SOME TIMELY TIPS ON [SALE] SHOPPING

Confessions of a Shopaholic (Google Images)

We all love shopping. Who doesn't?
Sale means we can get the same item for a lot less!
Sadly, this 4-letter words come out of hand when taken with
a concept of I-want-it-all attitude.
When I share these tips below, consider this as a for-us consumption.
Reason: I need to digest and execute these tips too! :)

Impulsive hoarding is not a way to go. Buying anything on sale just don't work. Experience tells us that if we buy the same item in red, blue, pink and brown color - chances are 80% of which will be stuck in your closet (or shoe rack) for that matter.

Easy on the plastics.
Read : Credit Cards. This is the heart and soul of Confessions of a Shopaholic movie. You need to be realistic even if items are on sale. Scraping a chunk of your savings just because LV is on sale, are you serious?!

Haste is waste. We are normally disillusioned to put everything on the cashier table and try them all at home but poof. You're not only a lady with a pretty face, you also have a common sense that goes with it (which is not so common these days, so they say). Why don't you try them first (if allowed)? Take a minute (or two) - to evaluate if the stuffs are worth buying.

There are 2 tips more. If I should pick the #1 most important tip,
that should be the last on the list!

BEAUTY ALERT : BRIGHT PINK LIPS




You've seen shades of pink everywhere!
It gives you that much needed color pop.
Trivia : Do you know that pink was once known as a man's color?

"The preferred color to dress young boys in was pink! Blue was reserved for girls as it
was considered the paler, more dainty of the two colors, and pink was thought to be
the stronger (akin to red). It was not until WWII that the colors were reversed and
pink was used for girls and blue for boys..." - Quote from Dress Maker Magazine

I remember when I was in grade school,
my tita (aunt) used to wear this super pink lip shade and I told to myself,
I'd never wear such a loud tone - hey... eating my words now!
That's what's nice about Fashion,
what's 'icky' today might be 'va-va-voom' tomorrow.


With the "pink-booms" hitting the fashion and beauty arena,
I think we have to give a due credit to the one
who started it all.
She changed the way we look at pink,
that it's no longer limited to Barbie's lips but ours too!

Who is she?
Here she is singing...
We found love in a hopeless place...
Gee! You guessed!

CMK FEATURED AT ELF COSMETICS PHILIPPINES



I am so touched by the guys and girls behind ELF Philippines.
Here are the TOP 3 reasons why I find E.L.F. Team super blogger-friendly:

1. They went out of their way to send me a Direct Message (Twitter)
saying that they've shared my blog post on their FB Page (click HERE).

2. They send a sweet thank you about me writing good reviews about
their 2-way cake foundation (this product wowed so many girls. For that review - click HERE).

3. I'm happy having #1 and #2 - but what impressed me the most is that
they tweeted me this! (Find out after the jump)

FASHION ALERT : MAXI DRESS WITH CARDIGAN


"Should-have-been-clearer" snapshot aside,
Maxi Dress is evolving to be one of today's fashion staples.
It mimics our lola's printed dusters before!
Colors and styles may vary
but the comfort factor is still there.

Dress from Mags
Fuchsia Knitted from The Landmark
Brown Bag from Longchamp
Slippers from Havaianas

As much as we like, we can't wear this royalty every day,
at least on a tropical weather like ours,
but when you're traveling on some windy place,
why not indulge your girly side?

Some tips before going with the flow:

♣ Add a Color Pop! Thanks to Korean Craze,
neon pink and red combination
are somewhat normal these days.

♣ Monochromatic and Color blocks are hot in here.

♣ When pairing the dress with a cardigan (knitted cover up)
-- choose a plain solid color to balance the whole outfit.

♣ For footwear - best bet are wedges,
gladiator sandals or your good ole havs.

Here are some celebrity gypsies caught on cam.


Last inspiration for today wears
neon blue maxi dress and neon green cardigan...
sounds not-so?
Gee - she pulls everything so well.
From her fedora hat, cat-eye glasses and maxi combi,
here she comes with her cute daughter!

TAGAYTAY FOOD TRIP : M and M BULALOHAN STOP



Jay : *driving* Gutom na ko (I'm hungry).
Mom : Kain muna tayo sa Bag of Beans (Let's go eat at Bag of Beans).
CMK : * Smiling * Yey!
Jay : Ayoko dun. Di naman ako nabubusog don. (Nope - I don't find their food filling).
CMK : * Rolling Eyes *
Daddy : Hanapin na lang ang bulalohan na sinasabi ni Jay dun na lang tayo kumain.
(Let's go find that special food store that Jay's talking about, and eat there.)
Jay : Sa Bag of Beans na lang mag-dessert (Bag of Beans for dessert!)
CMK : Okies. Best of both worlds.

