Last Sunday was such a joy. I had a time of my life checking clothes, bags, etc at the newly re-opened concept store in BF Homes, Parañaque - The Penthouse.

The Penthouse is a multi-brand concept store that collaborates with established and emerging online brands in the country. They had there first store in BF Homes back in early 2015 and later on opened branches in UP Town Center, Robinsons Ermita, Vertis North. The Parañaque branch was closed for a time being because they had the store renovated and made it bigger. They just had a soft re-launch last July 23rd.

If you haven't been to their newly opened store let me give you an e-tour of The Penthouse. No need to thank me, lol. I'm sure you'll love the place and will score awesome pieces for your wardrobe. Btw, there are items for guys too in case you're wondering.

Hey there! Have any of you tried this 7-in-1 Orson Snail soap? I found this soap at South Supermarket. I don't know if you guys still go to the grocery but I do it every Sunday with my parents.Anyway, this soap caught my eye and even though I don't need it's brightening/lightening benefits I wanted to try it out, I'm getting into snail products lately and I wanted to see how it works on my pesky pimples.



On label it says Orson Snail soap is gentle and mild to your skin, with organic snail serum and natural antibiotics. It's a perfect treatment for acne and polluted skin's PH (hmm, what? ngaun ko lang to narinig). Contain's Snail slime extracts and Gigawhite for skin whitening and skin rejuvenation. Gigawhite is a newly discovered alternative for hydroquinone (wtf is hyrdro#$none).

So I googled, just in case you guys want to know what hydroquinone as well. Hydroquinone is used to lighten the dark patches of skin (also called hyperpigmentation, melasma, "liver spots," "age spots," freckles) caused by pregnancy, birth control pills, hormone medicine, or injury to the skin.

That said, I've used the soap and finished the whole bar. I actually liked it even though I didn't notice a significant difference. I dunno, like it felt good on my skin and on the face. I did use it on my entire body and not only on my face and it did ran out fast. Madali siyang nalusaw. When it comes to whitening don't rely on me, coz I'm already white AF. Sorry po. The only thing I can really say is if it did brighten up my skin, which it did but for the whitening, you gotta try it yourself. I'm not really reliable for the whitening shiz.



Again, the results I got can be different from yours. You might like it or hate it. Anyway, forgive me for this... I forgot how much I bought this one but if I find it on Sunday I'll make sure to update the post. For the meantime, I've checked Lazada and they have the Orson Snail Soap there which retails for 247.49. Really? I don't think that was the same price I bought it for. Parang ang mahal nung sa Lazada but I'll check it again.

That's it for the review! Thanks so much for being here. See you on the next post!

Reviewing the K-Palette Real Lasting Eyepencil this time. This is another really late post, to the point that K-Palette had already released a new packaging and with a dual-tip version of this one. Forgive me but at least let me share a bit of my thoughts on this product.

Here's another all black outfit. Wore this during Kyzen's baptism. I don't know why I went for an all black outfit, oh actually I think I do. Anyway, I'm just happy I got to share with you guys another ootd post. I'm blending with the background. Haha. I'd love to do more but my work is home-based so I'm usually just at home.

Another lip tint review for you loves. This time I did a swatch of the Liptone Get It Tints from Tony Moly. The shades I have are Coral Ming & Play Orange. Bought these for P390 ea.

Yayyy lip swatches! Haha. This post is way overdue but hey, better late than never. Haha. I finally had time to swatch the lip tints I bought from my Althea (see post). I paid P240 for each tint. There are two/three other tints from Tony Moly and Skinfood from the Althea haul, I will be sharing it in a separate post. Anyway,  let's cut to the chase and jump to the swatches of Onsaemeein Velvet Moist Lip Tints.

Loves, like you I've always wanted to shop at Amazon but never dared. Why? Well, two things, first, shipping straight from Amazon to the Philippines is extremely expensive. Shipping fee would cost more than the price of the item. Like for this plushie that I bought, the price is $14.99 that's around P795.38. If I have it shipped directly to my address here in the Philippines. I'd have to pay an additional amount of P1,133.91 just for the shipping, hiwalay pa ung presyo nung plushie. Syempre, no go! Kalokohan yun mga beshie, and that's just for one item. Imagine the price I have to pay if I ordered more. Aside from that, there's a chance that I'll pay additional tax and fees for customs. In short, MAHAL! Then I heard about LBC Shipping Cart. Ma-try nga!
