Beauty Loot: Fanny Serrano Lipstick in Tweedia

When I read an announcement in the newspaper that SM is having a 3 day sale, I see to it that I drop by the make up counters a few days before the sale and make a reservation of the products that I want (read: Kanebo). By doing so, I save myself some time to scout good buys from other brands. After all, I only have 2 hours (10am to 12nn) to avail of the additional 10% discount. 

Fanny Serrano Lipstick in Tweedia PhP195

This Fanny Serrano lipstick is one of those good buys. I was able to move around, take a closer look and try on the testers because I have enough time before the cut off time ends.

I only paid PhP150.05 after discount for this moisturizing lipstick. I described it as moisturizing because it glides easily on my lips even without putting Carmex on first.

Better Pizza at Papa John's Pizza Tomas Morato

My visit: July 30, 2011

Papa John's Pizza

Tomas Morato cor. Scout Rallos St.,

Laging Handa, Quezon City

The day before we left for our trip to Hong Kong, we had an early dinner at the newly opened Papa John's Pizza in Quezon City. The place is still filled with balloons from the store opening and is bustling with diners when we entered the restaurant. A server was able to find us a spot by the window. Perusing the menu, I found different flavors of pizzas, pastas and other side items. 

Hawaiian Jr. Papa 6" pizza PhP150

DH hates me because I am always predictable when I eat. I almost always order the same thing when it comes to pizza. Even though my stomach and pineapple don't seem to see eye to eye, when it comes to pizza, I love ordering Hawaiian. This 6" pizza has 4 slices with toppings like ham, pineapple and loads of mozzarella cheese. Served hot and truly satisfying! No acid reflux after.

Available in 9 inch small PhP300, 12 inch medium PhP430 and 14 inch large PhP530.

I was impressed when I used it for the first time. I actually applied more than what was necessary and I ended up like a Korean movie star... no kidding! Like no pores and all. Super pore less if there is a word hahaha

Hi! 

Someone informed me that some unscrupulous online sellers are using my photos to scam other people. Please be warned that I don't sell online stuff especially branded bags. These bags for my own personal collection. 

If you have found any of my photos online kindly inform me through my Facebook fan page. 

Thanks

Alright, guys, girls and gays! I have made my very first purchase of a Louis Vuitton bag. This is a very exciting entry. I hope you are as enthusiastic as me as I write down my experience shopping for my very first LV. You might want to check out how to spot a fake Louis Vuitton here.

Here is a little trivia... I started my blog in 2008 with a post about Louis Vuitton Eva Clutch. Now, three years later I still have not bought an Eva Clutch. BUT I got an LV Monogram Canvas Tivoli GM (M40144) instead. For me, it is a better choice. Thanks to the keen eye of DH who spotted the bag straight out of the show room.

You all know I went to Hong Kong. I have been there several times but it was only in our recent trip that the itinerary was purely shopping! Yes, you read that right... S-H-O-P-P-I-N-G ; p
