City Color Nudes Swatches + First Impressions

Been searching for a nude palette eye shadow for a while now. I already used up my previous eye shadow so I was in scarcity for about a month already. I have an eye shadow palette but I can't bring it with me in my Kikay kit cause it's too big. I also have an OCD on finishing up my nudes so I don't always buy one.

Though I have been eyeing for my utlimate dream and my second ultimate dream nude palettes, I found a product that is handy, and is affordable. I really have to always think twice or even trice for my purchases nowadays so I am really glad  I got my hands on City Color Nudes Palette. 

Here are my first impression on City Color Nudes Pallette: 

 

Get this for only Php395 at http://www.ensogo.com.ph/deals/nudes-eye-shadow-palette

The City Color Nudes Palette has twelve nude colors with combination of matte colors to shiny ones. It has four (4) light colors that can be used for base eye shadow and highlighting. Eight of the colors are from medium natural colors to dark ones. These are workable colors to have day make up to night makeup. Having nude palettes for your eyes is a must and necessary tool to have especially for beginners and for those who like natural and fresh make up. 

I am excited to work on this palette as I am challenged to have as many different looks as I can just by using this one palette. So here's a swatch of the colors on paper so you'd really see the variety. 

My First Impressions of the pall=ette is outstanding. I love the slimness of the palette because I can bring it anywhere. Not so bulky and can fit into my kikay kit. I also love the combination of colors, I can imagine the looks I can do with the light, medium, and dark colors. As of my first swatch, I'd say it is pigmented because I only had to put a little amount of the powder for the colors to pop out. My only reservation for now is that some of the shiny ones does not really stand out except for the gold one. I think it is really more on the matte side. 

For now, I am satisfied with my purchase but I'd follow up this post with an FOTD so I can road test it.

Movie Nights: Cheap and Fun Bonding Moments with Family

One of the many things we do as a family is Weekend Movie Nights. It happens every Friday and Saturday night in our little abode and we keep it as a family tradition. It is only in these days that we allow the little boy to have more than one hour of screen time of his favorite movie/cartoon. It is also the time when we watch newly downloaded past movies we have not watched yet. Of course, the movie should be something that interest the little man of the house.

But what is a Movie Night without snacks, right? The experience would not feel like a legit movie night if there are no popcorn, chips, and drinks. Yes, I let my little boy eat some chips during Movie Nights. (Please don't raise your eyebrows at me,okay?!) We let him have a small portion or opt for a healthier alternative for him like popcorn, peanuts, and biscuits. Soda is still a no-no Enzo so we just buy him his own juice. Anyway, Friday and Saturday nights is now something we look forward to besides it having to be the end of the workweek. It is a time for me to bond together and enjoy a movie we will all enjoy. But it is challenging at times to stock up on the movie paraphernalia like snacks and drinks. So for your last minute grocery shopping, head on to Ensogo Philippines and get your favorite snacks just in time for your movie dates. 

Here are more deals and promos you can take advantage of: 

No one says you need to spend a lot of money on family or couple dates right? I also suggest downloading the Ensogo App on your mobile for faster online shopping. Now there is no more excuse to not feel just like in the cinemas at home with Ensogo Philippines.

Find the Perfect Watch for Every Style

I rarely wear accessories. If I ever wear one it would be just my watch. For a while now, I have been using my Esprit Rose Gold watch. I also have my leather Guess watch and some silver watch I used for different occassions.

My everyday watch from Esprit.

I find it so easy to work with watches to match my style and it does not feel too much for me. I don't feel comfortable with too much accessories that is why I keep it a point to never forget to wear my watch. Here are some of the ways I wear my watches, depending on where I am going and what my mood is.

For Casual Days: If you're style is more on the simple and comfortable side, then you are a minimalist. Not too fancy but still elegant. My casual days include window shopping in the mall, doing errands, or just going to other places. 

For Sporty/Adventure Days: I am a sporty and adventurous type of girl so I enjoy the outdoors and sports. When outdoors, a watch needs to be strong enough to weather temperature, and terrain. So a watch needs to be waterproof, and durable. If you are looking for a sports watch you may try G-Shock or Baby G brands. 

For Formal Events: A watch can either make or break an outfit in a formal attire. It would either be too chunky for your long gowns or too loud for your cocktail dress. I actually have a difficulty in matching my long formal dresses with my watches. But in my wishlist are some thin bracelet type of watches that can be worn with long gowns. 

So a watch is a practical and stylish accessories a person can wear to complete their look. It is an easy accessory which serves a purpose for everyone. But getting the right style for your personal style can be challenging at times. Luckily Ensogo Philippines answers our prayers.

