Zumba Fitness with Mr. Dan Cabiling

I really adore beauty and health bloggers, I always like how they combine these two important things in life. As I start blogging I also want to share to my readers how important to stay fit I don't mean to offend anyone but It's really important especially to me. I know I am just starting in my journey but I want to tell everyone that I really want to change my lifestyle since I start attending Zumba. When our instructor told us that Mr. Dan Cabiling will be conducting a zumba here in La,Union I immediately say yes! I'll attend. To those who doesn't know him yet, he is the fitness instructor that you see in Umagang Kay Ganda fitness segment in ABS-CBN for more info's about him Click here.

Now I am sharing to you guys some photos about the said activity:

September Favorites

 Happy Friday lovelies welcome back to another monthly favorite post. Here are the list of what I've been loving this month of September and I'm sorry if it will be a picture heavy post, I took individual shots so you could see it closely if that makes any sense haha!

• I just recently discovered this cereal, I don't know if it's new or I'm late upon discovering it lol. Anyways I've been loving this Fitnesse and fruit cereal because It's not boring to eat like the plain one. It has fruits on it that add's texture on my mouth, it adds sweetness and it's just simply delicious. I eat this for my breakfast and dinner.

• Elf Cream eyeliner and Beauty Cosmetics eyebrow/eyeliner brush- I definitely recommend this cheap but good quality cream eyeliner from ELF. It so creamy and easy to apply it stay's on very long, it doesn't smudge. I use my BC brush to apply this, I will do a review on it soon. 

• San San Nail polish in Touch of beige- My perfect beige color very neutral, office appropriate color yet super gorgeous when you have fair complexion. 
•  KleanCast Nail Lacquer in Sugar coat is a clear polish with chunky gold glitters on it while Mr. Right has mini metallic/silver on it both are from the Oh yes I do bridal mini collection.  

• Mary Kay Redefining Elegance Limited Edition palette- look at the color's of this palette Isn't it beautiful? very fall-ish colors and very daytime wearable I use it along with my Ever Bilena moose eye-shadow in amber which I'm gonna show you later.  

• Elf Blush in Candid Coral-Super loved this blush it gives you that glowing effect on the skin and it matches perfectly with my recent love eye-colors above.

• Two lippies that I wore this month are Mary Kay in Dusty Rose and ELF lipstick in Seductive. 

• Allue Glamrock Hair color mascara in gold- I have my review on this on if you haven't read that post yet just click here. 
• Mary Kay Concealer in Beige 2- It doesn't cake at all even you pack on powder after to set it, It covers my blemishes really well and it doesn't set on my under eye lines.

• EB moose eye shadow in amber- a coppery gold color which you can use alone or as a base. It has great staying power, enhances the color that you apply on top of it plus it's cheap.

• Maybelline Clear smooth in Nude Beige- I finally found a perfect setting powder shade for me, well it's actually a powder foundation but who cares it adds coverage, sets my liquid foundation really well and matches my skin tone. 

And that's it for this post, are you guy's ready for October? me? super ready na. bye for now and see you on my next post. 

 

Mary Kay Mineral Eye color + compact Review

Hey Loves, we are now down into the last week of September and I'm quite happy that I posted a bunch of posts this month here on my blog than I usually do hurray!!. To start the week of blogging I'm gonna share w/ you guys a product review about the Mary Kay Mineral Eye Color and compact. 
I currently own three eye-shadows from Mary Kay and I'm gonna feature all of them here on my review.

Individual Photos below:

Green Olive

Steel

Silky Caramel

These eye-shadows comes in this minimal white plastic container and the pans measures smaller than a postage stamp, wondering why? because they are meant to be put into Mary Kay empty palettes which they sell separately and I'm gonna show you that later. Each pan contains a 1.4 grams of the product with an SRP of Php330.00. 

 I also have this empty palette that I bought for Php.595.00 I know It's expensive for an unfilled compact. But the good thing is It's tiny enough to tuck anywhere, and you can have a customizable options. It has a mirror and a hidden compartment for your tools or mini applicators which you can buy from them only. The compact design features the easy to use magnetic refill system. 

All of the eye-shadows placed in the palette.

