Punch on my Lips, Not in my Drink!

I started to enjoy lipliners especially when they are getting more pigmented and glides on easier than before!  What I dislike about lipliners/lip pencils though is how thin they are and how it takes longer time for me to apply since I have full lips!  

Art Sticks (also known as Lip Crayons) are the answer to my "full lips" problem.  But, most of them tend to be drying and not as pigmented thus I end up exfoliating my lips instead of applying color to them!  

I recently discovered Bobbi brown Art Stick during a quick visit at the SM Beauty Section and got myself a shade called PUNCH.  I haven't been into bright colored lip products lately but this has definitely been a huge exception to the rule!

Housed in a jumbo crayon packaging, you get the Bobbi Brown name printed and the bottom part of the pencil is the shade.  This is a wooden pencil so you need to make sure you own a jumbo sharpener to be able to sharpen this.  I am not sure if Bobbi Brown locally sells this with the jumbo sharpener but they definitely have a specific Bobbi Brown Jumbo Sharpener!

Lipstick meets liner—this chunky pencil glides on effortlessly and delivers a creamy matte finish to instantly step up any look. The perfect blend of emollients and shea butter creates a rich creamy texture that allows for smooth and effortless application with incredibly comfortable wear. The enclosed sharpener ensures a precision application every time.

KTO Ladies' Special Food Edition

If you ask me what my favorite dish is, my answer will always be Korean!

After a long day of work, I always go to my favorite restaurant Korean Village or eat Ghalbi and Samgyeopsal at Mak Chang.  Ask me about the best Korean restaurants in town, I'll probably give you a list or two.

When I was invited to joan the #LadiesSpecial Tour arranged by Korea Tourism Organization, Cebu Pacific and JG Summit Holdings, I got excited to see Korea again in a different light and dine in restaurants as approved by the KTO!  Seriously, the best person to guide you to the best restaurants in town would be people living there!  Thanks Alice, our Tour Guide, for arranging everything!

I'm sure some of you have plans to visit Seoul anytime soon!  So please check out my short list of "Where to Dine in Seoul"!  Enjoy!

Thanks Ms. Trixie Esguerra for taking my photos

When I was asked to join this advocacy called Philips MOM for Moms, I did a bit of research online and immediately said YES!

Why?

Well, firstly, Philips is a leading health technology company and has always done various projects to hep improve the lives of mankind.

Today, they are embarking on a grand and never-before-done feat of monitoring mothers-to-be who are at high risk of pregnancy-related complications in the Philippines.

The event was held at Makati Diamond Residences last November 21st and was hosted by fellow mommy Ms. Issa Litton.

The Body Shop Eye Colour Stick in Cyprus Bronze Is Au Naturelle!

The secret to completing a lot of tasks as a Blogger, Mom, PR and Brand Consultant, Makeup Trainer (and a lot more!) is not about being a natural-born Superwoman, it is, in my opinion as plain as a single word called "RUSHING".  

I know the things to be rushed and things to give importance an make time!  I can whip up a family dinner good for 5-6 heads in less than 30 minutes, spend time teaching my son and bond with him with Arts and Activities for an hour and do my makeup in 3-5 minutes flat!

PRIORITIES.  A secret I hold for almost 5 years now since turning into a mom!  

As much as I missed the whole hoobaloo of makeup application, my look isn't really a priority especially if I only need to go out for errands!  There may be times I need to prettify myself and use extra time for events, but most of the time, my makeup is super low key and I believe fellow mommies would understand.

Now, with the love for low key makeup, I highly depend on makeup products that is very quick and easy to use!  I recently discovered my love affair for Eye Pencils when I used the one from Etude House and added my collection with the newest one from The Body Shop.
