A Preview of Uniqlo Cagayan de Oro

Hey everyone! So today lets celebrate because I'll be sharing something that happened yesterday. I know its a big surprise that I am blogging this immediately. I just don't want to add more pressure on catching up with backlogs. And not only that I've recorded a video of the event, so you will see my edited video below. ^_^

So yesterday I attended the store preview of Uniqlo Cagayan de Oro at SM Downtown Premier. Its been awhile since I attended events like this so it was great to catch up with fellow bloggers. After the cocktails and the program, VIP guest and medias was toured around the store and got to shop exclusively after. 

Shopping was a headache because there are lots of fashionable clothes to choose from. Its a good thing that the sale representatives are very friendly and helpful to costumers.  

Uniqlo will officially open its doors to Kagayanon shoppers this coming Friday, June 30, 2017. This Uniqlo store will be the 40th Uniqlo location in the Philippines. It is also the third store in Mindanao following the recent openings in SM Lanang Premier and SM City Davao. The new store will add over 1,018 sqm of new shopping space, bringing the Uniqlo LifeWear shopping experience to even more customers in Mindanao.

Dont forget to download the Uniqlo app now to enjoy member-only perk. 

As I mentioned previously, I've recorded and edited a video to give you all a preview on what's inside Uniqlo Cagayan de Oro.
By the way, since I still need to create a new personal YouTube channel, for now Ive uploaded the video on my local blog, inCDO.com YouTube channel. 

The Korean Skincare

Hi everyone! Today will be talking about skincare.

To be honest, I don't have a skincare routine before and not a fan of it. My realization came when my son ask me, how come I don't have any skincare routine when most girls do so. 

The reason why I don't have a skincare routine because I have tried some beauty products before but it doesn't works on me or it's so strong. And I'm also lazy for a routine. I'm not much of a beauty conscious before I just use beauty products which was gifted to me or what I think looks great on me. ^-^ 

So after my realization on skincare routine. I had a days off at work and so I spent time on Youtube to search for Korean skin care... 

Why Korean skin care? 

Well, aside from being addicted to Korean music and drama, I heard that their products is not harsh to the skin but very effective. It's obviously effective seeing Koreans having great skins. I have also tried some K-beauty products before which are great.
Skin type and Problem...
I have a combination skin type by the way... Oily on the T-zone and very dry on the rest of my face. I also  have a large/visible pores that I really wish to conceal or wipe out.
The Solution...

So I spent the day watching videos and learning Korean skincare routine. So it turns out, the beauty products doesn't work on me because its not suited for my skin type. >.< I have learned so much about the importance of skin care routine and its effects. 

I've also watch reviews of K-beauty products to use. And this made my card crying because I went online shopping for K-beauty products after. ㅠㅠ 

I opted to shop at Althea for they have a variety Korean beauty products that are popular and authentic and they also shipped straight from Korea. 

I shopped for individual products that I have I picked from the video recommendations and reviews that Ive watched. It was not cheap but taking my chances. Thanks to the great discounts that I got at Althea its was such a huge savings. I'm so excited to see and use the products Ive ordered.

Will be talking more about Althea when the products Ive ordered arrive.

Online Shopping: SammyDress.com May Haul

How is everyone doing?

I am so excited to share my latest online shopping adventure. I was very surprise and at the same time very happy with the excellent quality of the bag and clothes that I just shopped at SammyDress.com.

And now, without further ado, here's a review of the clothes and bags that just arrived today...

Ribbed Sweater + High-Waisted Skinny Knitted Skirt Twinset ($5.60). This one is thick and very perfect for cold weather. To be honest, I expected this to be thin that I can wear it casually in a tropical country like ours but I was wrong. Good thing the skirt is pretty wearable. I actually love it. So expect to see me wearing this in the coming #OOTD post in  Instagram or Twitter. ;)  

Elegant Women's Shoulder Bag With Arrow Print and PU Leather Design ($15.48). I was really surprise when I saw the bags. It come in set of six; shoulder bag, tote bag, crossbody bag, clutch, wallet, and keyholder. The quality is so great. When I saw the photos in the review I thought it's made of soft PU fabric. However, its actually thick and sturdy. 

Well, except for the keyholder though because when I opened it one of the metal snap button is so hard to open and it almost come off, good thing I was so careful. Now I don't lock that one snap button only the other one because Im afraid it might come off for good.    

Bodycon Mini Sweater Dress ($15.90). This one has not yet delivered. So I'm excited to see the quality and if it'll fit me since in one size.
