Anonymous asked: I was wondering if u can blog about ur every day face regimen?!

Hi there :)

Sure :) I’ll do it once I get home from vacation ;)

Aside from buying clothes (H&M!! :D) and pasalubongs, one cannot fully enjoy his/her shopping experience in Hong Kong without buying some skincare, make-up and a other knick knacks :D 

Hong Kong is filled with cosmetic stores that sell hundreds of different brands. Wherever you go, there will always be a Sasa, Bonjour, Colourmix and/or Watsons store just around the corner ;)

So I did a little shopping myself. Been to a couple of these stores and voilà! Here’s what I got: 

—————————

Got myself this Skin79 Miniature BB cream set that I have been eyeing on for like, forever, but was too expensive in online stores (around 500-700php). Got it for only 49HKD which is roughly about 272php :D

Richenna Bubble Haircolor in Wine Red (59hkd- 354php). I dunno. I just feel like coloring my hair red (again) :))

EOS lip balm in Honeysuckle honeydew (40HKD- 240php). The smell of this lip balm has a nostalgic effect on me. It smells like that strawberry ice cream candy back in grade school, that comes in a tube, that you squeeze out and eat with a tiny cone. You know what I’m saying?? Right?! Ok, nevermind. 

Masks from Sasa’s own brand (I think), Sasatinnie. Each box comes with 2 masks. Each box costs 9.9HKD (about 60php)

Pupa Diva’s Lashes Mascara. I think Pupa is an Italian Brand (since the packaging says it’s “made in Italy” XD). I forgot how much this one costs because I threw the box away since the boxes occupied too much space in my luggage.

Avène Eau Thermale Thermal spring water spray. Ran out of Evian and wanted to try something new.

Gatsby Moving Rubber wax. I couldn’t find this product in any store here in the Philippines so I was so excited when I saw this at Sasa :)) It’s basically an awesome hair wax with great styling abilities :))

Clinique liquid facial soap. Bought it for some unknown reason :))) maybe because it’s small and cute and easy to carry around but I do already have facial soaps that would last me for almost 5 months :)))

More facial soaps :)) 

The Face Shop Herb Day 365 Aloe Cleansing foam. I have 4 of these, actually. Gave one tube to my mom and the other tube, I’m currently using myself. Got 4 of these guys for 100hkd (600php) :)

Another The Face Shop cleansing foam. But this time, It’s in Spearmint. I liked the Idea of that cool, tingling feeling on your face after you wash it, so I bought this one. Later did I found out that this one has “For MAN” written on it. Boo-Hoo. Oh well. That’s what you get for not reading labels before buying things. Planning to give this one to my brother, or my dog :)) 

Fell in love with this Estee Lauder Eyeshadow palette. The colors are all so pretty and it’s very small and easy to carry around. 

Read a lot of great reviews on this product before so I wanted to give it a try :) Got the Darkest shade which is Beige Ocre :)

**Oops! forgot to take pictures of the Avene whitening lotion satchets that I bought (Those little white sheet-thingies in the first picture) :))

That’s about it! If you have any questions and commentaries, you can leave me a message HERE :)

Goodbye, Beautiful people of Tumblr :) Till my next post ;)

My brother and I spent 4 days and 3 nights, touring this land of intriguing contrasts.

Now, its time to summarize the whole trip with a bunch of photographs :D

Here it goes ;)

Taking selcas in the plane, like a boss :))

even the Pandas are still sleeping :))

Squishy panda merchandise :D :D :D

so cute and cuddly ~

Getting ready to board the ocean express.

I’m so loving this photo of my brother that I had to post it here :))

Trying to take a decent photo despite the scourging heat of the sun :))

Seals~!

Such huggable, big creatures

The city comes to life at night.

