Delightful Illusions


          Hey, guys! How's your Holiday Season going on? Anyways, I'm currently here in Manila, having my vacation until January 2. If you want a meetup somewhere here in Quezon City, just let me know because my schedule is kind of loose right now. Today, I'm to share the gifts I have purchased yesterday for my family at SM City North Edsa. It kinda felt like Black Friday yesterday; shops from Annex up to The Block are on great deals. I have purchased quite a few things and saved a lot of money at the same time. If you are looking for budget-friendly last minute gift ideas, just keep on reading. :)

❄ Essence Cosmetics Eyeliners


          Essence Cosmetics is currently having a sale on most of their eye products; eye liners, eye pencils, and some lip liners which ranges from Php 75 - 100. I swatched mostly everything on the testers and picked up three things. These would be perfect gifts for family, friends and co-workers who love using makeup. These could also be stuffed on socks/stockings. These could be found at the Main Building's Department Store, around the beauty section.

❄ Home | Style Fleece Blanket and Microfiber Bath Towel


          These home essentials are perfects gifts for people who loves traveling. The blankets feels soft and comfy; it costs only Php 165 and its dimensions are 50" x 60". The microfiber bath towel is also great for traveling because it isn't heavy to carry on and costs only Php 100. The blanket and towel are both lightweight. I found these stuff somewhere around the Main Building.

❄ MOGAO Shirts


          Ah! I love these affordable shirts that MOGAO sells. They have this some sort of compartment where printed and detailed shirt are always sold for Php 99. These are perfect gifts for just everybody because they have array of selections for different styles and cuts. The MOGAO Boutique could be found at the Annex.

❄ Forever 21 Accessories


          I always love to shop accessories at Forever 21, especially at the "clearance section" because I could find some really cheap deals. I am person who wouldn't pay so much on not so great quality items. I'm a wise and practical person when it come to shopping. I feel like Forever 21 is kind of pricey for their so-so quality. Though I really like their accessories which comes in different styles. These rings with a chain connector was originally Php 225 down to Php 109. :)

❄ LUX Body Wash Set


          I know that you have probably heard the new collection LUX; their soaps and body washes. They have been advertising excessively for the past couple of months. If you are in a rush and do not really know what to give to a girl, just pick this set with a puff at Watsons. This only costs Php 125. 

❄ LAB Works Hair Wax


          If you are looking for gift to a guy and don't have any idea either, just pick this Buy 1 Get 1 Free hair waxes that could also be found at Watsons. I guess almost every guy uses wax so this is actually a safe gift. Haha! You'll only pay Php 159 pesos for two. 


          Those are all of the things I purchased yesterday at SM North Edsa. I hope you find this port helpful as I had fun on roaming around and browsing shops. So what are you waiting for!? Go! Shop! :) Thank you so much for reading. I'll talk to you soon. Have a nice. Stay safe. XOXO

            Hi! I can't believe June is flying by so fast. I still feel like we just hit the beginning of the month, like it started a week ago. Do you feel the same way too or I was just so busy this month? Anyways, I just want you to know that I went to Baguio City again last June 7 until June 11 because our National Conference was held there. I know I promised that I would post about my Baguio vacation but I wasn't able because there are lots of things I want to talk about that I cannot completely share with just on the spot typing. I really hope I have the time to write down my travels, experiences and priceless wanderings. ☺

           I have some beauty products discoveries recently the last few months and I am gonna talk about them in a while. This month's favorites are mainly focused on beauty products. Yay! :)


              The first on my list is the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Sweetheart Valentine. This is one of those popular lip chubby sticks sold by Revlon. Way back on April, I asked my mama to buy me this particular product line, just in a light pink shade. I was so happy that she picked this shade; it matches my skin tone and is wearable for everyday. I have used this constantly since I got this and the triangular-shaped head is now flat. Haha! That's how much I love this lip product. It glides on smoothly, moisturizing and has vivid color payoff. The moisture comes off after I eat but the color is still on my lips, leaving a nice stain. This is one of those Barbie pinks that most people could wear. 


