Sweet Tooth X Mrs. Fields Cookies


Hi! Howdy y'all? 
I have another fresh from the oven post here. /hihi
Have you guise heard about Mrs. Fields?
Well I just knew it just yesterday. LOL /wahaha

I did mention how I'm loving FOOD a lot.
Dad came home from Manila and brought us this 
suuupeerrr yummy cookies!
I can't even tell you how super is that, but swear,
this is the best cookies ever!

Because I'm not familiar with this, I made a quick research about Mrs. Fields.
Wikipedia to the rescue! :)

Mrs. Fields Famous Brands is a franchisor in the snack food industry, 
with Mrs. Fields and TCBY as its core brands.
Through its franchisees’ retail stores,
 it is one of the largest retailers of freshly baked, on-premises
specialty cookies and brownies in the US and the largest retailer
of soft-serve frozen yogurt with live active cultures in the United States.
In addition, it operates a gifts and a branded retail business
 and has entered into many licensing arrangements. 
Its franchise systems includes over 300 franchised and licensed
locations throughout the US and in 22 other countries.
 The company also offers retail grocery products and 
a gifting catalog under the name of Mrs. Fields Gifts. 
Mrs. Fields is headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah.


I'm like ohh, now I know. :D
Bare with me please. I'm not going around to places that much. 

These cookies are really yumyum.
Dad got only a dozen 'cause it's kinda pricey.
I asked him Krispy Creme donuts for pasalubong but he's not familiar with 
that either. I thought, mana-mana lang. haha
But he bought Dunkin donuts though. -_-
Their cookies are really sweet for anybody's liking.
But I love love sweets! 
I'm glad he got assorted cookies.


You'll know these cookies ain't ordinary on first bite. 
(I know I'm kinda exaggerating here)
But really, their cookies are so soft, real freshly baked.
It got loads of chocolates and nuts.
I'm in love!


Before telling you any more exaggerations, 
I'll leave you one last shot of the cookies.
Took some shot after grabbing some.

How 'bout you? Have you tried Mrs Fields cookies?
How was it?

My thoughts on Excel LC

Hi!
I'm suppose to blog about our 
weekend getaway (beach trip again),
 but I saw this on my drafts.
Haven't finished writing my thoughts
on this product.

It is actually the Excel lip cream
which they claim as a dupe for
NYX's soft matte lip cream.
I saw this on most online shops
over Facebook.
I'm just having second thoughts
of buying this because we
never know what's in
it and where it came from (manufactured).
And with the price, 
I thought there's really nothing
good in it.

I'm fond in joining auctions
these days, when I stumbled into
this which they had it on sale
for as low as Php 55!
Some online shops do retail
this at Php 100-150.

But, I was really disappointed
on the result. >_<

Here it goes.
I got the shade no. in 510.
The picture showed a nice
light orange shade so I chose this.

without flash
It comes in a sexy tube and an applicator
like of a lip gloss or lip cream.
What will you expect with a 
Php 55 price tag?

with flash
I swatch it on my arm first.
It glided easily.
It is really a lovely red-orangey color,
but more of orange.
The color is very opaque.
But it turns out really dry
after a minute or two.
Not like NYX's creamy
but matte lip cream.
I'm like "o-oh".
The texture was like a paint or something 
like an acrylic paint that dried up!


I tried removing it with my wet
tissues and added more water 
but it wont come off!
I used our dish washing scrub 
to take it all off.
I imagined it on my lips
and then use a scrub to take it off?
No way! LOL.

oops. wrong focus.

That thought scared me so
I never dared to try it on my lips.
I just wonder what ingredients are
used since there's no ingredients printed on.


I thought of selling this product before.
But now? Big NO.
I wont recommend people
to buy this again.

Safety first!
