Cloud Cosmetics Baby Pores Powder Emulsion Review

So a cute box arrived our doorstep one time and it says "Cloud Cosmetics"

After checking out the packaging, I originally thought it was a Korean made beauty products but after doing my own research, learned this is a Proudly Filipino Brand!

Formerly known as Eden's Paradise (I knew about it as the packaging of their lip product is exactly the same!)  

I personally applaud their new look!

Today, I am focusing my first Cloud Cosmetics review on their Baby Pores Powder Emulsion (Php499.00).

Cloud Cosmetics Baby Pores Powder Emulsion Says ---

This primer is specifically designed to cover, blur, and minimize pores and skin imperfections. It glides on as a cream and quickly transforms into a fine powder leaving a matte, silky smooth finish. It instantly hides your imperfections like magic! With SPF 30.

Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Pro Filter Soft Matte Longwear Foundation Review

When the Fenty Beauty broke the beauty world with a loud bang, I was just one of those "chill" gals who never thought of owning one!

After watching Youtube reviews, reading in-depth reviews on the said foundation, I knew this has HIGH coverage, a super matte finish and works really well on Oily Skin.

Everything that I don't need and want!

BUT, because a lot of you have been messaging me to review one, I finally went online on a Black Friday Sale to get this foundation discounted about 10%

Make Up For Ever Aqua Brow Review

Goodness.  When I think about the brand Make Up For Ever and you ask me about their Brow Products, the first product that will appear on top of my head will be the famous AQUA BROW.

So famous I never owned one --- until recently. 

What is wrong with me?  *laughs*  I guess when people are raving so much about a particular product, I give it a rest and just accept that they are good and think that my readers have enough reviews online and won't probably seek for my opinion anymore.  (Yes guys, ang daming kong drama sa buhay! :P)

But what changed?  Well, it was when a make up artist used the product on my brows, I immediately told myself -- screw reviews!  I just want one!

Make Up For Ever Aqua Brow 

Php1,600.00

Available HERE

As you all know, most tested great brow products aren't on top of my dresser table, ALL of them are inside my PRO Kit because I value clients more than myself!  (Not good guys, SELF LOVE dapat! hahaha)  But anyway, I've decided to put this on top of my dresser and think of this product as MINE, not for testing!  And thankfully, it stayed for months!  And I'm loving it!

Keep in mind though that I don't use this daily, I only use this on days I attend meetings or special events because I'm always a pencil girl (Especially when I'm rushing and doing 5 minutes max makeup).  This requres extra brush and you know how it is when you're a busy mom --- anything extra should be deleted in your life!

Esfolio Green Herb Sun Cream Relaxing Review

Japanese and Korean sunblocks are definitely my to-go-to sun care brand for years!  I don't mind using ANY brand for the body but I am very particular with my face sunscreen!  

Shiseido to Biore.  I can't believe I was able to find another one that works really well!

What's OUR requirements with face sunscreens?  

Non-greasy.  Lightweight-feel.  No White Cast on flash photos.  Works with makeup.  WORKS in sun protection.

I found it at Esfolio Green Herb Sun Cream!  And best of all?  I got more benefits using this product!  This actually relaxes my skin on every application and minimize redness.

The Pig Pen Restaurant Review

Two weeks ago, just when Christmas/New Years' rush is settling down, I've decided to book a Hotel at Nuvali Sta. Rosa Laguna for a quick family getaway/Staycation outside the city just to relax and rejuvenate ourselves after the crazy Christmas Break when Kyle got sick and we spent the holidays doing nothing but worrying about his health.

Thanks to my dear friend Marge who gifted me an overnight stay at Hotel Seda and it was one of the best place to stay with the family without the long drive!  It took us an hour and a half to arrive there.  The place was still packed but I like how Nuvali was developed in a way families can have fun even with the crowd.

I did a lot of research on some good restaurants to try at Nuvali.  Pig Pen Restaurant popped on my browser.  Though I know they have a second branch at Makati, I didn't bother wanting to try it at Makati because we seldom head there....and of course TRAFFIC.

After spending time at an Arcade and Bookstore, Kyle was ready to eat and the place wasn't packed!  We immediately ordered the dishes recommended by the server.

Papadum (Indian Tortilla) Nachos topped with Beef

Php180.00

A pretty unique way to enjoy your nachos in my opinion.  The chips are a tad bit oilier than regular nachos but they are so crunchy you'll forget about the oil and just enjoy this appetizer!
