However they released a new mineral make-up line w/c costs 300-500php.

MY NEW FOUND FAVORITE PRESSED POWDER

Aside from my maybelline powder foundation and in2it bb brightening 2 way foundation 
(comment if you want a review of the products mentioned on top)


I found a new fave! it is the Beauty Treats Mineral Pressed Powder!

 this baby right here costed me 396php and can be found at any SM DEPARTMENT store . . i'm in the shade number 2 and i'm about a Mac NC 30. . this may appear bronzey or shimmery but it isn't that shimmery at all. It has a glowing effect on the skin and has this finely milled shimmers in it w/c is not that noticeable at all! :D


it creates that "visual blur" that covers your imperfections...  

 this is the powder with flash..

this is without flash.. it may appear dark in the pan but believe me it isn't in person. it has minerals in it which makes it better for your skin.. 


however it doesn't have that much coverage and it is only perfect to set your foundation or if you need to touch up during the day.. 


this can be used over foundation ( liquid, cream and powder) 


over all this powder is really good! :D

The Best Local Brand Lipsticks! :D

Hello Ladies!


Today's Review is all about these really cheap but high quality lipsticks from EVER BILENA.  Ever Bilena is a drugstore brand here in the Philippines and can be bought at any WATSONS or SM DEPARTMENT STORES. 

 The shades that i have are BURGUNDY SHINE (TOP) and BERRY ROSE (bottom).
These Lipsticks are very pigmented and long wearing, i can say that Burgundy Shine is a bit intimidating at first glance but it gives off this very beautiful plum color.It is very wearable even at day time and gives the lips just enough "UMPH" to make heads turn! :D

 the second shade that i have is BERRY ROSE (left) it is a very beautiful bright pink color, it is quite shocking but is very beautiful on the lips, with a neutral eye it can be the perfect accent for your look. I often pair this color with a neutral eye and just black liner (comment if you want a BLOGtutorial) :D 

 over-all these lipsticks are a must have in anyone's collection they are only 125php and they work like maybelline lipsticks which cost 395++ php. 

Very Smooth, highly Pigmented ..  these lipsticks are Love! :*

My Best Foundation Combination

Hello Ladies! 

This is my own review for two separate products being combined to achieve my most flawless look.. 


Revlon COLORSTAY foundation in 240 Medium Beige is the shade that i use, it is slightly lighter than my skin tone but i can get away with it because it blends very well. I bought mine as SM department store for 800++ a couple of months ago. When used alone i find it less hydrating and takes time to blend, because i have dry skin it can also form patches when i sweat a little on my forehead. One thing i like about this foundation is it lasts for a long time.. 16 hours or so. 


Last month i came across this BB cream, Maybelline's clear smooth 8 in 1 skin transformer BB cream. i used this alone for a month but i wasn't contented of the coverage that it was giving me though it was so hydrating and i love it! bought it at Watsons for 249php.


What better way to join their powers together? 


mixem! i mix a pea size amount of colorstay foundation and a pump the Maybelline BB cream on the back of my hand, mix them together and use a stippling brush to evenly distribute the product on your face.


the mixture can depend on the coverage you desire:


bb cream > Foundation = less coverage
bb cream < Foundation = more coverage
bb cream = foundation = medium coverage


try it! :D
