Cinema Experience!

I’m sure if you followed my blog, most of you are aware that I didn’t grow up here in the U.S and even though I’ve been here for quite sometime now, I am still noticing a lot of things that I can’t help but compare.

I want to be more specific in this topic and I want to talk about watching movies in the movie theater. I’ve been wanting to write a post about this since forever but I kept putting it on hold until last Sunday because it happened again. Continue reading “Cinema Experience!”

Happy Easter!!

“Spot the little one๐Ÿถ” And by the way, I got this huge egg from work as my Prize for finding the Golden Egg! ๐Ÿ™‚

Happy Easter Everyone!

I hope you all are having a great time or have had a great time! Let me know how your Easter Sunday went? My Easter went by so fast..(yeah and I’m sure we all can agree to that..lol) I have no family around the area except for my hubby that is why we always make the most when we’re together. I miss my family back home and I miss celebrating special gatherings or holidays with them so much.
Today, we went to the mall and watched Fast and Furious 7. I love this movie so much and I’ve seen them all from One to Seven. Sadly, Paul Walker passed away so I guess there won’t be any more Fast and Furious. I heard a critic on the radio saying that this movie is Good but not Great! I Disagree big time… I love action films especially if the actors are ย on my list and this I would say, is one of the best action film out there. Even though Paul Walker didn’t get the chance to finish the movie, you won’t notice his absence in some scenes ย and they did a great job in keeping him visible the whole time. If however, you are not aware that he passed away then you won’t notice his absence at all.

To rate this movie, I would give it a 9. Why? because it’s star studded.

Vin Diesel,ย Paul Walker,ย Michelle Rodriguez,ย Ludacris,ย Tyrese Gibsonย and you addย Dwayne Johnsonย “The Rock” plusย Jason Stathamย what else could you ask for in a movie right? The only thing I didn’t like is that they missed to show something (I don’t want to be a spoiler) but overall it’s great and not a waste of time and definitely not a waste of money. ๐Ÿ™‚
After the movie, we went around the mall but shockingly enough the stores in the mall are all closed! I didn’t know that they closed on Easter Sunday! haha I guess I’ve never been to the mall during Easter Sunday huh.. Because back home (Philippines) the mall is open on a Sunday. So, we ended up going somewhere and looked for an open restaurant but I unfortunately, only Denny’s is there to accommodate people who are too lazy to cook on Easter Sunday (that’s me!!! ๐Ÿ˜› ).
IMG_0981I had my favorite pancake puppies and I tried their new flavor which is the “Tropical Pancake Puppies” (Bite-sized round Pancake Puppiesย made with pineapple-coconut and white chocolate chips. Sprinkled with powdered sugar and served with a side of cream cheese icing for dipping).

and paired it with a yummy

FullSizeRender“Brooklyn Spaghetti & Meatballs” (Three seasoned meatballs atop a bed of pasta covered in a rich, meaty tomato sauce. Served with a side of shredded Italian cheeses and garlic).ย 
We had a really wonderful Easter SunDateย and I guess there’s also an advantage when the stores are closed right? it’s because I didn’t get to shop for myself this time! haha.. Isn’t that a good thing? ๐Ÿ™‚
So yeah! I hope I didn’t make you hungry with my post today and I’m sure you also had some great, scrumptious, yummylicious food shared with your family and friends.
One last thing, this post won’t be complete without my OOTD! ๐Ÿ˜›

You all have seen this dress (Charlotte Russe) from my last Haul post (Buy One, Get Oneโ€ฆ(BOGO)!

Questions

1. How far would you last in the Hunger Games and why?

Just the thought of being part of those people to participate in the game, I might die at that very moment! hahahah.. And to answer this question, I won’t go anywhere in the game.. sad but true! lol ๐Ÿ™‚

2. Whatโ€™s a must have breakfast dish/drink for you?

This is very embarrassing ๐Ÿ˜ฆ but just so you know.. I don’t like to eat anything in the morning. I don’t know why! Eversince I was young, my mom would give me warm glass of milk in the morning and I could not drink it. It made me sick. I can only drink anything cold in the morning if I am hungry. Also, I don’t eat or drink in the morning especially before 9:00AM because it makes me really hungry before lunch time. (I know..I know..I’m weird)..and I know breakfast is the most important meal of the day but sadly that’s just how I am.. However, I eat a lot during lunch and dinner though..hhehe

3. Do you prefer sunlight or starlight and why?

Can I choose both? ๐Ÿ˜› well, well, well.. who doesn’t love the sunlight right? we all need some sunlight. It’s good for the body and chilling on the beach under the sun is just perfect! Any living things needs sunlight too. There are so many reasons why I would prefer sunlight. But! Starlight is also a good option, you know why?because starlight brings the romantic “emotion” side of every individual. Who doesn’t love to be with your “loves” and just sit under the stars and just enjoy each other’s company right? โค So yeah, ย I prefer both.. hehehe (sorry I can’t choose one)

