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 in a black packaging with the picture of what's inside on top and at the back are the Directions and Ingredients.

 
 



 
Inside it is a matte black compact, you open it and you'll see a big mirror which is very helpful if you will be applying make-up while travelling.

Pros:

* Price (only php249.75 at SM Department store)
* neat and professional packaging
* nothing beats the amount of product for it's price (8grams)
*very good pigmentation
*easy to blend
*the color that I got looks beautiful on any skintone
*mirror is useful
*it's not tested on animals


Cons:

- other people may be concern about the glitters which to me is not a big deal

Contouring with this one will make your face looks glowing because it has a little bit of shimmer, just a little that it goes off when blended very well. It has no hint of orange, just brown like how a contouring powder should be. Contour the edges of your face very lightly during the day or add more for a very defined look

The blush looks great if you want a natural look, dust it very lightly for a no make-up make-up look. Just a little will go a long way with this duo. It has gained a spot in my heart and in my make-up kit.


Thank you for reading ladies and I see you in my next post!

Milani Single and Quad eyeshadow

Hello pretties! How have you all been doing lately? I've been busy thinking if I should get a MAC eyeshadow palette or MAC brushes. But when I heard from youtube gurus that Milani have nice colors of eyeshadows which are pretty the same of MAC I went ahead and check google. Here are my top finds for you.  They call this palette Exotic Berries I think that it's because most of the colors in this quad have pink shades. I haven't tried wearing all of the colors from this one and I feel excited to show how it looks. I apologize if I'm not able to take swatches of this. My camera washes off the color when I took the pictures. My favorite color here is the second one from the first row. It has a nice silver color with a little bit of pink shimmer on it but not too shimmery. Next is what they call Sedona Sunset. I can use it when I want that neutral eye look. I also have few single eyeshadow. From left: Almondine, Sheer Sand and Desert Sun. From Lef...

My First Secosana Bags Purchase

Hello pretty ladies! It's the start of the week and I'm hoping all of you are having a great day. I just want to share my first purchase of Secosana Bags. I've seen a lot of women wearing bags from Secosana and because of that I tried to keep away from the brand thinking that I'll bumped with a person wearing the same bag as mine. But yesterday, My husband and I went to SM North for the 3-Days Sale and oh  my! Most of the items are on 10%-50% off. Not only that, new items that are being sold at it's regular price during weekdays are also on SALE! I planned on buying a new bag so I checked around the Department store to see what I can get. I then saw the sign from Secosana showing 50% off of their Bags on display. I checked all colors and designs before I decided what to buy (I actually get my Moms' opinion before buying the bags). Here are the photos. I got this for P690 (regular price P1399.75) I got this for P650 (regular price P899.75) ...

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 ...
