Tony Moly Delight magic lip tint

Image
I love this product! This is what my friend was using but in other variant. I chose this because the tint is more dark and more fuschia pink. I love that it moisturizes my lips while keeping it pigmented. It is not waxy but definitely sticky. Thats a cons for a lot of people even for me at first. But its not like any other glosses that is liquidy type impf sticky. This is a thicker sticky type of balm. I hate to use this with fingers so  Im really happy to learn that my lipliner also from this brand has a built in lip brush.  swatches  :) I know my phone camera doesnt justify the pinkness it gives especially when it is applied on the lips but I think it always depends on the body chemistry of the person using the tint. And so far, Im very happy with the results I believe the product last me for a whole 5hours period with heavy meals and drinks in between. The stickyness is already gone and whats left is only the tint.  Tony moly has several lovely products to choose ...

Korean Make up haul

Image
Last friday, I went to SM manila just to get through the sale items of Etude House. Thought of getting a new BB cream and a lipstick. Unfortunately, I wasnt able to buy what I really planned to  but instead I bought myself a new milky lip tint, a restock of my favorite lipliner and a dual pencil sharpener. Ok O know, I couldve bought in a department store but what can I do, Im just human! haha. anyway, I havent spend that much in Etude. My next stop is Tony Moly. I just wanted to get a tint but I got a bunch of lip products just because I wanted a card. Im not in the right mind honestly speaking. But we'll never know maybe I'll need it someday haha if ever Im gonna buy make up from that brand again. I am loving my 2 tints from tony moly and my lip liner again but this time it has a built in lipbrush but ofcourse the price is twice the etude :(  thats it! kisses :*💋💋💋

Im back

Image
Always MIA lately because of stress haha! what would it be?! First semester is over and now the start of second sem is fast approaching. I dont know if Im gonna be excited for the upcoming holidays because it just means that more stressful days are coming. I dont really need to stress myself out especially if I love what I am now, a medical student with so many things to learn but time and the class standing are pressuring me. I can explode anytime soon. For the meantime, while Im having a fresh air here in my room (wait what?) outside school and away from the doctors, I will just enjoy my shallow hobby. Anything that will make me pretty! :)  kisses! :*

Ben Nye banana luxury powder

Image
I always wonder why bloggers were raving about this banana powder. It seems overpriced and overrated for me actually. Its not my favorite of all time but I like the fact that it can neutralize greyish cast of korean bb creams to match your skin tone. I also love it because of its fine milled powder. I've never seen other loose powder as fine as Ben Nye. Its like a yellow dust. No debris and clumpings. What I dont love about this is the steep price that speaks for its name and the packaging. It would've been so much etter if they package it as a make up enthusiast friendly and not only for pros mua. :) thats it

Burts Bees Daisy White workshop with Liz

Image
Such a long title post! Anyway, yesterday we went to Glorietta to attend the workshop by Liz Lanuzo (blogger of projectvanity.com) in partnership with Burts bees daisy white line which held inside Beauty Bar counters.  Lets jump to the wonderful workshop. Its just like any classroom where in someone will discuss in front and demo the product.   The three things Ms.Liz would want us to remember when it comes to skincare are: 1.) Read labels 2.) try one at a time 3.) Be patient So Im one of those girls who already know this rule when it comes to skincare but still guilty of not following this. I dont usually read labels, I just trust what the product says it can do. But, this time Im gonna read labels, to know if the extract is listed at the bottom part then thats a NO for me. Next is, when I have acne all over (like I always have) I remember buying the whole line of Celeteque and trying it all the same time and trust me it never clear my pimples. Not a single one and I dont kno...

Sunshine blogger award

Hi lovely ladies.. Im so happy that makeupinmanila.blogspot.com tagged me in this post. Finally, someone is noticing me in the bloggerworld hehe. Thank you for that. So, without further ado, I'd like to share with you some 11 facts about me. 1.) I am a medical student I always dream of becoming a doctor someday. Dont get me wrong, I am not bragging, I am just sharing what is my dream. Actually, I consider myself as an average student, so it means that I also procrastinate, I copy homeworks from my seatmates, I cram for exams hehe but I dont cheat. And thats something Im proud of. I dont easily get things if they just tackle in one meeting. But I also not into books. I dont know how I am going to survive this medschool but I hope I will. With the patience and wisdom that I am asking everyday of my school life I hope I will. 2.) I am a 23 yr old late bloomer about makeup Haha. I dont wear eyebrows until my college graduation and that really sucks. I wear them occasionally but I cant ...

