My New Home!!

Achievement unlocked! Yes I have a new home! A new home where I can express myself and write about anything I feel and could think of.

It’s not a house if that’s what you came here for (I mean, I’m not there yet. hehe) but it’s my NEW DOMAIN (woohoo!) which I bought last January 2017. I am planning to re-launch my website this Saturday actually that’s why I’m writing a post about it. It would be…

Hi!

Last month I did a lot of damage on my bank account… AGAIN.

I bought loads of products online and this box is one of them. (Seriously! I need to stop buying stuff or else I’ll be broke!)

I was thinking if this is worth the post or not since I didn’t buy a lot of stuff from Althea. But then again I write anything I want here so might as well show you what I got from that website! :p

“Althea is South East Asia’s largest online Korean beauty store with the lowest prices shipped directly from Korea.”

I am currently into Korean skincare since I’ve been breaking out again and since I don’t really have a beauty regimen. And honestly, I’ve been watching Korean dramas all day long and their skin is top notch so yeah…

By the way before I bought these items I went to a website called Shopback. It’s like Ebates in the Philippines.  I get to get rebates from spending money! Score! :D (You can search Althea on there.)

Anyway, here’s what I got from Althea:

Green Barley Gommage Peeling Mask – I don’t know if this did anything on my skin yet but I’ll do an update if it did! :D

  Pure Smile Juicy Point Pad in Lemon and Strawberry – I bought a lot of facial masks since they have a “Buy 5 get 5 for free” promo for masks that time. I wanted to try these types of masks but I think the usual masks are still better.

Choosy Lip Pack in Peach – This is part of the “Buy 5 get 5 for free” promo for masks. I wish I bought more of these since I really enjoyed using it. It says you can use it on your lips and nips. lol. That rhymed! :D

I used this on both. haha. But seriously, I love how it made my lips super soft right after using it! I’ll definitely buy this again! :)

[Ready Set Mask] Gold & EGF Eye Spot Patch – I love how the eye patch makes my under eyes brighter and makes it lifted. I also like that it’s a gel type kind of patch. I just wish it’s shaped like the usual under eye patches so it can cover all the areas on my under eyes.

Magic black shot (25ml) Skinny Face – I used this 2 times I think and I don’t feel it did anything on my face yet. I need to try it more and see if there’s any difference. :p

Do you like Korean skincare as well? If so, what’s your favorite product from them? Leave it in the comment section down below. :)

I hope you like this post! If you find it helpful in some way or you want these kinds of posts then hit the like button. :)

Thank you for reading! :)

Althea HAUL Hi! Last month I did a lot of damage on my bank account... AGAIN. I bought loads of products online and this box is one of them.

Last week my sister insisted to eat out so we went originally to Bright side to eat dinner but then the place was full so we went to The Fatboys Kitchen instead. I have heard of the restaurant a lot of times already since they have been shared by my friends who tried their food on facebook.

THE SETTING

I was actually surprised that the place was a bit small. I was thinking it would be a lot bigger or a regular sized restaurant at least. I don’t see that as negative though since they’re just starting out and everything.

  THE FOOD

Food was OK. If I were to rate it, it would be 4 out of 5. Now this is based on what we ate that time.

4 out of 5 just because I love my bulalo a bit salty. This was good for my sister though. :)

This was just a regular garlic rice. 

I hate this! Hate is probably a strong word though. Haha. I don’t like this! (Much better? xD) I don’t like how fishy it tastes. Haha. Is that the right term for that? Whatever!

5 out of 5. No explanations needed. :)

Tried to plate it like this. Haha. This is their Bicol Express still. :p

Mango Shake was okay. Nothing special about it. :p

Buko Pandan. Favorite desert I ate/drink!! You should try this if you ever go here. :)

    THE MENU

Price range is okay. Ranges from 50-450 php.

  THE STAFF

Staff were great! They’re very polite and offered to take our picture. :)

  PARKING SPACE

As I said, their place is a bit small thus the area for parking is a bit small as well.

  OVERALL

It was a pleasant experience there. The music isn’t loud which could be an advantage or a disadvantage depending on the person’s preference. Hmm. I don’t mind it either way though. :p

If you’re on a diet, this place isn’t the best one for you as you’d be tempted to eat a lot as there are a lot of dishes to choose from.

RATING: 4 out of 5

Hope you like this post. If you have any suggestions please comment it down below. :)

DUPE THAT: Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate Lipstick #11 / My favorite red lipstick!!!

