RANT: Being a Beauty Blogger Doesn't Mean Instant Freebies

So much have been happening lately that I haven't updated you guys yet so as a comeback I just want to vent out for a change.  Some of you may know that nowadays I have been attending events and getting free stuff from brands. But it didn't really started that way. I was just a simple blogger who really likes to write - that's it!  I started getting curious with make up and just bought my own make up little by little and just wrote how I feel about them. But then I found out the world of bloggers and all the things that come with it. I would get invited to events, help organize some and even get sponsorship from brands that I love!  At first it was all good but then I noticed that there would be random people emailing me asking how I get those free stuff or how I get invited to these exclusive events. It got to the point that I don't answer them anymore because I find them annoying - yes! these people are annoying on my email because they think being a blog

Photoescape Reviews: Nivea In-Shower Intensive Skin Conditioner

Because of the erratic weather we are having this past few months I have noticed my skin has become really dry that its a bit of a chore to always apply lotion every time because my skin becomes really ashy when I don't apply any lotion. But sometimes there are lotions that feels a bit greasy when its really hot so sometimes I apply too little. Thankfully I found Nivea's In-Shower Intensive Skin Conditioner. I did check out some review about this and there were some that said its good while some didn't really liked it. But of course I did tried it out for myself and overall I would say that it moisturized my skin without that greasy after feel within the day. The thing that I was a bit irritated about it is the spout of the tube is a bit big thus at times it dispenses a lot of product. The other thing is after washing it off my hands feel that they have PVC Glue on them but that goes away within a few minutes. I do like this product but of course I think that thi

Tesoros Showcases Pinoy Papier-Mache Art

Image
Growing up, I remember visiting a lot of town fiestas which features an array of colorful papier mache pieces of horses, dolls and my absolute favorite - Angels!  These actually originated in Paete, Laguna and they are called Taka. These are not just ordinary papier mache because these are made using hand carved wooden mold which Paete is also known for. And thankfully Mary Velmonte, a rising star in the Philippine advertising with a great passion for locally grown creations, together with her friends and fellow creatives Missy Galang and Claude Rodrigo Canete. Mary founded Takatak Project, a Manila-based initiative established to breathe new life into the traditional way of the Taka.  I was able to see some of the creations and I am really amazed that they looked really modern but still has that soft touch of tradition to it.  You can check these and also buy them at Tesoros!  Much Love!  xx Alice
