The Sweetest Christmas Tree Lighting in Makati

     
     Whenever there's a Christmas tree lighting event. We always think about white and green Christmas trees with big blue balls and yellow Christmas lights. Didn't I imagine I’ll be able to see a giant pink Christmas tree with ginger bread, candy canes, cotton candies and other sweet treats that will give you a sugar rush feeling just by looking at it.

         
              


     Located at the heart of Makati. Century City Mall went nontraditional and took the route to a Sweet Christmas.  Inspired by Santa's biggest fans, they bring kids and kids at heart to a Christmas Sugarland. This year, the mall makes this holiday season more colorful and sweet.  From the entrance and hallways up to the al fresco area of the mall, pink Christmas decors reminiscent of those special candy treats for children deck the halls and serve as a feast for the eyes of shoppers and guests.   



                           


Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony

        It's definitely a Lit last November 16 when the mall officially marks the beginning of Christmas season as it lights up its giant Pink Christmas Tree located at the 5th floor al fresco area.  It was attended by former beauty queens like Karen Agustin, Mafae Belasco, Marina Benipayo, Sara Jane Paez, Patty Betita, PMAP Fashion Luminaries, Desiree Verdadero, Suyene Chi, Lou Bunyi Pareja, Gionna Cabrera and Christi McGarry.

FAIR AND HONEST REVIEW: SHYN WHITENING SET

       I'm a fan of whitening products since 2007. I tried almost everything from soap to lotion to whitening capsules and injectables. When I stop injecting glutathione last March of 2016, I said to myself that I have to find a cheaper alternative to improve my skin complexion. After more than a year of searching, I found my new holy grail in whitening. 









      ShyN International Beauty Products offers a range of highly-effective skincare products that will make your everyday beauty routine more simplified for your busy schedule. They have this "3 easy steps to truly glowing skin." 
1. RADIATING SOAP (135g) - it deeply cleans pores for smoother and fresher skin
2. RADIATING TONER (60ml) - it nourishes and hydrates skin and prevents moisture loss.
3. RADIATING NIGHT CREAM AND SUNBLOCK (10g) - it promotes moisture retention and protects your face from the harmful sun rays and environmental  pollution. 

And the most awaited part of every product review is its PROS AND CONS. 
PRO'S 
If your budget is tight and you can't afford an expensive dermatological treatments, this whitening set is what you need in your life. The price is Php 850.00. You save more if you buy it in SET. 

I saw my face glowing after 3 days. But you have to use all the products to make it work. 

When given a chance to meet the owner of ShyN, I asked her why their products are fragrance free. She told me that the ingredients are very concentrated and has no fragrance chemicals. So if you have perfume intolerance, this product is meant for you. 

Its sunblock has SPF 50 and you can use it as makeup base as well. A friend of mine told me that she doesn't need to use makeup foundation after applying sunblock. Before, she needs to apply foundation on her face. Now, she's just using a face powder. 



The soap lasts long. We all know that other kojic soaps easily melt in the shower but this soap is different. It may have the same color like other kojic soap brands but this one doesn't easily melt. It can compete with ordinary soaps for longevity. 

Recommended for all skin types. But I'll recommend it more to people who have pimples and dark spots.

CONS 

I find the toner too strong for my skin. Since I don't have pimples, I guess it suits more for people who have pimps issue. I don't use it regularly. I'm using it also on my elbows and knees. 

The content of sunblock and night cream are just 10g each. Sunblock is very important to me so I use this everyday. I think it only lasts for 3 weeks. 

You can't buy this products at drug stores. You have to visit their website www.shynwhite.com or their FACEBOOK page to order. 


After  more than a month of using SHYN. 

Comment down below your questions and I'll be happy  to answer it.
Thanks for reading! :)

HOLY GRAIL ALERT: MAKE UP FOR EVER EXCESSIVE LASH MASCARA

Want to splurge into a mascara that won't clump, flake or even smudge? I recommend Make Up For Ever Excessive Lash Arresting Volume Mascara. I bough mine at Makeupstoriesph on Instagram. It was a steal for me because she sold it for a low price since I got the 0.08 oz. When the parcel arrived, to my surprise I also got a lip mask and a sticker with my name on it as freebies. 




 The reseller told me that she bought it on Sephora USA website. The price for its full size (0.15 oz) is $25. You guys are now thinking that it's pretty expensive because you'll pay $25. In Philippine peso it's 1255.80 for a 15 oz. mascara. But I won't mind splurging if this mascara wouldn't end up smudging under my eyes by midday.



According to it's product info, this mascara can give your lashes an alluring volume and bold definition with its exclusive, small brush. Don't underestimate its small brush like what I did the first time I saw it. It's like a magic wand that can award you with a dramatic volume of lashes. It's because the brush was designed with hard and soft fibers that work together to create definition and great volume. Mascaras with larger brush can be messy if you're careless or in a hurry. I admit it. I'm such a mess everytime I apply my mascara. Small brush like this makes my mascara application easy as pie. Another star for this brand.



While applying it, I can see that it's easy to glide and unlike other mascaras that I used, my lashes remained separated and defined. It doesn't smudge even though I'm sweating under the sun. It dries up easily as well. What I love about it is it doesn't smell awful and my eyes don't feel irritated. I don't know if my eyes are just sensitive since I'm wearing contact lenses or it's just the formulas of other brands are too strong that gave my eyes an itchy burny feeling. The downside of this product is it can't do too much curling and lifting. You have to use an eyelash curler if you have straight lashes like mine. All in all it was good. I can give 4.5 out of 5 stars. Am I going to repurchase this again though it's quite a bit expensive? Definitely!
