Halloween🎃2016

The most awaited season of October! My kids are always super excited for Halloween. Maybe because they have a chance to become what they want to be kahit na just for one day lang. And maybe because of the sweet treats  na rin. 

This is my little Girl wearing my DIY Maleficent costume. She really loved it even though the horn is a little bit heavy. Her kuya naman is wearing his last year’s Halloween costume, Superman.

We started this western tradition here in our place in Maragondon Cavite last 2014. My eldest son gave me an idea. He asked me bakit daw hindi sila nag trick or treat. So since no one is doing trick or treating here, we tried it and other kids from the neighborhood already followed us from doing it every year. And I’m glad we started that tradition here. 

So how bout you what’s your Halloween🎃tradition?

My Updated Skin Care Routine (Taglish)

 

Hi!  I will share to you my updated skin care routine!

A little fact about me is that, I really have an oily face! As in super oily!
Pero may time din na dry yung skin ko. Siguro depends on the weather din yun.

So for my Facial wash I’m curently using Natural Fairness Face Wash
I’ve been using this for 2 weeks already and napansin ko na mas naging soft and supple yung skin ko.
Chaka matipid din sya gamitin kasi kahit small amount lang ilagay ko enough na para macover or malagyan yung buong face ko.
Then I really love the smell! Super mild lang ng amoy nya parang baby ung amoy na diko maexplain 😀 point is, hindi
matapang/mabaho ung amoy nya.
I dont really know the price nito kasi padala lang to sakin ng sis ko galing abroad. So i have no idea! hehe
ayun then after washing my face, I used Nivea Natural Fairness Day Care cream. It’s in a small 50 ml tub container.
Yung consistency
nya parang sa regular cream lang din. What I love about this, hindi lang sya pampaputi or pampalambot ng face, moisturizer din sya
pero yung wow factor nya is hindi sya nagooily sa skin. I think after 5-10 minutes mo sya inapply sa face mo
nagmamattify sya. So plus point un sakin since I have oily face.

So ung nabanggit ko kanina yung Nivea Natural Fairness Facial Wash and Day Care cream yun ung ginagamit ko sa morning.
Punta naman tayo sa night facial routine ko.. Sa gabi gumagamit ako ng Ponds Acne Clear White Solution that fights 10 oily
and acne problems. Sa night ko lang sya ginagamit kasi pag facial scrub lagi ko gamit nagdadry masyado ung face ko.
Etong Ponds Acne Clear
matagal kona ginagamit and for me effective talaga to avoid acne problems. Tapos after ng scrub
magwash ulit ako ng Nivea Facial Wash then apply naman ako ng rejuvinating cream ng Dr. Alvin’s.

Ginagamit ko ung REJUVINATING CREAM NG dR. ALVINS SA GABI LNG KASI MEJO THICK UNG CONSISTENCY NYA KAYA PARANG MAINIT SA FACE
NAGBABATIK BATIK TALAGA UNG PAWIS SA MUKHA KO PAG SA MORNING KO SYA GINAMIT ESP PAG SUPER INIT.
PERO UNG EFFECT NYA SA FACE KO SUPER NAGUSTUHAN KO KASI MAGALING MAGPAPUTI BASTA MAGANDA EFFECT NYA SA SKIN KO
(PERO GUYS BEFORE USING ANY SKIN CARE PRODUCT ALWAYS REMEMBER TO DO A SKIN TEST FIRST SA HANDS NYO BEFORE SA FACE)
KASI MAMAYA HIYANG SA IBA PERO SAU DI MAGWORK BAKA MADAMAGE PA YUNG SKIN NYO. SO ALWAYS DO SKIN TESTING

AND THATS IT! Thanks!

REVIEW: Maybelline NY White Super Fresh Powder Foundation

The perfect balance between softness, radiance, and a matte finish makeup. This is an excellent option for those with normal to dry skin who want an easy-to-apply, compact powder foundation that feels wonderfully soft and smooth while providing light coverage.

It’s a shine-free powder foundation, with matte finish, long-wearing and very lightweight. Doesn’t sits on fine lines. The compact is discrete. Plus it’s has this glare effect on skin.

The Packaging

It comes in a white compact packaging with a mirror and sponge. The packaging is neat, sturdy, and discrete. The sponge can only be used from one side but it glides smoothly all over the face.

Application

This is appropriate for those with oily or combination skin, since pressed powder foundations control the excess shine and provide a good coverage. They are easy to apply and blend on easily without clogging the pores.

MeNow Pro Powder Matte Kiss Proof Soft Lipstick Review

Product Claims

A Soft Matte Lipstick Long wearing that last throughout the day. It lifts and hydrates the lips.

I have two shades to share with you today, Shade # 18 is I think Red velvet and the other one is Shade # 19 is a bright orange shade.

FAST FACTS

When I tried this lipstick it really transpire the color of each shade. It has this matte finish and very pigmented and opaque on the lips. However whilst applying them on my lips, I initially did feel that they are slightly drying.

The Packaging

Came with a small simple box with all the details and descriptions. It has also a small hole on the side of the box so you can see what shade it is. Inside it has also a a small handbill bout the product and how to apply it. The box also shows the manufacturing date and expiration date as well.

Application 

It is a colored pencil-like lipstick that needs a big sharpener. I just wish it was a twist-up tube. The cap has good grip in permanent bullet type so you do not need to worry about getting it loose and smearing the lipstick all around. And you should apply it quickly, otherwise it will not look even.

