Newly-Opened Sales Hub to SYNC Your Life with Your Dreams

 

My brother, who is an architect in China wants to stay updated with residences offered here in the Philippines!  I’ve said it a couple of times in my blog about our journey around the Metro looking for a nice place to be called Home and a place for investment!  With a top-notcher Architect Brother on my side (Top20 in the Philippines) whenever we do some oculars, I get some ideas on what to watch out for.

Since RLC Residences was officially launched to the public, I already put this on our list-to-visit when my brother comes home for a visit after the pandemic! 

 

SYNC, is an uban oasis along C5 Road by RLC Residences.  Officially opening SYNC Sales Hub are key executives from RLC Residences.

Leading the ribbon-cutting ceremony and officially opening the Sales Hub are Head of Raise Sales Channel Ms. Cecille M. Mozo, Senior Director for Business Development Department Engr. Edgardo Samson, Associate Marketing Director Ms. Kristynne B. Tan, and SYNC Project/Site Architect, Arch. Roquelle Joy Egagamao-Batocabe.

Update: Nose Contour Technique

 

I wish I could get a nose surgery…seriously…if that’s one thing I can get to do on my face….nose it is!

I mean obviously, there are several parts of my face that I want to change….(just being honest here) BUT, I can do away with false lashes, to make my eyes appear larger, I honestly like my one-liner eye whenever I smile but there’s nothing I can do to change my nose unless I use makeup.

Obviously, even when I get to be offered with free NOSE surgery, I will NEVER take the offer —- for so many reasons.

1. I’m a scaredy cat.

2. I have many allergies so beauty enhancements with surgery will NEVER cross my mind.

3. My husband loves my nose as it is….he’s fallen in love with me since Senior High ok? :P  (Haba  ng hair ko I know! :P)

So through the years, I almost perfected nose contouring especially my own!  So please…don’t judge me when you see me in person —- it’s not the filter…it’s always the makeup for me! :P

Can you spot the difference in both photos? 

If you have to look closely, that is a compliment for me, that means, the change is subtle you have to look closely to see the change! 

A quick video shared on my Instagram account using Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage Concealer Duo!  The easiest tool to use not only to conceal but to contour and highlight.

Hairstyle Tutorial: Ribbon-Tail

Lady Gaga days..ahhhh I still remember thosedays when everyone’s been doing ribbon-hairstyle but I just can’t manage to create one because number 1, my hair is short and number 2, my hair used to be super layered!  

Honestly, if not because of COVID-19, I am probably stll sporting a shoulder-length layered cut because I have this addiction to spend time and relax in a salon!  

Because.I have been sharing ideas on how to upstyle your regular ponytail —- yes, I have been living on ponytail since Pandemic because I want to make sure my hair is out of my face whenever I go out!  Here’s another take of a ponytail style!

UFO 2 by FOREO Review

 

Do you still remember my first UFO By Foreo review writtten a year ago?  I even showed my Before and After photo after a week plus usage!  Some of you may say: “But I don’t see a difference!” Or “You already have good skin!”

I feel and see the difference myself and I honestly may have good skin as they say but the time I got pregnant and was breastfeeding, I DID NOT USE any skincare products at all and I saw the real texture and condition of my skin —- it wasn’t Blog-worthy!  It was so dry, flaky and there were a whole lot of zits growing aroud my lip area!  I did not write or review any skincare products that time or did any makeup looks so there weren’t any record of my bad skin!  It doesn’t help that I have PCOS so my hormones are crazy sometimes so I guess this short story is safe enough to say —- I wasn’t born with great skin!  I just highly invest on my skin with the right products!

Speaking about products, UFO By Foreo released UFO 2 and at the back of my head, I was thinking: “Really?  Is there anything else they needed to add from the first one?”

Left: UFO By Foreo
Right: UFO 2 By Foreo

I guess there were a couple I missed myself!  

What are the difference betwen UFO and UFO 2 by Foreo?

• UFO 2 offers a greater range of temperatures. UFO 2 heats 5x faster than UFO.
• UFO 2 has full spectrum LED light (Red, Blue, Green, White, Purple, Orange, Yellow and Cyan).  To know more about the features of each color, read it on FOREO Website)
• Both UFO and UFO 2 has Cryo-Therapy, Cryo-Therapy can help reduce puffiness, shrink pores, lift and firms skin.  UFO 2 offers greater range of temperature.
• T-Sonic Power of UFO 2 is up to 10,000 sonic pulsations per minute!  Highter than the first gen.
• UFO 2 is hailed to be better option if you have specific skin concern like oiliness, rosacea, etc…. It has more targeted treatment for such skin issues.

Same as UFO, you have a wide variety of FOREO Masks to try with the device.  From the UFO Activated Masks that I have tried in the past, I added new ones like Manuka Honey, H2Overdose, Call it a Night and Shimmer Freak!

• Manuka Honey: the revitalizing. Moisture of Manuka Honey leaves skin softer and younger-looking.
• H2Overdose: Ultra-Hydrating mask sheet.  An intense infusion of moisture to hydrate and replenish thirsty skin.
• Call It a Night: Revitalizing and Nourishing mask sheet.  Deeply nourishes and rejuvenates tired skin, leaving it smooth.
• Shimmer Freak: Illluminating Eye perfector.  For eyes that look completely refreshed, with an added hint of shimmer.