Such a picturesque view ~

Drinking hot cocoa at HKIA’s Mccafe while waiting for our flight home :)

I’m kinda fond of travelling without my parents especially when I studied in Baguio for a year. So somehow, getting lost in the streets of Hong Kong was not a big deal (sorta XD). This bro-sis bonding time was such a great experience :D I wonder  where our next trip would be? hmm :))

Will post some videos from the trip and also, photos of my mini haul (Hong Kong is a make-up lover’s wonderland :D)

Till next time ;)

Anonymous asked: I need your help May i know where'd u get your perfect sunscreen beauty credit? meron sa sm? and and can u suggest any good concealer? or what's best among the concealers you've used sofar?

Hi :)

I bought the Beauty Credit Perfect Sunscreen at Watsons in SM the Block. Concealer? I have been using the Stila perfecting concealer for quite some time now and so far, its my favorite concealer. It covers dark acne marks so well. The Surprise concealer from Etude House is great for covering dark circles around the eyes because it doesn’t sink in the crevices of the skin. 

Hope this helps :)

Anonymous asked: Hi I was wondering if you've tried missha m perfect cover and etude house precious mineral bb cream?? Can u tell which one is better??? and worth buying.

Hello there :)

In my opinion, The Missha M Perfect Cover suites me better. I have oily/combination skin and I have a few acne marks and scars in my face. I have been using it for almost a year now and I must say, it improved the condition of my skin. It helped fade dark scars and it even whitened my skin. It also has spf 42 so I don’t have to apply sunblock beforehand. One thing I hate about it is that it has a very weak oil-control ability. Touch-ups may be needed after a couple of hours. But all in all,The Missha BB cream offers great coverage and that’s what I’m looking for in a BB cream. Although the Etude House Precious Mineral BB cream does provide great coverage as well and even has superb oil-controlling properties ( I have a review on it here), it broke me out. But then again, not all products work the same on different people and what may be a bad product for me, may be a holy grail product for others. These are just statements based on my experiences w/ the two products :)

Hope this helps you decide which BB cream to buy. Good Luck :)

Summer’s finally here! :D That means it’s vacation time and I have more time to blog! ^o^  but before anything else, let’s look at this simple make up tutorial ;)) 

I focused on making the look fresh and bright looking. Perfect for summer ^^

Let’s begin! :)

——————————————-

1.) Before putting on make up, apply some sunscreen, to protect your skin from the harmful rays of the sun. If your foundation or BB cream already contains a high level of SPF, you can skip this step.

**Beauty Credit Face and Body Perfect Sunscreen

———————————————————-

2.) Apply a small amount of BB cream or foundation to your face. You may use a brush or a sponge.

I used two different shades of Missha BB cream and mixed it together to get a perfect match to my skin tone.

** Missha Perfect cover BB cream (#23 and #31)

—————————————————-

3.) Hide dark circles around your eyes using a concealer.

**Etude House Surprise concealer (#2)

——————————————————-

4.) Buff on some powder to keep your face from being too oily and shiny.

————————————————

5.) Apply a shimmery peachy coral eyeshadow to your lids and to the inner corners of your eyes as well.

**Nature Republic Nature Island Eyeshadow (#8-Orange)

6.) apply some shimmery pink eyeshadow on the outer corners of your eyes and blend well with a fluffy eyeshadow brush. This will add subtle definition and dimension to your eyes.

** Etude House Line Nuance Duo (#3 Miss Coral and Cubic Pink line)

7.) Apply the same pink shade to your outer lower lashline.

8.) brighten your eyes more by applying tear drop liner (or any shimmery light eyeshadow) on your lower lashline starting from the inner corners up to the middle part of your lower lashline.

To those who are planning to do their own make up but still haven’t decided yet on what look to carry out, here is a simple tutorial for all of you :)

Today’s look is inspired by the captivating eye make up of SNSD’s Tiffany in their latest MV, The Boys :D

Get some pinkish lilac eyeshadow and apply it on your outer lower lashline.

Now, let’s get on w/ the tutorial :D
