Dream Scents By Urbanhue's First Date Review

Image
  Third day in the row baby! I know, right? I have got it on girl so watch out! Today's product to review is Dream Scents by Urbanhue First Date! This is actually the very first one I bought from them!  First Date is a Chypre Floral Fragrance that gives a very fresh and clean perfume which is perfect for first impressions.  One of the things I do notice about a person is their scent and definitely if you use amazing perfume - I like you already!  I do like this scent though on the initial spray it would have a strong antiseptic wiff to it but the longer it is to the skin develops into a light floral that smells very clean and lady like. Projection is good though the lasting power is a bit weaker than warm nights.  Compared to Warm Nights, this one you may over spray though when I over spray on this on a warm day makes the scent evolve to like an alcohol scent which is no bueno.  Overall I love this scent though I would not recommend this to anyone. If you a...

Dream Scents By Urbanhue Warm Nights Review

Image
  Another review time! I know 2nd day in a row who is that girl? I tell you that I am really into writing back because I love it and I want to go back.  Another one of my faves at the moment is amber and vanilla scents - I don't know why but the scent just evokes something in me when I wear an amber or vanilla scent and this particular one has been a constant since October last year. I actually just finished this bottle.  Priced at 239 pesos for a 50ML bottle this does go a long way. According to the official Urbanhue page Warm Nights is  A chypre fruity floral fragrance, that is very seductive and sexy. It also has a hint of sweet vanilla and musky. The scent just evokes sexiness but it doesn't borderline into messy territory. Though a little caution on spraying this as too much can induce headaches especially in elevators. The projection is quite strong so one to two sprays in the neck or back of the ear will be good.  Out of all my Urbanhues scents (yes I hav...

Body Fantasies Wedding Day Fantasy Review

Image
Ola! I know that I have promised to go back to reviews but again life happened. Nakakaloka! But now I am back with a new review as I love to review things. It makes me feel alive.  I actually got this on a time where I just felt I need a pick me up while mindlessly browsing in Watson's. Yes. Impulsive but definitely worth it.  With Body Fantasies, they don't really do a big frills packaging but they entice you with the name my ghad! Wedding Day Fantasies really does smell like a bride! Its a sweet and soft fragrance. I can definitely say that this has like a clean girl, fresh-out-of-the-shower soapy musk scent. Its very nice to use for day time but I would not recommend this for night time as this is too light.  It has floral notes that is not too much if you over spray but the only thing I am not a big fan of is no matter how I try, this doesn't stay on for long period of time!  Like the longest I have had this scent was about 5 hours and that is stretching it. Like...

WHY PATCH TESTING IS IMPORTANT ( and you should do it too!)

Image
Ola!  As a beauty blogger, I get tons of products to review on a daily basis and usually I do a patch test before actually using a product. What is a patch test?  It's basically a simple procedure where you test it first on a small amount to see if you develop an allergic reation towards it.  Here is a short story before I tell you why this is important. A couple of years ago, a company sent me a product to review with a full disclosure that if this gave an allergic reaction to me I won't post the review which they actually agreed on because I am willing to pay for the next batch of products I will order from their store if this product works out.  For the first couple of days I noticed red bumps on my skin which bothered me. I didn't actually analyzed it further until the third day of using the product - It made my skin itchy and red that I had to go to the doctor!  I don't have the pictures anymore because it was super bad which I also reported to the company ...

Re-Discovering The Female Heart

Image
What is a Female Heart? Is it simply as it was said? Does it mean more?  That is actually the questions in my head when I was able to see the media preview of Linda Faigao's The Female Heart that UP Playwright staged from July 1 to July 10 at the Wilfrido Ma. Guerrero Theater at the University of the Philippines Diliman. Also being the directional debut of Banaue Miclat-Janssen  of UPPT which is also her silver year in the theater industry.  Premise:  Set in the late 1980's the play follows Adelfa (played by Chase Salazar) and her elder brother Anghel's (Played by Al Gatmaitan) struggle as resident of the infamous mountain of garbage popularly known as Smokey Mountain. Confronted by extreme poverty and her brother's ailing health, Adelfa agrees to become a mail-order bride in the United States.  This play shows the reality of life's tragedies which will awaken the spectator's about the vividness of pain and despair, but also our...