4. What is your favorite childhood memory?

A LOT! but the most precious one is the time spent with my entire family every single day with my mom and dad and siblings happily eating together on the dining table and just the thought of us all together always makes we wish to go back in time. *sigh*ย 

5. Do you have a guilty pleasure television show, book or musical artist โ€“ what is it?!

Sorry but I am not a bookworm however, I watch TV shows in my country through the TFC (The Filipino Channel) but musical artist?? Yes and that would be BRUNO MARS! I love him to death and I love all of his songs, my hubby even surprised me to watch his concert last year when he came over and OOHHH I can go on and on and on about him and I am super in-love with him and his songs. I don’t mind being in his concert no matter where I am in the arena as long as I hear his voice singing his songs live is all worth it. ๐Ÿ™‚ โค

6. If you were in a rock/ boy/ girl band, what would be your bandโ€™s downfall, which would eventually lead to your breakup?

hhmmm.. this is different..haha I am not sure… I’ve never really thought about this question ever. But! I know I am a very loyal person and I would never leave somebody behind so I guess the downfall would be a band member leaving the group and the rest will follow. ๐Ÿ™‚

7. If you could be one famous author who would it be? CATCH: Is has to be a horrible or overrated author: Stephanie Meyers.

Unfortunately, I have never finished any book before except our school textbooks.. horrible right? so, I guess I won’t be able to answer this question for you. Sorry.ย

March Favorites! #Beauty #Extras

It’s Favorites Time!๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

Hi Cyber-buddies!! Hows everyone doing today? I hope you all are doing great. ๐Ÿ™‚

It’s the beginning of April so I guess I’m not yet late to share my March Favorites right?

I am not going to include any product description on this post but will go ahead and maybe say a “little” about it to make this a quick and fun post.

So yeah! here we go… ๐Ÿ™‚

Let’s start with face products. I’m sure most of us loves face products and here are my faves.

IMG_0951

  • Rimmel London BB Cream (Beauty Balm) it’s 9-In-1 Skin Perfecting Super Makeup in the shade LIGHT. I never thought that I am going to love a BB Cream. This product is very smooth on the skin, very light that you don’t even feel like you are wearing something on your face.ย It’s Skin perfecting super makeup with 9-IN-1 results. It Primes, Moisturizes, Helps Minimize the appearance of pores, Conceals, Covers, Smoothes, Mattifies, Brightens and Helps protect. This product lasts all day. ๐Ÿ™‚
  • Rimmel London Match Perfection in shade Light Nude (102) – This is a light perfecting radiance sunscreen foundation that everything about this product is just amazing! I have repurchased this foundation billion times and in fact, I already have a back-up in case I will ran out of it.. ๐Ÿ™‚ I love the consistency, the shade, the smell, the feel on your skin and most importantly the price. This is very affordable and you can find it in your local drugstores. I can’t say enough about this product so I guess I better move to my next fave.. lol ๐Ÿ˜›
  • Maybelline Dream Lume Touch Highlighting Concealer in the shade Radiant – I’ve had this product for a while now and I almost forgot about it. I started reaching to this product again because I was looking for something to cover my “sparkles” (to those who wants to know what is “sparkles” please check out this postย Facial Products.. (Failed andย Passed). I know it says Highlighting Concealer but it helped cover my sparkles..(maybe because it’s kinda full coverage) and that’s why I liked it.
  • Real Techniques (Miracle Complexion Sponge) – I wanted to purchase the infamous Beauty Blender but I just don’t think it’s practical enough for me to spend that much. I saw some beauty gurus mentioned this as a cheaper dupe for the Beauty Blender though I’m sure it’s not the best but so far I am loving it. It gives flawless finish and helps you blend the products really really well. ๐Ÿ™‚
  • ย SIMPLEย Replenishing Rich Moisturizer – It says “Kind To Skin” and Yes! this is so true. So far I haven’t felt any irritation on my skin ever since I started using this. It has Vital Vitamin, Skin Loving Nutrients and No Perfume, No Dyes that is why it’s very gentle and very good on your skin.
  • Who doesn’t love Facial Wipes?? Tell me.. tell me.. ๐Ÿ˜› I have been using this SIMPLE cleansing Facial Wipes (Sensitive Skin Experts) for a couple of months now and I am not even planning of replacing this product anytime soon. I love that it doesn’t feel sticky on your skin, it has multi-vitamins, it gently cleanse, removing impurities and even the toughest make-up is gone with just one wipe.

