New Bobbi Brown Must-Have | Wishlist

2016-02-19T18:52:00.000-08:00

I checked Bobbi Brown’s website this morning since I’m planning to buy new makeup for myself. I found out their new and limited edition makeup. Here are some of them that I really like and hoping to buy it soon. I’m hoping that it’s available here in the Philippines.

I found this lipstick very interesting because I love the shade which is Ballerina Pink and I think that it’s good for me. I want to collect lipstick as many as I can and use it to different occasions. If you don’t want this shade, you can choose from different shades available. The price of this is $28.00 and if I will convert it to peso, this is almost Php1,400.00. Value for money I guess so you better try it now.

Next is Bobbi Brown University eye palette. Honestly, I love doing makeup thingy. I already have few eye palettes but I want to add this one to my collection. It’s part of my wishlist because it will be my first time to have a Bobbi Brown palette. I like its 12-shade to create my perfect Smokey eye look. This is worth $60.00. Don’t miss the chance to grab one now.

Sample Room PH | First Impression

2016-02-19T16:55:00.002-08:00

While I’m eating my breakfast, I’m browsing my Facebook wall to find some beauty stuff and post something about it then it came across my mind about Sample Room. At a first glance, I don’t know what to expect about this beauty website until I read the contents of it.

Sample Room Ph is Philippine's first ever beauty and lifestyle sampling website.

It is an interactive community that offers FREE samples,

localized product reviews, and where all beauty lovers are valued.

(Source: SampleRoomPh)

My first impression after reading their description is that it’s really a good idea to provide samples first before buying a certain product. For me, it’s a good advocacy because they valued all the beauty lovers like me. Then I started to sign-up to their website. I am really amazed because I earn 100 points in just one click. I can use these points to try their samples. Up to now, I’m still thinking what type of products that I will avail so that I can use my points. Maybe after I choose some of their samples, I will post a review about those products.

Some information that I find interesting is that they have Registered Referrals. In that case, you can earn one (1) point for every registered referral at Sample Room. So you better refer more friends to earn more points.

Another thing is that after you received a specific sample of product, you have to rate and review the samples you get. It will let you earn back the points that were deducted from you after availing the samples. If you want to read the full information, you can check it here.

Overall, this website gave me an interest to be their active member. I want to keep updated about their new samples, their contest and etc. It’s a challenging part for me to review all the samples that I received. Of course, it’s a good practice to enhance my writing and communication skills. To know more about Sample Room Ph, you can check their website by visiting www.sampleroom.ph

Celebrating our Valentine's Day in Plane Bistro

2016-02-16T22:39:00.001-08:00

It’s February 14, 2016 and we have decided to celebrate our 2nd Valentines date together with my boyfriend in Plane Bistro. Plane Bistro is Air Travel theme casual dining and located at 1920 España Boulevard corner Kundiman street, Manila, Philippines. I know all of you want to know a little bit information on how to get there so I managed to put a fare matrix in order for you guys to have an idea.

How we get there:

Lrt (Monumento-Tayuman) : Php15.00

We walked from Tayuman to Jeepney Terminal (Going España) near SM San Lazaro : Php7.00

Tricycle : Php40.00

Yahoo! So you better now visit it as soon as possible. I also put a picture of the front view of Plane Bistro. Check it out below. Sorry for the image if it’s not that good because we are really tired that time and really excited to discover their plane-themed interior and also to eat their specialty food so what are you waiting for, let’s now explore the interior cozy design of this well-known restaurant

(Front View of Plane Bistro)

As we enter the restaurant, we were approached by their crew who really looked like "real flight attendants". I am really amazed of the excellent and creative design of their walls, their reception area, and their sofas matching its plane-themed structure, their cool signages, and everything inside Plane Bistro.

(Let's travel the world together with Plane Bistro)

(Plane Bistro's counter area)

If you want to post something about your experience while having your bonding moments in Plane Bistro, you can pin your message in their bulletin board. Share something to motivate and inspire others to taste and experience something different like this.

We were seated on the second floor so let’s look around what their 2^nd floor looks like.

