I'm sure it's no longer a surprise that this is another OVER the TOP LATE POST! I've been really busy with a lot of things going on lately, a new job, my baby growing faster than I thought and a couple of health issues but that's a totally different story. (super grin) Moving on...

Another first for me, my MONTHLY FAVORITES- 2014!
I hope it's not too late to post this one just now...and so before that happens let me share my mostly loved and over used products for the whole months duration of July till December.

Starting off with my skincare routine.
I'm loving this whole bunch 'coz they just work for me, I mean the combination is perfect and this set somehow cleared my skin and moisturized it to perfection...almost. hehe


This is a soap, an organic soap, not poop on a sealed plastic bag! I'm a prankster but I'm NOT SICK! My friend made this amazing soap out of organic ingredients and this particular one smells like eucalyptus or some mint. I'm not really sure what else she put in there but it WORKS! Kudos JA and thanks for this!

The following products are arranged as to how I orderly apply them.

FAVORITES: For the whole months of July 'till December of 2014!

With a good looking boy I hardly know, as the sun sets, by the sea...I had my very first kiss @ 15. My unforgettable younger years!

It was one summer break, my third year in high school, my family went to my grandparent's house away from the city lights, worst, away from all the technology I grew up with.(Of course that's an exaggeration!) Definitely a summer vacation plan so booring I don't even dare share to my friends.

(A few days before the said vacation. Inside the classroom during break time.)

Barkada 1:  Oist! Guess where we're going this vacation? (looking so excited as everyone boringly looked at her waiting for the answer)...BORACAY! Body..check! Swimsuits...check! Boys...be ready!!!

Everyone laughed hysterically na me kasamag kilig! Then the girls (barkada) started sharing their vacation plans.

Barkada 2 : My mom already bought us tickets to Singapore. Dadalawin daw namen si Papa since di siya makakauwi this summer. I have a good feeling I'll meet my first boyfriend there!

( She got the same reaction....WAAAAHHHH!!! Sigawang me tilian na me kasama pang palakpakan!)

Barkada 3: (Baklita) ASk me naman kung san kame pupunta... Dali....( Saan?! Excited, teasingly everyone asked) I'll be with my cousins and their barkadas...go kame sa GAY BAR! sa pasukan di nako virgin! (a roar of laughter!)

Everyone burst-ed into laughter, as always. Everyday is like this for the past 7-8 years of my life. I've been with this circle of crazies ever since I learned how to properly read in this co-ed school. We have our differences but our similarities are outrageous. We all love the DRAMA, the MUSIC, the FANTASIES and we just can't wait to be grown ups! We're KIKAY that way! Now let me introduce to you, in a more detailed manner, the GAGARITAS!

SERIES: SUMMER @15 (unpolished)

For some reason I've been obsessing about lip products lately and it doesn't even matter if it's a brand or a product not well reviewed on social media networks. (whew!) I get intrigued easily, especially if it's a Korean lip product, that has a great vivid and bold pigmentation. I always have the idea of Korean lips as soft and nude, more natural and muted colors or something glossy and gradient so vivid is the least I expect from them. (I like them soft and natural looking though)

Then, the brand MIZON created a range of lip lacquers I believe to be inspired by NEW YORK CITY! Yes, every color is in your face! Do I love it or Hate it? Keep reading to find out.

the lights reflected...sowee! 
I got these items a week before July ends and I can not be any happier! I was actually thinking twice whether to purchase these or not but what the heck, I ended up giving in to my impulses..hihi

JULY PAHABO-HAUL!

Sunday, July 6, 2014


Pretty Sandee!
I had this for a while now and I never get to use any of the items inside. This is also my very first makeup from the brand CLIO (aside from their LIPNICURES of course) and unfortunately I can't tell you much about them yet. With no further ado, let's take a good look at what's inside my Clio pouch and a few more Korean products.=)

My CLIO SET Haul and some extras! =)

I have a problem, an issue yet to be resolved. It's an addiction that started from nowhere and a habit very difficult to get rid of. Hello everyone, I'm Limay, and I'm a BOX HOARDER! (nyak...haha)

This is not a Haul...but a should have been haul post. ha ha All the pictures shown below are boxes of my existing and all done beauty products and tools.

NOTE: I accumulated these products/boxes for a year or two so don't judge me of overspending in a week or a month's time. Also, most of the products from these boxes are still in use, some were given away while others emptied and thrown in trash...or kept? (cute packaging probably)



 Why? Just because...

The story is, I was cleaning up my room the other day 'coz storage is an issue for me right now. We keep buying stuff without throwing much so it's become crowded in our bedroom. While doing so, I saw all these packages occupying  majority of my daughter's closet. I started to remember why I kept them all this time and I just wanna share them all to you especially to those who have the same attachment as I have with my boxes before I finally say goodbye to these babies and put them into trash. 

I have an issue...Are you like me, a BOX HOARDER?

