Christmas Outfit / Attire : Glitz and Glam

Hi Guys!! I am back! I am very very sorry for mia for almost 2 months. I had my laptop repaired and I was a little too busy with a lot of events lately (but my laptop is still under repair, hope you can bear with me). Well anyway I am back! I am regaining my strength and am now very happy and eager to blog again. I have a lot of back logs to share with you all.

Today is Christmas day and I want to share with you what I wore during our annual Christmas Party at work. The theme for this year was Glitz and Glam and was held at Diamond Hotel. Shumishine bright like a diamond ang peg! 

With the sound of it! I knew that it should be sparkly! And I thought that many ladies no matter the color, style or length mostly would surely wear a dress. So for me, this year I wanted to wear something different and something that I can still use! Sparkly outfits / dress that looks outstanding are expensive and I feel that I will not be able to use it anymore.

So on the search for my outfit, I have thought that I wanted to get a sparkly shorts in black! And this was easy to find though during my searching there was not a lot of sparkly outfits yet (our party is always earlier than the others). 

This sparkly shorts is super comfortable, I felt like I was wearing my house shorts!!! I find the length a little short but I didn't notice that until the party! haha

First on the list check! But what to pair??? Oh gosh I felt that it's gonna be hard!!! Then suddenly I saw a sparkly blazer I grabbed it and tried it on! But I was sad that it was only available in xs. It fits me but it was a little hard for me to raise my hands and arms. I was thinking if I will get it as it was on sale (and when I mean sale it was more than 70% off). Oh my it was really really hard for me to choose. So I went out of the store and tried to look for other options so the evil in me placed the blazer at the back of the rack cause I know I will be back for it. And true enough, there's no other sparkly outfit that will match perfectly my sparky shorts than this sparkly blazer!

I love this blazer as it looks very classy! It's on gold and white color which gives me a more mature look but not super mature..... Sophisticated! :)

Lastly, I bought a shimmery inner spag top to complement my whole look. With two very sparkly outfits, it's better to tone it down with a shimmer inner top. I didn't want to look like a disco ball or better yet a Christmas Tree. By the way, I was able to dance the night away with this blazer! haha

And that's my final look! :)

And yes! I was able to use my shimmery pointed shoes again which matched very well with my whole look. And of course, re-used my blingy bag but now used it as a clutch. :) I was glad that I was able to blend them all together even if they are all sparkly and shimmery.

But wait! The shimmer or sparkly look is not yet done! Wait till you closely see my hair! :) haha

I knew that I wanted to be back at Blo and wanted to try an updo look for this event. During events I mostly wear my hair down. So for a change, I wanted to try an up do and just in time I saw this sparkly hair stickers at Landmark and bought them. I was still not 100% sure if I will be able to use them. But when I showed it to the hair dresser, she was very supportive to place them on my hair. Thank You ate!

Finally to cap of my Glitz and Glam look! I wore a classy and clean look of make up and just added some shimmer on my eyes. It's not super strong but more of cute and clean classy look. You may notice that I also placed a tiny diamond bead like to cap of my mu. It's more on the eyes for this look.

Closer look, one bead on each eye. Sorry for a not so clear photo of my mu :(

 Lastly, I wore minimal accessories. Just diamond like stud earrings and my classic necklace.

 I got my diamond like stud earrings from H and M. Look at how cool is this collection that I got plus it's very affordable! I am now prepared for different events. I am super loving this!

Simple Girly Look

Saturday hang out with my girls! I wanted to wear something simple but still fashyon and it turned out to this simple girly look. :)

The truth is..... I was going to commute going to somewhere early that day so I made sure to tone down my look. Like anyone of you, every time I commute I didn't want to attract much attention so I want to look simple. But simple doesn't mean boring.

I always love wearing jean. A good pair of jeans is a must in everyone's closet. A pair of jeans with a simple tee is the way to go!

But hey! A simple tee may be made better with details. Look how cute my top is. :) It's not your ordinary top. It has this sheer lacey details that looks girly and sexy too (a little lowback pa siya haha). I love these kind of tops! It's simple yet very versatile and comfortable.

I wore minimal accessories too, just a watch and this cute single bracelet and colored bag to give my look some more color and fun. 

Tip: Use an overnight / everyday bag so you are sure that you have all the things you need while doing errands. But bring a small bag and put it inside your big bag so that you're ready to go on that night out or get together with your girls. :)

Lastly, to finish my look. I wore another very comfortable flats so it will be easy for me to move around. I am really more of a flats person.

I love these footwear! It's not your ordinary flats. It gives my look more fashyon and not flat and simple.

I hope you can relate to my posts. :) I am just like you.

Mitusyado Sei-Men

Finally! After several times of attempting to try Mitsuyado Sei-Men it's only now that I have tried it. By attempt I mean planned visit to Mitsuyado Sei-Men that didn't push through due to change of plans. I have heard good reviews and news about it. And since it's just near our place, I know that I definitely should try it.

