Hello! 😊 It's good to be back writing again for all of you. How was your weekends? Mine is boring plus its raining outside though I love this kind of weather. Anyway, let's talk about foundations and its my first time that I have reviewed a foundation which I use . Many years ago, I used whatever I had back then. I didn't mind if its for the best for a combination skin type like me. But when I had a breakouts I became aware what I used. So today, I use two types of foundations that suits me well.

First one is Mary Kay Timewise matte-wear liquid foundation, I have been using this for almost a year now. It's only available through your trusted Mary Kay beauty consultant, it is very suitable for sensitive skin. It's oil free and non - comedogenic contents makes your skin flawless after application and will visibly reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, it's a matte finish! The shade I got somewhat suits me (beige 2) and I like the quality of this product.

The second one is Avon True Color Flawless Foundation, early 2017 Avon revamped their True Color Make up collection with a new look and new products. One of the changes was converting Avon Ideal Flawless Liquid Foundation to Avon True Color Flawless Foundation. It has the same great Invisiblend Technology with true color guarantee.

I'm using medium beige shade just recently and so far I like it. This particular foundation claims to "look and feel 100% natural" now I have been trialing this foundation for a little over a week now and I have literally fallen in love with this product. It gives my skin lovely and flawless glow of which I love, it did not take away the natural appeal of my skin.

To be honest I'm not a fan of any direct-selling brand when it comes to make up, maybe because I don't see the brand in the mainstream. And the most important part, it's hard choosing your shade in a catalog because most of them don't have testers for you to see or for you to try, but everything change when I use these two products.

Both products work amazing in my experience. They are both fragrance free if you have issues with scented make ups this is for you.

DISCLAIMER: It is my own honest opinion based on personal experiences. I am not a beauty expert/professional. I am just someone who loves to write.

Remember that we all have different skin types or may react to certain products. What works for me, may not work for you. It's better to check the product first if it suits you well and discontinue use when causes you irritation.

Happy Blogging! Xoxo 💋

(Mantigue Island from afar)

Since it's #throwbacksaturday today, I wanted to share with you how lucky I am to be able to experience Camiguin Island trips five years ago along with my friend and her mom.

Camiguin Island of Northern Mindanao is the next travel destination. We travel from Iligan City (my hometown) to CDO by land, the travel lasted for one and half hour. Things got easier once we reached Agora Market, all the buses can be found there whether you're west bound, south bound or east bound. In our case, were Camiguin bound so we hooped into an east bound bus (Butuan) as it will bring us directly to Balingoan Port, travel time is more or less 3 hours. Butuan bound buses has a pick up terminal in Balingoan, so when our bus stopped there for like 10-20 minutes we alighted and walked to the port which is just a few blocks away.

Where to stay?

As soon as we arrived in Camiguin, we asked the pedicab driver if he knows some place to stay since were not prepared for that trip, we didn't even planned the itinerary for this trip. That time was a holy week and all of the resorts and hotels were full, good thing Mr. Driver know someone who rent a room. We end up in a house in Mambajao, actually we just rent a room but its big enough for the three of us. We stayed for 3-4 days.

Where to go?

We went to Katibawasan Falls, Ardent Hot Spring Resort, Old church ruins, Sunken Cemetery, walk way to the old volcanoes, white island, and white island fish sanctuary.

Fish Sanctuary

When we go outside to look for a place to eat, we found this sanctuary not far from our place to stay. So we got our curiosity and went there.

That part of the seashore are the fish sanctuary.

Katibawasan Falls

It is located five kilometers southeast of Mambajao at the foot of Mt. Timpoong in Camiguin. It is a nice place to cool off during hot and humid days, it provide ice cold water. The area surrounded by huge tress and dropping vines with giant ferns decorating the surrounding land.

Ardent Hot Spring

It is situated 6 kilometers southwest of Mambajao. It's also considered as the most popular hot spring in the island, it is a natural pool of about 39°C coming from the bowels of Mt. Hibok hibok. They have eatery too.

Old church ruins

It is located in Brgy Bonbon, Catarman. Upon arriving at the location of the ruins, the only thing that made me recognize it as a church are the candle and other religious crafts vendors outside. We saw the remains of a once beautifully structured Spanish era buildings. The moss covered and cracked coral stone walls are evidence of how old it was and a tragedy that came with it. It is said that when the first volcanic eruption took place in early 1870's, the town of catarman was badly destroyed making a portion of it sank into the sea. The ruins of Guiob Church also known as Old Church Ruins is all that left of the old town.

I'm always attracted to ruins and historical places.

Walkway to Old Volcano

It's was a holy week when we took our trip and attend the Panaad Festival. The slope of Mt. Vulcan gets filled with prayers especially during Holy Week, devotees and tourist like us climb a series of steps which eventually becomes a mildly difficult hike. It got tiring as we went on but the view from the top was simply breathtaking and was worth every step.

Sunken Cemetery

Approximately 16 kilometers from Catarman proper. This island's famous Sunken Cemetery, marked by a cross standing in the middle of the sea, resulted from the birth of Mount Vulcan in 1871. The huge cross was built in 1982 which lies 20 feet underwater to commemorate the community cemetery which sunk during the volcanic eruption of Mt. Vulcan.

White Island Sandbar

After eating delicious and satisfying breakfast we headed to Brgy. Yumbing in Mambajao where we can rent a boat to take us to White Island. The glistening blue water make the literally white island standout. As you get nearer, the water gets clearer and the shades of blue are more apparent. There's a sari-sari store in deserted island which also serves as a landmark and where you can buy food, chips and drinks. You can also rent umbrellas. Often, fisherman come by and invite guests to sample their catch. While we were laying under the big umbrella, a fisherman came by and offered us theses spiny urchins as a meal,

Where to eat?

The time when we took that trip, we often just prepared our food on where we stay. We just experience eat outside when we go to Ardent Hot Spring, they have a restaurant there and had dinner at Luna Ristorante.

So far this was the long and best trip for me. I am in love with Camiguin Island and I'm definitely going back for sure. What about you blogger's? What was your best trips?