Tuesday, June 17, 2014


Using the products
Skinfood is one of the most pioneering , if not, the very first Korean brand to enter the country,(Philippines). Do correct me if I'm wrong, I know there's The Face Shop as well.
Having said that, Skinfood is also the very first Korean brand that I have ever tried. My first BB cream was their Aloe one and my first whole skincare line that cost my mom almost 11k-shing-k-shing, I forgot which fruit or vegetable that line was from..lol

I have a love-hate relationship with their products but I end up still buying them cause they smell so yummy and the packing is a killer cutie!

Right now I have three (3) items from their latest line called "Queen's baking". It's the first that Iv'e heard of it so it must be new, right?! (probably not the latest though..) I got the Vita Contour Pact, Vita Contour Finish/Blush Pact and the Choco Smokey Dual brow stick in #2.

I'm shutting up now and let the pictures do the talking. WARNING: These photos talk a lot. You might get bored...or not. hehe Three products, sure there will be tons of photos that's why I've decided to make it into another TRILOGY-ish..hehe





First Impression/ Review: SKINFOOD-Queen's Baking Line! Vita Contouring Pact

   Last April 11-13 of this year was the HEAT WAVE SUMMER BAZAAR held at the World trade Center which opened from 11:00am - 9:00pm. Me and my hubby were early birds on the third day of the bazaar and I must say I didn't expect it to be so empty. Not that people did not attend it but the booths were fewer than what I imagined but then again maybe it's because everyone's focused on PACMAN's fight or simply cause it's the last day of the event. I don't really mind for I only have one goal in mind and that is to visit Chedelyn Cosmetics booth. I was over budget and almost broke when I left it's place, still my hubby and I looked around and purchased some more.

Seems like this is my very first HAUL post for the year 2014 and for the first time I purchased mostly western brand makeup..yeah, that is very new for me!

With no further adieu, ladies and gents..my HAUL!

This is everything I got from the bazaar and more...

At last, the long wait is over. We are down to the third and final part of "My Hairvolution" for 2013. Sorry it took me a while to post this..No Excuses. (but actually I lost almost all my photos with me and my burgundy hair..how? My laptop crashed and haven't had it fixed just yet...me and my poor time management)

Remember my orange hair?
My orange head...and long hair.
Orange, no more. I got my hair a darker shade of BURGUNDY using my recent favorite hair bubble color, MISE 'EN SCENE.

I know it took me a while to write the second part and I'm not going to make any excuses for it, let's just say I got a bit distracted by my laziness. haha  Moving on...

The product I used was MISE EN SCENE Hello Bubble, a Korean brand hair bubble dye to which I fell in love with AGAD-AGAD! If you've followed or at least read a bit of my blog then you would know I usually make late posts and this is not an exception (not proud though). I first tried this product a few months back, t'was late June.

I used 8O (Apricot Orange)
It's only too bad I didn't get to take photos while dying my hair with this. The reason was, to be honest, I wasn't expecting much from another Korean brand bubble hair dye since I've been let down several times. From Etude House to Skinfood to Richenna and then Mise En Scene came to the picture; it turned my impression on bubble hair dye 360 degrees.

MY HAIRVOLUTION (Part 2): Orange Head!

Tuesday, November 5, 2013

I get bored easily with the things I do, foods I eat and how I look so I try to change them up every once in a while. My hair had the most transformation of them all..

I've decided to make a blog post of how my hair went from blonde to orange and now to red wine burgundy..also from uber long to now cutsie mid length layered do.

Along with the evolution of my hair are the products I used to color and care for my locks..also a very short review of them.

It started, my obsession of hair transformation, early this year of 2013. My hair was long and I really can't remember well what color I used back the end of 2012 but I'm pretty sure I used SKINFOOD Hair Bubble. See pictures below. 

Sorry for the off shot. t'was night time when I took this picture.

Last January or February, I really can't remember, I decided to dye my hair again. I saw this brand Richenna at SM department store and I got the color light blonde. I made a mini haul post of this item, check it here http://iamaphilocalist.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html

My HAIRVOLUTION!

Saturday, September 14, 2013

       To be honest, this is my first encounter with this brand, the  3 CONCEPT EYES COSMETICS brand. With the name itself I got intrigued..(is it some worshiper or something--and the logo...) T'was a friend who introduced me the brand and now I must thank her for doing so.

       First of, I got the 3CE CREAM BLUSHER in baby peach. Let me be specific on my thoughts on this product. (though this is just a first impression)

      PACKAGING---I love it!! Simple but catchy. I'ts a sturdy and a bit glossed black carton with a hot pink interior. You can see and know right away the shade of the product 'coz it's already exhibited on the upper portion of the box as seen on the picture below.





First Impression: Something New and Vivid---3CE Cream Blusher

Saturday, June 22, 2013

MIA, I know I made a promise to write at least 3 posts every month but unfortunately i couldn't keep them. I tried writing/ posting via mobile but the photos won't show. ( techie stuff really not my thing..)

I've been busy with a lot of things as well, personal, work & business-related, kid's progression/ tantrums, let's not cast laziness aside...LOL..I can't photograph the items well, my lighting's always off and the night time is my only free time so..all of these and more but I really don't need to burden any of you about it...

