REVIEW: HAPPY 6 DAYS RESTAURANT

Aside from cosmetics and skin care products, I love food. 
Food is my first love. I eat everything from pork to veggies and I've tried the raw ones to even the strange ones. 
I just feel bad that I wasn't able to document all of them :(

Lemme try to share some of the food that I love and restaurants that I've been to starting today. Hope I could help you guys in one way or another about these food/restaurants :)


Here's my first restaurant review. 




******************************************************




My work ends at around past 11pm. I do not have time to eat dinner so whenever I finish my work, I am hungry as a horse. Though we are surrounded by restaurants, I am usually looking forward to eat something that is not "fastfood". 

Good thing there's a Korean restaurant open 'till 2am and they serve good Korean dishes at an affordable price. 

RESTAURANT NAME: Happy 6 Days Restaurant
This restaurant is located in Escriva Drive in Ortigas Pasig City. I am so sorry I do not have the photo of the whole place.

It's a small place and can only accommodate around 45 people. It is owned by a Korean national and he always stays in this restaurant. He personally takes orders and delivers the orders in nearby areas. 



I love the home-y ambiance. It looks and feels cozy.






THE FOOD/MENU:

Since this is a Korean restaurant, expect a lot of kimchi and spicy dishes. 
The food is affordable if you will eat in groups. And the price is just AFFORDABLE. :) 
Here's the complete menu of Happy 6 Days Restaurant.

REVIEW: Holika Holika PIG-NOSE CLEAR BLACKHEAD Deep Cleansing Oil Balm

I am so sorry for the super late post. 
I've been through a lot of stress lately so I had to take a rest. :( 
Anyways I am so happy to be back on my usual routine. ;)

I have a lot of stuff to posts but jeez, I feel like there's no time. :( 

*******************************************************

I got my latest beauty haul 3 weeks ago. I was able to post it on my personal blog (http://theunemployedfish.tumblr.com/). 

Here they are!!




I ordered a lot from Han Ryu's sale last time. I really saved a lot! 

I'll just share my haul. I promise to make a review for each product as soon as I try them.

Oh my goodness!!

Oh my! 
I have been on a hiatus for a long time. 
Jeez. It has been 30 years since I last wrote here (yeah, 30 years is an exaggeration). 
Anyways, I am back on track and I will be updating this as soon as possible.
I am already prepared for my reviews (and I am just so freaking excited!) 


Hope to be back soon.. sorry if i could not answer all the queries for now... :( I am really really sorry.. :(

REVIEW: AVON LIPSTICKS (Assorted)

Oh my!
I hate myself for not being on time. I hate it more when I am waaaaaaaaay too late for my schedule. 

This post was due last holiday (Nov. 2) I do not know why it took me so long to do this :(

Anyways, I'll be out for a while. Hmm.. dunno how long but I will be back soon. 
I took photos of the stuff I will write so that I can still post something ;) 




*************************************************************

One of my church-mate sells Avon products. I have the privilege to pay my orders from her within one month so I usually buy Avon products from her. Actually, I am a regular customer of Avon lipsticks! :) 

These Avon lipsticks are my every-day-must-have lippies. Aside from they are affordable (plus the fact that I can pay them within a month), these lipsticks works for me! ;) 

I have 11 assorted Avon lipsticks to show you. Unfortunately, I do not have a complete set of photos of myself wearing these lipsticks :( 



Okay, this is a lot. Lemme first give you a list of the Avon lipsticks that I will show you. 
(The italicized word is the description for each lipstick.) 


1. Ultra Moisture Rich 24k Gold Lipstick - K401 Ruby in Gold - Shimmer
2. Ultra Moisture Rich 24k Gold Lipstick - K100 Golden Rose - Shimmer 
3. Ultra Moisture Rich 24k Gold Lipstick - K102 Natural Gold - Shimmer
4. Ultra Color Rich  White Gold Lipstick - A300 Glazed Coral - Shimmer 
5. Smooth Minerals Lipstick - M01  Pink Quartz - Shimmer/Satin 
6. Ultra Color Rich Mega Impact Lipstick - C100  - Really Rosy- Satin
7. Ultra Moisture Rich Lipstick - M306 Coral Fantasy - Satin  
8. Ultra Moisture Rich Lipstick - M05 Lava Love - Satin 
9. Ultra Moisture Rich Lipstick - M105 Crushed Rose - Satin 
10. Ultra Moisture Rich Lipstick - M06 Knock Out Pink - Satin 
11. Avon's Simply Pretty ColorBliss Sparkles Lipstick - Plum Sparkles 







