What's New? Upcoming Product Reviews!

Image
Happy Saturday!  I haven't been blogging again since I have been busy with things here at home and also with my Korean language studies..its hard to be student again! but its really nice.  So on today's post I will show you some of the new items I have been trying out recently. 

Product Review: Charen Korea Face Mask

Image
Hello lovelies! I am back with a review for today. I have an ongoing fascination with face masks - Korean face mask in particular since most of their masks are easy to use. It come is a sheet mask in which you don't have to wash it off and its quite convenient to use if you are going on a trip, just slap this on then snooze away. The down side though is it can be messy to apply depending on the product and some are sticky but beauty has some downside too so its okay. Today I will be reviewing this mask that I bought from a Korean store a couple of weeks store. Its only 3 packs for 50 pesos. These are Charen Korea face masks. I only got the Aloe Essence, Royal Jelly, and the Mineral Essence. I will be reviewing them individually and tell you which one is great for what skin type. All of them are safe for all skin types, according to the instructions at the back of the packaging, but if you ask me its better to know which one works for you the most.

My Make Up Collection: Face Products

Image
Since I started this blog and also doing beauty related videos on my youtube channel and do make up gigs on the side, I have collected a lot of make up which quite honestly I thought was small but when I look at it now its HUGE. I was able to collect these much from my purchases while some are gifts from my friends and family or stuff that I won from online contests and such. I was really surprised because while conceptualizing with this post I thought of just doing one video but when I saw all of my make up I thought to just make them in parts so the video will be short and you won't be confused with all the products I will be featuring.

Product Review: Avon Simply Pretty BB Cream

Image
Happy Monday ladies! I am back with another post for today.   This week will be review week which means I will be featuring some products on my blog that is either a winner or not so much in my experience. On today's product review it will be about Avon's Simply Pretty BB Cream. I know that BB creams are all over the place and I have just started going over some, but its definitely not too late to check them out. I have actually seen this one on last month's Avon catalogue and told myself why not try it right? So I did and I didn't really put any high expectations on this one so my heart won't break if it doesn't work out.

When I was younger, I remember when I got my very first facial. It was horrifying but I didn't cry or whine since my tolerance to pain is not that high. But did you ever wish    na sana hindi na masakit mag pa facial?

August 2011 Haul

Image
Ola girls!  I have decided I will just do a monthly haul because I don't really shop till I drop in the first place haha!  any who these are the stuff that I bought within the month of August. First thing I bought was Myra E daily sun protect facial moisturizer. I have been using this moisturizer for some time and it has never failed me. I also bought Pond's clear solutions since I have the usual pre-menstrual break out that I need to tame from time to time.  Next is a lippie from Sophie Paris Koshize lipstick in Red Salsa. If you have read my addictions on lipsticks you may have seen this. I love the color since it doesn't make me look like I just drank blood. This lipstick is matte and long lasting, so I will test it out.   Another sophie paris! I have seen this before when I was still in college but I haven't used it for myself. So I bought this basically out of the whim and because I have been becoming a bit lazy in applying make up. Blame it in this pes...

Selena Gomez "Love you like a love song" inspired look

Image
Happy Saturday! :)  This is my blog for the Love you like a love song video.  I've put the pictures of the products in order so you can follow the steps. Also please do check my Youtube Video for more information.  of course the first step is to apply foundation. The foundation I used for this look is Ever Bilena's Studio Finish Foundation. This foundation actually works really well for this look since this has full coverage.  Next is concealer. The concealer I'm using which is also from Ever Bilena not just acts as a concealer but also as an eye primer. I'll give you more information about that on another post ok? :)  Since in Selena's video, the main focus of this look is her eye make up, I figured I will just work with 2 colors in which its only 2 shades of purple. The base color is the eyeshadow from ombretto. Yes it is now broken because I accidentally dropped it during a gig :( this is actually my favorite shade of purple. :(  The next col...

Product Review: Nichido True Colors Liquid Foundation

Image
Ola! I'm back with a review and it is for the Nichido True Colors Liquid Foundation.  I've been using this product for 6 months. Yes. 6 months  and I just remembered to make a review about it now haha! sorry signs of aging na ba ito? Noooooooo!! As far as I can remember there are I think 3 to 4 shades of this product. I got the shade stay light which is their lightest. And one thing I was very impressed is that the shade that I got matches my skin and doesn't give me a white cast or ghostly look! :)  If you don't know Nichido, it is actually a make up brand here in the Philippines. Its like Ever Bilena but a bit pricey. They also have great products that I will definitely try next time but for now we will focus more on one of their lines which is the True Colors collection.  When I started using this it was fine since it did not break me out and also gave me a semi matte to dewy finish. One thing I like about this product is the pump.  Since I have been in...

Product Review: Ever Bilena Advanced Concealer in Light Vanilla

Image
Hello! I'm back!! and I'm back with a review! :D For today's review is about Ever Bilena's Concealer. I picked Light Vanilla since its their lightest color. EB's concealers come in 3 shades - Light Vanilla, Soft Beige, and Velvet Nude. Its said that it will conceal under eye circles, reduce the visibility of pores and also dark spots. I remember I bought this for like 125.00+ I actually forgot the right price because I bought this product a couple of months ago from an ever bilena representative. One Quick Tip: EB products are actually cheaper if you buy them from a sales representative than the mall. But if you don't know anyone who sells EB products you can just go to Watson's ^^ It comes in a tube packaging. At first you'd think its a lipstick but its not. ^^ Now here is my breakdown. What I like about the product.... - Blends really well on my skin, Especially around the eye area. - Creamy but feels light on my skin. - Does not make my skin break o...

How To: Apply Makeup In Five Minutes or more

Image
I have heard a lot of articles about applying make up as fast as you can, here is my version of it. After taking a bath, apply some moisturizer on your face. Leave it on your face for sometime; say a minute or two, so that your skin gets enough time to absorb the moisture. I usually apply my moisturizer is a patting motion. This way of applying moisturizer also keeps your face looking alive and gives that "fresh" look. In the meantime, get your entire makeup ready, so that you do not end up looking for it. You need to prepare everything so that once that your moisturizer has been absorbed by your skin you won't stress yourself finding for your make up. Now, apply the foundation on your face and blend it with the help of a sponge or a foundation brush. I usually do it with a sponge. Next, you will have to apply your favorite eye shadow, followed by eyeliner, which will help define your eyes. Concentrate on the shape of your eyes while using the liner, since ...

MULTIPLY REPOST: Weird Beauty Tips that actually work!

Image
ANOTHER RE-POST! ^_^ These were some of the tips and tricks I learned from my mom, from Cosmo and among other :) *** Try shaving your legs with conditioner instead of soap or shaving cream. I've done this myself, and it actually works really well! They say that the conditioner helps soften the leg hair so it's easier to shave off -- which is true . *** Use an exfoliating facial scrub on your underarms to help your pits look soft and pretty. facial scrubs are gentler than body scrubs. This is a good one if you like wearing sleeveless shirts! *** Left with streaks after you use a self-tanner? oh dear! Put a little baking soda on a loofah and give yourself an all over scrub. It'll buff away the streaks and leave you with soft skin! *** Spritz your favorite scent onto your hairbrush before you brush your hair. You'll smell good all day -- just one spritz is plenty. I like this idea a lot and have used this one on many occasions.. *** The next time you break a nail, p...
