REVIEW: Blushing Beauty Lick My Lips Color-Changing Lip Balm

I first got this color-changing lip balm after winning the SkinStation raffle during the Blogapalooza event last May 21.

This was perfect timing since I run out of lip balm during that time and was only using a petroleum jelly under my lippy (haha!). My lips tend to become chappy that I cannot wear matte lipsticks without a lip balm or something to moisten it.

After getting this product, I was so eager to try this on and it has been two months now since I started using it. So, I think it's about time to make a review.

Blushing Beauty Lick my Lips

PRODUCT CLAIMS:

A revolutionary clear lip balm that changes into shining, shimmering pink color as it touches the lips. LIKE MAGIC!

- Keeps lips soft and smooth instantly
- Moisturizes to prevent chapped lips
- Blends with any lipstick color
- Comes in strawberry flavor

SRP: Php 200

Blushing Beauty Lick my Lips

The packaging of this lip balm is really cute and handy. You can easily slip it in your purse.

Blushing Beauty Lick my Lips

The content is clear and has a light scent of strawberry. 

Blushing Beauty Lick my Lips

After applying, the color magically changed into shimmering pink!

Blushing Beauty Lick my Lips

Here's how it looks when applied on my lips:


VERDICT:

 - I love how it can leave my lips softer and moisturize in no time
- It blends well with any lipstick
- The price is a bit higher compared to other lip balms but I guess it's reasonable since it's so "matipid"
- Applying it is a bit messy since you need to use your fingers.

WILL RECOMMEND?

Definitely!

Buffalo Wild Wings at Estancia Mall

July 17, 2016 - I and my college friends decided to meet for some chitchat and bonding time. Our dear friend Weng of Travel Eat Pinas was generous enough to pick us up. She usually does this to bring us together (advantage of having a friend with a car).

Buffalo Wild Wings

We headed to Pasig to look for a place and we had a hard time deciding on where to spend the evening. After a few swivels around, we ended up in Buffalo Wild Wings at Estancia Mall.

The place wasn't crowded during that time, I guess because it was a Sunday night. Most of the customers were Americans which is not surprising since the store originated from the U.S.

Buffalo Wild Wings

The place is spacious, it looks fun and lively.

Buffalo Wild Wings

The yellow theme makes it look vibrant!

Buffalo Wild Wings

You can also see different TV screens around where you can watch live sports while munching food.

Buffalo Wild Wings

For the menu, they served chicken wings, shareable sandwiches, burgers, and other pica-pica.

Here's what I ordered:

Buffalo Wild Wings
Blackened Chicken Sandwich, Php 395 

Honestly, I didn't know that it was spicy. I guess the term "black" refers to pepper (first-timer, haha!). Nevertheless, i managed to eat it. Also, the fries on the side is too salty for my taste buds. 

Here are what my friends ordered:

Buffalo Wild Wings
Cheeseburger Slammers, Php 475

Buffalo Wild Wings
Half Time Chicken, Php 395

Buffalo Wild Wings
Pepper Jack Steak Wrap, Php 495


Overall, the serving is good here, although the price is a bit steeper. My friends' favorite was the half time chicken. I wasn't able to taste it myself since I was so full. We were also not able to try their pride in handspun wings (too bad!).

While we were in the middle of devouring our food, the Manager approached us and asked how's the food and the service so far. She also asked if there's anything we need. For me, this is a plus point, it only shows how they value customer service and experience.

If you are a sports enthusiast, this is a good place for you and your friends. However, if you are among us who just want endless talks, it isn't a good place. Sometimes the monitors and the sound are distracting, I wonder how noisy this place can get when it's packed. 

Buffalo Wild Wings

On a different note, our main purpose is not really to try new food (it just so happened!) but to have a good conversation, and you can have a good conversation regardless of where you are, what food you eat. I'm happy to see these ladies and misses the rest.

SkinStation Grand Opening at Venice Grand Canal Mall


SkinStation opened its newest branch in Venice Grand Canal Mall last July 16, 2016, at the Venice Grand Canal Mall, Upper McKinley Hill, Taguig. I am privileged to be invited once again after the successful Grand Opening of Blushing Beauty in SM Mall of Asia. Presently, there are 31 branches of SkinStation in the Philippines.

SkinStation is a skin care company that utilizes science to give customers the best value in skin and body solutions. The latest in cutting-edge technology are available at SkinStation were customers get to enjoy the latest in skin care innovations through treatment procedures, from slimming to anti-aging, whitening and firming, to their highly popular diode laser hair removal treatment, all at affordable prices and with guaranteed results.

I came in late since I cannot leave my kids without hubby. Unfortunately, I missed the blessings, ribbon cutting and the candy/coin shower (sigh). Thankfully, Ms. Abi Garcia, the very bubbly and energetic PR still greeted me with a smile (phew!).

Here are a few photos that I grabbed from their Facebook Page.




Surprise special guest, 2016 Miss Universe Philippines Maxine Medina, and SkinStation brand ambassadors, Asia's Next Top Model Cycle 4 Julian Flores, GMA7 Talent/ Actress Ms. Lindsay de Vera, 2015 Teen Earth Philippines Aya Fernandez, 2015 Binibining Pilipinas 1st Runner-Up Hannah Sison, and Thomasian Youth Ambassadress 2013 Ferica Medina were all present during the event.



Formerly known as Godiva Skin Station, the popular clinic chain has undergone rebranding to SkinStation under a new corporate ownership, My Sanctuary Wellness Center, Inc. Following the sale of their Godiva skin care business in 2010, founders Fred and Carleen Reyes have formed My Sanctuary Wellness Center, Inc. to run and manage the new and upgraded SkinStation.

Aside from state-of-the-art equipment, SkinStation offers DERMAX, An exclusive professional skin care product line. DERMAX is formulated by SkinStation founder and CEO Fred Reyes, an award-winning chemist and recipient of the 2008 Achievement Award conferred by the Philippine Federation of Chemistry Societies, and 2011 Outstanding Professional Award in Chemistry from the Professional Regulations Commission.



“As a professional line, DERMAX uses only the best, the latest and the safest ingredients at clinical strength, definitely at par with the world’s best skin care products. Before, we had cost limitations to contend with when formulating mass-market products. Now, with DERMAX, we have no such cost constraints as our only aim is to delight our customers,” declares Fred Reyes.


I got the chance to roam around and take a peek of the inside. The overall design of SkinStation branches is tasteful and minimalist to promote relaxation, soothe the senses and calm the mind. I love that big painting on the wall!


It has individual treatment rooms for utmost privacy, courteous and friendly front desk personnel receive clients at the reception area. Doctors are available for consultation and doctor’s services. Aestheticians are well-trained and have years of experience in providing the best service every client deserves.


As I've mentioned, this is the 31st branch and they will open more soon to address the growing skin care needs of urban sophisticates all over the country. So beauties, watch out!
