Planner Review: Mommy 2015 Blogberry by Stradmore

Hi everyone!

I am here again but on a different note, I just wanted to share my personal experience with this amazing planner - Mommy 2015 blogberry by Stradmore.

I remember this December of 2014, I wanted a planner that can fit on my mommy personality and it was a challenge for me since most of the planners are catered to single professionals.  I checked out National Bookstore and there it was! A planner for mommy like me who enjoyed writing highlights of my life but at the same time writing my personal goals for that year.

This is the first time I really purchase a planner since I have previous experiences that I just enjoyed it for the first few months and then poof - gone.

At the first glance, it was perfect for me to keep since the content was so colorful that you don't have to bother to make it more alive or be more creative since most of the time busy being a mother right?

There are pages that I thought I can fill in but fail :( 

School Tracker - I just noticed that the schedule is only good for 3 kids, in my case I have 4 kids! And they only give 1 set, I think it will be better is good for 2 school year (the current one and the upcoming!)

Health Guide and Menstrual Tracker

Kids Medical Tracker - we already have separate booklet for this
Just posted my favorite make up list I wanted to check out!
Also posted the books I wanted to read, but this is one of the goals I failed this year :( :(

I love the the month at a glance, the space is right for me to just right the highlights per day.

I also liked the weekly pages, writing the details events and favorite thing done.

My personal comment that on the weekly pages, the left side there are labels - my family, breakfast, lunch and dinner.  I hope it was blank for me to write more or do it on a different stuff.  There are months I wrote down the clothes I was wearing, then I changed it space for writing more highlights of the day specially on the -BER months.  Good news! I finished it until the very end!!! Yahoooo!!!! For the first time, right??

There are also information that is very helpful! 

Overall review, I truly enjoyed using this planner and it was not a mistake buying this one. There are of course I wish they added but hey! If they wanted me to join a survey or FGD to make their planner more attractive I am open since it was an exciting ride for me.  On the scale from 1 to 10, 10 as the highest.  I will rate this planner 8.

This is highly recommended to mothers like me and you will never go wrong.

Thank you for reading.

Until next time! :)

XOXO

December Beauty Favorites

Hi Everyone!

I want to share with you guys my beauty favorites since it never changes that on a monthly basis and I am still on my Project Hit Pan so yeah!  

Lets start!

1.  Maybelline Clear Smooth All In One Refill Powder in Nude Beige (Php149)

I have a funny story with this, I left my make up bag in the office and I can't show up without make up! So I passed by a drugstore to buy powder and lip balm that is why I got this.

2. Shawill Make Up Blusher in Pink Chic 

I have this matte pink blush.  There are times I wanted a flat color on my face, if I just want color on my face.

3.  San San Blush On in 03

I have another blush color for the days I want to glow.  I really would like it with the Shawill blush together!

4.  Ecotools Blush Brush

Having those beautiful blushes I think I need a good brush to spread on my face.  This brush is small and fits fine on my make up bag.

5. Maybelline Baby Lips Pink in Mixed Berry 

One of the products I can't leave without.  I feel off without any balm on my lips before putting color.

6.  Maybelline Color Show in Nude Mocha

This is the one color I enjoyed using everyday at the office.  It is not pink or red red, it is like a good color on my lips looking natural (That is what I think).  

7.  LA Cross Eye Curler

I want to have a very good eye make up on a natural way.  That is why I have this curler to make my eyes bigger and alive!

8.  Ever Bilena Color Pencil in Brown

Here's the eye pencil I love using on my eyebrows.  I am trying to be more consistent to do my brows.  It is more good looking having my brows fixed.

9.  Nichido Eye Pencil in Black Brown

I like this as my under eyeliner, making sure that my eyes is more alive from my point of view.  Having a simple look for me having a great eye make up.  I wanted not too dark or too light and I believe this shade is perfect.

10.  Maybelline Eyestudio Crayon Brow in Black

This one is for my upper eyeliner, I wanted to accentuate my eyes but I wanted it natural looking as possible.

These is it!  I still loving using them and at the same time excited to use my new items as well.

I hope you had fun reading as I had fun doing this blog.

Thank you for the time reading and until next time.

XOXO

Beauty Hauls (April to December 2015)

Hi Everybody!

Missing for several months now as usual it has been very busy and I don't haul that much so I decided to do it collectively so that I can share it with you big time.

Here it is my collective hauls:

Let us first start with the face products.

1.  Maybelline White Super Fresh Powder Foundation in Nude Beige (Php249)

Need to buy powder as back up in case I ran out! You know me I want to try out new product in the market and I already tried and tested Maybelline powders - I super loving it and can't get over it.  Right now I'm using another Maybelline Powder and I will share it with you in my favorites.  I am planning to buy more powder since Maybelline is still on discounted price until end of December and if I were you go to your nearest store and stock up! :)

2.  Ever Bilena Face Powder Refill with Vitamin E in Natural (Php75)

Yes, another powder because I heard and watched Pinay Beauty Gurus raving that this powder is good coverage and I want to try it for myself too.  I'm not sure of the shade but hoping this is a good shade for me.  Let me know if you want a separate review on this.

3.  Covergirl TruBlend Liquid Foundation in Medium Light (Php645)

Bought a new liquid foundation, I heard that this foundation has a yellow hint perfect for Asian skin and I decided to try this one out.

4.  Essence All About Matt Fixing Compact Powder (Php200)

Yes, jumping in the band wagon.  Everyone wants to try this powder and bought it on sale for only Php200.  The original price is Php269.

5.  Covergirl Clean and Sensitive Skin Liquid Foundation in Soft Honey

Sorry, I can't share with the price since I got this for free! I bought before Covergirl products worth Php1,000++ (I just can't remember the exact amount) and will get this for free.  I got this shade for my daughter since her skin is fair.

Up next is blushes.

6.  ELF Studio Blush in Tickled Pink (Php249.75)

7.  Covergirl Instant Cheekbones in Purely Plum (Php425)

I wanted to buy a blush palette and a natural flush in my cheeks.  I tried this one and I wanted the glow.  I am really excited to use this but I am still trying to finish up 3 blushes in my bag, yes 3 blushes (I know right?).

Turning now to my eye products.

8.  ELF Studio 32 Piece Eyeshadow Palette 

This one is pasalubong of my great brother.  All colors are natural/nude shades.  There are few matte shades but mostly shimmer and a few glitter.  Color pigmentation is not that great you can work around by adding water.

18.  Maybelline Color Show in Sweet Orchid (Php166)

Another surprise color for me, going to try out this shade and I just got this in the grocery! I am so guilty buying lots of these but hey I'm just human, make up is my weakness.

So loving this purchase!!! Matte is my thing for my lips too.  I can't wait for the sale, I wanted this and one more color after this posting.

Here's one more purchase I did that I think on my splurge mode of mine.  I like the shade on my lips.

23.  BYS Auto Lip Lining Pencil in Natural (Php219)

I just wanted to try again another lip liner that can give a neutral color on my lips and put another wonderful color on my lips.

Wow! I got 23 items on hand and didn't notice it after this blog!!  Whew, I will try to slow down in purchasing again and will focus on the reviews.  What do you think?

Let me know if you want something for me to review and give my opinion.
