Gudo Pizza Pasta Steak Peri Peri

Gudo Pizza Pasta Steak Peri Peri (reminds me of Pen Pineapple Apple Pen XD) is located at 17 Congressional Avenue Extension, brgy pasong tamo,  Quezon City, 1107 Metro Manila. It's open everyday from 12-10pm.

2 Floors

the ambience is typical and warm even though it was pouring outside.

Menu
The price is really affordable for the generous servings and tasty dishes.

well done steak with mashed potato PHP185

medium rare steak with mashed potato PHP185

peri peri chicken with rice PHP135

beef lasagna PHP180

bacon & onion pizza PHP160

I'm not really a steak person so I prefer it well done and it was good. The mashed potato was good, the pizza looks pale but was surprisingly good too. It's a nice place with delicious and affordable food.. worth the travel.

Original vs Fake Nyx Lip Lingerie

How to spot fake versus original Nyx Lip Lingerie? Nyx Lip Lingerie is not yet officially available in the Philippines yet but that wouldn't stop make up lovers from getting their hands on this lippie. But since you can only buy them from online sellers, you have to be extra careful not to buy the fake ones.

Nyx Lip Lingerie
Top Shade: Ruffle Trim (FAKE)
Bottom Shade: Exotic (ORIGINAL)
You wouldn't really notice when you look at them at a glance, but the original is bigger and the text is a little bolder.

The original has a barcode sticker at the cap and a line with the shade description.


Left: Original
Right: Fake
The fake one has the shade name on the cap.

Left: Original
Right: Fake
The applicator of the original one is longer

The smell is also different. The original has a faint smell of chemical while the fake one smells like cake. I bought the original one from a shopee which costs PHP550 while the fake one was bought from an instagram online shop for PHP300. Nyx Lip Lingerie costs $7 from the Nyx online shop so that should at least be around PHP350. 

(not yet dry)
Left: Exotic Original
Right: Ruffle Trim Fake
Note that they are different shades

Update: 
(dry)
Left: Exotic (Real) more brownish/orange color
Right: Exotic (Fake) more pinkish/reddish color
The fake one looks more pigmented than the original but if you add another layer, they could be the same color like the picture in the first swatch. 

The original feels sticky on first application but dries matte and transfer proof. Unlike other matte lipsticks, it doesn't feel drying.