VERDICT

Pros:

• Very affordable at P150.00 each
•  Beautiful shades that is easy to wear.
• Glides easily on to the lips.
•  It does not settle in fine lines.
• Long Lasting
• Highly Pigmented.
• The cap has color coding
• It really has this matte or velvet finish
• Caps fits perfectly so no need to worry that it will come off inside your pouch.

Cons:

• Colored pencil-like lipstick (for me I prefer twist-up tube)
• It has pungent smell
• Slightly drying/cracks overtime
• It would be very easy if we do not have to sharpen it regularly.

Where to buy?

Actually I bought this from my sister-in-law’s officemate. Here’s the link:

 https://web.facebook.com/Alida-Line-222990171376417/?pnref=story&__mref=message_bubble

She sells it for P150 EACH. But I saw some other seller on IG which is way cheaper like for only P120 each. So you might want to browse for other online store for much cheaper one.

What is the only Permanent in this world?

Have you ever think, is there any permanent in this world? If yes, then what is it?

Sometimes I tend to zone out, and the first thing that pops out in my mind is that, I really, really wish I would have enough time to do everything I wanted. Three of those things is that, I will have sufficient amount of time to be with my love ones, the second is to fulfill my dream to be a successful writer, makeup artist, and painter, and the third is to travel the world.

It’s a really competitive world out there. Sometimes we’re on top, sometimes we’re at the bottom. Struggles will always be there, and the key to being happy or successful is, on how you cope up and move forward.

When I was a kindergarten, and I was in school, I remember, that when I saw my mom leaving, I tend to cry. I really don’t like it when my mom leaves me after she sends me to school because one of my girl classmates is a bully. She always pinched me whenever she comes near me. I don’t know what her reason, but I was so scared of her that I never told my teacher about it or even my mom. So I grew up like that, I don’t really like it when my mom or dad is away from me. Maybe because they never told me to be independent. My mom always does the chores and everything. All I have to do is eat, go to school, play, watch TV and sleep. I never realize how hard it is when I was in my college days after my graduation, I had a major “change” in my life. Change that really shocked me. I got pregnant with my long-distance boyfriend after my graduation. So I never got the chance to pursue my career, because I was having my first baby. So part of that prostration is that after knowing I was pregnant, our parents decided for moral actions. We got married at the age of 19 years old. And it only means that I won’t be living with my parents anymore. That “change” really affects me a lot. Imagine I grew up, they were always at my side, at home or at school, or even in malls, then suddenly I was living my own life without them near me. I was so emotional after our wedding because when I saw my parents leaving me here at my in-laws, I really felt alone for some reason(s). Maybe because it really happened so fast. But I never regret anything that happened to me in the past. Because it made me stronger and happier. I am blessed with a good, faithful, responsible, funny and loving man, plus beautiful and smart babies.

So for me the only permanent in this world is .

And it’s inevitable. So all you have to do is sit back, relax, and let God take the wheel. Everything that’s happening in our life is in God’s plan. And in God’s plan everything will be ok.

Travel: Cebu to Cavite

I will surely miss Cebu, Philippines. Cebu is really beautiful, plus has lots of wonderful white sand beaches.
What a great place to spend your vacation!

I will miss my parents too! Because currently they live there in Cebu. Wish I could stay and live with them, but my husband is here in Cavite. I miss being their daughter. Or should I say I miss living with them. I love my parents so much, it hurts me to go on with my life without them near me. God knows I do love them. I guess growing up is pretty tough. Especially in decision making.I can’t thank my parents enough. I will miss them both! See you soon NANAY AND TATAY! Goodbye, Cebu! ‘Till our next visit.

Halloween 2015

Everyone loves trick or treating. But do you all now, how does Halloween start? As far as I know, Halloween is an ancient festival of the dead. My mom told me that it was then when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off roaming ghosts.

I remember when I was 5 years old, me and my cousins used to sing Halloween carolings house after house. In return, people would give us money. After that, we would divide it and buy candies. It’s a local practice here in the Philippines, especially in the provinces. But in other countries they do trick or treating.

This month we also give prayers to our dead loved ones, relatives, or friends. May God lift their souls in the purgatory and live eternally with our Father in heaven.

And for this year’s Halloween celebration, our neighbor organized a small Halloween party for the little ones.  Prices were given, food, cakes, toys, balloons and parlor games. Kids really enjoyed it! My babies even got the best costume award yay! Happy Halloween everyone!

 

 

Dining on Buffet 101

a little review on BUFFET 101 @ SM MOA, The “Largest Buffet Restaurant in the Philippines”. It was a great GastronomicalExpirience! What a restaurant for every taste, whether you want to try the modern danish kitchen, the Asian kitchen or the french cuisine. I can’t describe every single dish because there’s too much food! A little bit of everything. From appetizers to the main course. From desserts to drinks. It’s heaven!

I have never been a huge fan of buffets simply because I never seem to enjoy them much. Too much food to eat all at once that you cannot savour the tastes. Buffet 101 has been the only establishment that I seem to tolerate for the ultimate food binges. They have a good selection of Japanese sushi and sashimi as well as more Asian and continental fares. The salad and dessert bars are also widely varied. Peeps with birthdays eat for free and get a complimentary cake. For the price, you get very good value on the dinner buffet. It’s also good to see a head chef overseeing the kitchen and the different stations, which were refilled very quickly. Portioning is good, and they won’t scrimp when you request for more. We also had some good roast Chinese meats, including duck.  I definitely would recommend this place if you want to food binge.

Big thanks to my Ate Flor for inviting me to come at Ate Chin’s birthday.
