ELF Healthy Glow Bronzing Powder Review

Hello lovelies! Remember the small ELF haul I posted a week ago? I'm been using them since, so today I'll be reviewing the ELF Healthy Glow Bronzing Powder.

This is not the first time for me to use this product. I used it three years back thinking that it is a powder and I wondered why my whole face was glowing. Oh well...that's me just starting a relationship with make-up. I was in need of a highlighter to make my face glow when I'm wearing matte foundation. I searched online for an affordable one just so I can practice then I found good reviews on ELF Healthy Glow Bronzing Powder.

e.l.f. Essential Healthy Glow Bronzing Powder

Achieve a sun-kissed complexion year round! The silky smooth, fine powder formula blends evenly and easily onto the skin for a lightweight feel. Use all over the body for a touch of sheer radiance. Perfect to buff onto the face, arms, shoulders, legs and décolleté for a gorgeous natural glow

I got the color in Luminance which is lighter than my skin tone. This is supposed to be used as a bronzer given it's name but the light color makes it applicable to be use as a highlighter. It comes in a plastic packaging that doesn't look cheap to me at all, for its price I wouldn't ask for a fancy one. You can easily see the color on top, on the bottom is a sticker where the name of the color is written. I wouldn't mind as well if they will put something underneath to cover the adhesive. Opening it is a pain, I don't know...but I have to give force just to open it.



I use it mainly on the face just for a hint of glow. I put it on the bridge of my nose, my cupids bow, on top of my brows and on my cheekbone. The color is pigmented, one or two swipes are enough to get the natural glow I want. I wouldn't say I have a sun-kissed complexion after applying it, again I'm just using it as a highlight and not as a bronzer. It does blends easily on the skin, I usually use the contour brush from Charm for application.



I've been using it everyday and so far I'm loving the effect. I love the natural glow that it gives on my face. I am thinking of using it for summer but I also thought that a darker shade is better if I want a sunkissed glow. It doesn't stay on my face longer than 3 hours, because of my oily skin I need to re-apply at least twice a day. If I don't blot an oil control sheet I would look like a mine of oil. But given all that, I still love this product and will definitely repurchase.


Have you tried this bronzer from ELF?

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

Aido Classic Lipstick Review

Hello pretty ladies! Have you heard before about the local brand called Aido? I used to call it "I do" just because I want to make fun of myself and that makes the brand sounds a little bit more interesting hihihi. I was checking Fashion 21 cosmetics because I needed to buy new powder foundation. I noticed the lipsticks from Aido sitting there on Fashion 21 stall, that's when I realized they don't have their own. I swatched some of the colors specifically the pink ones because I'm looking for another pink lipstick and the color that I want from Maybelline is not yet available here in the Philippines. Instead of just swatching pinks I found myself checking as well the other shades but I ended up buying the shades N, K and B. It  doesn't sound good when lipsticks are named by letters, don't you think? The packaging looks like the old packaging of a lipstick that my Mom used to wear but it doesn't look cheap to me at all, in fact it reminds me Mode

Maybelline Clear Smooth B.B Stick

Hi Lovely ladies! It's been weeks or month since my last post, I've been pre-occupied with a lot of things but I always kept thinking about this blog and my readers. It's a sunny Thursday today and I'm hoping all of you are having a good day. I can't believe how time pass by so fast. Today I'm going to review a product by Maybelline called Clear Smooth B.B Stick . I've had this for more than a month and I use it when I'm going to the mall or just at home. I saw this babe when I was already making a payment at Watsons. It got my attention because I've never seen a B.B Cream made just like this. I know BB creams are in liquid form like foundation and I've seen a foundation stick but not BB Stick like this one. Maybelline claims: Clear Smooth BB Stick is a multi-benefit product that combines the benefits of skin care, make-up, and sun block in a stick. It contains salicylic acid that helps clear away pores and imperfections, and miner
