My 199-peso nose job

 ...in a little palette! 😉

 

I've had the Silkygirl 3D Brow & Nose Shadow for quite some time now. I've been working from home for over a year now, so I'm more friends with food than makeup (LOL), but last week, I had a presentation with our U.S. colleagues and so I played with makeup again. It's been a while!

 

 

Silkygirl Expert Brow & Nose Shadow is a two-shade powder kit that adds dimension to your brows and nose. Use both shades to create natural 3D brows; light shade to contour nose.

• Easy application
• Matte finish
• Long-wearing
• Fragrance-free
• Not tested on animals

 

Swatches:

 

My kit is in the shade 01 Dark Brown. It looks quite warm against my skintone.

 

When worn:

 

I used the lighter shade on my nose line. I applied it using my fingers only, and look at the results! It's like my nose grew a sharper bridge in just seconds. I'm so amazed! Oh, I also applied a bit of MAC Strobe Cream on my nose bridge as highlight.

Price: PHP 199

Silkygirl is available online via Shopee and Lazada

Silkygirl is seriously such an underrated brand. I have a number of Silkygirl products in my kit and they all deliver. It's just that the packaging is not fancy enough. Their packaging could be improved to catch the attention of makeup lovers.

Love,

Helen

Salmon HQ's new products for the Lenten season

Salmon HQ will make abstaining from meat easier during Lent with their newest offerings: Soft Shell Crab Sushi Bake and Seafood Wafu Pasta.

 

Get ready to indulge in savory seafood goodness!

 

This medium tray of Soft Shell Crab Sushi Bake is filled with soft shell crab, ebi, premium kani kama, Japanese sushi rice, aonori (seaweeds), ebiko, topped with their homemade spicy sauce & wasabi dressing. I've tried lots of sushi bakes before, and this one is #1 for me. Salmon HQ sent me this one, but I ordered another one right away for gifting. It's THAT good - too good to not share.

This is so generously topped with meaty soft shell crabs! It may seem expensive for a sushi bake at first glance, but when I think of how expensive small pieces of soft shell crab sushi in Japanese restaurants are, this one from Salmon HQ is automatically a good deal. Worth it, I say. My mom who is not a fan of sushi said that this was so delicious, and thought that Salmon HQ was an actual restaurant. When I told her it's a home-based business, she was even more amazed by that fact. This is sooo good.

Prices:

• Small: PHP 800, good for 1-3 pax, 6 3/4”x 5 3/4”comes with 1 seaweed pack
• Medium: PHP 1,600, good for 4-6 pax, 8” x 8” comes with 2 seaweed packs
• Large: PHP 1,800, good for 6-8 pax, 8" x 10" comes with 3 seaweed packs

+ PHP 50 for an additional pack of seaweeds (brand varies depending on the availability)

 

Their second new release is this beautiful tray of Seafood Wafu Pasta. It's a mix of spaghetti, scallops, shrimp, and salmon tossed in an umami soy butter glaze. I have never had a seafood pasta of this kind before, so this is such a unique and flavorful take.

Prices:

• Small: PHP 500, good for 1-3 pax
• Medium: PHP 1,000, good for 4-6 pax 
• Large: PHP 1,200, good for 6-8 pax