Moving on, let’s talk about beautifying your face.. let’s talk colors.. ๐Ÿ™‚IMG_0952IMG_0954

  • You all have seen my favorite blush brush and this is from Essential Tools
  • . I love this so much, it’s so smooth and it doesn’t have any fall-outs whenever you apply your blush. You guys should check this out, it’s so cheap and it’s just awesome!
  • MARCHscara of the month is the Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara. I’ve been carrying this in my purse since I purchased this last month and since then, I have been using this a ton. It’s very buildable, makes your lashes looks longer and it doesn’t have clumps. It’s worth the $$$.
  • Carmex (original) Lip Balm is my HOLY GRAIL๐Ÿ‘ผ๐Ÿ™ – I cannot thank this lip balm enough..I don’t know what I would do without this balm..This saved my lips when I had a really bad allergic reaction with lipsticks. I will explain this in my next post. Bottomline, this is one thing that I cannot live without for real.
IMG_0955

This blush is from TOPSHOP in the shade “Do It Again”. This product is very pigmented and very smooth. My camera didn’t do justice on the shade but this blush is more like “peachy-pink tone” and isย perfect on fairer skin like mine and the subtle shimmer helps provide a natural looking flush that isn’t too much. It’s great for everyday use at anytime and anywhere.ย I paid only $12.00 and it’s worth the price..

L”oreal Infallible Eye Shadow in Amber Rush shade #892 has always been my go to eye shadow when I’m on a rush. This eye shadow is very pigmented and it’s just good for everyday wear. It may seemed too shimmery but it’s actually a very ย pretty “bronzy” “rosey” shade and the shimmer is just very subtle.

ย ย Now for my lipstick faves.. I have been loving the Revlon Colorburst-Matte Balm in “Elusive” shade #205.

This is very hydrating, comfortable feel of a balm. Itโ€™s a twist-up, jumbo-sized lip pencil, so thereโ€™s no need to sharpen (and therefore, no waste). This shadeย is a medium, warm-toned pink with yellow undertones and a satin-matte finish. Great for everyday use, very handy and very smooth when applied on the lips. It doesn’t feel sticky and non-drying at the same time. I also love the “minty” scent of this balm and I just love it. You guys should also check this baby out.. I’m sure you’ll love them too and it comes in different shades as well and it’s also a drugstore product so it’s very easy to find.

Another lip product that I’ve been loving is this L’oreal (Colour Riche) Balm Pop in Tender Mauve shade #518.

Just by the name itself Tender Mauve, this shade is very pretty and can be worn at anytime of the day in other words it’s great for everyday use. You can wear this all by itself or use this as a base before you apply your favorite lip product. This balm is also very hydrating, non-drying of course, it has a very slight sweet smell…comfortable smell and the packaging it really neatย too. The only downside is, they’re only available in six different shades. But if you are into nude shade, then this is the shade for you. ๐Ÿ™‚

Miscellaneous item that completes my entire outfit:

IMG_0949

  • I’ve been wearing my Alex & Ani bracelet almost the entire month of March. They we’re a gift from my hubby last 2014 (Vday) and since then I have been loving them so much. The symbols are letter “K” which stands for “Kulit” and it used to be my nickname back home and in English that means “naughty” :P, the other charm says “My Other Half” and the third charm obviously is my January birth stone which is Garnet.
  • The second item that’s been loved so much is this double sided earrings that I got from NY&Co. (I’m sure you’ve seen this on my last Haul post March mini-haul!) and they may looked heavy or uncomfortable but Not At All.
  • Last jewelry item that has been my staple last month is my Michael Kors watch. This was my Vday present from hubby last February’2015. I thought he wasn’t paying attention when I was telling him that I want a watch thatย doesn’t go out of style and something that I can wear everyday with a pop of color.. And yes! I got what I wanted. I’m kinda’ tired of seeing those large face watches that’s why I asked for a classic look and I love this so much and it’s Rose Gold too which makes it even more classy. ๐Ÿ™‚

IMG_0950ย And finally who doesn’t like a little hint of lovely scent? This cologne has been my staple scent for years. This is from GAP. I used to love the “Dream” scent but since I’ve tried this, I’ve been stuck with it ever-since. I’m not sure if you guys have tried the colognes or perfumes from GAP ย but I suggest you should check them out. They last long and they are very affordable too.

ย Extras:

I just want to share with you my super cute and super fun partner in blogging. My sparkled…bedazzled cutie mouse!!!!

Like I said before, I wasn’t really a fan of Pink until my hubby got me hooked with it. He actually bought this for me as he knows I love anything sparkly (except my own “sparkles” hahaahhaโœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜‰) and I love anything with stones ex. Rhinestones, Diamonds(if only i can afford), Swarovski and more.
