A few weeks ago, I got to visit Black88, one of the newest restaurants in the famous Maginhawa Street in Quezon City.
 

If you’ve been to Maginhawa Street, I bet you already know the famous Wings Gone Wild stall in one the food trucks in Maginhawa. Black88 is another creation by the same makers of Wings Gone Wild so expect that they have their famous wings sold in the place as well as, they now serve more variety of foods such as burger and pizza.

Place is very unique, catchy and pumped with industrialized designs all over the place.
One can choose to dine in the aircon area or the non – aircon area outside. 
  

Here’s their full menu:

Here’s what they served to us during our visit:

Black88 Burger (Php200)
“Featuring our in-house charcoal bun with quarter pounder beef with lettuce and tomatoes smothered with cheddar and mozzarella”
- The quarter pounder beef patty taste perfectly good, unique and thick. I think the charcoal bun along with the lettuce, tomatoes, cheddar and mozzarella is a good combination as the taste is very smoky and grilled. Also, mind you that they give GENEROUS amount of cheese on each order. Yay for cheese lovers like me J

Beef Salpicao (Php240)
“Sirloin cubes sautéed in olive oil, chili and garlic confit”
 
-Spicy, tasty and good. If you’re looking for a good rice meal with that spicy kick aside then this is it. It was a good tasty meal except that the meat/beat was a bit hard to chew (not sure if it’s out fault because we had to take photos first so we didn’t ate it right after it was served).

Spinach Artichoke (Php380)
“Blended sauce of cream cheese, spinach, artichoke and mushrooms, best paired with our homemade spiced honey”
 
-Unique pizza with a twist. This Spinach Artichoke is very creamy, milky and sweet. Yea, you heard it right. It is actually perfectly paired with their homemade spiced honey which makes add up to the sweet taste of the pizza. According to my friend, when paired up with the spiced honey, this one tastes like a waffle/pancake but better. Also, I like that dough used was very thick and creamy as well. It is actually a good combination with their burger or rice meals. 

Black88 Bacon & Wedges (Php180)
-Their wedges were perfectly cooked as the potato was soft with a spicy taste on the side. While the bacon was crunchy and yummy. It’s definitely one of those food that one would really love to munch in. It was perfect although we just find it a bit pricey given the amount.


 
Overall, we had a great time dining in here. Place was comfy and foods served were definitely great. Good place to dine with family and friends. Feel free to visit them at Maginhawa Street (address and more info below).


 

Thanks again Rose, Camille, Daryl and staff of Blackk88 for having us! :)

Hello girls! Today's review will be about this Fracora White'st Placenta Serum which I tried for about 2 months already.
 

Honestly, I haven't tried any serums before since I find it sticky, oily and heavy in my face. I do have an oily skin thus I try my best to stay away from serums but when I first tried this Fracora White'st, I immediately changed my mind about serums.

Btw, serums are actually used under makeup, as moisturizer or with a treatment mask. Meanwhile, placenta helps with repairing the skin and helps fight the signs of aging. So when serum, placenta and whitening product are combined, what more can you ask for?

Product Info: Fracora White'st Placenta Extract Serum contains 100% concentrated undiluted pure placenta essence. Placenta serum is a type if skin treatment product normally made from sheep placenta which is normally applied topically as a skin restorative.
 

Packaging: Comes in this small medicine like bottle with a dropper.

Ingredients: Water, BG, Placenta extract

Weight: 30ml

Price: Php2,200 at Cheska's Store

Scent: No scent.

Consistency: Watery but it after spreading the product, it tends to get moisturizing on the skin.
 

How To Use: 
 
-Use every morning and night, after washing the face. Apply a sufficient amount on your palms and pat all over the face.

Result: I've tried this product as part of my night time skincare routine for about 2 months (I use it 3-4x a week) already and I love the result. I love that my skin feels smooth and soft after I wash it in the morning. It really made my skin brighter and glowy.
 
The consistency is very watery and you just have to use 2-3 drops (add 1-2 drops more for dry skin types) for the whole face. It is watery on first application then turns moisturizing afterwards.

For dry skin, you can actually use this in the morning as well.
For oily skin, I do recommend using this at night time only as it makes my face greasy during day time.

Btw, you can also mix this with a bb cream or foundie as it makes your look dewy and fresh. Or I sometimes mix this with a clay mask as it helps moisturize my skin.


Watch my video review on my Youtube Channel below:

Pros:
- Moisturizing and hydrating on the skin
- Skin feels soft and smooth
- Non greasy
- Glowy and brighter look
- Can be mixed with foundation or bb cream for that dewy look
- Can also be mixed with clay mask or DIY mask
- I really love the packaging - Handy and easy to use
- A little goes a long way

Cons:
- Expensive for a small bottle of serum
- Minimal changes on my pimple marks, blemishes and imperfections

Verdict: After 2 months (3-4x a week) of using this product, I can say that I'm really satisfied with the results of this Fracora White'st serum. It really made a huge difference on my skin as it is really glowy and brighter after use. You can also use this is many ways so I definitely recommend thus product for those who are willing to splurge on serums like this.

Ever Bilena is one of popular local brands of makeup in the Philippines. I haven’t tried their other products except for their Stick Foundation (been using it since 2007).

A month ago, I went at a drugstore to look for a good lipstick when I came across EB Advance newest line of lippies. The 4 NEW nude brown shades caught my eyes and one of which is the Dusky Rose shade.
 

EB advance Matte lippie in Dusky Rose shade is a brown with a hint of mauve pink shade. Though not all brown shades really suits my small lips, good thing, this Dusky Mauve suits me well. And lately, I'm becoming obsessed with nude or brown shades!! Haha

Packaging: The lipstick comes in this simple white, plastic packaging that reminds me of Mac lippies (in black). Also, their lip stick comes with a box.

 
 
 
Weight: 3.6g

Price: Php195

Scent: Fruity which smells really good!

Shades: I think they have lots of shades under this line but they just introduced their 4 new nude brown shades below:

*Already bought the KYLIE & MINK MAUVE shade which I’ve been eyeing to but this past few month!
Swatch:
 

Review: Was able to road test this lippie a few weeks ago and here are my thoughts:

AT 2pm:

AT 6PM:
- After 4 hours, I had to retouch my lips as the color was washed off a bit since I ate dinner that time

AT 10PM
- After 8 hours, I already got home and my lips felt dry. As you can see, the color on my inner lips are now gone.

Video review on my Youtube channel below:
 

Pros:
- Love the shade!!
- Good/wearable for everyday use
- Matte finish
- Buildable
- Glides well on the lips
- Love the handy & light packaging
- Affordable

:
- Tends to feel drying on the lips after a few hours

Verdict: Surprisingly, I really love this EB Advance Dusky Rose shade added to my growing lipstick collection. The Dusky Rose shade to be exact, is a great wearable lipstick that can be used by every girls. It is a bit sheer when applied but no worries since it is very buildable. It has a matte finish which is very trendy now. Though this lipstick can be a bit drying on the lips after a few hours, I suggest that when your lips tends to get uncomfortable, just redo everything. Nonetheless, not bad for a local brand thus bought 3 new lippies from Ever Bilena during their sale a few weeks ago J

How about you? Have you tried this one? Or any recommendations you like to share? Pls don't hesitate to leave your comments down below. Hope to hear from you. :) Thanks for reading :)
