Fruit Salad Filipino Style

Fruit Salad Filipino StyleEver since I was a little girl, this is a staple in any family parties, or every party  in the Philippines. My grandma would always make the best fruit salad, and if it is not sweet that would make your teeth hurt, then its not sweet at all. Ingredients.1 can of fruit cocktail in heavy syrup1 small can of table creamHalf a cup of Nata de Coco or Coconut gelatin ( I just used up half of the jar)1/4 cup condensed milk.  This is as close as I can get to a slice of home. Now this delicious feast is chillling in fridge, and I am dying to eat it lolWhenever I eat this, I make sure to save every bit of nata de coco, and I will eat it last. Its just my habit. Save the best for last .Alright, I know this is a random...

First Impressions: MAC Quite Cute Mieralized blush in Miss Behave

As all of you know that MAC released a new collection last 4/7/11. I had been waiting for this collection since February. Temptalia had a review on her blog as well as her YT page, she recommended to skip out on the QUAD, why? Because it was not even worth the Money. It was not pigmented at all, and for a MAC e/s that is a big fail. All the other products, I was thinking that the nail polishes are very dupable with a lot of drugstore polishes out there with the fraction of the cost. Lipgloss(plush glass) I also skipped this, due to the fact that my lips does not need and "plumping" look. What intrigued me the most is the mineralized blush. Out of the three, I picked out the peachy one which was in Miss Behave, the other two was a lavender...

Overview: Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss

REVLON: Silky...Sexy...Brilliant. Glossy formula combines sheer color and intense moisture with light-reflecting spheres to create amazing shine. SPF 15RSLL in FirecrakerPrice: $6.99-$8.00 depending where you get it. I suggest a BOGO or BOGO 50% off.Where :  Almost all drugstores carry revlon products, and also Wal-mart, K-Mart, and Target.Packaging: It looks very similar to my YSL lipgloss including the doe foot applicator, and the slick glass tube type container.  First Impressions: Not to sticky... May have a scent, but I think it is normal, and it is not overwhelming. Staying power is pretty medium. It will not last all day, so do not expect that to happen. When I first started investing on makeup, I made a decision after...

Sleek Storm I-Divine Palette

According to their websiteThe Storm i-Divine palette comprises of 12 strong and rich shades perfect for accentuating the eyes and creating natural looks.The velvet-touch consistency gives full and shimmering coverage to the eye lid for maximum effect. Each shade can be applied alone for a dramatic effect or mixed to create a personalised look.Best applied with the applicator enclosed. On their website, the Palette costs $10. I didn't buy it on their website. Instead, I ordered it from Ebay. I bought 2 of the same palette. It made more sense to buy it on ebay. Why? Because I only added and       extra $4 and I got an extra palette. Good deal right?First Impressions:1. The Palette is smaller than what I thought...

Failed at LENT and My Project 10 pan

When lent started, MY goal was to at least make it to 3- 4 weeks of not buying makeup. Week 3 I failed! It was a sale from Haute Look that got me. Palettes from Urban Decay were on sale. A couple days later, I found out that these palettes are also available on UD's website for the same price. (although the we're out-of-stock) So I sorta justified my purchase.... not really I still broke my promise. If you noticed, I haven't had any hauls on my YT, and that is the big reason behind it. I was running out of the usual supplies. I didnt stock up before I decided to give up buying makeup for lent. I really think I went in this the wrong way. Not prepared, going cold turkey didn't help either. So it was kind of pointless. So I decided that I should shop in my own collection, I found foundations...

A mom's wish

So I am blogging this through my phone, so the format might look or different.Anyways, I finally made a mommy entry here after so long. As you can read in the title about my wish.I wish that I can finally have a conversation with my almost 3 yr old. A lot of you guys don't know that she is a little behind verbally. She can comunicate with us in other ways like pointing, a little bit of sign language, and other words that she commonly uses. I still wish that I can converse with her and she will actually understand what I mean.In my current situation, it is not easy that I can just get up and go. Take her to a specialist and this will be over with. Long story behind this, and I think it's a little too personal, but hey, I might share it with you in the future. I love the fact that she knows...

Review: Maybelline Volume Express ONE BY ONE mascara

I was supposed to review this product on Camera, but my HD converter is messed up so, I'll just blog about it.So I finally ran out of the 2 mascaras that I had been circulating since the end of last year.(it just got its 3 month expiration and some dried up)Also earlier this year, Maybelline came out with the ONE by ONE mascara. I couldn't get it yet because I don't like stocking up on mascara, which I would eventually toss out because of its life-span. As a little side note: I want to let you guys know that I love the "Falsies" also from Maybelline, and I didnt have any plan on replacing it until I read a lot of good (and bad) reviews with the ONE by ONE. Honestly, I had a little bit of a hard time with the Falsies too. I won't deny that it...