As what I've said earlier they also sell this applicator duo for Php.50.00 these two have great quality bristles and sponge which you can use alone to apply and blend your eye colors.

Swatches of the eye-shadows without primer from left to right: 

• Silky Caramel- a matte skin tone color with a very smooth texture (I believe you can't barely see it).
• Steel- Metallic gray color with a very silky smooth texture and very pigmented.
• Green Olive- very pigmented, no glitter eye-shadow and of course it has a very silky smooth texture as well.

Pros:

• Easy to blend
• Contains vitamin A, C and E to help protect against wrinkle-causing free radical.
• The colors are vibrant
• Long Lasting with or w/out primer (last up to 8 hours for me)
• Looks great in all skin tone
• Very Pigmented
• No fall-out

Cons:

• You can only buy all of there products through Mary Kay Beauty Consultant's.
• If your a newbie in make-up this might be too pricey for you.
• They only sell single eye-shadows just like mac and it might hard for you to choose a very good color combination.
• Applicators and palette are being sold separately and pricey.

Overall:

I treat them as a high-end cosmetic product because of the price and the quality. It's a good investment to collect because you really get what you pay for. I really recommend this to try out. I'm planning to complete the colors If given a chance and budget.

Curios about the Ingredients? check em out here:

 

FOTD: Daily Look

Hey loves, let me share to you my most worn make-up look this week:)

My brows looks weird haha never mind sa pose lang siguro!

I used amber as a base then I top it off with the lightest color on the palette. The purple shadow goes on the crease and lastly the dark green goes on the outer V. On my lips I used Mary Kay Lipstick in Pink Melon.

The next day photo but I used different camera.

What I used: Ever Bilena moose eye-shadow in Amber

Mary Kay Redefining elegance palette (limited edition)

I really like the color combination of this look it's very office appropriate make-up and easy to put on. That's it for this FOTD segment loves happy weekend:) 

Seafood Galore

Happy Friday lovelies, sorry for my super long over due birthday celebration post. For those who doesn't know yet I just turned 23 last August 1, and I celebrated it with my family of course. I took a time off with work and went to Batangas City for a short vacation.

My dear hubby brought us at Fredz Seafood Restaurant at Club Yolanda for dinner.

Shrimp Tempura yummers:)

I really like the place and the ambiance of the restaurant, it is located at the top of the hill I believe that's why you can actually see the whole subdivision and the fresh air is so relaxing sorry if I haven't took photos of that it's too dark kasi. 

Anyways I really enjoyed my stay there If I could just post all the photos here to show you guys. I'm really thankful, happy and contented with what I have right now It's really life fulfilling for having this two bears in my life.

I must end this post now before I became so dramatic today haha bye guys happy weekend:)

Allue Glamrock Hair Color Mascara in gold Review

This product has been on my make-up storage for a while now and never use it until I read a product review about the Mac Brow set in Girl boy. I hurriedly try on the Allue Glamrock Hair color mascara in gold on my brows and I can say that it can be the cheaper alternative for the Mac brow set in Girl Boy which cost Php.700.00.

I am not really into brow setter but honestly I am jealous to those girls who have perfect eyebrow shape, so to achieve the polished eyebrow shape I really needed this in my life from now on.

let's get into the review:)
This product is mainly for the hair (not eyebrows), your suppose to apply it on the strands of your hair to have strips of gold on it. Why would I do that? Silly right?
Though the label says your'e not supposed to apply it on your'e eyelashes and eyebrows, I am telling you guys that this review is just based on my experience. I think that It's safe to use on the brows but not on the eye-lashes.

Pros:

• A very affordable product with an SRP of Php.80.00.
• available locally at HBC near you.
• The packaging is polished looking and handy.
• It has a candy like scent.
• The formula Isn't dry or too wet either.
• Perfect size of spooly and gives even application.
• Stay's the strands of hair in place but not too stiff.
• Very nice lightening shade for those who have dark eyebrows.
• Easy to remove with water and face wash.

Cons:

•  It has a bit of shimmer to it so be careful upon applying it.
• Again the product is not mainly for eyebrows but it did not damage my eyebrows whatsoever. 
• blending is required.

What It looks like on my brows.

And that's it for this product review guys hope you find it informative. Thanks for reading this post have a nice Monday lovely people.
