Photoescape Reviews: Avon's Far Away Aurora

Image
 And we are back with a review! This actually has been one of my perfume when I was working in my last office job. Honestly I got tons of feedback on this because it just smells so good.  I actually just bought this because of the bottle HAHAH!  This is a complete blind buy that I do not regret so I will share my thoughts with you on this.  If you know Avon has a lot of perfume line and definitely the Far Away line is a long standing collection that I do look forward when they release new scents.  Based on Fragnantica.com  Far Away Aurora by Avon is a Oriental Vanilla fragrance for women. Far Away Aurora was launched in 2021. Its Top notes are Cardamom, Italian Lemon and Pink Pepper; middle notes are Yogurt, Water Lily and Rose; Base notes are Bourbon Vanilla, Cedar and Vetiver. If I can describe the scent, its initial spray is like a lemony yogurt which dries down to a very subtle rich vanilla. Honestly its ethereal and very classy. Its not too harsh on...

Avon's Eve Truth Perfume Review

Image
 I remember when this perfume came out I was a little curious about it so I did a blind buy and boy am I hooked on this scent! Avon's Eve Truth is one of the perfumes that I would absolutely gatekeep- but not to you lovelies!  If you are looking for a Floral Fruity perfume that is great for any special ocassion - This is it. With top notes of Cassis, Carambola, Black Currant and Pomegranate; Middle notes of Pink Freesia, Peony and Gardenia and base notes of Cedar, Musk and Amber brings in a symphony of timeless elegance to any look and occasion.  Though this may be a bit pricey at 1,009PHP, I can bet that this can go on sale on the next month at Avon as they bring out new scents every quarter.  I did use this during my friend's wedding back in October and it totally fitted the whole look I had. It has that airy sophisticated look which also dries down to a very clean scent afterwards. I got a lot of compliments on this when I wear it because according to some, the sc...

2014 Skincare Routine

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't blogged in a while. Been enjoying my vacay...well sort of.  I am officially you could say unemployed.   It sucks I know but there are actually a lot of things I am planning up so I decided to jump off the workforce for a while. I will go back full time for sure but for now I will be focusing my time on my blog, youtube channel and with my family.  nuff' chit chat lets get on with today's post shall we?  A lot of people actually comment a lot on my skin since it looks perfect  daw - I partly believe it yet I disagree in a way. I believe because I maintain a good skin care regimen, but disagree because there is no such thing as a perfect skin.

Photoescape Reviews: Avon Limited Edition Palette

Happy Friday my lovelies! I am so hyped this 2014 that I actually waited the new year to share this to you girls! I know really bad of me but I think its better :D  As of the moment, I am currently stocking up on palettes and tools I could use on my upcoming make up workshops and I think this one is definitely something I could use since its an all in one palette.  I'm talking about Avon's Holiday Palette!

Photoescape Reviews: Avon Ultra Glazewear Lip Gloss

Image
Hey lovelies! happy Saturday! I hope you are having a great Saturday so far.  Usually I don't like using lipglosses since they don't last long and the pigmentation doesn't really show up if I would opt for one.  Luckily while I was browsing through the interweb I saw a review from Shen's Addiction about this and thought about giving it a try just for fun. 

Product Review: Avon Ideal Oil Control Pressed Powder

Image
Happy Friday lovely ladies!  I haven't blogged for a while because I experienced some weird allergy that hindered me in shooting tutorials (bummer) Luckily all the nasties have subsided so its no problemo. While I was having the nasties, I actually tried to stop using all skin care product and also make up but I can't because I need to look put up at work. So I settled in just using eye brow pencil, lipstick and powder.

Happy Monday!  As of the moment I will be revamping this blog again so if you have any suggestions you can comment below or email me at alicemate1989@gmail.com. All comments and suggestions will be highly appreciated!  Soooo... how was your weekend? was it rainy like mine?  Seriously I don't like rainy days since it will just ruin your outfit and make up... shallow much teh? haha! I really have the same sentiment to those that are going back to school..especially those that are in college. I remember when I was in college, when it is raining hard I don't have to listen to the news because I know that college students still have to go to school and my only reaction was.. ano kami waterproof?!?! But alas being a student is something we have to overcome because once that we finished college I tell you that you will definitely miss it!

Hello ladies!  Its been a long time since I posted and FOTD right? Goodness I missed doing these kinds of posts, I will do more for sure! :)  Last Monday I think it was St. Patrick's day. I'm not sure since its not a holiday here in the Philippines nor in Korea but I have been hearing and seeing lots of posts on my SNS that I jumped in as well. I know I get easily swayed! lol

Product Review: Avon Ideal Luminous Foundation

Image
Foundations are one of those things that I really like to make a review on because its quite hard for me to find the shade good for my skin tone.  I have pale skin which is not typical if you are a Filipina, its especially hard to make it look like I didn't have it on. I was actually intrigued at first when I saw this at the latest Avon brochure since its Avon't newest foundation.

Happy Monday ladies!  I have been out of the loop for a while now because of some personal issues I need to settle, but don't worry it won't involve me leaving you guise! I just have to settle some plans I'm making about my next out of town trip and I need to make the necessary planning and logistics thing because I want everything to be okay when that day comes. Ugh just talking about it makes me want to cover up and say PLEASE MAKE IT MAY ALREADY!

Hello again!  I haven't been updating my favorites in time and it really sucks BIG TIME but I hope you girls understand..  So its not time of the month again for me to share my favorite stuff from last February.

February 2013 Haul

Hello lovelies! I'm really sorry if I haven't blogged this a bit sooner. As of the moment we are still renovating my studio so I've been pretty busy these days. On today's post I will be sharing to you the stuff that I've purchase last February. I didn't actually thought that I will be buying so much stuff last month because I was hoping to do major cosmetic purchases around April or May but..oh well. I did went overboard but I will actually give away some of the products that I bought last month so I feel really good about that. Most of the products that I will be showing in this post will be products that I will do a product review soon which is really exciting since trying out new products are a good thing to do if you are in the beauty blogging industry, because not only will you be trying out new products but also you are sharing your opinion about it.

Product Review: Avon Smooth Minerals Mascara

Image
Hello ladies! Happy Thursday! Time flies by so fast don't you think? Today is also the last day of February which is quite sad since one of my good colleagues is resigning and today is her last day :( I will surely cry lots of tears because of this. Thankfully, I won't be having those horrible Panda eyes because of it. On today's review will be all about Avon's Smooth Minerals Mascara. One of the things I really keep in mind when I buy mascaras is if they can make my lashes look as really natural to the point that someone would ask me if I'm wearing falsies (kidding!) But kidding aside, I really do keep in mind that the mascara had to look natural and also it has to be waterproof because having Panda eyes are not cute. 

Product Review: Avon Simply Pretty BB Cream

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.

Happy Sunday wonderful lovelies!  I was supposed to post this before February but procrastination got the worst of me. I know I shouldn't procrastinate but sometimes it just gets you like BAM!  But anyways these are the stuff I got last January since it was my birthday and also my beauty channel and blog's birthday! I know I'm just coming up with a reason to buy these but I think its valid! haha! I was quite surprised that I got a lot of stuff this month.

Hello ladies! How are you all doing today? For me, Not so well since I think I have the colds. I have been sneezing for quite a while now because of it. But thankfully I am able to go to work today. I have been feeling like this for a couple of days now and I hate it. Thankfully I have tons of Smart C at home and lots of fruits and veggies. And as of today, I am fasting to cleanse my body of all the toxins that I've been getting last year. I will tell you more in my Diet Diaries.
