Glupa Whitening Soap and Whitening Lotion Review

Image
Hey guys! Before 2015 officially ends, I would like to share with you two products that I have been road testing for the past two and a half months. So why did I chose to use Glupa Whitening Soap and Glupa Whitening Lotion ? Well, last October 26, 2015, me and my family went swimming for my mom’s 60th birthday and being too overwhelmed by joy, I went swimming even under the scorching heat. Lol. Result? I was left with sunburn and uneven skintone! I have noticed how dark I got after that ‘ sinful day ’ so I was kind of regretting and wanted my natural skin color back. So I searched for whitening products and stumbled upon the Glupa products. I’ve read a lot of positive reviews and I knew this was the answer to my prayers (lol). I just had to try it and see if it works or not. The next day, I head out to the grocery. It is very accessible. I bought mine from Mercury Drug but I know they are also sold at Watsons and even Supermarkets so if you are planning to buy one...

9th Anniversary Celebration at Yakimix SM North

Image
Wassup!! ☺ *Picture heavy post* Hey guys! This post is quuuuuuite late already like 1 month late hahaha but I still wanna share it with everyone. Last October 4, me and my boyfriend celebrated our 9 years of being together. We both love Japanese food specifically Sushi that's why we opted to look for Japanese buffets, and we landed on Yakimix.  It was our first time trying out Yakimix (....since we always opt for Vikings lol) and I was not disappointed! I love the food, ambiance and all! Plus, the grill all you can was very enjoyable. The only downside with Yakimix SM North is that the place is quuuite small. So imagine how we we're able to manage. It was a Saturday so the place was quite jam-packed and it was hard to move, plus you've got a bigger opponent on the food you want. Lol.  Feeling like a pro chef while grilling. Lol  My first plate! Yum!! My 2nd plate! Haha The mandatory picture with the boyfriend 3rd ...

Image
Hey wassup?? It's currently 9:19PM as I am writing this entry. I knew that I wasn't able to update my blog (again) so I decided to peek into my blog..... and my last post was last September. Haha! Okay so to keep you guys updated with my Youtube happenings, I am going to post the link of my latest videos here. Youtube marathon sounds good on a Wednesday night like this right? I hope you enjoy watching! -Grace ♥

How are you?

Dang! Its been months since I uploaded my blog. Time flies by real quick since I got a job. Most of my rest days was literally spent to sleep the whole day thus I wasn't able to update my YouTube channel too. I tried a couple of times to juggle work and passion but I was unsuccessful. It saddened me, the fact that I had to choose between two things that I love the most. Yet, the fact that I am gaining subscribers everyday, made me feel happy and determined to push through with my Youtube career. My dear readers and friends, I hope that you continue to believe in what I can do and what I can share in the future. Your support fuels me to do my best in everything I do and I am beyond blessed to have each and everyone of you. Saranghae! Grace ♥

Beauty Cosmetics Brushes Review (Dianne Bronze Set)

Image
   Hello everyone! First of all, I am really sorry if I've been on hiatus for such a loooooooong time. My work just always takes a huge amount of my time that is why I find it very hard to update my blog, as well as my Youtube channel. I guess I haven't still found the right formula to balance them both but please don't lose hope on me, I will continue to strive to continue with work and my passion. I recently celebrated my 22nd birthday, (last June 17 to be exact) and I really wanted to give my self a small present. I've always dreamed of having a complete makeup brush set because I want to do makeup tutorials on my Youtube channel. But since I don't have the right tools to begin with, it became a hindrance for me to do so.  After a long time of contemplating whether to buy or not (..lol) I finally gave in to my desire. I texted Ms. Rosenn Gomez of Beauty Cosmetics for an inquiry and within a minute, I received a reply. Our transac...

ABSCBN TV Plus (Ang Mahiwagang Black Box) UNBOXING and REVIEW!

Image
Hello everyone! Today, I will share with you something different here on my blog. As you all know, I usually tackle things related to beauty and makeup but, as what my tagline says (Beauty, DIYs and more) ..the more part is this, techie ! Haha! So what pushed me to do this review? Before purchasing this product (or any product I ought to buy), I usually search for product reviews from consumers like me. Not those from people you know the company sent their products for reviews. (peace) I want an honest review from a " normal consumer " like me, and that is what I aim to do today. So why did I purchased the ABSCBN TV Plus ? (..or more like, why did my dad purchased this? Haha) Because, the only channel we can watch clearly is GMA-7 and sometimes, TV5. It's not we are purely Kapuso but because its the only clear channel on our TV. You might ask, why not have cable? Well you see, the only show that we watch is news at 6:30 in the evening. That's why we do...

