Our Kimy Playstix Creation and a Contest

I take so much pleasure in my son's traditional playtime. I'm doubly ecstatic if these are educational toys. Haha. So when we came across Kimy Playstix Activity Zone "Build Your Own Adventure" run at the at Virramall in Greenhills, we're up for the challenge.

For a purchase of Nestle Kimy Ice Cream, we got in! He likes Kimy Krazy Banana.

What to do? These are Kimy Playstix. A Playstix replaces the traditional ice cream stick.  There's an illustrated guide that allows you to pattern your creations.  Hmmm...

Woohoo! Mission Accomplished! 

Truthfully, I'm always unsure of my creative side. Hah. Since hubby's not with us, it took a while for us to decide what to do. For a moment, I wanted to walk out. Or just build the usual...chair! Haha. 

It's an airplane! Woohoo! #Finally

We used about 40 Playstix to create it. 

We left it  at the activity zone. So it's picture all I want to document this major feat. 

We'll be building our collection of Kimy Playstix in no time. You might be interested to join the K-Zone and Nestle Kimy contest (click here for more details). Prizes that are up for grabs are Samsung Galaxy Tab, Toy Kingdom Gift Cheques, and more. Game on! Cheers! ^_^

Are you a Supermom? ;-D

Good Housekeeping is celebrating its 15th anniversary and its Mother's Day issue comes with a special supplement—the Nido Supermom.

This special magazine has Sharon Cuneta-Pangilinan on cover, together with other supermoms—prima ballerina Lisa Macuja-Elizalde, musician Barbie Almalbis-Honasan, animal welfare advocate Tanya Guerrero-Becker, and pastry chef Pixie Sevilla-Santos. These supermoms share how they have been pursuing their personal passions while putting their families as top priority. But beyond their stories, the Nido Supermom magazine is packed with meaty topics tackling spending time with children, parenting and learning styles, budget management, and more.

Regine Velasquez graces the cover of Good Housekeeping May issue featuring.

Am I a Supermom? I choose to believe so!

To my fellow awesome Supermoms, let's make our May me-time count, please grab a copy of the Good Housekeeping issue...Now na! ^_^

What's even more amazing is that there's an opportunity to receive a special treat as you enjoy reading the supplement's pages of NIDO Supermom.

Oh wait...there's more, I will be back with my copies to tell on that special treat, plus I will be bringing in more surprises. #Giveaway!!! Cheers! ^_^

Review and Swatches: Innisfree Mineral Melting Foundation with Swirls

Annyeong! ^_^ I'm finally back with a Lee Min Ho Seoul-ful post. I reckon I have to do it before I finish it off.

How much do I love this Innisfree Melting Foundation? So much, it shows...almost done! ^_^

Innisfree Mineral Melting Foundation with SPF 32 PA++. Got it last December  at Innisfree Insadong.

It has pink swirls. I have the Innisfree Melting Mineral Foundation Season 2. The difference is the swirls. It looks more like the latest  Innisfree Melting Mineral Foundation Season 3 except that one comes with a Glow description, while this one comes a swirly picture. But just the same, the season 2 comes in white, while similar with the Season 3 Glow, this comes in a peachy compact. 

This comes with the same white/blue puff that is absolutely the next best thing after a BeautyBlender.  Read more about it on my Innisfree Melting Foundation Season 1 post.

This time around, I'm actually shade W2 (warm skin tones) as per the Innisfree lady.

Product Description: This melting foundation, formulated with Jeju natural mineral powder, offers comfort to your skin even after makeup and with its abundant moisture form 100% prescribed Jeju organic green tea water in lieu of distilled water moisturizes your skin as it gently adheres to it, presenting a natural coverage, and transparent complexion. 

For perspective....Before and After swatches in different lighting of our house. Warm White (Top) and Cool Daylight (Bottom).  To me, it's just beige than pinkish (but of course...compare to Shade C2). Please note though, that these swatches are just taken recently when most of the pink swirls are already blended kinda well. But that's the idea anyhow. 

Before. On me after (2nd and 3rd). I'm having some breakouts, so if you zoom it in, you'll see some redness here and there, but generally, except for some discolorations (okay...age spots), I'm fairly alright! But of course, all thanks to my Innisfree-laden Skin Care routine! ^_^ Coverage is light to medium coverage. 

FOTD. Set with Benefit Cosmetics Hello Flawless "Me Vain?" Champagne Powder. Hard Candy Hide and Glow Cheek Duo Cheek Tint in Pillow Talk. EOS Lip Balm. 

First off, no breakouts. Shade is fitting - love! Doesn't cake, blends beautifully, and finishes well even on some dry areas (I use Beautyblender ^_^). This "melts" more, and if you want to build coverage to medium, you tend to use more. Finish is light, smooth, flawless even, dewy - love! But would still prefer to set it. Overall, I love it very much, it saddens me that I'm almost out of it. Aww...absolutely must go to Seoul soon! ^_^ Pretty please Innisfree, come here, and please bring @ActorLeeMinHo along! Cheers! Saranghaeyo! ^_^
