Love Bonito First Haul

 

I've been seeing Love Bonito Hauls online for so long.  I've been meaning to shop but I am so lazy to worry about the right size so I pushed the thought aside.

Thankfully, because of their biggest mid-year sale, I've decided to give it a go this month and guess what?  I AM SO HAPPY WITH MY FIRST PURCHASE there are 2 deliveries scheduled to deliver because I was hooked!


Love Bonito Mid Year 6.6 sale

:Please forgive my crumpled OOTDs.  I literally wore this when I "unboxed" my newly arrived package!  It took me around a week to get this order but for SALE season, you have to be patient as it will take longer time for them to fulfill your orders!

Back to my OOTD!

Outfit 1: Sandrine Twist Strap 
Size: Medium
Good quality cloth with pockets!  The color is unique and nice and would work for black, brown or even white belts!  Check my next OOTDs!

Cathy Kathy Hand and Foot Masques Review

 

Cathy Kathy goes beyond scented candles and gel polishes.

They recently launched their Hand Masque and Foot Masque and I was so happy to try these out!  

What I love about these products are the easily-tear tips for both hand and foot masques making it easy for me to move around and do my usual tasks without feeling helpless.


In every pack, you get clear instructions like so.


I love that both masques are non-sticky.  You get ample amount of products to spread all over your hands, arms and even body!  


Watch how I can easily use these without even following instructions.  After testing both out, I ended up purchasing more and use these once or twice a week depending on how busy my schedule is.


Overall, a BIG THUMBS UP!!!


Keep smilin'
Stay happy!

Barenbliss Korean Bloom Matte Full Bloom Long Lasting Tint

 

The first time I tried Velvet lip tints are from Korean brands that are quite pricey —- CLIO, PERI PERA, etc….

I recently chanced upon the brand BarenBliss which has been making waves not only on Beauty Blogs but in the Tiktok and IG world!  I was hesitant to try these because of the inexpensive price range —- I have very sensitive and dry lips, it’s not that I do not trust drugstore brand, it is just be being careful not to have Angelina-JOLIPS again after some allergic reactions!

Back to the story, I got to the Barenbliss Korean Bloom Matte Full Bloom Transfer Proof Long Lasting Tints  - such a mouthful!  But I usually go for Velvet lip products insitead of matte ones because of the extreme dryness.  

Spoiler alert!  It did not further dry  my lips and the products are extremely nice and let us also stop and just appreciate the colors!



I tried 2 shades - 01 Fresh Dawn and 06 Sassy Season
Php399.00 (Now on Sale at Lazada for Php274.00)
BUY HERE


01 Fresh Dawn


Fresh dawn is a cool tone peach brown shade.  It works even for me who have extremely warm complexion.  I just have to apply blush to keep my whole face alive!

Welcome OATSIDE!

 




Last May 9, 2023, I went to Intramuros to witness the launch of an oat milk brand that has swept across Asia since early 2022!  

I have been offered free upgrade with OATSIDE in some coffee shops when I ordered my fave cup of Latte.  I always say NO because I am so afraid the taste of my coffee will change!  

When I attended this launch, it totally changed my mind on what OAT MILK can do to my favorite coffee - instead of masking the taste of my coffee, it can actually enhance and make it taste even better!!  Before I gush on about how I love my Oatside coffee, let me share to you what happened during the event.



Singaporean Founder and CEO Benedict Lim began OATSIDE when he saw a gap in the market for plant-based milk that offers a creamy and malty taste profile that is familiar to people who don’t typically drink plant milks.  We know that taste is often a barrier for more people adopting sustainable milks so his goal is to develop an oat milk that could overcome these perceptions.  It was challenging developing such product according to Mr. Lim but obviously, he was able to manage it and succeed in flying colors!

OATSIDE is one of Asia’s few “full-stack” plant milk start-ups.  OATSIDE has retained full jurisdiction over their entire production process, from sourcing its Australian oats to oat extraction to filling.  This allows customization in the production process of our delicious oat milk and the ability to ensure that only sustainbly-sourced ingredients of the highest quality are used.  OATSIDE is plant-based, lactose-free, cholesterol-free and low in saturated fats.

 

Sustainability has been core to the mission of driving plant-based milks globally – production of oat milk requires 90% less land and water and produces 70% less emissions as compared to the production of cow’s milk, which makes it much more sustainable.