Joining the bandwagon: Myra E BB Cream

Image
What I can say is, its better late than never. Though, CC cream is already here in the beauty market in the Philippines, BB cream is still the trend. Of course, everybody wanted the coverage a liquid foundation can provide but we are also worried about our skin care isnt it? and a BB cream can provide both. That is why, I am not surprised when Myra is also releasing their own BB cream. I havent swatch it but here's a picture of the new Myra Vitaglow BB cream. It is priced Php99 an available in watsons. I saw it in SM SanLazaro Department store but I guess it will be also available in leading drugstores. It has 2 shades: beige and Ivory. If you are familiar with their tinted moisturizer, I think their shade is also patterned with their tinted moisturizer. I hoping that they will have their tester soon, so we can swatch what shade will suit our skintone. til then ladies :*

Sampleroom's Celeteque

Image
I am so glad I met my fave site in the whole wide world because of them I get to try different products of a lesser value. They introduce me to my holy grail products that I know Ill keep repurchasing. Just like todays feature: Celeteque.  I already got these goodies months ago and finally decided to review them. The first one I got was 1.)Celeteque Sun care soothing lip balm  First of, I honestly think its a bit overpriced. For an 8g tub, well for a lipbalm that is already a lot of product but for the price of Php190? I can definitely get a retractable lipbalm with just half of its price. But I loved this the moment I tried them on watsons. It soothes my cracked lips. I've been thinking of purchasing it but Im a bit hesitant because I really think its overpriced. But when sampleroom finally launch it, I immediately grab one. I got the chance to review it. For me, it looks like a medicated lipbalm. I love that it has spf15, uva and uvb filters that would protect my lips from s...

Quick FX Eyelift Cream

Image
While we're studying for Midterms around October, my friends decided to just stroll around SM Valenzuela. We reach watsons because my friend is looking for an eyecream. She must be worried with all the late nights reviewing and reading a lot of books. She's the type of girl that wont worry about  beauty stuff and wrinkles but not until she saw an old friend nearly on her 30's. She's completely aware that laugh lines and wrinkles would appear when get older. We studied that already in our physiology that our skin's collagen would slowly diminish as we age and thats what happen to our skin elasticity. They become saggy and wrinkly. My friend was moved when she saw fine lines and wrinkles around her friend's eyes when smiling. And thats the story behind the eyecream she wanted to purchase.  I am now 23, and fully aware that I am not getting any younger. I am really afraid of getting wrinkles.I am still working on my acne treatment and all of a sudden another skin p...

Summer time haul

Image
Its summer and Im sooo happy I am finally an incoming 2nd year without back subjects haha. Im soo proud of myself. Sorry guys, Im just soo happy that I dont have remedial class because that would prolly stress the heck out of me. And atleast I dont have to spend P4000 for a single subject and a removal exam. What i did? I just spend it on beauty products! totally kidding!! Im not rich and I still have student allowance with me AND its summer meaning I dont have any money to spend because Ive no class (sigh). So what I got for myself is just a few sachets to try and few stuffs. I got the sansan hd concealer which I really like. Sachets of my to try moisturizer and facial washes from different brands. So, I already crossed out some of my to buy list like these brushes brcause I really dont have time to go to trinoma during school days to buy these. Im gonna review the angles flat top brush next. so until next time :*

Project Used Up: Skin care

Image
1.) Citro Belle Skin lotion Are you familiar with this brand or the product itself? Please ask your mom or titas for me Im sure they are! I got this bottle of Citro belle skin lotion from my mom that works as a toner. She use this way back in her college days (about 30years ago! omg haha) as a toner after she cleanses her face. It has salicylic acid which is best for pimples and this stuff works for me years ago when I was still in my senior year in college. I tried it again when I got these burst of cystic acne but I got tired of waiting and it seems like the effectiveness of this product isnt happening on my face anymore and I had to switch to other products. What I love about this is that, it amazingly cleanses your face. I love it more than eskinol because I dont really like eskinol hehe. I use this when I am so lazy to erase my make up and it cleanses my face like crazy. Ofcourse you dont put this on your eyemake up because it gonna hurt so bad to the point that you cant open it b...

mini haul: Landmark and Watsons

Image
Got this two gentle cleansers because my Etude facial wash is not doing any good to my skin I had to switch brands and I found this one.  The Neutrogena is unscented and cleanses well, though it doesnt lather nicely I still like it. I have to get back to cetaphil though its too mild for my damaged skin. I decided to put my faith on it once again because I run out of ideas on what to do with my acnes. These ponds sachets are very practical to buy because you can sample first the product if that would work for you I got these little stuffs from Landmark. The mini jar was used for BB cream and the perfume bottle is for my body mist. I find clean and clear more efficient when dealing with oily skin. I also got tweezers for stubborn hair around my defined brow.

Eyeing for arm candies

Image
Well, I cant decide on whether what bracelet to get. Help me please! Btw, the pictures are from The bead shop. This one is my favorite. Its so unique with all the eggs and nest details. I also love this one but its more of a boho styled necklace and Im kindaf letting it pass nalang. I might also buy this if they still have their promo. I think its under P200. This rosebeads is competing with my favorite. Maybe because of its simplicity and the message it entails embedded on its charm. Hay, if I could just get both. Looks like these are made for teens, but still cute to have them around. Kisses^^