And so - that's how we got at M&M Bulalohan.
I've seen Tagaytay a couple of times but I haven't seen this side of hers.
I'm glad I succumbed to the idea of trying this place.

It's not that fancy but here are some reasons why you should at least try:

1. You will eat overlooking the lush greens of Taal Volcano.
2. They have the best bulalo, fried squid and fried tawilis (fish).
3. Prices are reasonable. They serve the food hot.
4. Fruit stand above offers best fresh fruits at a meager price
(4 big pineapples for Php100 - seriously!).
5. Lastly - it's just a fun way to eat a hot soup surrounded by nature!

How hot is that?!
When we're about to leave - Mom asked - "Where's Kristine Anne (CMK)"?
They found me here. Heheh..

MANGO END OF SEASON SALE - JUNE 2012


December and June months have lots in common.
Sales are all around!
Speaking of - MANGO is having one!

Mango's End of Season Sale Up to 50% off on selected items until July 31.
Available at all Mango outlets nationwide.

Me and my cuz were multi-tasking last Saturday (read: Chikka + Shopping)
after a warm sumptuous Shrimp Sandwich burp at Contis (ideas? click HERE)
When doing some usual rounds in Glorietta, we found a big tarp screaming SALE.
Can't believe the store with a tarp is Mango - yes!

We noticed that the Spanish fashion place was somewhat packed,
so we gave in. And the rest was history. Hihi.
Bags, Dresses, Casual and Formal stuffs, even accessories are {still} all on sale.
Might want to catch them while the goodies are still nicely arranged on their racks.

Cuz got a hobo Ecru bag worth a little beyond a thousand bucks. It's nice!
Tempted to get a bag but - will power (weh) got the best of me so I settled for
one that I've been looking for the longest... it's a glittery blouse.

Blouse is simple but spells sophisticated.
Such a versatile number which can be worn in ways more than one.

TWILIGHT BREAKING DAWN 2012 PART 2


Known to be the last installment of Twilight Series,
Breaking Dawn Part 2's story line has evolved in so many ways.
From Bella's great leap of facial expression to impressive effects.
I, for one, haven't read the book yet.
But I guess I'll settle on seeing this movie on the big screen.

Of all the 2012 Hollywood movies, Twilight Breaking Dawn 2
made it big on advertisement (pictures, covers, teasers).
No wonder Kristen Stewart made it to the highest paid actress roll;
I believe Bella Swan deserves it.

ELF TWO-WAY CAKE FOUNDATION REVIEW



We all look for the 'right' coverage so girls eternally explore
for the one 'fonda' they can use day in and day out.
And even if you're not a fan of cake foundation,
evening events and weddings mark necessity for us to buy one.

Let me present : ELF TWO-WAY CAKE FOUNDATION

Some Details : E.L.F. stands for Eyes Lips Face. 8 years old in the beauty business and is a US Brand (based on my research).

CMK HAPPY THOUGHTS:
☺It's SPF 15. Good News for our skin!
☺Coverage looks au naturale! Not too cakey.
☺ 2 way means it can be applied wet or dry on your face.
☺ Comes with a mirror and sponge for only less than Php 250 (approx).

CMK WISHFUL THOUGHTS:
☻Wish they have more color tones (foundation vs. skin tone difference is so noticeable).
For girls with hybrid skin tone (mid-fair, mid-morena) - that might be a no-no.
Their title on the package chaps off easily.

Update: Here's their PH website (click HERE).

CMK THINKS: It's somewhat a necessity specially if you're attending formal events where light powders and bb creams are not enough. Here's a sample swatch:


Notice that it provides a just-right coverage
What about it's true color on one's face? Here goes.

FASHION ALERT : LEOPARD PRINTS BANDEAU


When you're spending your weekend on some windy place,
it's not convenient to let your hair down - so here's a no-brainer idea to try.
Tie a leopard ribbon round your head. How's that?

Nothing much - you just have to twist your hair up on a bun,
then secure the ribbon around your head and fold (tie it up) on top.
Here's how it looked like.


Celebrities jumped in the Lion's club too! Here's one of them.

PLAINS AND PRINTS SALE - JUNE TO JULY 2012


Mom and I were strolling one local mall near our vicinity

AVON'S ULTRA MOISTURE RICH ROSE LIPSTICK REVIEW


Admittedly, I don't use rosy lipstick much often
since I feel that it makes me look like a snob.
But there's no harm in playing with colors (as long as its not someone else's ♥).