THE PRODUCT/s
- This is a lot so I would try to just give a brief description according the the type of lipstick. 
- Avon has a wide selection of lipstick to choose from. Here are the ones that I have. Got the description from the official website of AVON Philippines



a. Ultra Moisture Rich 24k Gold Lipstick 

 4 g
*Enhanced with pure 24K gold.
* Glides across lips leaving lustrous and shimmering flecks.

*I have 3 of these lipstick - RUBY GOLD, GOLDEN ROSE and NATURAL GOLD. 

*These lipsticks have' shimmering flecks'

*I love these because they keep my lips moisturized and at the same time they do not look too matte nor too shiny.











My personal favorite is the Ultra Moisture Rich 24k Gold Lipstick in Natural Gold.  It looks so natural on my lips and those shimmering flecks are not too obvious.
This is my personal favorite! ^_^

My Look for the Week ;)

This week was the most stressful week that I ever had! I am like 2 months late for my monthly report, my workload doubled and I had so many stuff to think about. 



Thank goodness I had few minutes of free time to take a 'rest' in our pantry. And I am really lovin' the window there. :)

REVIEW: VANEDO BEAUTY FRIENDS MASK ~ SNAIL

I am not a fan of masks because the thought of putting the mask on for 20 minutes (lying there, doing nothing....) makes me feel bored already. I am quite impatient. I've actually tried using masks but aside from waiting for 15-20 minutes, those masks did not do anything to improve my face :(
So when I got some masks,which are actually freebies from Han Ryu, it took me two months to try them.


But after trying this, I might have a different perspective when it comes to facial masks. ;) 

Here is my review for Vanedo Beauty Friends Mask ~ SNAIL




***************************************************************************

THE PRODUCT:

- This is a facial mask ~ and this is a Korean facial care product. 
- VANEDO BEAUTY FRIENDS MASKS comes in 25 types/kinds/variant. (This is a LOT!! )
- Each mask comes in 23g essence and 2g mask sheet.



- This is the one that I've tried:

Please click the photo to enlarge. 

- This is #16 ~SNAIL (yes! and have you heard that snail cream is now popular in Korea?! Snail Cream is definitely on my list!!
- For all SKIN TYPES.

REVIEW: NATURE REPUBLIC STAIN GIRL'S TINT - 3 -

Argh! I made a promise to myself to make at least 2 reviews in a week but unfortunately I can't. :( I have a lot of stuff to do (and 99.9% of it is work-related. Argh!!) 




Aside from my BB creams, I love lipsticks, lip colors and lip stains. My addiction strikes again!   I haven't tried any lip stains aside from Maybelline, Revlon and TonyMoly. So when I saw this on sale I immediately grabbed it :) 


This is my review on Nature Republic Stain Girl's Tint - #3


*********************************************

THE PRODUCT
- This is a lip stain from Nature Republic. 
Nature Republic Stain Girl's Tint - #3

- Content: 9ml 
- Comes in three colors: Red, Pink and Orange. The one that I used for this review is the orange one - #3.

REVIEW: SKIN79 THE ORIENTAL GOLD PLUS BB CREAM

I am back! :) 

I cannot hold back my excitement! Finally, I am already done editing my photos for this review. (Actually, the editing of the photos is the one slowing me down in writing a blog. Hope I'll get used to it soon ^_^)

Here is my review on Skin79 The Oriental Gold Plus BB Cream. 



*****************************************************
WARNING: AGAIN, I love taking photos (although I am not a photographer and I do not have a keen eye for perfection that most photography enthusiasts are looking for). This review contains a lot of images and it may take some time for the photos to load. This review has a LOT OF PICTURES so that I can show you how good/bad the product is. 