            Here's my selfie on a plane wearing the Sweetheart Valentine Balm Stain. See, it looks pretty natural. If you are wondering, I go these sunnies from Daiso.  



               Next is this Essence I ❤ Stage Eyeshadow Base that I started using sing April. This is on my favorites list this month because I think this product needs some recognition from the blogging community. As what the product is all about; this an eyeshadow base and not a primer. I love how this base neutralizes the darkness of my lids. It's blendable and has a thick consistency which is good because it does not add weight to my eyes. That's the main reason I love this product. If I don't wear eye makeup, I just dab this on my lids and set it with a powder so it won't get oily. Overall, I think is a good product for everyday use. 


           Talking about skin care, I'm currently loving this Eskinol Pimple Fighting Facial Deep Cleanser. If you have been a reader of my blog for so long, you know that I'm obsessed in cleaning my face. I have already talked a lot of facial cleansers and scrubs. Cleaning my face is step I never miss even if I'm tired at night. I really don't like sleeping with a dirty face. My mommy's family is prone pimples so I take the time to clean my face everyday. This product removes all traces of makeup and dirt  on my face and neck. This also dries up pimples really fast and does not break me out. I use this everyday after I wash my face. 


                This Gentle Facial Cleansing Wipes in Cherry Blossom smells so sweet. That's the main reason why I love using this product on my face. This removes a decent amount of makeup and dirt on my face and neck. It has moisturizing feel though this doesn't fully remove waterproof makeup. I can still see traces of eyeliner and mascara after washing my face. All in all, this is good makeup wipes that won't blow up your budget. This can be found at Robinsons Supermarket. :)


               The last but not the least, I'm obsessed with this pointed nautical strappy shoes from Make U Look which stored at MOGAO boutiques. I have been wearing these a countless times and I got compliments when people look at the shoes. I was surprised that this pair matches casual outfits; shirts, pants, and shorts. The most surprising this about these is that this is only Php 149! Can you believe that? I can't! Haha! Visit MOGAO stores and see if you can find something like this. :)


            Those are all of my of my June Favorites. Did you find something something interesting? I hope you do. If you have any product suggestions, please let me know. I love discovering things. :) By the way, I'm recently joined a company that sells Organic Soaps which are made in the Philippines. Yes, I'm a dealer. I'll post about it soon. Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a great day! Stay safe. :D

           Hello! First of all, I want to greet all the mothers out there a Happy Happy Mother's Day! Enjoy your day and may God bless you all. :) Today, I will be introducing to you the new challenge I will be joining, the Pan That Palette Challenge. This challenge started last year, basing on what I have read on a blog yesterday. You might be saying that I always do challenges but I don't finish most of them. Yeah, that's right. There's no way I would deny that. Hehe! :) Anyways, I'll give you updates of my Project Pan 2014 and I'll also finish my 30-Day Beauty Blog Challenge. 


         On this challenge, I chose this mini eyshadow palette from Avon called The Greens. I have this one around for almost 2 years. I use this from time to time, switching with my other shadows. It seems like this palette takes forever to hit pan on. The shadows are the most pigmented but they give a good color pay-off. The only rule for this challenge is to hit pan on all of the shades to the end of the year (at most). Some of the shadows are shimmery, some are of satin finish and the rest are metallics.  


           I bought this palette from a direct seller and I'm not quite sure if this is still available. :) I'll do my utmost best to succeed on this challenge. I will do the swatches on my first update, maybe an in-depth review as well. I'll also try to show pictures on what looks I have come up with this palette.  :)

        I challenge all of you to this one too. Isn't it fun to hit pan on palettes that just lie on your makeup drawers? Haha! Please let me know if you do this one too so we can follow each other's tracks and share thoughts and ideas. :) Haha! I guess this is it for this post. I'll talk to you soon. Have a pleasant day. Stay safe. XOXO
