I couldnt resist! I had to get them and try them out :-) especially since priceline was having a Buy 1 Get 1 Free off on all the Revlon Lip Products.

These Just Bitten Lip stains have jus recently been released here in Australia. They sell for $17.95 each and because it was buy 1 get 1 free jus means these come out to be $9 each :-) which is cheap!!! So i choose 6 of the ones i know i would wear more often and maybe if the sale is still on i will check out the other ones.

i love how they have the cool minty sensation on them just like the Tarte Lip Surgence ones. They are very hydrating on the lips. They are very pigmented also. Compared to the Tarte Lip Surgence the Just Bitten Kissable has more of a glossy finish. They stain the lips more and have more colour payoff compared to the Tarte Lip Surgence. You may need to reapply after eating or drinking as they may tend to crease or fade a little. I cant compare these to the Chubby sticks because i dont own any just yet. The Lip Surgence are $24 each and they don't even sell here in Australia. I recommend you guys to try these out :-) For $9 .. you cant go wrong..

Etude House Haul #2 - From Korea

My Sister and Mum got back from Korea last week. 

And this is what they bought back for me. 

I told my little sister she had a budget of $100 for Cosmetics from Etude House.

I gave her a list of things to buy but to check the prices and get only whatever that could fit in the budget. 

But I think she was to excited to fly off she didnt understand what I was saying. 

So she messaged me saying that she bought my list! As in my Whole list! and now my bill has racked up to $170. 

I guess its not so bad since makeup over where i live is so expensive. 

My sister ended up getting me 22 Items + some free samples and a Small travel makeup bag.  Rounding it off these costed me about $7-$8 each. They Sell this in the City! Prices from $15-$40 each! So i guess its deffinately some huge savings :) All this to add to my previous Etude House Haul which i got from Etude Store in Manila.  

What I Got : - 

3 x Lovely Cooking Blusher

2 x Dear Blooming Cheek ( Blush and Highlighter ) 

2 x Dear My Crystal Gloss

1 x Dear My Blooming Lips ( Lipstick ) 

4 x Lash Firm 3 Step Volume Cara ( Mascara which came with a free remover) 

1 x Perfect Brow Kit

1 x Oh My Eye Line ( Liquid Eyeliner ) 

1 x Nymph Aura Volumer Mist 

1 x Aloha V-Line Slim

1 x My Wish Cheek 

1 x Lucid Darling over the rain blusher

1 x BB Magic Balm with SPF30 which came with a Brush applicator

2 x Lip Balms (Which ended up being the same colour) 

1 x Colour my brows ( Eyebrow Mascara in Brown )   

I still need to try these products out. I haven't had a chance to use them yet. I've mostly use the Eyebrow Mascara. I love it! And the lipglosses - I love how the applicator is bended on the bottom makes it easier to guide on the lips = ) 

I shall post swatches once i get the time to use them and maybe some reviews.

Piccolo Roma - Olympic Park..

So yesterday before heading to the shops to get my nails and eyebrows done and do some shoppping! We Decided to have Dinner @ Piccolo Roma...

We didn't order much cause The Mr wasn't that hungry and as for me... i could only eat vegetables and chicken.

So we just Ordered Antipasto Platter For 2 ($18.90) for Entrée (I asked to have only all marinated Vegetables cause i couldn't eat the Salami and Prosciutto )

I use to hate eating this... But now I always crave for Antipasto Platter!  So yummy..I can't get enough of it = ) 

And For the Mains.. We Both just ordered the same.

Mainly cause he was still @ work and i was waiting for him and the lady was taking my order and i didn't know what he wanted.

So we both ordered Chicken Milano ($19.90) which was on their Special Menu's.

Pan Fried Chicken rested on Roasted Vegetables with creamy pesto sauce.

Pls excuse the overload of pepper on top..  As i am addicted to Pepper = )

This was Yummy!

The chicken was soft and not dry. The Roasted Pumpkin was so Caramelized .. along with the crunchy potato and capsicum. ..All Covered with Creamy Pesto Sauce.

It was a pretty big serving it had 2 Layers of Chicken ...and i was already full from the Antipasto Platter... 

So we couldn't finish it and we just had the rest for take away...

My Special Sisig = ) - I Use to Love Sisig = But since my little business started it has been a popular dish. I got sick of cooking it and tasting it each time .. 

I don't eat sisig anymore.. well not the one i make... Maybe if its from Phils or someone else cooked it. I would eat it! 

==

I Remember the first time i tried this when i went back to phils when i was about 11 or 12 Years Old! @ Cowboy Grill. Great Night one i wont forget.

There was about 20 of us Cousins and my older cousins were trying to sneak us into Hard Rock Cafe... I was Tall for my Age and Imagine they thought i was over 18 and let me in - No Questions Asked. No ID Checks!. Just Straight in! My Sister was 19 @ the time .. They wouldn't let her in.. and same with my other cousins. They even had props such as cigarettes and stuff to make them look older.. But it didn't work... So it meant Change Location For us.... We ended up @ Cowboy Grill.... I remember there was a band playing @ the time .. I envied his hair. It was so long and silky. Just like in the Shampoo Commercials on TV For like Sunsilk/Creamsilk...!

I remember they only allowed me to Drink Cali ( Its has no alcohol or little alcohol..and pineapple flavor) .. but there i was sneaking Beer From the Kegs... and the pulutan was SISIG!!! yummmy!
