3CE Velvet Lip Tint in Daffodil Review

 

Have you been seeing a lot of 3CE raves on all social media platforms?

I have seen a lot!  On Instagram, Tiktok and Youtube!  I mean what’s so unique about them?  I have used and tried so many lip products and things are getting better even for drugstore brands like Maybelline - they are lightweight and long-lasting and transfer-proof!  What’s there to love more for brands like 3CE?

To try is to believe!

After getting my own 3CE Velvet Lip Tint locally from BeautyScout.ph , super floored!

3CE Velvet Lip Tints

Shade: Daffodil

Price: Php950.00

Available at BeautyScout PH

Housed in a nice packaging with the same shade as that of the lip color!  I like the doe-foot applicator and how easy this is to spot in my dresser!  The shade I got Daffodil is close to Brownish red on a warmer side.  Some call this dirty red —- RED + BROWN (kind of soil-like).  I like this shade!  You pick this shade if you cannot invest on a bright red lip color but you want to stand out in the most subtle way possible!  

If you like to stand out on parties (if parties are back!). This may not be your choice of shade as there are other brighter shades available in the Velvet Lip Tint Line.

The rainy days are really here!  It has been raining nonstop for good 6 days to almost a week and the Philippines is suffering in terms of Flood and extreme traffic.  I wish things will be better soon not only for our nation but also for other countries.  

Since I am still stuck at home - PANDEMIC + STRONG RAIN

I don’t want my home life to be “shi**y” as they say, so I’ve decided to pain my nails quickly and do a simple nail art.  I am inspired by the dainty pieces I own (rings!)  so here you go.

Base Color: GirlStuff nail lacquer in Fresh

Gold tip: Girlstuff Nail Lacquer in Vibe with Me

Sparkles: Orly Kick Glass

Base and top coat: Barry M

I am happy with the result!

What’s your next nail art request?

Any theme in mind?

Live the Life Of Your Dreams Home Edition

One major thing I missed during pandemic is our yearly hotel stays whenever my brother visits.  It was actually my responsibility to book at least 2 hotel stays a year for the whole family!  My brother’s requirement?  To step into a grand hotel lobby and entering a luxe hotel room that would bring a special kind of magic for both my parents and the kids!  But imagine doing that on a daily basis as your home!  That’s why I told him about investing on a residence that has this magical moment. 

Turns out, it was already part of his plan and he was actually set for several oculars last year.  Since pandemic happened, everything was put on hold as my list of places to visit goes longer.  But I’ve found one that I’ve decided to put on top spot!  

 

RLC Residences, property giant Robinsons Land Corporation’s Residential brand, has made this lavish hotel-like lifestyle possible with Marriott International, Inc. by bringing to life The Residences at The Westin Manila Sonata Place. Located at the heart of Ortigas Center, this luxurious condominium development is a prime example of the brand’s thrust to Raise, Live, and Connect Filipinos lives. 

The Residences at The Westin Manila Sonata Place is designed with RLC Residences’ mindset of raising the standards of living by providing state-of-the-art amenities and services and units designed to suit Filipinos like you at any stage in your life.

Ootd: K-Fashion

 

If you love KPOP and Korean fashion, you have probably seen this style of clothing!  

Short skirts - I changed it to skort because I want to move around freely.

A light sweater top and I had to go for the one with heart on it!  

Since my hair is long and not as layered as before, I can finally do pigtails without having flyaway hairs!  Okay, don’t bash me, this is an oldie trying to look like a teenager…why can’t we right?

As I stated on my IG Post, no rules in fashion, hairstyle and makeup!  Just choose to feel good and be YOU.  

By the way, I got my top HERE and my skort from Hong Kong.  

What’s your current fashion style?

Keep smilin'

Stay happy!

 

Le Couleur Professional Hair Steam Iron Review

 

I love all sorts of hairstyling tools!!!  You could see that interest whenever I post hair products/hair related stuff here on the blog!

From my first Hair Straightening Iron in 2008 (JML for the win! Still working until this very day!) to purchasing a MINI Hair Iron for the bangs (Shoot, I never get to use it until this very day!).  I love my heating tools so much I even purchase a Hot Iron Holster!

I even bought my first curling iron and had to purchase a separate Transformer because I can’t wait for the Asian version!  

My hair tools and hair stories could go on and on but I’ll spare you for that!  What gave me the inspiration to talk about my hair past is because of my newest hair tools addition to my humble family!  The Le Couleur Professional Hair Steam Iron!

Le Couleur Professional Hair Steam Iron Details (Taken from HairMNL.com)

High performance shine for your hair without the damage.

Vapor infused, allowing water ions to penetrate into the hair, from the tip to the roots, locking 90% of the moisture and adding 50% more moisture to the hair. 

Innovative straight hair hydration technology for silky-looking natural and healthy hair.

I have done research before doing this blog post, I have been searching high and low about this brand and this specific model and found not a lot of reviews online!  But when you check out the website, you would be surprised with the wide range of (not only hair straightening) but salon tools!  They even have their own brand of Barber’s chair!

So back to this product which is priced at HairMNL for Php8,800.00.  Not the most expensive in the market but you’ll definitely find something cheaper.  So I would put this under mid-range and I am ready to spill the beans after using this for almost a month!

AMW says—-

Pros

• Love the sleek look and color of this Hair Steam Iron.
• Comes with steam so hair is not as hot to handle while using.
• Easy to use.
• Has digital screen making it easy to see and control the temperature.
• Comes with 3 buttons at the side so lesser accidents while using.
• Hair indeed looks smoother and silkier even after use.
• The steam that comes out goes straight to the hair, never on the direction of my hands or fingers so I don’t have any burn or accident so far.
• Swivel cord. 
• The steam container is placed at the right position so it isn’t hard to use the hair steam iron.  
• Maximum of 230 degress which is just the right heat without damaging hair.
• Can straighten and curl the hair.
• Iron can be used with or without steam.  There is an on/off switch for that.

Cons

• It is very difficult for me to fill up the “steam” container.  I am unsure if I should put the whole iron directly to fill up the water container but I worry about it being broken so I used a syringe in filling up the container with water.  
• The container cannot be removed so if you feel like you don’t want to have this extra plactic container while you use the iron, well, you have to live with it :)