If you have a chap-prone lips like mine, this one's for you.
It lives up to its name! Me and mommy have been loyal Avon fans.
Enter : AVON'S ULTRA MOISTURE RICH ROSE LIPSTICK

CMK HAPPY THOUGHTS:
☺Ultra Moisture Rich says it all. There's no dry lips here.
☺It has that fruity scent. It's noticeable but not that strong.
☺ Affordable. Less than Php 300 (approx). Not bad.

CMK WISHFUL THOUGHTS:
☻Coverage. It's a hybrid of matte and glossy but more of a glossy. Might need to reapply within the day.
☻ Wish there are more color choices (think: Pink!)
☻ The wide lipstick tip is prone to color spill (aka lagpas). Careful.

What about it's "true color" once applied on one's lips?And the verdict?

TOP 5 REASONS TO LOVE SEOUL, KOREA

Sights to See are Diverse. From the Teddy Bear Museum to Nami Island (click HERE). You'll just feel overwhelmed and childlike the moment you stepped into Incheon Airport. I personally like these 2 giggly bears. They are so huggable! Not to mention the many theme parks they have. Lotte World! 


Food. Seoul is a gastronomical place for your tummies to behold. From sweets to main dishes. You'll have 3 words to say to your diet. "Goodbye for now". Top picks are Samgyeupsal (beef rolled in a cabbage with uber yummy spices), Spicy chicken barbeque, Rice (adorable texture coming from a 7-eleven like store) and loads of desserts. Dear - I told you I am mortified to step on a weighting scale days after the trip. Too scared to see the truth. Hek hek!


Cold Weather. Okay the -12 degrees chill - I don't like that much but the fact that all our make-ups still looked "fresh" even after all that jazz - Hah. AMAZING! On the photo above, my clothes have like 4  layers but I can still feel it. Brr. Quoting one of my friends : Don't even dare complain how hot it is in the Philippines. When you were here murmuring about winter! People wants neither hot nor cold #confused. Hihi.

Metro. Was fascinated how is it at all possible that the once groping nation can soar up so high. Metros (train system) is one of the measures how well off a country is. And look at where Seoul is. Their maps are like snake and ladders. They have Korail (think train going to Bicol - that's their equivalent) and regular metros. On top of these structural stuffs, it appalled me to see that there are seats ONLY for disabled/pregnant/old persons. Young ones cannot sit on it. Not even if there's nobody seating there. How's that for respect?

Last but not the least... here's one reason I also miss most about South Korea...

SKIN FOOD'S SUGAR BLOOM SHADOW BOX REVIEW



So - you have that nice package. Organic feel and all the good stuff.
Here's my attempt to experiment on eye colors.
Picked a pink-blush-metallic-subtle trio for easy combination.

Got this beauty from Skin Food Seoul.
Good to know this loot is available here in Manila!

Let's meet SKIN FOOD'S SUGAR BLOOM SHADOW

CMK HAPPY THOUGHTS:
☺Their color palette is subtle and can match various pegs.
☺It's organic. Goodbye harmful chemicals or chemicals in general.
☺The ecru one (on the far right side) can serve as a tear drop makeup.

Note: Tear drop makeups are the trend where white shining dot
are placed on the corner of each eye (sides near the nose).
☺Best paired with a black liquid eyeliner. (Sample below).



CMK WISHFUL THOUGHTS:
☻ I'm not a fan of cotton-bud applicators ~ so that's a waley.
☻ It's not that pigmented - so I doubt its staying powers.
☻ The tin can box is kinda hard to open.

CMK THINKS:
This is best for everyday use and a must-have on your makeup bag.
It's organic and very easy to blend.
Very dainty combination too.

Here's a sample swatch. Warning : On my hand it looks like they're all the same, but they aren't. ☺

FASHION CLASSIC : THAT NEUTRAL BLAZER


What's with the title? Hah!

Nothing much - it's just that I miss wearing office clothes at times.
Been ransacking some of good old photos when I spotted this one.
Twas my favorite attire when I was working for a multi-national company back then.

Just so you know back then wasn't too far off. 2010 to be precise. #defensive ☺
So if there's such a word like Mini-Reminiscing this is a perfect fit.


Little Black Dress (from The Landmark)
Gray Blazer (from Tomato)
Nude Wedge (from Celine)

That's it.

