The Bunny [Ad]ventures

Hiya! It’s been such a long time since I’ve posted on here. So so much has happened in the time since I last spoke to you, and I’ve actually been through some changes with my blogs too. I’ve been doing some end of year cleaning and I thought I would come here and redirect you to my new blog: kkintsugii.wordpress.com 😊 I have appreciated your support throughout the years and would love it if you…

Hi everyone! I know I’ve been quite this November, but a lot’s been happening (and is still happening) and I’ve been all over the place too. I’ll drop a post soon, but I wanted to stop by to share something with you guys.

I’ve been thinking about this for a while now, but only very recently decided to take a risk and move to a different site. Starting in December, we will be moving to a new site…

Throwback to the past with BLK’s 90s collection (Go Local)

I’m not sure why, but my hype radar has been insanely sensitive when it comes to local releases recently. First it was the Sunnies Face with their Fluffmatte Lipsticks, and now BLK has released their Back to the 90s collection. When I saw that it came out, I had just recently placed my October order off BeautyMNL (if you want to see what I picked up and my thoughts, check it out here), so I was a…

First of all I gotta say, the packaging is beautiful! You can see that they thought the packaging through very well, and I don’t mean just the appearance. The construction of the things, from the messenger pouch, the boxes, the tubes themselves, beyond being eye-catching, are all really well made too.

The mailer is baby pink, with the logo in the center in mauve–simple and elegant (this is pretty much the aesthetic of the whole brand and I love it). The boxes match the colors of the lipsticks, and has a simple line drawing and the Sunnies Face logo on opposite sides. The cardboard is pretty sturdy (and I might even end up displaying some of them 😆). The tubes are heavy and feels good in the hand. They’re off white with the logo stamped on the top and the name of the shade on a sticker at the bottom.

What I picked up from the site was a bundle that included all nine shades and a PVC pouch. The pouch that I got was the cherry red one, and I was pleasantly surprised when I got it. I thought it was going to be stiff with a hard zipper, but what I got was pretty much the exact opposite. The pouch itself is soft and sturdy, and the zipper is one of the smoothest ones I’ve used in a while. Easily, this went straight into my everyday bag, and now holds beauty stuff.

Now, to the lipsticks themselves. One of the things that got me excited about this launch in the first place was seeing the photos of the lipsticks with their soft and powdery finish. I was not disappointed when I got them. They’re super smooth and pigmented and opaque with one swipe, and they’re super comfortable on the lips. I was worried that, because it’s closer to a matte finish, it was gonna dry my lips out, but it didn’t! I managed to wear it the whole day (with some touch ups) without my lips flaking.

The shade range is nice too, with 9 different colors of different undertones. And although the lighter ones aren’t really my type, none of the lipsticks looked too bad against my skin. I really do think that all of these colors will look good on most, if not all, skin tones.

I really like this line, which is a huge relief because I spent a lot of money for these. They’re PHP 345.00 a pop, which is a bit pricey, but considering its amazing quality is definitely worth it. The hype for the Sunnies Face Fluffmattes was pretty intense, to say the least, but their lipsticks live up to it for sure. I’m excited to see what else this brand comes out with!

’til next time,

A cool concept with good execution: DC Heroes Cafe

It’s been a while since I posted about a restaurant I’ve visited, so I thought we should change that. The other night we went to a restaurant that amused me so much too, so that’s pretty much perfect timing. Today, I present to you, dear reader, the DC Heroes Cafe in SM Megamall.

