VICE COSMETICS Phenomenal Lip Kit Review + Swatches

Vice Cosmetics is making waves in the beauty industry. I decided to buy some to test if they are really worth the money or if everything is just based on hype.

VICE COSMETICS PHENOMENAL LIP KIT by VICE GANDA

I have the typical Morena Filipina skin tone hence nude and neutral lip colors suit me best. I like that Vice came out with shades that are perfect for Pinays.

MY SHADES : Benjamin | Pony | Showtime | Star

PRICE : Each Vice Cosmetics Lip Kit costs Php 295 each


Please watch my YouTube video for the FULL review and swatches!

WHERE TO GET IT : I'm not sure about other malls but I got mine from Farmer's Plaza in Cubao, 2nd level.

I also blogged my Vice Cosmetics shopping experience. Please watch the video!

Here are the swatches of the Vice Cosmetics Phenomenal Lip Kit 

BENJAMIN | PONY | SHOWTIME | STAR

And here's how they look when applied on the lips :

STAR

WHAT DO I THINK?

GOOD :

• Beautiful nude and neutral shades | Perfect for us Pinays
• Lip cream smells like chocolate
• Suuuper lightweight | I was impressed
• Doesn't dry quick therefore you can still correct mistakes
• The sponge applicator is easy to use
• Comes in clear tube so you see the product inside
• Comes with a lip liner in the same shade as lippie
• Affordable at Php 295

BAD :

• It is DRYING. 
• After a while, it chaps on the lips
• Doesn't stay | Not long-wearing compared to it's promise
• THE LIP LINER IS SOFT AND IT BREAKS

This is my HONEST and UNBIASED review of the popular Vice Cosmetics Phenomenal Lip Kit. The lippies I have weren't sponsored, not sent for free nor was I paid to do the review. :)

What do you think of the Vice Cosmetics Liquid Lipstick? Love it or Dislike it? Let me know in the comments! :)

EXO KOKOBOP (Music Video) REACTION

EXO is one of the biggest groups in K-pop. If you don't know them, WHY?

They recently released a new album THE WAR. One of the tracks in the said album is Kokobop. I honestly haven't fangirled in a long time so I thought of doing a reaction video to capture my raw and authentic reaction on the video.

WATCH THE VIDEO to see my reaction :

How do you fangirl, though? I have seen almost every time of K-pop fangirl and I could safely say I am the "closet type" of fan. Not because I feel ashamed or anything but because I just tend to squeal on the inside rather than to burst my emotions on the outside. Hence, my reserved reactions in the video. 

If you are new to this page, you may be interested to read more about my other real-life encounters with EXO here in the Philippines!

1.) Dream K-pop Fantasy Concert 1 - read here
2.) K-pop Republic Concert - read here
3.) EXO EXO'luXion Concert - read here
4.) EXO EXO'rDium Concert - read  here

There are lots of K-pop groups now but EXO will always and forever be one of my favorites. I hope they still make it even after 5 or 10 years from now. I have so much adoration towards the group and towards the members. It would give me joy to still see them soar despite the numerous groups sprouting and older generation groups disbanding or falling apart...

I hope you enjoyed my video.

A Visit at the Far Eastern University | My Beloved Alma Mater

No matter how far we go, we always want to go back where we began. It feels good to reminisce the good old days, don't you agree? That's why I feel ecstatic whenever I visit FEU. It feels like coming back home after a long journey. 

I recently visited FEU to have a talk and share bits of my knowledge to 4th year Management Students. Like I've said before, never have I imagined I would someday be giving talks and speech to students because I was so shy to speak in front, least recite, when I was still studying. There's just something about standing and talking while the whole class sits and stares at you, right? It's nerve-wracking. But for some reason, I got older and became passionate about speaking to people and sharing what I know. I truly enjoy doing this now and I hope I could visit more schools and universities in the future.

My task that day was to share some of what I know about makeup for the corporate world. Since the students are graduating and would be applying for jobs soon. I taught them about personality development and how they could use makeup to enhance and elevate their game in the corporate world. 

The night before that, I prepared my short (yet super colorful) AV presentation. 

The event was held at the FEU Technology Building and it was attended by 4th year FEU Management students, headed by the Management Society. 

I am thankful for the trust and opportunity they gave me. Thank you so much, FEU Management Students!

And huge SHOUTOUT to everyone I saw on the campus that day. Thank you for saying hi to me and for taking selfies with me. It's truly means so much to me each time I see in real life the people who watch my videos.

