One sure-fire way to beat a dull-looking face is applying blush.  It's like you're all pale then suddenly, there's a flush of color on your cheeks which makes you look fresh.  Bronzer is good too because it adds shadows so when applied the right way, it does some contouring action.

And when put together in a compact, it's so much better. 


Here's a duo from the drugstore to check out.  For only 349 php, you'd get a pretty combination of cheek colors.  I believe Pink Sugar also has these in single pans.  Mine comes with Miss Independent and Morocco.


At first, I thought the colors would be too light on my skin but after swatching I was surprised about the pigmentation.  However, it's not the kind of scary cheek color that you'd need to apply lightly.  It's hard to overdo your blush with these but color payoff is still good.


Miss Independent is a rosy blush while Morocco is like a blush/bronzer color.  It's not too ashy to be a contour shade nor too orange.  There's a tiny hint of pink with this one.


The compact is in good quality and it even comes with a mirror.  Still no cracks even if I often bring it with me.


They are both powder but they don't come as chalky nor dusty when applied.  The product can easily be picked up by any brush.


Colors stay on my oily skin but do come off when I blot.  That's actually no biggie because they are powder blushes so I don't expect them to be long-lasting anyway.


Even if I'm obsessed with tints or mousse-like lipsticks that I do use on my cheeks as well, most of the time I can't be bothered with blush application so having a powder type is nice and convenient.  Just a little dust on the cheeks and light shading, I'm good to go.  It saves me time from all of the blending.

Sharing some photos from our Taiwan trip last November.  For the itinerary, check out the description box via the Youtube video link below.  I also included the expenses to give you an idea how much you'd need in case you're planning to go there too.

We're able to score discounted tickets via Cebu Pacific but as expected, flight timings are not too favorable.  

For our accommodation, we opted for Airbnb than budget hotels.  We got a very spacious place located at the perimeter of Ximending night market.

We exchanged php at NAIA.  For 9,000 php, I got 4,500 ntd.  I spent it only for the food/drinks, transportation, sky lantern and few pasalubong because for Airbnb, tour, pocket wifi and others, I used my credit card.  I still had 700 ntd left after the trip.


We really planned for a DIY tour around Taipei because we learned that commuting is convenient.  We got our Easy Card from Family Mart and loaded 100 NTD initially. 


However, to maximize the time I suggest book a tour or if the tourist spot seems far away from MRT stations, take a cab.  Since probably you're going in a group, shared fares shouldn't be that expensive.


For our day tour in the north, we booked through Klook.  We hopped on the bus at 9:00 AM and got back to Ximen station at 6:00 PM.

There's a total of 6 stops but if ever you're going via rented private car, you can probably skip the waterfalls.  


Two of my favorites are the Yehliu Geopark and sky lantern.  The Jiufen old town seemed interesting too but we're not able to go around because of the heavy rain.


On our last day, we rode the Maokong Gondola and spent the rest of the day shopping for pasalubong, taking IG photos (lol) and strolling Ximending night market since it's near our place.

We left the Airbnb at 10:00 PM and went to the airport via MRT which took about 30 minutes. 


That's it!  Please don't forget to subscribe if you haven't already and show some love by hitting the like button.  Feel free to drop your questions on the comment section too!
