🏔️Machu Picchu, meaning “Old Mountain” in Quechua, is a 15th-century Incan citadel located in the Andes Mountains of Peru.

🌍This archaeological marvel remained hidden from the outside world until its rediscovery by American historian Hiram Bingham in 1911.

🔍The precision of Incan engineering is evident in Machu Picchu's construction, featuring perfectly carved stones that fit together without mortar.

❓Despite extensive research, the exact purpose of Machu Picchu remains a mystery, with theories ranging from a royal estate to a spiritual retreat.

🏛️ Machu Picchu was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983, recognizing its cultural and historical significance.

🌄The site offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and the Urubamba River valley, creating a truly awe-inspiring experience.

⭐ Many structures in Machu Picchu align with astronomical events, showcasing the advanced knowledge of the Inca civilization in astronomy and architecture.

🦙Llamas are native to the Andes and are often seen roaming freely around Machu Picchu, adding to the site's unique charm.

🌎 Machu Picchu attracts millions of visitors from around the world annually, making it one of the most visited archaeological sites in South America.

🛡️Ongoing efforts are in place to preserve Machu Picchu, ensuring that future generations can continue to marvel at its beauty and historical significance.

As I was searching for a dress to wear in my closet, I saw this old dress of mine. I haven’t worn this in a while because it’s kinda big for me. Therefore, I decided to turn this dress into 2 tops so I have something new to wear.

🌸 1ST TOP

Step 1: Measure and then simply cut the dress where you want the 2 pieces to divide.

Step 2: Fold twice the lower hem of the first top and then sew with a straight line.

Step 3: To make it fit, measure and sew both sides of the top.

🌸 2ND TOP

Step 1: Fold twice the top hem of the 2nd top and then sew with a straight line.

Step 2: Do the same process on the lower hem of the top.

Step 3: Get an elastic band or garter then

join the end point of the elastic and the top.

Step 4: Stretch the elastic then stitch to make that shirred effect.

And there you have it. We just made 2 tops with 1 old dress. I hope you guys like this thrift flip for today’s post.

Koko looked really cool from the outside but I ended up not liking the food I ordered. Oh well. The thing with trying new things is that sometimes you end up not liking them — which is not bad. At least, now you know.

Dior’s Backstage Rosy Glow in Rose is one of those under the radar yet iconic makeup products. It has been in Dior’s line for years💯

Dior’s Backstage Rosy Glow blush is one that definitely lived up to its expectations. I was hoping this would be a soft, rosy blush with a good dose of a healthy glowy effect💖✨

Also, You can built the colour from a slight rosy look for the days you want to achieve the no-makeup makeup to full on pink cheeks!😉

What I like the most about it, is that it transforms after a while. It reacts with the moisture and the temperature of the skin and gives a customized rosy effect.

Its texture is thin and soft with a satin finish. It feels silky in between the fingers and it’s not powdery at all✨

I bought this for ₱2,800 pesos! Quite pricey so you might want to think first before splurging into these kind of makeup😩

✅Overall Thoughts:

-It applies beautifully and evenly on the skin and stays there for at least 8 hours

-It is opaque and you can built it from as natural to as heavy you want to.

-I will definitely continue to buy it as it’s one of the best blushes I’ve ever tried in my life.

Sadly, this is always sold-out, if you are on the edge to buy it then definitely go for it and you can thank me later!🫶🏻🥰

You might often hear or see the words “active ingredients” or some of you might already be familiar with it. But what really are these active ingredients?

As their name suggests, active ingredients are those that are designed to target specific skincare skin concerns. They are used to deliver different benefits and given that these are “actives,” active ingredients can be beneficial to your skin, or the other way around. Generally, they are formulated to deliver solutions to our skin problems. Here are some common actives in skincare products and their functions:

🔸 Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) – AHA focuses on brightening, exfoliation, and acne prevention. This ingredient is commonly added in anti-aging products – those that target hyperpigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots. Since this has an exfoliating feature, it is not recommended to use it on a daily basis and it is important to note that one side effect of AHA is sun sensitivity so higher SPF is necessary if you are applying or using AHA on the skin.

🔸Hyaluronic Acid – One of the focuses of this ingredient is hydration. It has the capacity to regulate the skin’s moisture level and retain water capacity, keeping the skin hydrated and balanced. Hyaluronic acid also has anti-aging capabilities by reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and works in improving skin resiliency.

