When ever we hear Matte lipstick it always in our head that this seems to have a drying effect on our lips. Matte lipsticks have this characteristics where they dry to your lips velvety and with no shine finish. Which a bit struggle for us girls because a lips tend to go dry and chapped when we wear our fave matte lipstick. But I'm here to share to you guys a newly discovered by me matte lipstick from Revlon.


Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor : in shade HD Love/Amour (625). This has a thick consistency compared to other matte lipsticks that I've tried already. It cost P575 over the counters of Revlon here in the Philippines. It is a bit pricey but let's move to our review to know if it is worthy to buy.

The Packaging

My Verdict

Application to the lips: On my application, it glides well to my lips, it has a feeling of lip balm while I'm applying it. It contains that sort of sweet smell like candy I think but it fades over the time when you wear it. It gives your lips some moisture so you don't need to put lip balm before hand. The applicator is soft too.

Color pay off: The color of this one gives your lips a sheen color of red.


As you can see at the picture above, it can be categorize on the blushing red shade. You can see that it seems not a really matte lipstick, Amour shade is perfect for any skin tone.

Staying Power: It stayed to my lips for about 2-3 hours after applying with a pure talk and not drinking water nor eating. It does transfer to the tissue when I tried the transfer test but some color still stayed on my lips. At the end of the day, it leaves a stain to my lips which is a good point if you don't want to retouch your lips throughout the day

Overall: I love the characteristics of this lipstick leaving my lips moisturize, it is not that typical matte lipsticks but it moisturize my lips. The color is good and it still leaves stain. In terms of the price, I will think twice repurchasing this lipstick as mom it is a little bit of pricey that I can buy affordable lipstick with the same characteristics.

For you what is you best matte lipstick/s?

Thank you for reading my review! My your eyebrow game be as strong as your coffee!

Angat, Bulacan is my province, if ever you will be passing by my province, here is a quick tip on where to eat.


Rengmitz' Grill just recently had a renovation of their Restaurant. It was a huge difference because before it had an ordinary restaurant design. But now somehow the interior is a lot better than before. It has a unique hanging light at the ceiling , the chairs and tables are now presentable and lots of instagramble quotes are can be found inside. It is cozy while you and your family are enjoying the great food that they serve.

Menu

They served breakfast to dinner. Some of their menu have a schedule like the "Fresh Lumpiang Sariwa" which is available every Friday only. The price of each food that they serve is just right but the BBQ price for my opinion is a little bit pricey. I think they based their price of the BBQ on the demand of it and they are known for their BBQ.

What are my top picks from their menu?

It is already the half of April, and my birthday just past, my family had decided to take a break and have a simple but meaningful birthday celebration / mini-reunion. We headed to a newly opened Resort at Bulacan namely La Florentina Resort, it opened last March I think, and their video teaser was a bomb watch it!

In some point in our life, we want to change and for my part, I wanted to see the new me with my hair. I decided to get it done by my beautiful friend Shane, who was skillful to do it and style my hair. Lately we notice that there are new colors coming up that we need to bleach our hair in order to get the right color that we want. For my experience to my hair I've done it for 3 times this past few months to get the color that I want. This blog post is just a summary of my hair's adventure this past three months.


The picture at the right was my boring dark brown hair color, and the picture at the right was my bleached hair for about 2 times I think. I bought my bleach powder and the oxidizing formula from the online store. My friend mixed them together and form a very bubbly mixture like what you can see at the picture below.


It was a light blue mixture that has a strong smell on it. My friend portioned my hair and started to brush the mixture to my hair. Once the desired portion of my hair were covered with all of the mixture, we waited for about 15 minutes and she checked if the color was already fading. To make the story short our first try was not that successful on the case of my hair. It just turned out to be light blonde color with orange hint on it.



On our second try to bleach it, I think we are successful to do so, because it is already lighten up a bit, and the color that I wanted is already can be seen. Purple color. Sorry for this short blog post, but I will keep you posted on my other #hairgoals in the future.

Baking is my favorite past time whenever I'm on our house at Bulacan. Baking seems to wash away my stress in life. I'm so happy that I got an invite on a workshop from one of the famous Chef in Philippines Chef Edward Mateo, he is known for his exquisite design of cakes with fresh fruits. The workshop is about the Basic Cake & Stable Frosting held on BREVILLE Branch at Balintawak, Quezon City.

Let me give you a little background about BREVILLE

In 1932, Bill O'Brien and Harry Norville mixed their last names together, and the Breville brand was created. They started off making radios, then mine detectors for the war. After World War II and the arrival of the television, they turned their attentions to small appliances and sold the radio business. After Bill O'Brien had set up the Breville Research and Development center in the 1960s, the ideas just kept coming. In 1974, they invented the sandwich toaster. In 1977, they invented Australia's first food processor, the Breville Kitchen Wizz. Breville's Center of Design Excellence is in Botany in Sydney, Australia.
After a 75-year journey, which has seen changing lifestyles and technologies, Breville has grown to become an iconic Australian and global brand. Design and innovation have underpinned this success. From the Snack'n'Sandwich maker in 1974, to the wide feed tube Juice Fountain™ in 1999, and the Professional 800 Collection of today, Breville has provided inspiration to generations of customers.
Though Breville's roots are in Australia, Breville-designed products are now sold in more than 30 countries around the world, including the United States. Like a true Australian however, Breville has remained grounded, despite its global success. Breville is proof that some companies still listen to customers.

The workshop it self, attendees able to learn many things. Chef Edward Mateo, uses BREVILLE Technology on baking, for mixing the ingredients he uses the Scraper Mixer, it has a rubber scrapper for continues mixing of ingredients.

Scraper Mixer Pro

Ingredients:

• Chocolate Mousse Frosting

• 150g Chocolate

• 2 cups whipping cream

Procedure:

1. Chop the chocolate and place it in a bowl. Using the Breville Multi Chef - rice/cook function, add 1 cup water then place the bowl on top of the innerpot.
2. Melt over a slowly simmering until the temperature reaches approximately 45 Celsius on a cooking thermometer, Using the Breville Scraper Mixer Pro, beat the cream until firm peaks cling to the whisk.
3. Whisking quickly, add about 1/3 of the whipped cream to the hot chocolate. Pour the mixture over the remaining cream and fold in gently with the whisk or a spatula to evenly blend the ingredients.  

 Chef Edward use the Breville Smart Oven , The 22 - liter Smart Oven™ also suggests the use of convection and makes adjustments for fresh or frozen ingredients. This will cook the cake evenly.


Each of the cake that Chef Edward bake, we tried them out, and I say to you that it is amazingly delicious and look stunning.

Reading this book for me is quite interesting. I was born with a family that is not that rich but we are into business. For my point of view the cover say it all, I like how the cover of the book was designed. A quote saying principle 1: Don't quit your job. It is always our mind set when you taught you have that enough money to established your own business, we quit our job and start planning the business. On my own experience we shouldn't quit our job. Like what was written at the book of Sir Don Soriano, your monthly salary from your regular job will still be important for you to stabilize your own business in terms of money. Let's start talking about the book itself.

What is the topic of this book?