Not sure if this post will qualify on my FASHION ALERT series so
I decided to come up with an entirely different title.
Blazers may not be an all time trendy thing but this is for sure a classic ensemble.

3 LOOKS FOR TODAY'S NEUTRAL BLAZER

LOOK 1 : Pretty in Pink
Cameron is strutting a coral (or blush pink, if you'll ask me) pants with
white top and nude blazer. Notice that her necklace don't go beyond the bra line
to emphasize a 'formal' ambiance. Strappy Sandals? Check!
 


LOOK 2 : LBD with a Twist
Of course LBD's are every woman's best friend but adding a
twist to an already sophisticated attire boosts its charm powers.
Notice that her heels are not too high and it comes with straps (as well).
The cut on her blazer accentuates her neckline + porcelain white skin.


Last look for this feed is something rock chick material.
I would be honest that I'm not a fan of this peg,
but it's worth giving a try. What is it?

CMK EATS : CONTIS SHRIMP SANDWICH


News Flash: Saturdays = Relax Days for me. 
It's either I'm attending an event.
Or hanging out with my friends.
Or spending a me-time. At times, it's all of the above. 


Having said that - one thing I miss in working
from Makati is to get to taste all the yummy goodies.
(On one hand, I can go on a diet without too much temptation)


That's why Saturday is a semi-cheat day. Hehe.
What is this Contis Shrimp Sandwich?
First, if you haven't tasted this - 
you're missing the tastiest and freshest sandwich in town!

When the waiter handed this over to me, I can't help but to look at it real close.
Much to the point of opening and peeking on what's really inside.
There are real (cooked, of course) shrimps with batter all over
sandwiched over 2 toasted bread with crisp sesame seed.
Feel free to check it's close up pic. Di ba?!

I should be honest though, this hunger buster is not cheap. But - well, worth it! And super yummy that it became my all time favorite sandwich.
How much does one cost? Read up.

THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2012


The Amazing Spider-Man 2012!
Now we know why he's not included in The Avengers 2012. :)
Anyhow - feast your eyes on the pictures and Official Trailer of Spidey.



Others are asking why they didn't get the same actor Tobey Maguire.
But since all's been done - why don't we make way for Andrew Garfield?
Showing in Manila approx June 29, 2012.


I personally like this whole series because of the quotes and comedy attached to it:

Gwen Stacy: [to Peter] Don't get me into trouble. Do NOT touch anything! 
=====================================================
Peter Parker: We all have secrets: the ones we keep... and the ones that are kept from us.

SILK SECRETS ONE MINUTE HOT OIL TREATMENT REVIEW

The power of Milk and all its benefits are known to mankind since Cleopatra's time.
Most specially applied on skin - but on hair?
That idea tickled my mind so I tried Watson's flagship Hair Care Brand:


SILK SECRETS ONE MINUTE HOT OIL THERAPY IN MILK 

CMK HAPPY THOUGHTS:
☺ It's a hot oil and milk treatment  in a bottle.
☺ It has thet texture that I love. Creamy yet not greasy.

☺ Budget-Chummy for less than Php 180.
☺My hair is manage-able with added shine whenever I use this product.

CMK WISHFUL THOUGHTS:
☻ I wish it's 100% organic.
☻ I wish the fragrance will linger a bit longer.
☻ Due to its milky property, don't dare use it when you only have 10 mins of shower time to spare. Rinsing off takes time so better use this when you're in a pamper-myself mood.
☻ Though the sign says recommended for daily use - I opt to use this weekly.



                                  To share with you how creamy each scoop is, here's a sample:

BAYO'S "WHAT'S YOUR MIX?" CAMPAIGN AND BAYO'S OFFICIAL STATEMENT












So much have been heard the past weeks about
Bayo's "What's Your Mix?" Campaign, needless to say,
it earned the ire and irks of various Filipino netizens.


Most, if not all, of the feedbacks relay these idea :
* That it promotes "racism".
* How in the world they get such and such percentage of race.
* That to be beautiful one has a mix of breed.

I totally respect their ideas and I don't want to blast another hate fires here
because I believe BAYO, being a 100% Filipino brand,
would never promote these negative campaigns.

After all has been said and done - I think it's a case of a mixed signal gone bad.
Or at least in the sight of the beholders (consumers).
BAYO has released their official statement.

Excerpt reads:

"We, at BAYO, deeply apologize for the message our campaign — “What’s Your Mix?” — has unintentionally conveyed. We would like to express our regrets to those who have been offended or felt discriminated against."