🔸Vitamin C – This ingredient is an antioxidant that helps keep the skin looking bright and youthful. Vitamin C protects the skin from harmful free radicals – reducing visible signs of aging including dark spots from sun damage, wrinkles, and fine lines. This ingredient also aids in lessening discoloration. It also boosts the production of both collagen and elastin, keeping the skin plump and firm.

🔸Retinol – Similar to Vitamin C, retinol minimizes visible signs of aging. It minimizes the appearance caused by free radicals and improves uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation. Retinol also helps prevent skin drying by increasing skin hydration and aids in removing dead skin cells and clogged pores.

🔸Salicylic Acid – This ingredient is a part of the beta hydroxy acid (BHA) family and is commonly used as an acne treatment. Salicylic acid is used in treating non-inflamed breakouts and blackheads through the breaking up of dead skin cells and removing them from the skin’s surface. It is also used to clear up blackheads & blemishes and evens out skin tone.

🔸Niacinamide – Commonly used in serums, niacinamide has antioxidant and soothing properties that aid in minimizing redness and irritation that are linked with certain skin conditions. It helps brightens dark spots and the overall skin and evens out the skin tone. Niacinamide also aids in rebuilding the skin’s natural protective barrier and retaining skin moisture.

And that’s it besties! However, it is always important to note that these active ingredients may or may not be beneficial to our skin. And given that our skin reacts differently, it is important to consult your dermatologist first before applying products that contain high levels of the mentioned ingredients. What are your thoughts besties? 💖Let me know in the comments below!🤩

Fresh Skinlab Milk White (Tone Up Sun Cream)

Whenever I feel like my skin looks and feels a bit more dull than usual, I apply this Tone Up Sun Cream from Fresh Skinlab and it instantly brightens and tones my skin! One of my good friends actually recommended this to me when we were walking around the mall. She endlessly raved about this product and insisted on me getting one for myself and it was one of the best decisions of my life. For only Php 199, it already serves as a whitening cream, a sun cream, a toning cream, and a make up base all in one!

MAANGE Make-Up Sponge

Although I seldom use my fingers when I apply my base, it makes a huge difference when I use a sponge instead. This nude make up sponge is from a brand called MAANGE for only Php 35. It helps smoothen and melt the product into my skin seamlessly!

Dr. Sensitive ALL DAY NO SEBUM BLUR POWDER

It’s not an exaggeration when I say that this has been my 10th or more purchase of this product. For someone with oily to combination skin, I struggle with keeping my make-up in place all throughout the day. Not to mention, being in a humid country, my make-up easily melts and creases. But ever since I started using Dr. Sensitive All Day No Sebum Blur Powder, my make- up has definitely lasted longer despite wearing a mask the whole day. It does live up to its claims and mattifies my skin for only Php 250!

ROTO Color Eyeshadow Palette

Can you believe that this eyeshadow palette with ten (10) shades is only Php 180? And no, the quality is not similar to children’s makeup whatsoever! Since glittery and sparkly eye make up is back in trend thanks to the highly acclaimed HBO Series Euphoria, I was on a hunt for a good but affordable eyeshadow palette that would still have a good color pay-off! There are four (4) glittery shades and six (6) shimmery and buttery shades which you can definitely play around with. I can also use some of the shimmer shades as subtle to intense highlighters.

Focallure Ultrafine Eyeliner

In order for us to achieve the trendy “fox eye lewk”, we need the finest of the finest eyeliner to pull this off! I’ve had my fair share of trials and errors with a couple of brands but nothing has impressed me quite as much as Focallure’s Ultrafine Eyeliner did. Not only is it waterproof, has a fine tip, it is also, you guessed it – affordable for its quality at Php 136. I also opted for the dark brown shade for the natural effortless look.

Focallure Starlight Liquid Eyeshadow

Not only am I a Euphoria enthusiast, but also a hard core Kpop stan! I don’t just enjoy their music, but I also try my best to be updated with the hottest and latest fashion and makeup trends of my biases. One of these things would be applying glitter on the center of your bottom lashes. This is usually emphasized when an idol winks or blinks during a performance specially when the lights hit it just right! I’m able to achieve this look with Focallure’s Starlight Liquid Eyeshadow (Php 89). Don’t worry, it doesn’t feel like you have anything on when it’s applied. It dries and stays in place!

I know I can still survive without the products I mentioned, but when I know I have these items in my make-up back, my confidence level will go through the roof! And I also find comfort in knowing that I won’t break the bank when it’s time to purchase them again.