During these months that I wasn't able to write anything, my impulses decided to keep buying things till it's satisfied...yeah, like that's gonna happen. lol I lost track of how many items, when and how I purchased them but I managed to take photos of my recent wastage's.. I mean LOVES! =)

Here are just some of them..as usual they are mostly Korean products.. 
Note: Pardon the low quality and poor backgrounds of the photos... ( as if  I've always taken good shots of them..!?? lol ) 



OVERLOAD: HAULIN'..just HAULIN'

Thursday, February 7, 2013

I know I should be writing reviews now..I'm really sorry for my few readers who have been waiting to hear about the products I have posted...

I'm trying to complete everything I need (so far), beauty wise, that's why I keep haulin' the whole month of January...

This was my last for the previous month...(not really) =P

OK, this time it's about hair stuff..

HAUL: just a few...WATSONS/ SM DEPT. STORE purchases

For 2013,  I'll be doing my very first product review and it's about my recent pack...I went LOCO for this CHOCO!...


I know, skincare-choco? It's the fad nowadays. Well, i'm talking about ZAMIAN GOLD CACAO PACK...

Below is the description of the said product...(copy/ paste)...for a more factual approach...

ZAMIAN GOLD CACAO PACK 


150ml







PRODUCT REVIEW: Choco Face! ZAMIAN GOLD CACAO PACK

Sunday, February 3, 2013


I've been quite busy these past few days minding business and balancing family life and other engagements..

'Nuf said, I just got this and i wanna use it right away. I'm still in the search for that perfect pen eyeliner but i think i can stop now..
Skin 79 Kick It Side Monster Liner
This eyeliner is not just a monster,its crazy black. The blackest pen liner so far! It resembles the vividness of my fave gel liner, Lioele gel eyeliner. Its more convenient to use and easy to carry around.



THE POSITIVE POINTS: 
It delivers the blackest black out of the other pen liners i have with just a stroke. I don't need to double coat unless i wanna create a thicker line. Again, its easy to use,similar to your regular pen, but with a softer tip. Lastly, i would say its affordable with the price of 400 pesos and the quality of a gel liner.


And now...

THE NEGATIVE POINTS: 
It may be easy to use but very hard to control. How so? Its too "fluidy". Once it touch your skin, the ink spreads in an instant, leaving you a crooked line somehow. You need to fix it by layering a coat or two. The black ink sinks into the lines in your skin and its very visible so you cant leave it be. It dries but not as fast as I was hoping it would.

I can't tell how much product you get with this pen..I just started using this and I'm love it so far! hehe


 So there's my first impression of the Skin 79's Monster Liner.

Any comment is highly appreciated. If you have tried the same item but have a different experience, i would love to hear it.
Enjoy and keep smiling! =)

FIRST IMPRESSION: Skin 79's Kick it Side Monster Liner

Monday, January 21, 2013

I have drafted a lot of product reviews; drafted cause I keep receiving items to review! haha When I have something new, I can't help but get excited over it and start writing reviews that I can't even finish on time. =( Another reason for my draftin' is my constant haulin'..haha (feeling crazy today =))

Early this morning I went to LBC (courier) to pick up my package...I have this excitement comparable to that of a child who's about to open her present on her birthday! haha

With just a minute, my super smile turned into a frown..I was told I don't have any parcel..An hour or two passed, doorbell rang and there's the most wonderful delivery guy(at that very moment) carrying my box! haha

I hope I'm not forgetting anything else..hehe Why so many? Most of these are orders of Lioele lovers as well..Yup, I'm an official dealer but that wouldn't make me biased when doing reviews on Lioele products..that's a PROMISE!

HAUL: ALL KOREAN: My biggest so far..=)

Tuesday, January 15, 2013


 A few days ago, when I was processing some papers from NSO, or should I say while waiting for my papers to be processed, I went around looking for a nice character casing for my Galaxy note II . Unfortunately there aren't much to choose from so I just got this yellow green almost plain rubber case...



I was a little dissatisfied with my purchase and so this idea kicked in.."why not stick some decos on my phone case instead!?" And that's exactly what I did...

My hubby said he saw some stickers at   Cd-r-king. We went right away and there were so much to choose from..
These are just some that i purchased...








What's great about it is that it's very cheap. Price ranges from 10 to 30Php. Talking about good finds...=)

I thought I needed a cute "plugee" and got myself one..


It's Php99..still ok i guess. I don't know how to describe it. It's jeweled up half Mickey/Eiffel Tower kind'a design..hahaha crazy huh?! Still cute though..=)

Since I'm already there, I also bought some stuff for my desktop pc..my tenda adapter is not working efficiently anymore and needed replacement so i got this...Php290


And for extra storage I got Imation portable hard drive...Php2,880



So there goes my purchases...BTW, I'm already using my couple stickers for my purple casing...


Cutest right? The best part of it is you can replace the decos anytime without leaving the surface too sticky. 
It glues back on pretty well if you want to stick it somewhere else.

Hope you find this post interesting. Comments and feedbacks are very much welcome. If you have any idea where to find any piggy design or casing for my phone please do tell..thanks!

            ENJOY AND KEEP SMILING!