I was supposed to film another FEU vlog for my viewers on YouTube but the weather didn't permit me to do so as it started raining right after my talk. I stayed at AB grounds because I just missed my "tambay sa AB ground" days. 

I also witnessed how honest FEU students are. I saw this phone laying on the bench, untouched. Apparently, it was left by someone (who later turned out to be a vlogger on vine, too) Anyway, I hope the honestly on the campus continues. Good job, my baby Tamaraws!

By the way, here's what I wore that day! A simple pink and white ensemble. Toned colors and cut yet still me - pink and girly. Hehe

Would you rather be : *HATED for who you are (or) *LOVED for who you are not? #OOTD *Glass heels - @amiclubwear *Leather Skirt - @cndirect_com *Pink Backpack - @SammydressFashion *Gold Watch - Timex *Off-shoulder Top - Cubao Tiangge #FEU #Tamaraws #ArtsBuilding #LoveHate #MassComm #MassCommunication #G7X #Pink

I offer it pro-bono because it's the only way I feel like I could give back to the community. Plus, I truly enjoy speaking in front and sharing my knowledge!

Spicy Korean Noodle Challenge - 불닭볶음면 먹방 (Fail or Pass?)

Spicy Korean Noodle Challenge is one of the most popular challenges on the internet. The noodle is called Buldak Bokkeum Myeon (불닭볶음면), it is a brand of ramen from South Korea that launched in 2012. It became famous due to the Fire Noodle Challenge videos people make. 

I have been meaning to do the challenge but kept on delaying it because I know I won't be able to do it. Until one day, I decided to just do it! 

WHERE TO GET IT :

I got mine from a Korean Mart in Cubao, near Farmer's Market and MRT Cubao. But this noodle is always available at other Korean marts, too. There lots of those in Ortigas, Makati, Fairview, etc. 

Each pack costs Php 60.

Here is the video. I hope you find it funny how I spoke 2 languages in the video. I thought it would be more natural to speak in Filipino during those moments when I felt like my tongue was on fire. 

If you ate taking this challenge, I suggest you take a photo first before eating. I doubt you'd be able to smile and pose once you feel the spiciness! 

I also suggest you prepare milk, ice cream and/or frozen yogurt. Chilies contain a substance that makes taste buds sting. These heat-detecting sends messages straight to the brain causing you to feel the heat! Milk, however, contains casein, a fat-loving compound that binds with spicy contents and then washes it away. 
So, that's how the milk helps revive you. Water is not advisable as is just spreads the heat around your mouth making it even worse. 

Wad I able to finish overcome the challenge? The answer is NO. Well, I almost made it but I had to spit the last bite because I was really feeling nauseous then. But it was a fun challenge! I'm sure it would have been double-fun if I did it with some friends or with my BF.

Try this if you dare! But don't tell me I didn't warn you. IT IS SPICY!

DIVISORIA HAUL : Party Needs, Clothes & Shoes (plus DIVI Shopping Tips!)

I guess by now, I can safely say that my #DIVIHAUL will be a mainstay series on my channel. Divisoria is a huge place and there are vast of items available that's why I am pretty sure I will never run out of things to feature. Plus, things and trends always keep evolving so there will always be something new to find. 

For this episode, I will show you party stuff, clothes and shoes! Of course, all from Divisoria! 

One of the things I was amazed to see on my recent visit was this set of rose brush. I always see brush sets like this on IG accounts of foreign makeup junkies that I follow. I knew one day, it would come to Divisoria! That day finally arrived!

I found this at Gladking store inside the old 999 Mall, it is located on the first floor. They sell this for Php 800. For something that's probably mass-manufactured and not perfectly crafted, I thought it was expensive for the price tag. I also thought the different colors of the bristles made the design tacky. The next time I find a better looking set with a much more appealing price tag, I shall definitely get a set!

If you are looking for inexpensive and artsy PARTY NEEDS and DECORS, CLOTHES, TECH ITEMS, SHOES and SLIPPERS, then this episode of my #DIVIHAUL is definitely for you!

This haul is bigger than my other #DiviHauls because I went with my parents. Each of us bought our own items hence the larger-than-usual haul. I thought viewers would want to see things aside from the usual makeup tools and clothes that you see around. 

Which among the items I featured did you like the most? As for me, I am so happy with the party stuff I got because it was what I went to Divi for. I can't wait until I tell you guys what those are for. I might do a VLOG on it so be sure you are SUBSCRIBED to my YouTube channel (link here) to get updates on my new videos!
