Hey, guys!  I just want to share this new skin care product that I've been using for a couple of days  already.  It's called Sunflower Oil from Human Nature.  It's a shop that sells a lot of organic and 100% natural beauty products.  I won't be doing a review today because as always, I want to try it for some time first, maybe few weeks would do.  I'll share the results to you after that, so stay tuned! :)

Hello, friends!!   Just recently, I received a gift from iWhite.  I'm very excited to use them!  Well, actually, I'm already trying the Facial Cream.  But I'll stop my story here.  HAHA!  I'll be doing a separate post for each product that I got.  So, please watch out for that. :)

An eyeshadow palette like this one has been in my wish list ever since I became passionate about makeup.  Lakas lang maka-feeling makeup artist.  HAHA!  One downside is that, it's not easy to bring it anywhere.  Well, unless you have a pretty sturdy train case because placing it inside a bag will make it a bit prone to breakage.

BH Cosmetics is a U.S. brand that is known for high-quality (at the same time, affordable) and absolutely pigmented makeup palettes.  They have up to 120 colors, covering the neutrals, smokey, glamorous, and even shimmery.

Singapore hawkers in Manila?  Yes, found one in SM Megamall.  I think they renovated the old Orchard Road restaurant and named it as My Singapore Food Street. 

Puerto Galera, Caliraya Laguna then for this month... hello, Canyon Cove Batangas!  I'm the happiest when I travel.  Even if it's tiring and causes sleep deprivation sometimes, for me, it's always worth it.   I can't wait for my Boracay 2013 trip.  Yay!

Rushing your makeup every morning when going to work or school is normal, but you can avoid that by following these tips.  Sometimes, the more you rush things, the more you tend to mess everything up.  You don't even have to spend at least 15 to 30 minutes for your everyday makeup routine.  This video will show you how you can lessen the time you spend when doing your makeup. :)

No. 1 - Use a big mirror.

You can easily spot uneven applications by using a big and clean mirror.


No. 2 - Use small and light strokes.

This is true for eye shadow and eyeliner.  Trust me.  Blending will be easy-breezy.  


No. 3 - Even if you're in a hurry, don't freak out and don't rush.

You only have 10 minutes left to do your makeup.  You're already late.  But still, don't freak out.  :)  The least thing you don't want to happen is to re-do your makeup.


No. 4 - Apply small amount of product.

It's easier to build up the color than removing it.


No. 5 - Clean your brushes beforehand.

Wiping off the residues from your brushes everytime you use them can take up time already.  So, make sure they are always clean.  You can do that in your free time.  :)


No. 6 - Use a primer.

Using a face primer makes the application a lot easier because your skin becomes smoother.


No. 7 - Don't just rely on your brushes.  Use your fingers.

Cream-based products are often difficult to blend.  By using your fingers, the makeup will somehow melt resulting to an easier application.


No. 8 - Organize your makeup.

Finding a single eyeliner or lipstick from your cluttered desk or makeup bag can sometimes eat up one minute or two already.  Make it a habit to organize them.


Another tip would be, sticking to your regular makeup look and experiment later.  Since you want to save time, go for something that you're used to already.  For example, a neutral eye makeup that's so easy and fast to create.  Let's say that it's just for everyday look, so avoid doing complicated things to your face.  :)

How about you?  What can you add here?

Hope this helps.  Good luck!

your sweetest drug,

Here's another video I edited out of the latest one that I uploaded.  If you haven't seen that, click here.  I discovered this from one of Michelle Phan's tutorials.  This is one way of maximizing your eyeliner pencil... very helpful!  We all know that using a pencil to line the eyes can be difficult sometimes.  The solution... melting it and using an eyeliner brush instead.

With just 2 easy steps, you'll have a gel/cream liner finish.  What you'll need is something that can produce heat or steam.  Obviously, anything that can melt the product.  In my case, a laptop fan! :)

Here's the video... enjoy!

Just make sure to stop the "melting" when you're starting to see some shine.  That means that it's already soft enough to pick up with your brush.  If you're planning to melt your liner with a hair blower, remember to use low heat setting.

Go ahead and try it with your gel liner too.  If it gets a little hard or dry, don't throw it away.  You can revive it using this steps.

Some photos below. :)







Good luck!

*excuse my dirty laptop HAHA :P

your sweetest drug,

Before the long weekend, we had a very spontaneous dine out.  It's my third time at Tong Yang and I must say so far, that it's the only buffet place that can make me sing the Korean Beef Song.  HAHA!

It was another boys night out.  I went with Roy, Kim and Kris.  Jupiter branch is only a quick drive   from office and I prefer it than Megamall branch.  DEFINITELY!  Why?  Because they serve unli MEAT!  (I have to emphasize that.... very important. :P)

Tong Yang is a shabu-shabu slash yakiniku type of buffet.  For just around 600 pesos, you can have unlimited seafood, meat, dessert, dumplings and drinks (plus beer). 


Basically, you just throw everything in. :P


Here they are!!!! Pile of Shredded meat!! Oh my! My fave here is the reddest of them all! HAHA!


I like to wrap my precious beef with fresh lettuce.  Parang nakikita ko lang sa Korean Shows. :) 
Massiseoyo!



Another reason to love Tong Yang is because they have cilantro (wansoy).  Try their satay sauce.  Perfect for grilled meat and seafood.



Their ice cream was really really good!  Here are some photos taken last year, my first visit.


They have various seafood, but sadly, salmon is not one of them. :( (salmon belly only)


Satisfied... as always. :)
