Makeup World Cover Up Concealer in Nude Review

You've probably seen and heard about Makeup World products when I shared some reviews on their bestselling products ---

Makeup World Complete Contour Palette

Makeup World Blush|Up Single Blush Powder

Makeup World Pucker Up Matte Lipsticks

Makeup World Cover|Up Pressed Powder

And today, I will be adding up to my review on the local brand under the Cover|Up line, the concealer!  I got the shade NUDE for review.

Makeup World Cover Up Concealer Nude says ---

An all-around creamy concealer that hides spots, blemishes, and under-eye circlesLightweight, highly-blendable formula covers up imperfections; helps smoothen patchy areas to create the perfect base; evens out skin tone; ideal for bare-faced weekends

Snoe Rouge Deluxe Exotique Review

I got the SNOE Rouge Deluxe Exotique Lipsticks for months now and I only got the chance to write about these because I am really thinking hard on how to categorize these lipsticks.  

Okay, let me try to simplify everything by saying --- these are locally-made and are good quality (so I'm raising our National Flag proudly here!), these are highly pigmented and comes in shades that are wearable for any skin tone!  All 6 shades I got are wearable I tell you!  I can't pick a favorite and I just make a decision by simply grabbing ANY shade on my "SNOE" basket and I'll know they will look pretty good on me.

Now, on the other side of the coin, you have to bear in mind that I, the reviewer, have extremely dry and dehydrated lips (I've said it a lot of times but I have to remind all of you!), they feather, they crack so whenever I test new products, I test them ALONE and with the help of lip moisturizer or lip balm!  

The Snoe Rouge Deluxe Exotique Lipsticks - I can't wear without the help of lip balm, that's because, my lips are special that way :P

Php499.00

Tony Moly BCDation Cushion Plus Review

One of the most recommended base product from the brand Tony Moly by their SAs is the BCDation Cushion Plus.  As much as I try to steer clear from getting another cushion foundation since most of them are too light, dries out easily and I seldom use full face base makeup on a daily basis, I was actually sold by the SA's testimonial so I picked one just for the sake of review.

Tony Moly BCDation Cushion Plus

Php1,048.00

The Tony Moly BCDation is housed in a usual thick, round cushion-compact!  It's all white with a simple lettering of BCDation printed clearly which I honestly love!

Weekend Food Trip at: Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.

The restaurant Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. has been around for so many years at Greenbelt Branch.  I would know because young Nikki and Keith would hover around the area wondering when we'll have the budget to dine in such restaurant!  #laughs  (Pero seriously, kuripot lang kami sa pagkain nung panahon na yon! #ShoppingOverFood)

But as we grow older, priorities changed, Food is Life na - aside from Coffee.

It was one of those weekends we go out with my husband's family.  I've decided to never mind the drive from Manila to Makati on a Sunday but heck was it super traffic at Roxas Blvd.  We hoped the food would be worth it for the hour plus drive!

Cajun Shrimp

Php425.00

Sauteed in hot and spicy Cajun Butter sauce. Served with garlic bread for dipping.

Serving is quite small for the price but we love the hint of spiciness and sweetness on fresh shrimps!  Yes, I can tell that shrimps are fresh because I didn't end up with crazy allergies!  The garlic bread is TDF (To Die For!)
