It's been a while!

About a month ago while I was prepping to go to sleep my little one embraced me (as usual) and said "mumay your soooo soft" (that was not usual) I was really suprised i blushed and my husband asked what happened I told him Summer just told me that I was soooo soft... I was so speechless and happy and surprised and happy again its nice to hear those words coming from my son aaaahhh yep from then on I promised to really take care of my skin =) it's not that I don't take care of my skin it's just that being a mother makes me worry about other things rather than worry about what I will put on my skin.

Its been along time since I heard compliments from my husband, not that I'm complaining we were so busy with our work and our son these past few years (its almost 2 years when i wrote my last post).... What my son told me that night made a strong impact on my view in skin care, taking care of my skin is not only for my self but for my loved ones as well.

I remember that morning we woke up earlier than usual I just thought of pampering my self with a hair treatment, Neutrogena body oil, some expensive lotion (BBW-hey its expensive for me!) and my Lacoste Perfume which i only use during special occassions... hhmm I also used sunblock that morning and re applied lotion midday and before sleeping... Maybe that's why my son noticed how soft I was. He wanted to embrace me and kiss me because according to him, I also smell good =D now my husband is jealous because I get all the kisses and hugs hehe

I realized that caring for my skin is also important, not top important but must at least be taken care of... I couldn't sleep immediately that night I was thinking of many things.... like when my husband and I were just dating I used to mind everything I put from my head to toe =D =D of course I wanted to look my best every time were together.. Now that we have a family it doesn't mean that i should  neglect taking care of my self so is my husband.. I know how he use to have a haircut every time we meet (we meet almost once a month bec. he's from Baguio and I'm in Manila)

......................many thoughts ideas thinking thinking and more thinking

The next day was a great day =) I started doing researches on how we (my husband and I) can take care of our skin even if were busy.. I read many blogs and got more inspired from their tips and reviews. I'm also happy because my husband has been very supportive and also excited in my renewed love for skin care well he should be because he will be one of my test subjects to the product reviews i have in mind =D =D =) =)

Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge for Lips and Cheeks

There are times when im not being TOO practical at all... instead of going for the save i splurge..

Bobbi Brown pot rouge in baby pink (retail price: 1,500)

actually im kinda being practical here too you know... how or why? read on...

ok heres the pot

its not that hygienic i know but i really love lip and cheeks they're so practical and convenient to carry in my little makeup kit (by the way, ill be making a review of that too)

it is very creamy but not sticky or greasy.. it has that light bobbi brown signature smell..

the color is very rich..
so easy to swipe...
                                                                     (with out flash)

                                                                       (with flash)

it has light natural finish when blended

 not sticky but a little dewy...

I didn't use primer here just bb cream (etude bright fit bb cream)

usually I set my make up with loose powder for a matte finish but when im using this cream blush i just leave it as is because of the dewy effect it gives (like in korean makeup styles ... im a fan!)

VERDICT :

Color last the whole day i mean the whole day at work approx. 8 hours,.

my face tends to get oily during the afternoon i just blot it with oil control paper and my blush is still there even if i pat pressed powder.. i dont have to re-apply but i use this sparingly bec. of the price hehe..that's how good this creamy blush is.. see its still a LITTLE bit practical to buy don't you think? ;-)


will i re-purchase?

yes! but not very soon =) =) =)

ps.  review for the Lip part will follow ..  its my hubby again saying is it done yet? haha....

Etude House Sweet Recipe Cupcake All Over Color in Peach Sugar Cake

Yey!!! finally my first make up review =D

Etude House Sweet Recipe Cupcake All Over Color in Peach Sugar Cake wooohh that's long!

I always wanted to try Etude even though they're quite expensive (ok not that expensive like Mac or Shu Uemura but for me it is!) Korean cosmetics are the raves at the moment..

This is my first Etude House cosmetic from their SM Baguio shop.
My husband bought this as a surprise gift for me (not so surprise actually.., I told him I like it and he said Ok lets buy it... whats surprising is he said well buy it at that moment knowing how kuripot he is, it would take weeks before he says yes!)

The packaging is so nice it looks so sweet =)

 the tin can is really cute and unique

I used it the moment we got home hehe... =D

The color is not that pigmented and its not that creamy.. it has a light sweet smell like peach mango pie after it has been refrigerated..

as I have said the color is not that pigmented and if you want it to be really visible you'd have to apply a second or third layer.. its lightweight so you don't have to worry about applying more as it turns powdery quickly after you rub it to your skin

this is me wearing my EHSRCAOC in PSC haha I used 3 layers for it to be visible in my point and shoot camera (and that's my husband there hes saying lets go well be late for work gaaaaaaaah!!!)

VERDICT:

It lasted 4 hrs and i did re-apply in the afternoon.. i didn't use a primer only loose powder to set it.. maybe it would last longer if this is used with primer and set it with powder blush with the same color..

I think this is best used if you plan to concentrate more on your eye makeup.... or  if you just want to have a fresh natural look, together with a bronzer this is perfect (by the way I also used Benefit Dallas for contour in the pic)

will I repurchase?

Ill ask my husband first haha joke.. the little tin can goes a long way I may not buy for quite some time, maybe a different shade tho

They said this can also be used in the Lips and Eyes I haven't tried it yet but will make a review as soon as i do.. =) =) =)

Goldilocks Cinnamon Twistix

Ok so this is my very first blog, and its about Goldilocks Twistix mmm yum yum!

there are two flavors one is buttercreme and the other is Cinnamon ok yeah i'm writing about cinnamon twistix haven't tried buttercreme maybe later today...

there are about ten sticks in each pack...i will eat half today and half again tomorrow .. each pack is 43php not practical if i eat this in one seating not good for my diet too haha

when you say sticks I know you think about crunchy but this one different... I was fooled too you know, after having lunch with my husband last Wednesday I was craving for something crunchy and sweet so we decided to drop by at Goldilocks.. as i browse through the stalls this particular sticks caught my eye PERFECT! exactly what I was looking for crunchy + sweet ...ok back to the office ... 3pm merienda time yes! my favorite Lipton Milk Tea and Cinnamon Twistix

this will be a very good combination just the thought of these two makes me want to have merienda all the time (oh no please my diet huhu!)

as I'm about to eat my Cinnamon sticks (ok preparing for the crack sound) alas! to my surprise it wasn't that hard and crunchy and it doesn't crack at all... it was soft and tender when you bite... the cinnamon flavor is light the sweetness is just right..

you can see here in the pic that the texture looks like its really crunchy but no its not.. even though its not what i was craving for that day, i found something that i'll be buying again and again.. this is perfect for your cup of coffee or tea specially this rainy season..so good =)