(2nd floor waiting area)

Seeing a world map design is such a good idea. It makes me feel that I am really traveling. One of my dreams is to travel the world. I really want to go to different countries to discover their culture, their norms, their philosophies, everything about their country. Of course every one of us really wants to travel outside the country. If I would be given a chance to travel near my beloved country, I would choose Singapore because I idolized the way they protects the environment. They used Eco-friendly materials for the sustainability of their resources. Aww, I'm such a drama queen. I'm just mesmerized by this wall art.

(Seats for two or four people)

Let’s now move to our food experience.

(Source: Zomato.com)

This is Plane Bistro's menu so you can have an idea on what type of meal you want to order on your first visit.

We ordered Crunchy Honey Tapa worth Php145.00 since my favorite dish (Chicken BBQ) is not available that time. This meal is awesomely good. The tapa itself is juicy, crunchy and not that too sweet. Honey is a better substitute of sugar that’s why this dish is a compatible mix with tapa since we all know that tapa dish is a mild sweet as usual. Vinegar with chili (siling labuyo) is a good dipping sauce of tapa. I suggest that you should also try this dish since we, Filipinos love tapa dishes.

Next is pasta. I chose Seafood Pesto worth Php175.00 because I love seafood’s. It’s quite different from the seafood pasta that I have tried before. It has a strong seafood taste with perfectly soft pasta, tiny slice of squid with two slices of garlic bread. It’s also good but we want also to try their other pasta soon.

Lastly are Salted Caramel Popcorn and Cookies & Cream worth Php95.00. My order in here is their best seller which is Salted Caramel Popcorn since I can make my own Cookies & Cream shake. What can I say about this drink? It tastes like heaven. It’s really creative to add caramel popcorn to a certain drink. At first, I expected that it taste too sweet but honestly I’m wrong. It’s creamy, a little bit salty, not that too sweet. What can I say about the price? For the amount of Php95.00, it’s reasonable. It’s not that expensive. You should try it too.

When it comes to overall experience, I recommend that you should try to visit their branch. It’s new for us and “unique themed resto’s” are trending right now. It’s also advisable to those persons who are seeking for “perfect selfie places” for them. Their foods are not that expensive ranging from Php95.00 to Php345.00 so students like me can have the capacity to avail their foods. Treat your friends/besties/barkada, your boyfriend or your girlfriend, or your family. You will never regret to celebrate your special occasions in here. If I will rate this casual dining restaurant from 1-5 (1 is the lowest, 5 is the highest), I will rate it 4 based on my observation and overall experience.

Caffe Piansa Experience

2016-02-12T03:26:00.001-08:00

Caffe Piansa is the first jail-themed restaurant in town which was located at 57 Dragon Street, Midtown Subdivision, San Roque, 1801 Marikina City. This is our first time to celebrate my birthday (November 9, 2015) in here together with my boyfriend. I am really amazed about the interior design of this restaurant. While we are waiting for our food to be served, my boyfriend and I took some pictures. Check out their unique interior.

(This is their menu)

(The Prosecution Area)

(You can buy their shirt worth Php250.00)

(Caffe Piansa Wall of Fame)

You can be part of their wall of fame. Just use their hashtag using your Instagram account and post your best mugshot picture.

We also took some pictures of ourselves for our bonding moments :D Just don't mind our wacky faces (Lol!)

(We are really PARTNERS IN CRIME)

Our food experience..

(I'm craving !! Rawr :3)

(A mouth-watering type of pizza)

You should also try their pasta. It's really delicious. I really enjoyed eating this dish because I'm a pasta lover too.

(My favorite Black Forest and Cookies and Cream Frappe)

(Buffalo Wings)

The last part is about our food experience. I must say that their food is totally delicious and very affordable. I and my boyfriend really enjoyed the experience here in Caffe Piansa. For the amount of Php500.00, you surely enjoy the Caffe Piansa experience.

Before you leave this jail-themed type of resto, don't forget to take a picture with their approachable crew people. They are really accommodating and easy to talk to. They gave us a sweet farewell before we leave the establishment. I really recommend you guys to hang out with your friends, loved ones or anyone you want to share your memories in here.
