Product Review: Face of Australia Gentle Makeup Remover

Image
One of the many things I make sure I don't run out of is a makeup remover.  With all the gunk I put on my face, mostly waterproof, it would definitely be a nightmare if I go home and find out I don't have anything to take it off with. We all know that soap and water no longer do the trick, most especially if you're a sucker for waterproof mascaras, eyeliners and long-wearing foundations.  I've tried a number of makeup removers already, and have found my favorites, but the makeup junkie in me will never stop from looking for alternatives.   For today, I'll be telling you about my current favorite makeup remover: Face of Australia Gentle Make-Up Remover A dual phase formula containing no Oil or Parabens.  This super gentle fluid is activated when liquid is shaken combining the two phases for the ultimate makeup removal. With a tear-compatible PH, this fragrance-free formula melts away all types of makeup including stay put and waterproof and will not stin...

Last month, I got an invite for a lovely dinner at Wildflour at The Fort, and a sneak peek of Majolica Majorca's newest chapter, Secret Blink .

Shoe haul...

Image
I want to say I am not a shoe-holic, but when I saw my shoe rack and the number of shoe boxes of those I haven't used yet, I think I'm not gonna say anything na lang .  Less talk, less mistake. So yeah, no comment! (laughs) Okay fine. I am addicted to shoes.  But don't get me wrong, I am still not the Imeldific -type.  I don't think I have more than 30 pairs as of the moment..okay, not more than 50.  So yeah, I am not in anyway near to being like that.  And besides, the priciest I have would be my Melissa shoes.  Oh geez, I so love their shoes.  I remember I went wacko early this year that I bought 2 pairs in just one week.  I still have a number of their shoes in my wishlist, but for now, I think I would have to make tiis for a bit (I am trying to save up for another pricey purchase for my burday, that's why) and satisfy my cravings for shoes by buying cheap, but still cutey pairs. So where do I go for such pairs? To St. Francis Sq...

Sappe Beauti Drinks: Beauty Drinks on the Go...

Image
Have you heard about Sappe Beauti Drinks?  I asked because when I first posted it on my Instagram, a lot of people asked what it is and where is it from.  Sappe Beauti Drink is a functional beauty drink for people on the go.  It's made in Thailand, and apparently, from the same company who made the yummy (and cute) Mogu Mogu drinks.   Honestly, when I was asked thru email if it's okay to send me samples, I said Yes without reading more info about the product.  Well, ako na ang atat !  Anything about beauty (or beauti) interests me..so I gave them a go.  When I finally got the box, and saw the packaging, I was a bit apprehensive at first. Well, vain na kung vain but you can't expect me to start downing a bottle just like that. I did some research and from then on, I try to have at least one of the two variants everyday. ^_^ Now, let me tell you what these beauti drinks are all about and why they are good for us... Sappe Beauti Drin...

Shiseido's Luminizing Satin Eye Color Trio in Pink Sands..

Image
I've known Shiseido since college because my mom's like a walking advertisement of the brand back then.  She lived in Japan for a while and since then, Shiseido has been her Holy Grail when it comes to skincare.  And recently, we are starting to fall in love with their makeup too! I'm fortunate to have been given a chance to try out some items from their Spring-Summer collection.   For this post, I'll be showing you their Luminizing Satin Eye Color Trio in Pink Sands: housed in a sleek, shiny black case, this eyeshadow palette is so sophisticated-looking.  in short, sosyal! ^_^ don't you just love that simple, yet classy logo? it comes with a big, clear mirror too! it does come with a brush too...but you know me, I can be really choosy when it comes to makeup brushes. it has these 3 lovely, blendable, silky smooth and pigmented colors that can be used either on its own or together.  The first shade can be used as a li...

MAC x Archie Collection is finally here!

Image
I've always loved reading Archie.  I remember saving my allowance just to buy my own copy. Back then, these comics don't come cheap, most especially to a student.  But I didn't mind. I would happily skip my favorite burger + chocolate drink for days just to save enough moolah to buy an Archie digest. The rivalry between the best frenemies Betty and Veronica never fails to amuse me.  And so I thought love triangles only exist in comics.  ^_^ So when the news came out that MAC and Archie will be collaborating, I just knew my wallet is in trouble.  I don't get to buy makeup that much anymore, but for Archie, I would.  ^_^ I patiently waited for the collection to arrive.  Aside from fearing for my wallet, I'm also afraid not to be able to get anything as I'm pretty sure this collection will be a hit.  Little did I know that I didn't have to worry at all... The universe might have heard my plea, and sent me these:    ...
