Cathy Doll Glow Gel Tint Review

 

Happy Monday!

Bringing you a big smile to start the week!  It was a restful (uhm. Not so) weekend!  I was busy watching random Korean Variety shows until wee hours of the night!  Ahhh the joy of motherhood!  You find solace at night when your kid is sleeping!  Hahaha Can anyone relate?

So few weeks ago, on my Instagram page, I shared a look with gradient lips, an easy way to create gradient lips with Cathy Doll Glow Gel Tints!  I got 3 shades so I used them all, but you know you don’t need to use all 3 right?  

Cathy Doll says —

Get a luscious lips with Glow Gel Tint! It is enriched with Hyaluron and Vitamin E to provide intense nourishment for your lips! Available at Watsons Online Store.  Priced locally at Php149.00 each.

Cathy Doll Glow Gel Tint

02 Peach Kiss

This is really peach and would appear bright if you have light colored lips!  My lips are originall pigmented so it turned out a bit deep!  I prefer to use this as base if I want gradient lips, I can wear this on its’ own and I like the youthful vibe it gives.

FIB EATS: Mango Sago

 

How many times have you craved for something so difficult to find during quarantine and you ended up making it yourself?

SO MANY TIMES.

One of them are Mango Sago!  I have been craving for them - yes, you can ask my husband - he rushed to my room and said: “MAY MANGO SAGO KA!” When he saw the FIB Mango Sago package!

When I posted about this on my stories, a lot asked right away - is this the same as Chinese restaurant? 

NO.  The Chinese restaurant version is more watery and can somewhat pass up as a drink/dessert.  While tthe FIB Eats Mango Sago is a DESSERT…a creamy dessert.  Imagine the texture of the Buko Pandan you like?  Same as this - minus the NIYOG - which made it much better kasi parang hindi bagay ang niyog sa Mangoes?  —- Just my opinion!

For the price of Php350.00 I would say this is worth it!  I was able to share this to my in-laws and still eat to my heart’s content.

You get real mango, chewy tapioca, gelatin and a whole lot more!  Basta you will get full and satisfied!  The mangoes though are a bit sour for this batch, I am sure that you get it differently depending on the mangos!  We can’t judge the seller for this, you know how mangoes are!

Stay happy!

 

Hairstyle Tutorial: Upstyling a Ponytail

I have been invited for E-wedding this year twice!  I can see people are slowly getting back to their lives continuing happy celebrations like Weddings.  

If you attend a wedding online, you would at least pucker-up and fix your hair for that nice photos to share to the bride and groom right?  I KNOW I WOULD!

Hiring a makeup artist and hairstylist is a no-no in times like this!  Not unless you are vaccinated and assured of your safety, you need to spend money and I don’t think it is needed unless you have tons of cash to spare! :D. Please send me some if you have overflowing cash!  *LOL*

So here’s a simple ponytail that looks decent and really nice for wedding guests!  If you are a bridesmaid or Bride and wanted to do this, feel free to curl your ponytail!   

The key to this hairstyle are the lovely clips which I bought online few years back!  There are a lot of good and inexpensive ones on both Lazada and Shopee.

Feel free to watch my quick IG Video below if you want to see how easyit is to achieve such hairtyle!  Hairspray is needed if you have super soft hair!

KVD Beauty MODCON Liquid Gel Blush Review

 

KVD - Kat Von D.

The most sought after make up brand as a Beauty Blogger/Enthusiast.  

I remembered wanting/trying to get my hands on Kat Von D products but I just don’t have the means beause I don’t like to order online anymore as I need to pick them up at local post offices.  

Resellers?  There are a lot of them but I do not personally know legit ones and I am obviously afraid of fakes!

So thankful for Sephora  because I can be assured of the authenticity of the makeup and skincare products.

So there…that is an intro!  Hahaha  Seriously, I was invited to KVD Beauty’s Online event 2 weeks ago and I learned so much from Nikki Wolf.  Through the process of makeup application, there are 2 products I SUPER want to try!  Their Tattoo Liner and these MODCON Liquid Gel Blush!

I hailed these the most unique blush texture I have tried to date ——

Turkish Finds Lambskin Leather Bag (Burnt Sienna)

 

Hello everyone!  Ahh, I have found a super nice leather bag for 2021!  I haven’t shopped any clothing, footwear, bags since the start of 2021.  I mean look!  Where do I usually go?  I can count using my fingers the times I go out and it’s all visit to my parent’s Home.  Ahhh how much I missed them!

But before you go…why would you dress up going to your parents home?  Well, I always do!  Not in a fashionable way —- in my own personal style + FACE MASK!

I love the mom jeans I bought online and the knitted sleeveless top!  I honestly wear them at HOME!  So yes, it was like me wearing home clothes outside!  Why do I dress up even at home?  

Online work!  I have a couple of Zoom meetings or calls every now and then and I want to make sure that I look “ready” and “professional” when the caller would suddenly request for Video Calls.  They usually do not require video calls but out of respect, I guess that is a TEACHER IN ME, I wanted the person to see my facial expressions, my face, just to let them know how important they are to me for me to at least look half decent and meet them eye to eye! :D

 

That’s just my 2 cents.  

My parents and brother had COVID scare so I stopped going there for 2 months.   After testing negative in the Swab test, I finally gave myself a go to visit them once again and look at my excited face behind the mask!

Inside my Turkish Finds Lambskin Leather bag are the following —- Face Shield, Alcohol, Wallet, Shades, Keys and some snacks!

Whenever I am out, I tend not to eat and drink so I make sure I have enough snacks inside my bag whenever I go back to my car and eat while I drive —- well not literally WHITE DRIVING but in between traffic and long stops! (P.S. You only do that when you are very much aware of your driving, if you can’t multi-task, please do not FOLLOW ME!  I have ulcer/GERD so I need to eat every now and then!)

The bag comes in SEVERAL Colors, and I finally decided to go for the shade Burnt Sienna for it’s unique color and texture.  It has a “torched leather” kind of feel to it so this won my heart.