THE JOYS OF BOOKING WITH ASIATRAVEL.COM

Photo Credit : Asia Travel

Every once so often, we need to book our hotel for our domestic or international flights. And with the info overload of cyber world, we can easily be overwhelmed. Hence, let me bring you my top secret for travel ease the past 4 years. Asia Travel!


I guess the KEY is SIMPLICITY. We're just too tired to click and click with too few information just to find out that the total price to pay is way above our budget. Such a downer. You won't have that problem with Asiatravel. This site has been my buddy years ago. Thanks to one of my most well-traveled friend, Ryan who has first shared me the site. 

That being said, the MAIN thing that appalled me is that it provides the LOWEST price ever (generally, in my humble opinion).


The Site? The Steps? CMK's own hotel booking sample? Here goes:


1. If you're looking for hotel deals, log in to their site HERE.
2. Select destination, dates, number of nights, then surfaway.
3. And oh, their payment confirmation is such a breeze too. It's all in ONE page. Their cost breakdown (payment, vat, charges) - in simple form.

FASHION HATS OFF : PINK AND BLUE SODA WAVES GOODBYE

 The past weeks, I've been seeing too-good-to-be-true signs
about Buy 1 Take 2 (or something like that) on
Pink and Blue Soda Botiques. 


Thought it's just another refresher sale on going.
Not until - I went to one of their stores and made a little 'chikka' with the sales lady: 


CMK : Hi Ate, up to when ang sale nio? (Up to when will the Sale last?)
Sales Lady : Ma'm until supplies last po. Mag-co close na po kasi kami
(Ma'm only up until supplies are here. We will be closing soon...)
CMK : (Puzzled. With eyes wide open) Hmm... you mean close as in Closed? 
(I know I'm such a slow joe) (Translation : Ako na ang slow).
Sales Lady : Opo. Until end of next month po yata.
 * End of Story *

I'll be missing Pink Soda :(
Permit me to pour a touch of Nostalgia - when I was in Grade 4,
I really went gaga over those Pink Soda 49 Shirts.
In high school, I collected Hair Bands from this shop on all colors and prints.
I still recall how we girls love each new releases Marian Gracia wore.

Marian Rivera (who's real name is Marian Gracia) has been our school mate in high school.
Turned out she's been modeling for Pink Soda during our high school days.


Going back on the fact that Pink Soda will disappear
over the next few weeks, makes me emotional.
It's like losing your close friend. I mean it's not a friend, as in real human friend,
but you get my point.

How can we show them some love even for one last time? I'm telling you.

FASHION ALERT : DENIM TOP IS BACK!


There was one era when denim from top to bottom was known to be out of fashion but hey, along with the burst of spring rains (Hello June!) - comes a new wave of fashion ensemble. I remember on my grade school days when I was fond of denims. And how nostalgic - it's making a comeback. 

One should be cautious though before donning a denim getup. Better safe, rather than being mistaken of having "Laki Sa Layaw Jeprox" peg.

DO'S:
♣ Most denim tops work well with shorts + sneakers (or flip-flops).
♣ Better if you wear one denim at a time.
♣ Light washed or denim-faux top is a must buy this season.
♣ For some reasons, celebs find denim top + shades rock worthy.

DONT'S:
♣ Don't wear a denim top and bottom with the SAME color and texture.
♣ With tropical country like ours, best to avoid very thick denim garments.
♣ While light washed denim top and dark denim pants rock - please don't wear leather/denim shoes.
That would be too much.

With a new school year on the way - this might be a perfect day to night outfit. Here are some style inspiration that will fuel up your fashion minds! Spotted 2 femmes with my favorite cup of joe - CBTL. Sweet!



Next logical question - where to find these rock-star-best-friend in Manila?


Here are some shops that I spotted with the good loot:

BEAUTY ALERT : THE PERFECT PEACH

Peach is a color close to my heart. 
Thing is when pink was not yet generally acceptable, 
I can color me peach anytime I want. 
Now, I know, I've been unfaithful and 
turned tables in favor of pink shades :)

However, I still love to go back to good ole peach.
There's 2 products I ♥ to use to achieve the perfect Peach.

Lipstick : Meet Maybelline Pink Peach
Lip Gloss : Meet Fanny Serrano's True Light in Light Tulip
Note : FS True Light is technically a liquid lipstick


You can see on the swatch above 
that the Light Tulip is so creamy.
It may me a happy thought for some but for those
who prefer matte finish, I suggest do away with liquid lippies.

When you don't have much time,
these 4 fool-proof steps would do:
