New Bath Companion from Watsons

Who doesn't love taking a bath? I live in the Philippines where it's very humid and the temperature can go up to 60 degree Celsius or even higher during summer. I have bath-time essentials which I use on a daily basis. I just recently run-out of my favorite body wash from The body shop, I first thought of buying new ones from Daiso just to give it a try but I decided to check Watson's first. I know they have body essentials like lotion, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap and even mouthwash at a very reasonable price. Some items are on Buy-one Get-one promo. Watson's carry a lot of different products from head to toe. I have tried their mouthwash and Hair Spa. I must say that they work perfectly the same as the other brands with a higher price tag because of the expensive commercials and advertisements. My husband and I still use their mouthwash until now. Here are my new bath-time companion from Watson's. I currently use this deep moisturizing

Contouring using ELF Blush and Bronzing Powder

Hi everyone! (a big cyber wave to all of you guys). I want to thank you all for continously reading my blog though I have not been posting for a few months now. I know, I know I owe a lot to you, I am very much excited to post new reviews and what not in my blog. So let me start of with a contour and blush powder duo. I have been going back and forth to the ELF beauty counter asking myself if I should get it or not. Are you someone like me who's very pickle minded? I wanted it but then I was having a second thought so I didn't get it but after 2 days I see myself back at the counter checking and making swatches. Until the day finally come, I tried it on my face and guess what, not even a split second it's there inside my shopping bag. This is being compared to the NARS blush and bronzer duo but I don't have the one from NARS so I can't compare them at this point. I got the color in  St. Lucia, the name by the way is written on the back of the compact. It comes

Avon Totally Kissable Lipstick in Berry Smooch Review

Hello there lovelies! Yes it is another lipstick shade from the Totally Kissable line of Avon. This time it's all about Berry Smooch. I hope you read my review about the first shade that I bought which is Make Out Red . I love how that color instantly brightens my face and keeps my lips moisturized at the same time. I had a hard time deciding which shade to choose. I don't have a purple-ish lipstick yet, so getting might be a good idea. After half-a-day browsing Avons website I am finally fixed to Berry Smooch. "Full coverage color infused with fruit enzymes and a blend of natural oils. For softer, smoother, fuller lips".   The color at the bottom of the packaging is helpful in identifying the color you want to use but it is not as intense as the real color of the lipstick. It has SPF 15 which is a great factor of buying this lippie especially this summer season. The ingredients are listed on the packaging. Without flash with flash L:on

Fashion 21 Pink Obsession Lipstick

Hello everyone! Were you able to grab something during the 3 Days sale at some Malls? I've got myself some make-up that I will be sharing with you here on my blog. First of is the Fashion 21 Pink Obsession Lipstick. I first saw this on Say Tioco's youtube account. I wanted to buy all of the shades because they were all pretty and pigmented but practicality struck me. I decided to get two shades to try.   Here is how the box looks. Yes it's pink. It comes in a pink tube, very feminine. I really like that it's pink. It added to the appeal of the lipstick, it somehow gives an idea that all of the colors in this range are pink. For php155 it's definitely value for money. With Flash Without flash L: Hot Diva R: Dream Girl Left: One swipe Right: two swipes Hot Diva is definitely the hottest color in this collection. It's pink with a red undertone it almost looks like fushia. I can wear this with a clean face, define brows and da

Ellana Mineral Blush in Fulfillment

Hello lovelies! I went to the doctor today with my little baby for a flu vaccine. We've been having humid weather this week and it's the time of the year when many will get vaccinated to prevent various kinds of viruses that could be trasferred thru air. Remember, prevention is better than cure :) For todays post I will be reviewing one of the few blushes I have in my collection. Do you have any item that you've been keeping but took it for granted because you have other stuff to be finish? Well I do., I've had this blush for over a year but just occasionally use it because I have other blushes to use. Until I saw it again in my make-up kit looking at me, begging me to use it. With flash Without flash I got this blush from Ellana Mineral Cosmetics. I put my ordered online, paid for the item plus the shipping fee thru GCash then my products were delivered within 3 business days. It was an easy and fast transaction. I also credit Ellana because they give free

Nichido Foundation Stick

During my recent trip to the mall I have included some Nichido items on my purchases. Nichido has been one of the brands I trust when it comes to affordable-local make-up. I have used some Nichido products before and liked them. It is not the best product when it comes to staying power but with how cheap the product is I wouldn't mind applying for the whole day. Another Nichido item exceeded my expectation. It is the Nichido Foundation Stick. I'll be reviewing the color Beige because it suits my skintone perfectly well. Let me show you the swatches first. Beige - with flash Beige - without flash It looks lighter than my skin tone but when perfectly blended it wouldn't leave a trace that I have anything on my face. Bare face I put the foundation directly from the stick. I put it on my forehead, nose, cheek and chin. Blend it well using my fingers. You can use a brush but I think my fingers does the job perfectly. With foundation on  It instant

A review on Fashion21 Aqualicious Lipstick

Hello lovelies! I just came home because we went to Malolos Bulacan to attend a Christening of one of our friends' baby. I had fun especially my son because there were kids all around and he gets to play with other kids. I want him to grow up as a sociable and friendly person. So today I'll be reviewing one of the items from my February make-up haul. It is the Fashion 21 Aqualicious Moisture-Rich lipstick in Little Mermaid. I thought Little Mermaid is a cute name in a lipstick, isn't it? I got it from Watsons for Php155.00 per 4g tube. When I bought it, I told the SA that I will give it to my sister but when I tried it on using a tester, I immediately had a second thought. I still called my sister and told her about my new find. It comes in a blue packaging which is appealing to high school and college students who are experimenting with make-up. I also find the design on the box refreshing, it looks like water splashes. It reminds me of the beach and the waves when