We arrived I think quarter before 1 and there's still line waiting to be sited. But since it's past the usual lunch time already we got our sits pretty fast.

Upon entering Mitsuyado Sei-Men.... I was impressed with the interiors and was looking around checking out their very nice displays.

TV screen at the waiting area.

Look at the cute small details of the interiors. Look how they are very much into details! I felt that I am in a different place and was about to have a great Japanese experience. 

Counter / Cashier

 I have heard about their Cheese Ramen so for sure we got it. But then we also wanted to try a different variant so we decided to get some Aji-Tama Tsukemen (if I am not mistaken, the one with soft boiled egg) plus the ever famous gyoza.

While waiting for our order, we were handed with our bib plus some hot tea and oh boy I love their hot tea. It taste good and not your ordinary tea. It's a great Japanese tea.

bib

Ready to eat :)

By the way, their bib is made with good material. It looks strong and not just plain paper only.

I like their gyoza as it is crispy on the outside but juicy on the inside. It taste good but not over the top good but I like that it has a juice inside. It's like a xiao long bao but not super similar. You just have to try it to get what I mean. :)

Condiments, we used some of these for the Gyoza

 Now let's move on to the Tsukemen.

Hard Boiled Tsukemen. 

How to eat Mitsuyado Sei-Men Tsukemen:

1. Get some Noodles

2. Dip it to the sauce / soup

3. Eat it :)

I tried the soup and it's a little oily but very tasty. I can't really explain the taste. It has its distinct taste, a mixture of sour, salty and beef. It's really for dipping the noodles.

I super like the soft boiled egg. They made it the right way.... soft, tasty and still whole. I like it.

Now let's talk about the Cheese Ramen! The one that people are talking about.

Cheese Tsukemen. 

How to eat Mitsuyado Sei-Men Tsukemen:

1. Pour the cheese into the noodles and mix well

2. Get some Noodles

2. Dip it to the sauce / soup

3. Eat it :)

Upon dipping the noodles with cheese into the sauce / soup it tastes creamy. The cheese is not that salty but tasty. I actually like it. It taste cheesy and creamy in a right way. I ate half of both Tsukemen so I didn't feel umay. But my family all felt umay and it was hard for them to finish one serving though they were still able to finish it. :)

I liked my experience with Mitsuyado Sei-Men. I liked the taste of the Cheese Ramen though it's not that super duper over the top. I appreciate and like their interior plus their staff are very accommodating and attentive to the needs of their customers. Big Bravo for that!

Here's some more interiors of Mitsuyado Sei-Men.

How's your Mitsuyado Sei-Men experience?

What to do with almost empty lipstick?

What to do with a near empty lipstick? It's almost an empty tube but it still has few products left. I am a person who finish a product until the last drop unless it irritates my skin or I loss it. Same goes for my lipstick, I finish it until the last pigment! But how to do it as it will be very hard and harsh to apply the lipstick on to our precious lips if our lipstick is as short at the tube already???

Simple! The magic trick for this is to use Lip Brush. It seems so complicated problem but the answer is so simple. Right? No more wasting of your favorite lipstick! 

I have 2 lip brushes in my make up brush set from Megaga. I got the set from Shopsui. To know more of Shopsui product do check out their webiste.

Although yes, I am guitly of not using my lip brushes most of the time. It's really advisable to use lip brushes everytime you apply lipstick as it makes the lipstick more define on the lips. Lipsticks are applied better with lip brushes plus evens out the amount of product on the lips. Lipstick will be blended well and I just find that it sets better on the lips.

These lip brushes are tiny and very soft in material as it glides smoothly on the lips. 

And yes, I did a swatch for this post.

Look how defing the color of the lips on my hand. It looks smooth and not messy at all. So I now realize that I should observe using lip brushes more often ( I hope to do these talaga! I will try hehe)

The Face Shop Rice Water Lip and Eye Remover

My first post for make up remover! After going to events, always make sure to remove all traces of make up even when you are super duper sleepy! And here's my first post for my make up remover as I already finished my previous make up remover.

Here's The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Lip and Eye Remover. Though it indicates Lip and Eye Remover, I still use it for my whole face.

What's different with this is that it has Rice Water, Morning Oil and Soapwort that removes makeup but remains the skin hydrated. It is a ‘Emulsion in Toner’ formula, it is separated into 2 layers with milk-colored emulsion on top and clear water base on bottom part.

Look it is also sealed like any other makeup products. It is very important for me that makeup products are always sealed.

It has just the right opening for me to get the right amount of product that I need.

Since it has rice water it actually is whitish when applied on the cotton.

What I liked about the product:

• It smells so good! This I have not yet experienced with other make up removers
• It does not feel as oily as the other brands due to the rice water attribute
• It feels gentle on the skin
• No irritation on my skin and eyes
• And it removes make up pretty good

Will I repurchase this product again?

Yes! As long as it is available in the market, this is a great make up remover.

Disclaimer: I bought the product on my own.
