This is the one of the most beautiful red lipsticks I have right now and I absolutely love it.  I don't know if you ladies have noticed, but I'm a big fan of Revlon Lipsticks specifically from their Matte and Super Lustrous Line.

I already have the Revlon Matte Lipstick in "In The Red" (review HERE), which is another red matte lipstick that I adore but the Revlon Matte Lipstick in Really Red, is prettier so it simply became my favorite red lipstick.


I've read from a couple of blogs that Revlon Matte Lipstick in Really Red is a good dupe for the MAC Ruby Woo. I can't attest to this since I don't own Ruby Woo.

I bought a few things from the Etude House shop last month, during their sale. A lot of the items were on sale at 50% off so I simply couldn't resist. LOL


Stuff I bought were the...

66 Big Eye Vitacara Mascara
Petit Bijou Sunny Citrus Deodorant Spray
Oh m'Eye Lash Petticoat (mascara primer)
Aqua Cure Facial Mist Chamomile water

There were a lot of the eyeshadow palettes, blush, etc. on sale but I didn't get any since I already have a lot of makeup in my stash, I just wanted to pick those that seemed interesting and new to me. BTW, the Oh m'Eye Lash Petticoat was not included in the sale but I just had to buy a backup for myself since I've been using it quite a lot these days.

What about you ladies, what's your most recent Etude House fix?
By the way, if there is no Etude House in your area, you can find them at Amazon.com

Until next time.

MAC Cosmetics recently launched the new Studio Perfect SPF 15 Foundation and will be available in our local MAC counters here in Philippines this October 2012.

While I was in Manila a few months ago, I picked this up on whim when we went to Watsons MOA.  The weather in Manila was literally making my skin dry since it was so humid.  I continued using this particular moisturizer when I came back here in Cebu. So it's high time that you know what I think about it.

Mac fanastics! the Styleseeker Collection has finally arrived here in Philippines. Do visit your local Mac Counters now before they run out of stocks. ^_^

I had a blast during the launch of the MAC Styleseeker collection at Rustan's Ayala Center Cebu last Saturday (Sept. 29). I got the chance to see first hand what the Styleseeker collection has to offer.

You can view the complete list and swatches from the styleseeker collection at Temptalia.com.

Until next time.

I won't make this long. This is just your ordinary tuna sandwich. The only difference is that I used Baguette instead of your usual whole wheat sliced bread and added more stuff in to it. LOL


Ingredients as follows...
* Baguette / French Bread
* Riped Mango
* Romaine Lettuce
* Mayonnaise (I used Best Foods Mayo)
* Corned Tuna (I used San Marino Corned Tuna)
* Tomatoes (I prefer medium sized tomatoes which are still green)

Making this is easy as a breeze.

You only need to slice the Baguette to your desired size and toast it in a pan for bit.
Put in a little amount (about 1 tbsp) of mayo on both sides of the Baguette
Place the rest of the ingredients inside the bun.
Lay your lettuce first, followed by tomato slices, then the corned tuna.
Finally, add at least 2-3 thin slices of mangoes to give that sweet taste.


voila you're done!

Until next time.

I really like the shade of my elf blush in glow, so when I hit pan on that, I had to search for a replacement. I've been seeing the Milani Baked Blushes since it came out last year (2011) and many beauty enthusiast raved about the shade in Luminoso. So I had to try it.

I know that everyone likes the NYX round lipsticks simply because they are affordable and very pigmented.  But I wasn't that crazy about them because they melt easily and the smell bothers me sometimes. So when the NYX Matte Lipsticks came out, I was really excited to try them out.



What I like about this lipstick is that, the longer it stayed on my lips the more it became matte. Even though it's matte, this doesn't dry out my lips.  It's highly pigmented too. I'm glad that this performs way better than their round lipsticks. I'm also quite happy about the smell, it's barely noticeable.

NYX Matte Lipstick in Perfect Red is really pretty blue based red, it's not too bright nor too dark, it's just right. This has a decent staying power. It stays on my lips until my next meal or drink.

I like the packaging as well, it looks sleek. The plastic surface is Matte and they left the center part transparent so that the actual shade of the lipstick can be seen.


Lastly, the lipstick tube goes all the way in when twisted, so it is easier to close and I won't have to worry about hitting the product with the cap.

Overall, this is a pretty good lipstick. I bought it for only 270 pesos from French Macaroons multiply shop. I would recommend this to matte lipstick lovers out there. ^_^

Until next time.