Ensogo Philippines offers as part of their Philippine Online Shopping festival discounts and deals on different branded watches like Marc Jacobs, Casio, G Shock and more.

Make Up Basics for the Busy Woman with Ensogo Philippines

As a working mom, I keep with myself basic makeup products that help me look fab and polished in minutes. I only have about six (6) steps in doing my makeup which takes about 10-15 minutes everday. I'm a no-makeup makeup person and all natural makeup kind of person. I like to to keep my face flawless, my eyebrows looking natural and my eyes just bright and awake. I also make my blush and lipstick just on the fresh side so I don't overwhelm my students while I teach. (Haha!;) 

In choosing make up products I go for the easy, handy, and affordable ones. Something I can use for a long time and which can take me from day to night looks. 

I do my make up before teaching and it stays for the rest of the day. As I have my mind on work already, my makeup is the least of my priorities so it is a good thing that I often only retouch my blush and lipstick within the day. I think most working moms would agree when I say putting on makeup should not take too much of our time. 

Luckily, Ensogo Philippines offers a variety of makeup products in their site. It makes shoppinh easy for me because I don't have to go to the mall and buy my makeup basics. They carry alot of make up products from over-the-counter brands to luxury items. 

For some basic makeup, here are some of my suggestions: 

They also have products from Maybelline with ongoing promos and discounts.

Character Towels for Kids and Kids at heart

I love towels. I think I can never have enough of it and so at home three of us ( me, my hubby, and the little boy) have about two towels each. Enzo has a lot more because he has other sets for use at home, and for travel. We also often change towels twice a week.

Enzo's favorite is his Lightning McQueen towel. He learned to use his towel for drying because he found Lightning's face inviting. The problem with a towel being his favorite is it becomes old and ruined. Luckily, I found. Alot of Character designed towels online like Spiderman, Finding Nemo, and Disney Characters. 

But what made me even more excited were some designs that I liked for myself. Yes, I am a kid at heart that's why. But really who can resist Anna and Elsa right?

All these are available at Ensogo Philippines. Visit them for more character designed towels. Towels are at a discounted price of Php199 and Php249.

Repair your Frizzy Hair with Schwarzkopf Extra Care Ultimate RepairShampoo

Okay so it has been more than a month since I cut my hair short, and I tell you it is more work than having long hair. But I dont really get bothered that much whatever or however my hair looks like. All I want is to have a healthy and non-damaged hair.

So I read in some articles that it is also good for the hair to make a shampoo rotation. Although I have been a Dove user (and still is) I wanted to try a shampoo specifically with Keratin. Keratin from reviews I read helps to make the hair smoother and repairs damage like split ends and dryness. Having a frizzy hair, my hair tends to be tangled up and looks dry most of the time. 

Keratin is a protein seen in the outer layer of the skin and the hair. It is reaponsible for the toughness and elasticity of the hair. It diminished as the hair is exposed to heat, UV rays, and other chemical treatments resulting to breakage and damaged hair follicles. By using shampoo with Keratin it helps strengthen the hair and while coating it with the natural keratin present in the hair making it shinier and healthier. Keratin shampoo works well for people with curly or frizzy hair. 

As I was doing my usual Ensogo Online Shopping, I saw Schwarzkopf Extra Care Ultimate Repair Shampoo that is sold for only Php25.00 for 80ml shampoo with a minimum of 4 pieces. Not bad for a hundred pesos right? 

Bought two sets, paid Php63.00 for deliver and it arrived on the first day of its shipping schedule. Got me my stocks ready cause I badly need to do some damage repair on my short hair. 

Here is a before photos of my hair before using Schwarzkopf Extra Care Ultimate Repair Shampoo.

Here is the effect of using Schwarzkopf Extra Care Ultimate Repair Shampoo. Used in alone without any other hair product just to test it's effectivity. 

It might not look much of a difference but if you look closely it's smoother than the before photo and my hair has less "tutsang". It also has lesser tangles and surprisingly without conditioner I could comb through it. 

My first thought on Schwarzkopf Extra Care Ultimate Repair Shampoo with Liquid Keratin

Packaging: Looks royalty with the black and gold packaging. 

Consistency: The shampoo is a bit liquidy unlike the usual products that I use. 

Effects: Smoothens hair and removes tangles. Effect is immediate even on the first use. 

As for my first use, I'd say my hair is compatible to the shampoo because it made my hair smoother and less frizzy even on the first use. If you want to give it a try, order it in Ensogo and repair your hair the Schawrzkopf Ultimate Repair Shampoo.
