REVIEW: Amici

ReviewReviewReview REVIEW: Amici

Category: Restaurants
Cuisine: Italian
Location: SM Megamall



in fairness, before i had my meal at Amici, i already had a heavy heart and was getting sleepy instead of being angry. no nothing personal i.e. the Benj and I had a fight, nothing like that. di ko lang nahabol yung isang cd that i wanted to buy at astro vision, hahaha.

Weekend lunch, the usual place, Ortigas, 3 and a half malls to choose from. We chose to eat at a place we haven't tried and where it seems there are always people eating, not a good standard to follow as you read on.

upon entering, sorry naman kung first time ko dito. turo turo pala dito. parang milky way of long ago. not jologs yet turo turo.

so the Benj placed our orders then i saw him get glasses and put ice in them, so i was in daze that i didn't realize what self service was at the time. he was holding 3 glasses, now with ice in them since my mom was with us. mom had to jump out of her chair to make sure the Benj wouldn't drop any of those glasses he had to place ice in, did i mention, by himself?

by the way the ice tea here is a liter of lipton per order. so fine isang coke zero pls.

it's a family place so madaming bata.

the orders started to arrive:

first up, the fried mozzarella cheese with breading topped with their own tomato sauce thing. SARAP. especially while pipping hot. if you can stand paying about 150-200 per head or per head/meal but without much service then do try the fried mozzarella appetizer.

Photobucket


the Benj always seem to order the right thing, or sadyang takaw tikim at ingitera ako. he ordered the pasta in basil(?), anchovies and olive oil, winner! Just the right saltiness. the pasta was al dente and wasn't drenched with olive oil either, it was just right. i loved his order.

Photobucket


my order was this tomato based seafood pasta. it had 2 big prawns, some shell fish, i don't recall if there were any squid or fish though. the tomato sauce was kinda like the sauce they put on top of the fried mozzarella. similar but not the same on the account of the seafood in it. it had the same pasta quality, al dente. mine was happily drenched in the tomato sauce. which is fine with me, actually. i had a difficult time prying out the prawns from their shells so i ended up giving them to my mom, bago lalong uminit ulo ko.

Photobucket


mom's order was the usual carbonara. she liked it, a bit too creamy as she couldn't finish her order on the account of it being too rich. and since there was no iced tea that less than a liter, she had to order coke light which she hardly ever does, so she felt satiated right away.

and finally the 2nd appetizer arrived, after following up the order 3 times and after we had finished our meals...

Photobucket


well they apologized for the delay, what else can they do right? buti na lang masarap daw (sabi ni mommy at ni the Benj).

i reviewed eat and go, here, they have a similar price range with the added extra of full service of a waitress waiting on you, serving you your drinks, glasses with ice included and not having your appetizer arrive last.

so fine, it's possible my patience was not present to begin with after having visited 3 record bars to no avail, but the fact a restaurant within spitting distance has the same price range but actually has service can annoy me even if i had gone to Amici with a cooler head.

masarap ang food dito, worth the price, magbaon lang ng pasensya [ok i think i opened myself up on that one].

REVIEW: VMV HYPOALLERGENICS Metamorphoskin 15

this foundation is being retailed at US$45. I got mine at the Landmark Trinoma, for PhP1300 at a buy one get one (so i have another one in their "Champagne" shade)

VMV's website description:
Description:

Liquid-Into-Powder, Soft-Yet-Perfectly-Matte Oil-Absorbing Foundation

SkinMatch, Liquid-Into-Powder, Soft-Yet-Perfectly-Matte Oil-Absorbing Foundation

You won’t believe your eyes ... and they won’t believe your skin! This magical tincture spreads on as a light liquid, then instantly transfigures: drying as a fine, fleecy, powder. But the real metamorphosis is your complexion: matte as matte can be, shine-free, yet surprisingly soft.

This mattifying foundation controls shine for hours yet looks fresh and natural, not heavy or caked on. Pore-friendly to help in the management of acne. Medium coverage that provides daily sun protection, too.

Combination to Oily Skin Medium Coverage. Validated Hypoallergenic: VH - 27. SPF 15. 100% All-Types-Of-Fragrance-Free. 100% Preservative-Free. Usage and Patch-Tested. Non-Comedogenic.

Net Content: 0.88 Oz. (25g)

Ingredients: Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Polydimethyl Siloxane, Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer, Titanium Dioxide, Alkyl Silane, Polymethylmethacrylate, Iron Oxides

May Contain:
Talc

My Experience:

Here's a shot of this foundation before blending. the consistency is as watery (or slightly more so) as my holiest of grail, Revlon Colorstay with Softplex for Oily Combination in Buff.

Photobucket

Pic of me and my office mate Jasmin, no foundation on.

Picture below shows half of my face with the foundation and the other without. Keri naman ang shade, the shade i have on is Breeze.

Photobucket

Pic below is taken with the flash turned on auto...tada! folks the Pinay relative of Toshio!

Photobucket

Pic with no flash.

Photobucket

Pic of myself with some makeup on, office look.

Photobucket

Throughout the day.

Photobucket

After a full shift and back at home and some oiliness and hmmm possibly oxidation as i no longer look like the undead, at, take note may flash yan.

Photobucket

Thoughts:

Consistency /Application: I concur with the description of liquid into powder. The consistency of this product is glorious! It's so soft to blend and spread on my face. It doesn't dry as fast as Revlon's foundation either so I have ample time to blend. The warmth of your fingers and your face helps it make it more emollient. Don't use a sponge with this since it's too watery, sayang ang mahal na foundation kung sa loob ng sponha lang mapupunta. Use your fingers or a foundation brush with synthetic bristles i.e. taklon.

Sun protection: The usual/minimum SPF15 that most cosmetic companies dispense. NO PA + or anything!

Coverage: nako noh, to coin a phrase from one of my office mates, Bern, I look as though nagapply lang ako ng pressed powder ng "bongang bonga" (in pic when the flash is turned on). putting it mildly, the coverage is light. Too light even for my under eye circles that aren't too dark to begin with. Most of my pores were covered well enough (this in combination with a bb cream underneath as my primer).

Shade Match: So long as flash photography will not come into play then the shade suits me just fine, it's like a mix of buff (Revlon) and NC20-ish (Mac). It doesn't give an initial white cast, kung ano na yung shade nya upon first application, yun na yun.

Oil at bay: This in combination with my Skin Food Peach Sake BB cream (under the foundation) and Ellana Minerals Espresso con Pana setting powder on top made me use less of my oil blotting films. i didn't have to blot until about 6 hours later, that's a record for me. i usually have to blot in about 3 or 4 hours.

Lasting Power: I still looked fresh when I got home, all i ever usually do when I wear liquid foundation is touch it up by blotting oil and apply mineral veil or ellana's setting powder. (it's when i use mineral makeup foundation that i have to reapply after about 4 to 6 hours). It doesn't rub off. once it dries, it stays put.

Oxidation: There was oxidation (darkening) in the later part of my day, as it wasn't too reflective of the flash anymore.

Shelf Life: ONE YEAR. nako.

Recommendations:

I recommend this foundation to people with hardly any blemish. I recommend this foundation to people who actually use a separate concealer for their under eye circles. I recommend this foundation to people who won't have their picture taken or if you would, it's possible a diffuser can help. Ang sakit naman i-recommend for everyday office wear sa mahal ng foundation na toh when there are other foundations just as good for PhP825 and come in a full oz instead of being just 0.88 Oz
