Halo-Halo There!

May 12th, 2014 by Karen 20 Comments






Halo-halo, a Filipino ice cream dessert (that’s purple yam ice cream on top)

I hope you had a happy Mother’s Day yesterday. 🙂 I drove out to my parents’ house in the East Bay, and then we all went out and got Chinese for lunch.

That picture up there at the top is what we had for dessert back at the house. It’s called halo-halo, a Filipino ice cream dessert.

    What an adorable duo. Did Tabs do anything special for you on Mother’s Day?

    And that purple is FABULOUS. Blurples are my favorite kind of purple. I need a lippie in that shade stat.

    I missed home! Waaahhh! I love the Ube Ice cream on top of the Halo Halo. I love the tapioca pearls, shredded coconut, jackfruit, caramelized bananas, mango, Nata de Coco, sweet black beans and everything else under the sun. Yum!

    The lotus root dish kind of creeps me out (I hate clusters of holes like that… creepy!) but I want to eat the Halo Halo because that purple color is INTENSE. I love it!

    Your mom’s adorable, I love her funny face with you! I haven’t seen my mom yet for Mother’s Day, but I’ll be picking up a new bottle of Chanel for her before I see her 🙂

      I get what you mean. I feel the same way when I see some clusters with holes that are really close…BLECH!

      So, I think you would love the purple ice cream. It’s ube, which is a root, and it’s very sweet. I’m actually craving this dessert right now, om nom nom.

      Which scent are you getting your mom? No. 5?

        Yup! Mom wears very little makeup, is not into skincare or anything, but loves Chanel No. 5.

          Mine is the same way. Does she like the original? I gave my mom Eau Premiere for her birthday and she liked it.

            Yup, I usually buy her the EDP, but I was thinking of getting her the Eau Premiere.

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