Missing in Action? The Reason Behind

Hey guys! Its been weeks since my last post here on my blog. Things are kind of a hectic for the past week and I am truly sorry for I haven't updated you, my dear readers. So where do I start? Well, the reason why I haven't uploaded new videos in my Youtube channel as well as here in my blog is because I finally landed a job! It is something that I've been waiting and praying for the past months. I am super happy about it because its almost a year since I graduated and I didn't want to jump into a job that I don't like. Before I took up Mass Communications in college, I have told myself that I will be the person whom I want to be and this job in a leading broadcasting company (of which I ought not to name hehe) will be my stepping stone towards my dream career. I am far from being an intelligent person but with perserverance and discipline, I know I will be able to achieve my dreams :) Hence, for the past weeks, I was totally busy processing papers for my p...

Fashion 21 Eyebrow Gel Review

Image
Hello everyone! I am back with another Swak sa Budget video on my YouTube channel and this time, I feature Fashion 21's newest addition to their makeup line, Fashion 21 Eyebrow Gel! I bought this last week and instantly fell in love because it is the MOST AFFORDABLE eyebrow gel in the market! It is retailed for only php 165.00 . Could you believe that?! Today, I share with you my review. It is worth the buy or not? I purchased the shade Light Brown and what I like about this eyebrow gel is the wide array of colors to choose from. They have Dark Brown, Light Brown, Blonde and Clear. At the lower portion, you will see the shade name and manufacturing date. (Left) Fashion 21, (Right) Jazzy Collections The applicator is thin and long making it easier to apply product with just 2-3 swipes! In the next photos, you will see how the product looks like with another eyebrow product and by itself. As you can see, you can use either ways!...

Review: San San Age Defense Blush On in 01

Image
I woke up one day and I realized that I hit the pan of my favorite blush on. Haha! So I decided to buy one but it has to be affordable yet effective just like my all time favorite blush on: Careline Blush On which is retailed at Php 90.00 only! Being a kuripot person, (..hehehe) I opted to buy another Careline blush but I suddenly saw this San San Age Defense from one of the counters. I've thought, why not try it? I've used other San San products and I am satisfied so being said, I did purchased this blush for Php 105.00 only! What a steal right! I like the outer packaging for you can clearly see the shade color! On the bottom part, you will see the manufacturing date and expiration date! On the back part, the ingredients are listed down as well as it's distributor: HBC. When I opened it, it kinda remind me of Maybelline's Dream Bouncy Blush On's appearance. Swatch. When I used it, it was not as pigmented as what it looks like (..in ...

I made Turon! (Banana Wraps)

Image
My inner cook kicked in today! (Lol) I asked my mom to buy me saba and lumpia wrappers when she went to the market and voila, I made my very first Turon! Hehe! I just made small pieces because I had a hard time doing the traditional ones we see sold on streets. Also, I did a separate syrup because I did not pour muscovado sugar on the wraps while cooking (.. because I find it harder although I did put some sugar inside the banana before I rolled them. hihihi )  So for my first attempt I was successful and I am looking forward to do more Filipino delicacies in the future.  'Til the next blog post! -Grace ♥

Review: Pinkies Collection Matte Lipstick in LP-02 (Champagne Bubble)

Image
Hey guys! Ever had a favorite lipstick that whatever new product goes out in the market, you still prefer using that old lipstick of yours? Well I do! And its the Pinkies Collection's Lipstick, Champagne Bubble! I first bumped into this product way back 2013. I saw it in one of Say Tioco's videos and it looked so beautiful on her plus she said it has a matte finish! Being a matte lipstick lover, I hurriedly searched for this product. ( ..although for me it has a semi-matte finish and stays for 2-3 hours ) Almost 2 years have passed, here I am, still madly in love with this product! It is retailed at Php149.75 only. How cool is that? I've used 3 tubes of this lipstick already and will surely buy more in the future. ☺ Packaging reminds me of a Mac lipstick They used to call this shade "Champagne Bubble" but now, its just LP-02. Lol They've undergone a lot of logo changes. I like the new logo! As you can see, it is a beautiful nude shade, ...
