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 instantly remove light blemishes on my face and gives an even skintone. It doesn't feel heavy after application, I didn't feel the need to apply a face powder because it gives a nice dewy finish but to make it last longer I applied a little amount of face powder. It doesn't have a mattifying effect, I would advise applying powder if you have really oily skin.

With foundation and face powder
What I like:

*Light to Medium coverage, can hide blemishes and pimple marks
* Dewy finish but not sticky
* The shade suits my skintone perfectly
* Price Php150.00 for 9ml of product
* locally available (watsons and SM department store)


What I don't Like:

- Smell, it smells like Chingchung-Su
- Packaging is flimsy. It kinda loose when I twistedit.
- it doesn't stay long about 2-3 hours with blotting powder

If you are looking for light to medium coverage foundation at an affordable price and staying power is not a big deal then you should give this foundation stick a try. Although this will work better on person with normal to dry skin I will still use it at home or if I'll go out to get some groceries. Staying power can be extended by blotting with oil control film and applying powder. It started to oil up on me after 2 hours but I didn't mind because I like the dewy effect.

I don't love it but don't hate it either. It is an ok product for me if you are on a budget but still want to have an even toned skin. For its price and beautiful finish you're money wouldn't go to waste.

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
