Let's Do Some MAGIC!

How many of us girls have wished for a long wearing lip color? Lipstick has always been my staple makeup which is why I am in constant search for the best lipstick in the market in terms of the longevity of color without drying my lips. I thought I had the best, until I tried this Filipino brand lipstick that literally does magic!
For comparison I took a self-portrait with no lip product on

and I will show you another self-portrait after using this magic lipstick that I just discovered.
See the difference? Instant pop of color brightens my entire face, right? 

Okay this is the secret to that bright burst of pink on my lips, EVER BILENA MAGIC LIPSTICK WITH VIT E. 
This product is AMAZING!
It gives wonderful effect even if the bright orange cream scared me a lot. It is also VERY AFFORDABLE, 75P and nothing can beat its staying power. Well, none so far from the products that I own. I am not joking. THIS LIPSTICK WILL LAST EVEN THE ENTIRE DAY! 
Let's do the SWIPE test. I tried to remove the lipstick with wet tissue and this what happened.

A product transfer occurred but there is still enough left on my lips! AMAZING! 
I also tried removing it using a makeup remover...
and

Another stained sheet but notice my lips... it is still bursting with color, right? REALLY?
REALLY! I tried removing it again using the wet tissue and I think the lipstick just reached its bleeding limit therefore we can't see any lip imprint this time. JUST AMAZING!

Okay, let's test this magic lipstick with other brands that I love.
EB Magic Lipstick VS. Etude House Proof 10, The Body Shop Lip Tink and Revlon Just bitten Tint
Here are the swatches of the mentioned brands. I tried removing them with wet wipes but the staying power of these products are just beyond awesome that's why you can still see the swatches even after wiping it. However, after I used a makeup remover

-
Tada! I can't remove the swatch of the magic lipstick even if I rubbed the hell out of it. 

Let's try another lipstick
EB Magic Lipstick VS Etude House Miss Tangerine Follow Me Tint 
The same result
AMAZING!

Okay, let's try the magic lipstick versus my favorite long wearing Revlon Colorstay
This is CRAZY! Ever Bilena beats Revlon! 
Now I am very proud that I AM A FILIPINO!!!!
Buy, test it and let me know if it does the same magic to your lips!
PS This lipstick comes in four variants (orange, apple, lemon and bubble gum) and I will sure buy the other three. :)

Thus The Confused Taste Bud

Have you seen how the handsome Lee Yoon Sung (City Hunter) eat a bowl of kimchi? Very enticing, right? I wonder how he does that... because my experience with this kind of food is not very much.... hhmmm...ok. I got curious and  asked my boyfriend to bring me to a Korean Restaurant. Curiosity must be fed or else it will grow insatiable therefore he yielded to my request and spent dinner with me at a KIM CHI restaurant along Bajada Street, Davao City. Okay, so here is my quick story of how the night went...
Went inside... picked a comfty chair and noticed that everyone is using chopsticks. What la? I can't use that kind of device... never tried so far. I don't want to play "catch me if you can" with my food therefore I displayed this (pa)cute face and asked the waitress if they have spoon and fork. Glad they do or I might quickly run and get a cab for McDonald. So I ordered this and that.. and that. Forgot the name of the food... wait I will research it for you.

So I ordered
KIM CHI CHIGE P200
SQUID BULGOGI DUPBAP P230
KIM BAP 150
The price is quite low therefore I am HAPPY.
¢‿¢ 
I waited for about 15 minutes and the waitress went back bringing what I requested. 
... a fork and... SPOOOOONNN. Why so big la? I could fit two among Ali Baba's forty thieves in here. Whatever I can't complain endlessly, can I? Oh they also gave me chop(rods)... it is never too late to practice, right? That made me excited...
Tada! Another 20 minutes and here comes my order... Why so many la? I ordered only three dishes. Uh-huh I am not paying for these.. too many uh uh. I went hysterical only to discover that plate 1-6 are for free (side dishes). Cool right? I am EXTRA HAPPY!
¢¢‿¢¢
You order one dish and you get six free side dishes. McDonald should be threatened!
Plate 7 is Kimbap
8 KimChi Chige
9 Squid Bulgogi Dupbap
Before I started trying a piece from every single plate I went on with my usual cam whore behavior. I felt like I need to document every single bite and make this post lengthy and appear that I put a lot of effort. Or am I appearing to be one already? :) 
Oh my! Can't believe that I am such a fast learner! No single sweat at all! 
However, I am getting so hungry and chop(rods) are such a waste of time. Good thing their humongous spoon fits my mouth well but don't be deceived by the look... after I tasted the food I never tried another bite anymore. Not very kind-tasting at all. 
All the dishes are either
1. TOO SPICY
or
2. TOO SWEET
My taste buds got confused and I just cannot describe the taste of the food well. Just imagine eating a chili powder with  three cups of sugar mixed with your favorite noodle. Ugh! Don't like it! Or maybe I am exaggerating? I wonder why some of the people I know love these kind of foods. I honestly don't like it! 
To conclude my story, all of the plates except plate number two, which I think is a scrambled egg, went to my "to go bag". They were slightly touched hence they all were semi-virgin and I intend to give them away to some street kids.  I paid 580 Php and I just can't waste foods, right? Somebody must be hungry and I can be a good Samaritan. 
BUT
What is happening to the world???
Can't find any street children anymore.
Jesus is this for real? Seriously, there were no street kids begging for palimos that night along Bajada street. And if you are from Davao, you will agree with me if I say that this is a big miracle! Amen to that!  

ah people! You can't find them when you need them...
I might as well look for..
HATERS??? 
Haha! Think I must end this post with some "kimchi related" sentence, agree? 
I HATE KIMCHI!
There you go...
PS
I LOVE MY KOREAN BF THOUGH AND I THINK HE IS SMASHING CUTE.
AND I ALSO LOVE http://tinkyloveslife.blogspot.com/ EVEN IS SHE THINKS THAT KIMCHI IS SUCH A PIECE OF HEAVEN. haha! :)