*****************************************************

I bought this BB cream last week (check this: http://theunemployedfish.blogspot.com/2012/10/upcoming-reviews-skin-79-oriental-gold.html#.UIJHVm-R-So)

MY LOVE AFFAIR WITH SWIMSUITS

I love swimsuits! I love bikinis!
;)
I don't know how I got obsessed with them but 2 years ago.. my compulsion with bikinis / swimwear started. (Good thing I got over with it) 

I still love collecting them though. 


Here are some of my favorites. 



These are my BANDEAUS! I am not a fan of this swimsuit design (because it does not flatter my figure) but I LOVE THEM ;) 





- Here are my all-time favorite string bikinis. These are the 'abused and used' because they are just comfortable and these are what I call the 'safe ones'. These do not 'slip' and they stay in place whether you swim or just roam around the beach or resort. 





-These are what I call the "conservative" ones. These are 'not too skimpy' compared to the string bikinis that I have above. These also do not show 'too much' cleavage. These are just plain cute. ^_^ 




-These are my favorite bottoms. These are comfortable bottoms and they just match any bikini top I have. :) 




-And here are my favorite pairs! Yehey! I usually do not wear pairs because I prefer wearing  pairs with daisy dukes or short 'shorts'. 



-This one is a personal favorite. I love this because it looks 'girly' but not too much. I love the color combination too. 
This one reminds me of Avril Lavigne. 


- Another personal favorite. This is a Speedo 2-piece swimwear. I love this because this it does not have a sporty look but the quality is super duper A-OK (i dunno if the expression I used is appropriate) 
-It has a 'non-slip' /rubber-like feature on the straps and the bottom to make sure that the whole swimwear does not slip all through out your activities :) 



- I also fell in love with HIGHWAIST bikinis. I fell inlove with this PIN-Up girl style. 
My nautical pin-up style high-waist bikini. 









My skin-tone highwaist bikini. :) 



- And other 'still-inside-the-packaging' , unused high-waisted bikinis :) 




Love! love! I just wish I had the time to go out and enjoy the sun and beach.

UPCOMING REVIEWS: SKIN 79 THE ORIENTAL GOLD BB CREAM PLUS, ECORRE ARTIST BB CREAM AND NATURE REPUBLIC STAIN GIRL'S TINT



Happy Monday!
Yes, it is indeed a happy Monday. 
Although I had a ton of things to do at work, I am still happy to get home and enjoy my bed. :) 



- Online shopping strikes again when I got this package today. Inside are my orders from my favorite online store, Han Ryu
- I just love her ;) 






 - I ordered only three items from her but I got a lot! 
I love Ms. Grace more when I opened the package!!! ^_^


- I am a certified BB cream addict. I (again) ordered 2 BB Creams. I can't wait to try these. (I  am honestly controlling myself not to open these yet - and the agony is killing me!) 





- Here is the first BB cream I would like to try. This is Skin 79 THE ORIENTAL GOLD BB CREAM PLUS. It was on sale for a whooping PhP695. This one comes with a lip and cheek color. :) 



- This is something new for me - ECORRE ARTIST BB CREAM. I got this for PhP550. I am quite hesitant with this because I am not familiar with this brand but something inside my head is telling me "buy it! buy it!!" LOL!!! I just hope that I will like this (*crossing my fingers*) 




- I love TONYMOLY Tints, so when I also saw this tint, I immediately 'grabbed' this (when you buy online especially through Facebook, you shout/type  'MINE!!!!!! to 'grab' an item) 









This looks pretty in actual!
- I got freebies from Ms. Grace. :) But I guess these two are my favorite ones. 




This is a personal note from Ms. Grace.  :) I should be the one thanking her for a LOT of things. ^_^ 








I can't wait for these ;)

REVIEW: TONYMOLY LUMINOUS GODDESS AURA BB CREAM

FINALLY!
I am so excited for this. This is actually a super late review. I wanna say sorry it took a long time for me to post something about this. :( 

Anyways, I wrote last time that our 'Big Boss' in Korea came and visited our company. He is such a really nice guy. Every time he comes to the Philippines, he brings something for his employees. This year, he gave us this: TonyMoly Luminous Goddess Aura BB Cream


I took this photo the day I got this from Mr. Kim! Yehey! 
-I think I got this like 3 weeks ago. I was so busy with work that I almost forgot to make a review for this. Now here we go!!!!!