I heard about this place a few weeks ago, I think around the time it opened, and I’ve been curious about it. We’ve…

Alriiiiight. Another month, another list round-up (if you wanna check out the list, click here). My goodness, this month was all over the place. I’ll tell you now, I failed my challenge. I’m disappointed, for sure, but this month also had amazing moments so it’s not all bad. 😊

Family Reunion: This was a pretty light and happy evening. It was nice seeing not only our balikbayans, but everyone who…

Their first release will be their Fluffmatte lipsticks: formulated in Italy and available in 9 beautiful shades that I think would look stunning on pretty much everybody. The shades are as follows: Nudist, Vacay, Baked, Milkshake, Girl Crush, 143, Mood, Hot Sauce, and Major

I’ve had their website open since I saw the reveal on Instagram. 😆 I can’t wait to get my hands on them and try them out. 😍 So yeah, just a quick break from regular programming just because I’m so incredibly excited. 😂 Back to it now (I’ll be back after I try these babies out). 😄

’til next time,

🐰❤

August notes: the list.

It’s really weird how slow time can pass by so slowly in the moment, but also really quickly in the grand scheme of things. Just like that, another month is over and we’re in August. I’m back to share with you 3 things that I’m looking forward to this month. 😊

Family Reunion: One of my titas is visiting home from California this month, and in line with this, there’s gonna be a dinner reunion on…

July notes: the outcome.

Alright, we’re done with another month. Holy cannoli, it’s really weird how time moves both really quickly and really slowly. It’s time to take a look at what I was looking forward to in July, and to give updates on what went on in the month. Funny side note, I didn’t include my birthday as something I was looking forward to. Wala lang, I just thought it was weird in hindsight. Anyhoo, let’s get…

Go Local: Detail Makeover.

Hey! I’m back taking a look at another local makeup brand to further explore proudly Filipino products. This month, I’m taking a look at Detail Makeover–a brand named for their belief that “it’s the little details that make us who we are”and encouraging the embrace of flaws and the emphasis of assets. This brand is fascinating because their products are generally on the more affordable side of…

Hey! It’s my birthday month and I thought it would be nice to try something I’ve never done before. Many people post videos of x things they learned at x age, and I thought I’d do something similar. On my twenty-fourth birthday, I want to share with you 23 lessons & milestones that has marked my 23rd year on this earth.

You’re not a bad person if you want to do something for yourself every once…

July notes: the list.

Hey! We’re headed into another month, and are now officially in the second half of 2018. Holy shitake 😲 Anyway, June was only partially successful for me in terms of fulfilling my goals. I decided that I’m going to add those to this month (if you want to check what those are, go right ahead and click here). I think it’s fine since those particular ones are good to keep up anyway. On top of that…

June notes: the outcome.

At the beginning of the month, I put out a post enumerating three things that I wanted to get done, or at least start, this June (you can read it here). Now at the end of it, here I am to share how it went.

Work out: this has been a long time resolution/goal for me that I’ve never really gotten to accomplish. This time around, I have a friend with me to push me so hopefully with his help I’ll be…

Go Local: Ellana Cosmetics.

Continuing on with my search for local makeup, I decided to try Ellana Cosmetics. They’ve been in the market for a long time, I think, are cruelty-free, and have a range that consists mostly of mineral products. Just a note though: their products are up there in terms of price.

I purchased four products from Ellana: their luxe blur makeup primer (PHP 799.00), their loose mineral concealer &…

June notes: the list.

There’s this Youtuber that I love, Marzia, and she does this video on her channel where she notes down three things she wants to do at by the end of the month, and throughout the month and the end she would give an update of what she was able to do. I think this is a great idea because it gives you the opportunity to challenge yourself through a monthly set of goals. And although I don’t yet have…

Wow. I can’t believe we’re nearly halfway done with 2018, time flies by really fast, doesn’t it? I know I’ve been pretty MIA these past two months, a lot has been happening, and I’m trying to get back to a good balance where I’m able to live and work and write at the same time. For now though, I thought I’d fill you in, even just a bit, on what’s been going on. 😊

Update 1: I’ve been. . .…

Hey! I was supposed to post the next installment of my #GoLocal series, but I haven’t quite finished it yet so it should come tomorrow instead. In the meantime though, I wanted to ask you a question: How do you deal with exhaustion? I’m not talking about man-I-worked-out-so-hard kind of tired or wow-that-was-a-long-day kind of tired. I’m talking about being in a constant state of tired from the…