I haven’t done this in a looooooong time! I posted a similar one way way back. It’s Gerard Cosmetics lipstick in Fire Engine which is a dupe of MAC Ruby woo lipstick. You can check my post here.

A couple of days ago, I was playing with a lot of my lipsticks. Swatching on my hand and on my lips. I mean I’m not the only one who does this right? :p

So I found out that my current favorite Rimmel Kate…

Hey! Soooooo it’s been a long time since I posted here on my blog.

At least for me that is. Anyway, I don’t want to bore you with my out of topic rants so here’s what you need to know when renewing your Philippine…

Atomy Products: Is it worth it?

Korean Products are on thy hype here on the Philippines like Etude House, The Face shop, Missha, and many other Korean brands. I can’t blame them! Korean products are really good especially their skin care.

Is it worth it?: Careline Oil Control Liquid Makeup and Careline Pimple Concealer

Is it worth it?: Careline Oil Control Liquid Makeup and Careline Pimple Concealer

A couple of days ago I saw this video reviewing these 2 products from Careline. Careline is a Philippine brand I believe. It started from nail polishes and emerged to cosmetics.

Careline Oil Control Liquid Makeup in Natural

First of all, the packaging is so cute! This retails for 90php at Watsons or at some department stores. I actually filmed a first impression on this one and the concealer as…

Hello Hongkong Disneyland!!! (Guide to Hongkong Disneyland from Macau)

First of all sorry about all the exclamation points on my title but I had to! It’s my first time and every first time has to have an exclamation point right!? (Maybe that statement was inappropriate! Lol)

Anyway, we went to Macau last month, November 10 to be exact but we went to Hongkong Disneyland on the 12th. It’s kind of a post birthday celebration for my sister.

The first thing we did was go…

To spend or not to spend?? l Colourpop Products

Colourpop is one of those brands that I’ve been dying to try out. They’re very affordable so everyone can get their hands on them. But for someone who lives overseas like me getting their products is a bit difficult.

Are you one of those who want to try their products? Well, I have both good news and bad news. Good news is that they’re shipping INTERNATIONAL!!! Which you probably know it already…

Airport OOTD

Last week I haven’t posted anything on my blog because me and my family went to Macau and had our vacation there with my Papa. My sister and I celebrated our birthdays there too.

So anyway, this is what I wore at the airport. I know this isn’t as comfortable as it should be but I did love wearing this one. You live and you learn. Maybe next time I’ll be wearing a hoodie and a jogging pants. lol

Anyway, we went to Samal last Nov. 5 but we weren’t able to stay there overnight I’m not sure why but that’s okay because we went straight to SM Lanang Mall, watched a movie and saw Mickey Mouse! Haha

LAST MINUTE Latex free Zombie Halloween Tutorial

LAST MINUTE Latex free Zombie Halloween Tutorial

Finally! After 2 days of filming and editing this look I finally uploaded it on youtube.

I didn’t plan or practiced this look so it may look messed up but I do feel like I did good on this one. It looks so real! I didn’t use latex since I don’t have it so I used Elmers glue instead.

I actually got the idea from Rachel on youtube.

I love how it turned out. White contacts will definitely finish…

Davao Food Trip: Burgers & Board Games

Davao Food Trip: Burgers & Board Games

A week ago me, my family and relatives accompanied my aunt to the airport. She and her children will go back to Australia after their 2 weeks vacation here in Davao, Philippines.

So anyway, we decided to have a snack at a place called Burgers and Board Games. It’s like a snack bar so you won’t have any options that include rice.

The place was comfortable. It’s not too big not too small.…

It’s that time again where I check my app to check out products primarily just to see what’s new and didn’t plan to buy anything because I want to save money, blah blah blah. But then, I see these products and you know what I already did. *sigh*

So let’s do a haul anyway!!! :)

By the way I bought most of these things from Shopee and Lazada so if you have those two apps then you can purchase these…

Ever Bilena Advance Stick Foundation - Review

Ever Bilena Advance Stick Foundation – Review

I already did a video about this on youtube but I also want to blog about this because I can’t get over with how good this foundation is.

Ever Bilena is a drugstore brand here in the Philippines.

Net weight: 8g or has a 1 inch foundation inside

First of, for a drugstore brand this is priced as $220php which is a bit pricey for a local brand. The stick foundation is very very creamy so when I…
