British Invasion On My Kikay Box

I got to try Collection Cosmetics when an angel sent me a Collection box a few months ago.. sa box pa lang na inlove na ako! I never got the chance to post about the box and its contents pero I have been using the products ever since. My favorites so far: BB Secrets Beauty Balm and Lasting Colour Lipstick in Bubble Gum. With the supply I got, I have no plans on buying another one any time soon but when sissy tried the Bubble gum lipstick, she wants the same shade! Eh favorite ko nga iyon no! So I promised her that I will buy one for her as soon as I got the chance..

At eto na nga, after my Melawares shopping spree (bitbit ang dalawang bag ng Melawares) dumaan ako sa Trinoma (for grocery and for her lipstick). Yes Trinoma talaga ang grocery (another GC.. it’s a GC day! kung may Yoshinoya sa Trinoma, malamang pati food ko GC din haha #bloggingperks). Freebie alert from Landmark Supermarket:

Eh kung may dala akong pera, malamang napabili ako ng Pampers worth 2k para dalawang upuan for my little bagets (Chico and Sati)..eh kaso purita mirasol that day.. GC day nga eh wehehe.

After groceries, went to look for Collection Cosmetics stall inside the mall, hindi mo siya agad makikita kase nasa dulo, near Sally Hansen stall, just ask the saleslady where Collection stall is, they know 🙂

I got Lasting Colour Lipstick in Bubble Gum for sissy and another one for me (Mango Tango.waah I can’t help it eh). Collection Cosmetics is really cheap (lipstick for 199 PhP).. considering how good the product is.. sulit na sulit ang moolah mga muthers! Kaya this is now my favorite make up brand, mura na, maganda pa 🙂

This is the BB cream I am talking about (249 PhP lang!):

Yan ang aking everyday make up, Collection Cosmetics BB cream + Maybelline Dream Blush (love ko yang blush, literal na blush, para ka lang nag blush..natural na natural) and Lasting Colour Lipstick in Bubble Gum. Pag feeling hot momma, I use Lasting Colour Lipstick in Queen of Hearts:

Ang nice ng red lipstick na yan, hindi nag bi bleed 🙂

Kapag nag ka oras, I will post a detailed review of the products on My Painted Lips.

New Routine, Exciting Days Ahead!

Ang title sana ng post na ito ay Back to regular programming.. but after a few days, I realized, the title is not apt for what is happening to us, particularly to me and to my routine.

This school year is different from last year.. I have three school boys this school year but I am less haggard.. it feels like, everything’s in proper places.. parang swak na swak lahat.. My routine is quite hectic, umm more hectic than it was last year, but I am surviving it and loving it. I’d wake up at 5 (but working on 4 so I can blog at least an hour), prepare breakfast (hopefully I can squeeze in my Metafit routine.. it’s a work in progress too haha)take bath (make up time!) wake the kids up, give them a bath.. let them eat their breakfast while I enjoy my “me” time aka coffee time.. after breakfast brush teeth then off to school. After dropping them to their respective classrooms, I’ll go home, work then cook lunch. Wake Sati up then off to fetch Sanko and bring the older boys lunch meal.

We usually go to school an hour before Sangko’s dismissal (mahirap na, baka mapaaga ang uwi, magwawala un pag hindi kame nakita) and to make use of the time, I teach Sati while waiting for Sanko (sorta homeschooling but happens on the school hehe)

Before lunch, a few minutes is spent checking on Sangko’s school books and doing his homework. Lunch time is about me, Sati, Sangko with Sir Chief and Maya.. after lunch, nap time..after nap time, tutor time with the older boys.. then work, the cook dinner.. then sleep.. parang robot lang no? but really, I love it! Mahilig talaga ako sa routine and it’s hard pag mejo nalilihis ako sa routine ko.. so far, so good.. sana ma maintain namin haha

Speaking of “me” time and make up time.. last year talaga, I make it a point na I’m in full battle gear before the sun says hi.. pero pagdating ng summer, tinamad na ako mag make up.. I said to myself, this school year, I should be back to full battle gear.. and one afternoon a surprise and a very nice motivation was delivered at my doorsteps:

Ang bongga di ba! British Invasion!

Collection Cosmetics, one of the hippest and most loved make up brands in the UK, is now here in the Philippines! Get ready to create a make up look that will make you say, “This is me and I love it”.

The box I got includes blush, mascara, lipstick (and lip gloss), eye liner, foundation and a BB cream.. I’d be super biased ha.. pero to date, this is the most exciting loot I received from being a blogger! Yay, thanks so much Collection Cosmetics, ready na ulit sa full battle gear days! (watch out for the reviews on my cosmetics blog: My Painted Lips)

Summer Thinspiration

And after two beach getaways.. ngayon lang ako nagka summer thinspiration! Late bloomer! Well, if I hadn’t bought these two cute dresses, I wouldn’t’ be inspired..

Well.. these dresses fits me.. but I look like I’m 5 month old pregnant.. ugh! My goal is to be able to wear these without looking like a hippo ehehehe and that should happen before our grand getaway this May!!! ayayay! a month for my weight! Good Luck!
