Happy Quick Post :)

hello there!

i just want to share some thoughts and pictures from last Friday's beach trip ^__^

so last Friday me and my bunch of friends went to Anvaya Cove. It's a pretty posh resort located in Morong, Bataan. We left our house around 6:00AM, yes, that early!! heehee its because going to Anvaya is like 2.5 hours from our place and we want to go there early so that we can enjoy the sun without the scorching heat :) 

I love love love love love Anvaya!! its really a nice place to relax and enjoy the pools and the beach. the staffs are always courteous and eager to help. the food that they serve is good and the amenities are luxe! its really worth it to be a member :) (my mom and dad signed up for a membership cause they want to live in Anvaya when they're already retired from work and just want to enjoy life ^__^)

here are some pictures:

(i look so burned on this picture haha >_<)

we're sooo tired and tanned at the end of the day ^__^
but we really had lots of fun!!


can't wait for the next summer trip! :)
hope you're having a nice week end pretty!

I Got Addicted!!

while my family was strolling around the mall a few weeks ago, we passed by this sort of small stall of breads..  and the smell.... oh my.... heavenly.. the smell of freshly baked bread of some sort..  the heavenly smell led us to chewy junior :)

the oh-so-good smell comes from the freshly baked cream puffs, their cream puffs are a bit different, its not the usual profiterole/cream puffs... its crispy on the outside then chewy on the inside :) the chewy junior cream puffs are filled with a creamy custard (just like pastry cream)  then topped with various ingredients like chocolate, cream cheese, almonds, fruits, etc.

the flavor that caught our attention is the ensaymada flavor, ensaymada here in the Philippines is a type of bread that has butter and cheese as toppings. so we expected butter and cheese as  toppings for our cream puffs... DANG! WRONG! the ensaymada cream puff is topped with white chocolate and cheese.. oh my gosh.. its so heavenly!! i didn't know that white chocolate can be a PERFECT pair with cheese :)

so here's the little devil...

you can visit chewy junior at the 2nd floor of trinoma mall beside white hat :)
its php30+ per piece..
don't forget to try the ensaymada flavor, it can be addicting!!

im just inlove with this food right now that's why i  really wanna share it with everyone :)

How I Battle with Dark Undereyes! :p

for me, dark under eyes are dreadful enemies! my boyfriend would tease me and say that my eyes look like they were punched. haha.. well they're really kinda dark, that's why I've been searching for concealers that would banish them away :)


first, let me share a picture of my bare eyes.. 

what i do is I start of by gently massaging a good amount of  
mario badescu hyaluronic eye cream under my eyes and on my lid. this eye cream hydrates my under eye and lid and it helps to apply my corrector smoothly..

~~according to mario badescu's description, the halyuronic eye cream helps lock in the skin's own natural moisture without the use of heavy, greasy oils :)

next I apply bobbi brown's corrector in peach. correctors are used for extra coverage for extra dark under eyes. 

on bobbi brown's site it is said that the corrector should be placed under your regular concealer. i love this product! it works absolutely fine :) 

im actually happy with the corrector alone, it did cover my dark circles and it gives a glowy effect on my under eyes. it doesn't fade away easily. i haven't experienced creasing with this product too, i think you really need to moisturize to prevent creasing. i usually set it with mac msf natural and im done :)
im still thinking if i should get the bobbi brown concealer, maybe if extra moolah comes my way then  i'll go and buy one :) i would love to get the concealer kit cause it has the BB creamy concealer and setting powder ^__^


mario badescu eye cream: $18 , i don't know how much it is here in the Philippines but i think mario badescu products can be purchased from beauty bar rustan's. (thanks sol ^_^)


bobbi brown corrector: $22 / Php1250, it can be purchased from rustan's shangri-la and makati. im nc40-42 from mac and the shade of bobbi brown's corrector peach is perfect for me :)



im really sorry if i don't update my blog constantly. >_< 
im really having a pretty busy summer! heehee
see you around pretty,

Some Haulin!

Here are some goodies that i acquired yesterday and the other day:

Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer in Almond

i'll post a separate review for this one, i'll road test it first tomorrow :)

The Face Shop Nail Colors

i got the shades BR806 and PK108. i like TFS' Nail Colors, they're cheap (Php95 around $2), i love the range of shades they offer, *i just wish they have a nice gray shade*, and they look nice on my nails, i just need to practice  my application skills a bit more :)

BR806 is a  brownish-coral shade *im not good at describing colors, sorry! heehee*

PK108 on the other hand is a pinky-mauve shade

LUSH Body Soap in Ice Blue

this the first product i bought from LUSH, the scent of this bar really hit me. when i first sniffed it, it instantly reminded me of a spa. haha. i love anything that reminds me of a spa, it helps me relax and it makes me feel good.. BUT when i tried it this morning, i didn't like the scent that much when i lathered it up.. i felt it gave a better scent when its dry.. and the scent didn't last that long on my skin :( im a little disappointed with this one. :(

and lastly, i bought a pair of glasses from penshoppe, its a nerdy type of clear glasses. haha i find it cute that's why i bought it right away plus its affordable too! its just Php229 (around $5)

here's a picture of me with the glasses on :)

i am loving the nerdy-me look haha.. 
that's all for now :) thanks for dropping by pretty!

MAC Mineralize Spf15 Foundation

not so long ago, MAC released a new foundation. its the Mineralized SPF15 Foundation, they claim that this foundation will give a flawless finish and it will provide super hydration for the skin. its a cream type and it offers light - medium coverage. 

when i first applied this foundation, i didn't like it that much. but when i used it for the second time, i think im starting to like it a bit more.. it gives a nice dewy finish but my nose really gets oily after some time :( i have combination skin and im glad that this product keeps my dry cheeks  hydrated and that it has spf 15 for sun protection. it doesn't feel heavy on face, its very light.. really easy to blend. it does cover those little blemishes but the coverage is not enough to hide the acne spots on my forehead. and thank goodness it doesn't give me pimples cause if it did, it will just be a total waste of moolah :)

the shades however are a bit darker than the studio fix powder.. i wear NC42 on the studiofix while im NC40 here on mineralize spf15 foundation.the foundation comes with a sponge, but i prefer to use it with a foundation brush. for me this product is an "okay" product. i don't loooove it but i think its okay for everyday use. for now i think i won't repurchase. but i don't know maybe after more uses of this foundation, i might get hooked and i'll fall madly for it haha.. 


here's a close up of my face wearing the foundation, im also using NARS Cactus Flower here as my blush heehee :) the foundation doesn't look that good on the picture but it's pretty decent in real life haha..

that's it for today! Happy Easter pretty!
