hope I inspired you to want to visit the city too because I'll definitely go back with the family!

6. Grévin Seoul Museum
1 adult pass to enter Grévin Seoul Museum costs 18,000KRW (around Php588.00 local currency) and you can spend half a day inside max.  The Grévin Seoul  is a waxwork museum established recently (year 2015 to be exact). If you think this museum is only found in Korea, you are wrong (okay fine, we are wrong!)  Musee Grévin is France's famous beeswax museum and they have branches in Paris, Montreal, Prague then the first in Asia which is located in Korea.  

What makes Grévin Seoul unique from the ones you're used to seeing?

They added a slew of South Korean hallyu celebrities like Psy, G Dragon, Kim Yuna (figure skating star), plus historical figures such as King Sejong and General Yi Sun-Sin.

Kate Tokyo The Base Zero Secret Skin Maker Zero Powder Foundation Review

It has always been Asian-made base makeup that I find works for my skin to achieve that smooth, flawless and inner-glow!  When my favorite base makeup brand Paul & Joe left the country *sniff* I knew I had to look for alternatives and surprisingly, I found it in Kate Tokyo.  

Giving you a bit of my secret, I use Kate Mineral Powder Foundation as my final step when I do Bridal makeup.  It gives the instant glow without the "cement look".  

When Kate Tokyo recently launched their The Base Zero line, I immediately tested their Secret Skin Maker Zero Powder Foundation even if it is meant for Oil Control (not for my dry skin)  

My Choice: Travel with Rootote

When I travel, I travel as Light as possible.  The only time you'll see me lugging so much stuff was when we traveled to USA with Kyle as a baby!  But given the chance to lessen the "load", I make sure to be as effective and efficient by bringing and using only the things that works.

Just like my travel bag!  I have a HUGE handcarry bag and have an extra bag folded neatly inside my luggage so number one - It has to be foldable and not bulky!

I was looking into leather travel backpack  one time and got inspired to look for a similarly designed travel bags

I like backpacks the most for travel but of course, it's not always "safe" to carry a backpack in certain countries, I want the bag to be multi-functional that can be used as a "handcarry" bag too especially on crowded streets (less chances of bumping other people too!)  - that's my number two requirement.

Let's head on the requirement three which is one of the most important requirement.  It has to be spacious and easy to get my things - from wallet, camera, mobile phone, passport, sunglasses.  

And lastly, it doesn't hurt if it looks fashionable!  Who likes to carry ugly bags anyways?

Guess what?  Found it all with ROOTOTE Bags!

Rootote is known in Japan for the innovation of a simple tote bag into a stylish and functional bag that fits an active lifestyle while highlighting Japanese street-style fashion. Rootote has 14 stand-alone stores and are in more than 200 department stores all over Japan, along with stores in Taiwan, Thailand, Korea, Vietnam, and now in the Philippines.

Rootote offers a unique line-up of 2-way backpacks and tote bags that are fit for both men and women.  Japanese influence is evident in every Rootote bag with fashion-forward style and design functions that are very practical in any situation. The name Rootote comes from the animal kangaroo; since kangaroo’s have an inner pocket, so do all Rootote bags inside with the patented “roo pocket”.

Rootote emphasizes on the perfect combination of form and functionality, as all bags are designed to be the perfect stylish companion for travel, sports, casual-use, and other outdoor activities. All bags have the patented “roo pocket” along with numerous pockets inside and outside the bag. These bags are mostly 2-way backpack/tote bags, and have other useful features such as being water-repellent. It is perfect for any occasion and any weather.

Ladies' Special: Tongin Market

I have always been fascinated with Korean Street Food that's why that was the first thing on my "to-do" (or shall I say, to-eat) list when I first visited the country.

It has always been Myeongdong for me for Streetfood but I'm glad I joined in the Korea Tourism Organization Ladies' Tour with fellow media partners and we had our own tour guide to bring us to another unique way to enjoy Korean Street Food - via Lunchbox using Old Korean Currency.

Tongin Market

This market dates back to June 1941.  According to our guide, the market consists of more than 75 stores in which you can try out authentic Korean Food, you can even buy fresh fruits and vegetables and even manufactured goods like shoes and clothing.

Here's what to do if you are a first-time visitor at Tongin Market.
Go straight to the "cashier" section wherein you pay 5,000KRW and you receive 10 brass coins (coins with hole that olden times use) which can be exchanged for various food.  1 coin is equivalent to 500KRW and most food costs around 1,000KRW to 2,000KRW.
