I love Innisfree not only for their makeup but their Skincare line! The first Innisfree product I tried is the Green Apple Cleansing Oil which I bought from Seoul. I loved the product so much I made sure to hoard on more cleansing oils and other skincare products whenever I visit Korea.
Fast forward to present, I am so thankful and happy the brand is finally here! Getting my backups and favorites won’t be as hard especially since they are also available online at Lazada!
I recently chanced upon their Brigthening Pore Set - I love sets, they are inexpensive way to test on product without commiting hefty amount!
Available at Lazada for the price of Php2,350 but on SALE at Php1,800+, I highly recommend YOU to add to card this set right away because I am so in love with their Brightening Pore Serum!
I originally got enticed to use this product because of the scent, I mean let me know if you are like me - scent is everything especially if it has to be on my face! It has a light citrus-y scent, somewhat like a light breeze of orange. It smells great! But most of all, the texture was amazing too! Almost like tha tof a water, it gets absorbed into skin in no time and I love the NON-tingling sensation. Whenever I see the word Vitamin C, I worry about the harshness on my extremely sensitive skin. Thankfully, after finishing up a bottle, I am happy to report that this product help keeps my skin brighter and lesser dark spots!
How I know? I breakout once a month and it always leave an ugly mark on my skin, this product helps lighten the spots which I appreciate a lot!
Innisfree Brightening Pore Spot Treatment
Speaking of spots coming from breakouts, I guess they finally made something for that! I usually do spot treatment with the serum but now they created a light cream version which excites me!
How have you been? Down here in Manila, we are back to lockdown once again which doesn’t give much impact in my life as I have been doing self-lockdown for a year plus! I only go out on weekends whenever I visit my parents and that started only latter part of 2020.
I felt sad to be honest in our situation but there’s nothing I can do but to continue do my part as a citizen. Stay calm for my son, keep on whipping out good dishes and study with my son for his homeschool assignments and exams.
On my free time, I create content because I enjoy sharing my discoveries and learnings through the years.
As for someone who live on T-shirt, I was gifted with a super cute Cooky Pink T-shirt on my partner from a very dear friend Dinna! Thanks Dinna for the friendship and for always cheering for me! I appreciate the love!
So she gifted me this shirt on my birthday and I wanted to say - this shirt looks OH-SO-FINE and comfortable even without styling but for someone who likes to wear this in multiple ways, I came up with a nice way to make it look more “dressy”
This tip can be paired with any bottom - pants, jeans, shorts, skort, skirt! You can even wear this with leggings as the length is just right! Or with Lolita Skirts!
As for my tutorial, I paired this with a demin mini skirt! I like how it turned out!
If you are a long time follower of Askmewhats’ Blog, you’ll know that Nail Art plays a huge role in my life! I have been doing nail art for so many years and have done various designs!
It stopped when I gave birth to my son and I just find it hard to juggle between motherhood and nails - let’s face it, what’s the point of having cute and beautiful nails when it has to be short all the time for my baby’s safety?
Now that he is older, I am going back to doing nail art because —- you wouldn’t believe what I’m going to say —- My son actually awaits for new nail art! He would say “Mommy, where is your March Nails?”
Obviously, my son is exposed in the “Beauty World” where his mom lives in ! :)
So recently, I was contacted by the brand Cathy Kathy to try out their products without the pressure of posting! They just wanted me to try it while I record it and maybe, let them know if I like the products are not. Without the pressure - plus the products are made in Japan. I said yes because I really want to see how good “home Gel Polish” would be.
I always have my heart on regular polishes with the challenge of wet base while I do my nail art designs! I mean I always prefer the harder and hassle route #NOT :P
After trying out Cathy Kathy Gel Polishes, I COULD be a convert! Could be in a sense that I love how shiny and perfect my nails look! How easy it was to do nail art as the base coat are completely dry! How I can easily continue with my day to day activities without having to worry about smudging my nail polish!
The only downside? The exposure of UV Light! I mean the brand did say it isn’t harsh but I can literally feel the heat whenever I put my fingers inside the UV Lamp!
That is my ONLY CON! But overall, I am saying this for the brand and only brand I used as of the moment - this brand is amazing in a sense that these are SOAK FREE! I dislike Gel Polishes because of bad experience with soaking and removal - my nails were PAPER THIN when it was supposed to be done professionally but they obviously didn’t know what to do!
With that scare, I swore of Gel Polishes forever and this brand changed that! They have Nail Polish Remover that can remove gel polishes with NO SWEAT.
Best of all, I’ve had this nail art for a week now, I cook, wash the dishes and do a lot of stuff and it remained fresh as freshly applied! No Chipping (as long as you apply them well!)
I won’t blab more, watch my quick and easy-to-understand tutorial coming from someone who was literally using this KIT for the VERY FIRST TIME!
Can’t wait to use more of these products and create more art for you guys!
What can you say about my FIRST EVER GEL POLISH applied at home?

“Can you please make sure my eyes are lifted after makeup?”
“I have hooded lids! Paano mag eyeliner?”
These are just some of the many requests my clients sent my way when I was actively doing makeup. So yes, this tip is based from years of experience and years of perspiring on top of my head hoping my techniques would work on them! SO far it did, so I am sharing you this finally with photos and a quick video!
Best of all, I only used 2 products! YAY RIGHT?
Here’s a sample eyeliner and eyeshadow
Closer look, my eyes are lifted yet the liner doesn’t look extremely sharp like it’s going to cut anyone passing by! *lol*
A full view on how lifted my left face (facing you) look as opposed to the other side. What do you think?
I have to be honest, it is such a huge hassle to edit 2 videos as I uploaded one on IG Video but I wanted one that is in horizontal format for my blog so I had to put it on AskMeWhatsTV Youtube account (Shameless plus, please follow me!). That said, I. Had to change the music on Youtube postings because of copyright issues so I am too lazy to add up the wordings I manually did on Instagram Video so I will explain the process here instead.
Nars Philippines recently launched 3 collections and all are exciting! I got to dip my fingers on each collection with Nars Afterglow Lip Shine in Dark Deeds (Erratum: It should be Dark Deeds on Video instead of Deep Realm).
I was able to try 3 Air Matte Moussse from Air Matte Blush Collection and an O Eyeshadow Palette under the Ox Collection. For some reason, all these colletction looks so inviting to create 1 dainty look and I actually did!
Before the look, let me show you a closer look on why Nars can always give me a flutter in the stomach because it brought me back to so many good ‘ol Bridal Wedding makeup days! These Air Matte Blushers are so pretty to use I can imagine the term “BLUSHING BRIDES” for all 3 shades below.