Movie Review: DEADPOOL

Image
Why am I not surprised I have not wrote a review about this?  because I was too busy with work that time. But with that being said, I would just like to take this opportunity to apologize if this review has been long overdue. Work comes first sometimes, so it is no surprise that I actually forgot writing this so forgive me. 

Bacer Wellness Spa: A Cozy Massage Experience

Image
A well deserved massage is something most of us want after a week's worth of work. And with the impending Holy Week in the horizon - Most of us are stressed more than even with our deadlines and also double work load to finish so that we can go home this coming week to our families and reflect on the things we need to do most. But before we do that its best to treat ourselves to a massage right? Last Sunday, I was invited and some of my blogger friends to one at Bacer Wellness Spa. Located at Kamias Road in Quezon City, its actually a couple of minutes away from my house which was a huge plus. 

Fun Girl Time at Nailcocktales + Surprise!

Image
Hello girls! I would admit that getting pampered is really an experience that is what most girls look at the end of the day or after a stressful week.  Or some would just get a beer or a cosmopolitan in a bar.  Why not get both?  I do have one suggestion if you want to try both - try out Nail Cocktales!

Hello lovelies happy Monday!  Monday is the first day of the week so I will be starting it fresh with a review! For some reason I feel so pumped up - don't really know why but I will be making the most out of it. I will be posting more reviews AND make up tutorials soon so make sure to check back here ok?  Since I work as a phone English teacher, yes, there is such a thing,  We are not really required to wear make up on a daily basis since most of my student don't see me. But you still have to look good right? 

Photoescape Reviews: Avon Limited Edition Palette

Happy Friday my lovelies! I am so hyped this 2014 that I actually waited the new year to share this to you girls! I know really bad of me but I think its better :D  As of the moment, I am currently stocking up on palettes and tools I could use on my upcoming make up workshops and I think this one is definitely something I could use since its an all in one palette.  I'm talking about Avon's Holiday Palette!

Photoescape Reviews: Avon Ultra Glazewear Lip Gloss

Image
Hey lovelies! happy Saturday! I hope you are having a great Saturday so far.  Usually I don't like using lipglosses since they don't last long and the pigmentation doesn't really show up if I would opt for one.  Luckily while I was browsing through the interweb I saw a review from Shen's Addiction about this and thought about giving it a try just for fun. 

Photoescape Reviews: Maybelline The Falsies Volum Express Waterproof Mascara

Image
Hello lovelies!  I have a confession to make: I detest false eye lashes. I really do!  One thing I don't like when I do make up tutorials is a need to apply false eye lashes or falsies. I know its kind of a requirement since it enhances the eyes a lot if you want it to be the focal point of your look, but I just find it really unnecessary. Call me lame but I just don't prefer applying it on myself.  But luckily, I was able to find a product that makes your lashes look like your wearing lashes! its Maybelline's The Falsies Volum' Express Waterproof Mascara.

I will be posting new make up looks as soon as our internet connection is much better. I hope you are having a great day ahead. Its a Sunny Friday here so I hope you are having a great day too!  On today's review would be all about Maybelline's Colorsensational lipstick in Fuchsia Fever. 

Product Review: iWhite Korea Whitening Pack

Image
Skin care is an important key if you want to have great looking make up. Having a smooth canvas to work on will actually make your masterpiece more beautiful. One of the things I remember my Korean friends telling me is you'll never go wrong with face masks. May it be in a face sheet mask or peel off form these can help you achieve that beautiful skin you always wanted. That is why I got addicted to them in the first place.

Image
Hello lovelies! I haven't done a Kpop Friday in a while and I am really sorry about that. Its just pretty hectic with work since we have been having lots of things to do to improve our teaching skills. I will try to update like before so don't worry about that k? On today's Kpop Friday post I will share to you some fun facts about Psy's newest song called Gentleman and a slight review of it as well. 

Product Review: Avon Ideal Luminous Foundation

Image
Foundations are one of those things that I really like to make a review on because its quite hard for me to find the shade good for my skin tone.  I have pale skin which is not typical if you are a Filipina, its especially hard to make it look like I didn't have it on. I was actually intrigued at first when I saw this at the latest Avon brochure since its Avon't newest foundation.
