Secosana’s 25th Anniversary Collection - What I Got!

 

I just love neutral-colored bags!

Secosana has been around for 25 years!  I am NOT surprised I always see the in major department stores when my husband and I were in College — dating!  :P  Yeah we go way back!

So when I was sent a special bag under their 25th Year Anniversary Collection, it brought back so much good ‘ol memories.  These bags are proudly PHILIPPINE-made and I am so happy how they were conscious enough to add some extras in time for the pandemic….

Can you see that cute pouch hanging?  It is an alcohol dispenser!  You can easily refill it!  I also love that it’s hanging outside so I don’t need to open my bag each time I needed to use an alcohol!

This bag is more of a handbag size around less than 20 inches in length and height.  It comees with a gold hardware but feel free not to use it, that bag includes a long faux leather straps wherein you can use it as a bodybag or sling bag, perfect for moms who needed to free 2 hands!

But this can easily transform from a casual bag to a cocktail bag or formal events bag!  Do you agree?

NEW! Clinique Moisture Surge 100HR Auto-Replenishing Hydrator

 

Clinique Moisture Surge is dear to me…. I’ve finished a them in a flash since 2008 

For a product that helped my dry skin, this product became a staple for me no matter how much skincare products I’ve tried and tested.  I personally LOVE to use this as a “mask”, a mask I apply thickly on a weekly bases on top of my moisturized skin before I sleep!  

This is also my choice of moisturizer on summer days because of its’ lightweight texture and easily gets absorbed into skin properies.

And the Hydrator I love had another makeover this 2021 —- from 72HR to 100HR!  And the best part, they finally advertised this as an overall hydrator - can be used on skin, hair and nails!  FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT!  I have been using this to treat my dry heels and cuticles for a looong time!

So I am currently using this upgraded version!  TBH, there’s ONLY a slight difference but for a super long time user like myself, I can see how much more lightweight this moisturizer is, more watery and gets absorbed into skin better than the original - I can’t believe there’s such tiny difference but there is!

Clinique is available in Official Flagship Store in Lazada.

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.

Available at Watsons Philippines

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!
